WEll, I believe I am ready to clone. I went and bought a Rapid Rooter , tray, dome and cubes. I picked up some MG seedling starter soil and some Black Gold seedling starter. I have two bottles of "Rooting" hormone, and I have read everything I can find. Can you think of anything I am forgetting? I have blades, tweesers, and rubbing alcohol.

It will be a week or two, but I wanted to be ready before hand -- unlike every step up until here where I put the cart before the horse. Have a great day.

Peace

The only thing i see missing is a light

I do have those funky CFLs I bought thinking T was going to save some money. I should have gotten the T5 4 bulb then. The CFLs will fedge until I get the T5 next week.

On another note: I popped a seed in a paper towel -- I don't remember which way to put it in the soil. Does the root coming out go up or down? I dropped it in pointing up -- is that right?

 

[HemperFi]

root going up, if you put it down the seed will try to flip itself again. i just germ in little nursery containers now have better luck than with towels

"Nursery containers" -- you mean like Jiffy Pots?

 

[HemperFi]

So okay, I ran out of weed again. I can now see a time when this won't happen to me. Instead of going with my gangster friends and dealing with all the Rap music and the blunts -- I went with the low-lifes instead. Scary white people, but they came through. One hundred USD for a quarter. Not bad weed. Tiny buds, but they work well. And they delivered from the trailer park -- I won't have to deal with losers ever again in a couple of months. Not that I'm not grateful, but I don't like having to deal with people I do not (can not) trust -- Are you with me here?

 

[bho_expertz]

We are all with you ... But i do the same when the stash runs over ... It is my goal two ... Self-Dependent.

 

[Lemon Jack]

Totally with you Im still there I hate buying buds

 

[HemperFi]

My question of the day is: How long should the root sticking out of the seed be when you put it in the dirt?

 

[Parcero]

I believe theres not one universal rule for that. I usually check my beans once a day when germinating and pot them when they have cracked. Sometimes theres just the tiny tip just showing itself , sometimes it's already 1-2cm long. Seeds can be places in dirt as they come and be germinated in dirt aswell. This can some times take a bit longer than germinating between paper towels but then you dont have the risk of damaging the very fragile root when potting them. I've damaged so many..

 

[HemperFi]

Thank you Par.

Just what I needed to know

I'll plant that puppy now, while the root is just showing -- pointed up.

 

[HemperFi]

I didn't know that Puffin. Thanks

Here are the pics for today -- let me know what you think -- and tell the truth

They look nice and healthy.

Here are closeups of the AK-47, the one I call the "Alien," a closeup of a top, and another angle of the WP. (White Power)

What's up with the Alien -- have you seen a plant develope like this?

 

[HemperFi]

I have put them back on 24/0 -- the only change I could see at 18/6 was that their growth slowed down about 25%. I'm still trying to get them to stretch some. I want them to grow up as well as out, so I raised the light. It's a good 3 ft. from the top of the tallest plant -- this seems to be helping some.

 

[HemperFi]

Yeah, another week -- at least -- I KNOW I can clone the ladies, but I kinda like this Mighty Might, and I want to clone them as well, and I will. It looks to me like some pretty good Kush, I bet ... hope I get a couple of ladies from these plants.

Looking good HF......I hve gotten a cpl mutant plants myself. I remember a female or two so don't count it out just yet. Matter of fact the Sour Cataract I am growing out from eugenics is/was a mutant. It has gotten better looking with age.

As for the Mighty Mite if it is auto don't bother trying to clone it.....unless it doesn't auto flower. I cloned an Auto Pakistani Ryder that never auto flowered and it was actually good smoke and stuck around my grow room for a Cpl runs.

They are looking nice and bushy and green and healthy! IMO, there is no reason that a new grower cannot produce some fine bud first time out. Don't worry, they WILL stretch once you put them into 12/12. No matter how bushy my plants may seem, I never encourage stretch in veg as I know it will come in flowering. Put the light back down close to them--you really do not want any stretch now.

You might want to check out what you really got growing there. If the Mighty Mite is indeed an auto, you want to be treating it differently than the photoperiod plants. Like mentioned, you cannot clone it and you will probably want to get some flowering nutes started. They should also stay in either 24/7 or 20/4 light and not be put into 12/12.

 

[HemperFi]

Okay darling -- the light goes back down

When I ordered the seeds it said nothing about them being "autos"

nor "femed"

and they were cheap -- less expensive than the autos and fems

who knows? could be bag seed as far as I know.

This is what I found about the strain. although it doesn't call this an auto, check out the last line of the description.

"?Mighty Mite cannabis seeds is a famous BC indica strain from the Himalayas cultivated for 12 - 15 years here. It is uniquely suitable for indoor or outdoor cultivation. All Mighty Mite cannabis seeds varieties and hybrids feature a dominant main cola that explodes in the 6th to 8th week of flowering.
Flowering Period : 7-8 weeks. Height : 2.5'-3.5? ? Marc Emery Direct seedbank catalog ?From Lesquiti Island in B.C. Seeds take up to 14 days to germinate. Huge cola!
Specifications: ~ Plant: Jun. 1st ~ Finish: Oct. 1st ~
Height: 4-6? ~ Yield: 3-4 oz? ?
?Indoor/Outdoor. From a population of 3000, 50 of the best females were selected to produce a definitive 90 day strain. This generation will show a much higher consistency of commercial grade bud development.
Yield: 3-4 of Oz to Oz. for the experienced grower. For a smaller window of profile outdoors, the strain can be started as early as February indoors, and then placed outdoors in May. Mighty Mite cannabis seedss can even be started as late as August and finished outdoors in October. For indoor/outdoor germination to harvest is 90 days.
They can be grown indoors for 24 hours under continuous light. Not recommended for cloning."

Keep an eye on this strain for early sexing. The males can and will drop pollen under 24/7 light.

 

[HemperFi]

is this the Mighty Mite? hxxp://cannabismjseeds.com/mighty-mite-cannabis-seeds.html

says its a auto on there. "They can be grown indoors for 24 hours under continuous light. Not recommended for cloning."

What I thought I bought was "Poison Mighty Mite"

I got them from Kindseeds.com -- didn't say anything about them being autos or femmed. I don't know, but they are growing nicely.

cool link -- thanks
