2nd grow journal. Things got busy during my last grow. My e&f attempt sucked so i ended up just goin back to soil mid grow. Plants rebounded and ended up with 2 females outta 6 plants. Got about 2oz dried flowering with just a 400watt HPS. Was 2 dif strains and 1 of them didnt yeild at all.
I started a new soil grow a few months ago and tried to figure out my plan to finally start my perpetual which meant i had to find a way to consitantly root my own clones which i havent had a lot of luck doing(rockwool, homemade aero).
I found using rapid rooters in soil in party cups was pretty much fail proof. This is my 2nd batch of clones taken maybe a week ago. 13 for 13. My first batch taken about a month ago was 100% also 14 for 14.
In the soil grow i started a few months ago it seemed it took like forever for my plants to grow branches to clone. They were about 3-4 feet after I took the 2nd batch of clones off of them and put em into flowering. 2 of them didnt stop growing till about 6 feet which ended up being a problem I will describe later in this thread(which will be easily fixed once I make the switch to aero)
I just recently bought a 600watt HPS and after some returns and some runaround i finally got it up and running today. For about 2 weeks I had to use my 400watt MH to start flowering my 1st batch of clones because i couldnt waste any more time. So my flowering room was 400watt HPS over the orignal stupid tall ones, 400MH over 9 batch 1 clones.
I got my 600watt hooked up today so now the flowetring room is all HPS and I can finally put my 2nd batch of clones under the 400watt MH and veg.
The plan is switch the entire veg area to aero after batch 2 of soil clones go into flower. After batch 2 of soil clones are harvested the entire flowering room will be also switched to aero/nft pvc post system. Batch 2 of soil clones will be going towards another 600watt HPS light for flowering room idealy.
So heres where im at today:
Heres the 2 plants that didnt stop growing. 23days flowering. I have about 6 clones of each tall ones. The closer one is looking to be a really good pheno. Prob the only pheno I will end up keeping when i switch to aero.
This is day 8 of flowering on first batch of clones.
2nd batch of clones. Im trading my dude 3 of these for 3 Sour Diesel later tonight. They will all be transplanted into 2.5 gallon pots later tonight, fox farm OF soil and put under 400watt MH to veg till I can clone em then thrown into the flowering room to be my last soil grow ever hopefully.
The smaller system is where batch 2s clones + sour ds clones + the purple #1 femenized I have germing right now will be going. I hope to be able to have better luck with my homemade aero cloner this run around but if I need to will just rootem in rapid rooters and put those into the net pots since I have a lot of success cloning in rooters for sure.
The bigger system is where i plan to just veg em out till i can clone em, then throw them into the aero flowering room.
I have to go to the hydro shop to buy some more EZspray things, nutes and soil(ugh) for batch 2 clones. Ill try to update weekly.
