First grow. hydros and soil...

[Miss Lead]

OK, sacrificed the 2nd set of hydros. They haven't drank since the transplant plus we needed the space. Those bushes are taking over.

I did some LST on a couple of them. Had to tie them down to a staple in the side of the closet. We'll see what happens...

 

[MRGREENIE]

HEY THOSE PLANTS LOOK GREAT
dam if only you had some more space tho
why dnt you move the plants in the soil outside :farm:then you should have more room for the more impotant plants the hydros :watchplant:
other then that good job
2 MRGREENIE thumbs up :ccc:

 

[Miss Lead]

thank you! and I know... we want to upgrade to a whole room. lol.

anyway had to remove 2 more plants today to make room for this monster.
There's actually 4 plants in one 10 gallon tub. I circled them in red. the lone tall skinny skunk of mine can be seen behind them peeking over.

more pics for the fun of it.

 

[Miss Lead]

quick update. they're the same - but bigger. No signs of sex or flowers yet.

Plants are really looking good!

 

[Miss Lead]

time for another update. had to remove 2 bastards. the remaining aren't showing signs of sex yet that I can tell. I'm sick of seeing balls, I know that for sure.

close ups are of my prescious skunk and... 'the big one'

 

[Miss Lead]

more pics. also added a pic of my son's pumpkin plant.


also.. do those look like balls to you?? and does anyone recognize what bizarre strain that big plant is? there's 11 leaves on some of 'em...

 

[Miss Lead]

ok time for an update. we have 4 ladies. well that's not true. we have 3 confirmed ladies and one crazy skunk who refuses to show sex. it's a freak but I love it just the same. if we have an "ugliest plant contest" I'm winning that Kaplooie Louie. (Miss Lead, when someone tries to get past the language filters, I make up my own! - Stoney)

pics!

also, added the son's pumpkin plant cuz.. why not.

wht kind of hydro system are u running?
is it homemade or bought?

 

[Miss Lead]

it's a $50 jobbie that the boyfriend found online somewhere. It consists of:
10 gallon tub with holes in the lid. (for the cups)
and one of those bubbler rock things you put in fish tanks.
It came with the those clay balls and slotted cups too.

We added another bubbler thingy about a week ago. It's WAY basic but it seems to work.

I think once you go hydro, you never go back to soil. (unless space is an issue of course)

 

[Syke]

haha thanx for the help
im thinking about converting to hydro now.
tht looks similar to something i want
stealthydroponics.com
seems legit....

I think once you go hydro, you never go back to soil.

Ain't that a fact?

It may be basic, but you're giving them 100% of what they need!

Good luck to you!

Here's some GREEN MOJO for you! Just click it!

quick update - day 20 of 12/12. we have 4 confirmed females. my Ugly Betty super skunk decided to finally show pistils after bending her over. lol.

aaand I'm trying my hand at cloning. got the Clonex and that whole bit. we'll see how that goes... :watchplant:

quick update - day 20 of 12/12.....I'm trying my hand at cloning. got the Clonex and that whole bit. we'll see how that goes...

If you take clones from a plant that is in flower, the clone will be at the same stage of growth.

You'll need to revert her back into the vegetative state to root her. Since I've never done that, you'll have to see what results you get from that.

Do you have a known female in vegetative cycle that you can clone from? The clone will always be at exactly the same state as the host plant.

Good luck!

 

[Miss Lead]

yeh. I have 4 chics that are 3 weeks into flower. and I have the clones on 24/7 flouros. I read in "The Cannabis Grow Bible" that you can take clones from flower but it'll take a lot longer to get then to root and do their thing to go back to veg mode. like 3 weeks instead of a normal 1 or sumsing. BUT I think that'll work out OK because by the time they're ready for the hydro system the ones in flower should be done. maybe. ha!

bottom line: I have no idea if this will work - but if it does - RAD!

 

[jjsunderground]

i ditched my clones that i took from my plant. i cut the original plant when it was about a foot tall. i cut abouit a third of the top off tried cloning that and took about six more from the lower part. but they were taking to long so i threw them out. looks like you have a humidity dome..so it should work out well. peace!

[CasualGrower]

I took a few clones after a couple weeks in flower too.. i ttook a couple days longerfor it to root good, but it did and there is no problem..... just keep the hunidity up for them and a lil love and it will root fer ya 8).

 

[Miss Lead]

I have a q about the cloning process. you don't nute them do you? (besides the rooting gel) just 'water' them with pH 5.5 water?
