It's Been about 20 Years Since Last Grow

A couple more pics of the dome. It's about 9.5" tall.

Couldn't take the almost daily trimmings on this Mendo. She got a haircut tonight before bedtime.

I was gonna wait until day 21, something I read somewhere. But, the guy I got the clone from stated he takes all lower branches prior to putting into flower. I still could've taken more, but I'll give it a few days.

Something strange happened. I believe one of my "sick" plants went into flower while on 18/6 light schedule. I went looking for an explanation and got everything from "that's impossible" to "stress induced". Obviously it's not impossible, and the plant was definitely stressed. So, stress induced it is. Crazy! I couldn't believe it at first. Pics attached.

I went ahead and just moved it into my flowering tent. Not sure of what kind of yield I'll get, if any, but nothing to lose at this point. I did pull a cutting from it with some healthy growth that hasnt rooted yet. If space become necessary a d no major change, I'll just toss it. Although it does have some serious root growth finally starting.

Update on the other strains...

So not to be confusing, I'll break them up into separate post.

Here's the Mendo as of today. It's starting to change into flowers/bud - FINALLY!

Here is the TKBI (tangerine Kush Billy Idol - I think I put Bubba Kush in an earlier post). Continued new growth and thickening stems and roots. Also showing pistols with antennas.

Here is the Critical Mango, the 1:1 CDB strain.

This is the Power Plant. Probably tied for doing the best, along with the Critical Mango. Only concern is some browning of the root system, not slimy though. It continues to grow new white roots. I've been told it's fine. I've been told its the start of root rot. I upped the air/oxygen input and have Hydroguard on order.

The Cinderella 99, first seed. Doing well, just a slower grower than the others. About an Inch shorter.

 

[Caw]

The Mendo clone. Growing just like its mother. Root system is taking off...

 

[Caw]

This is the second seed of Cinderella 99.

After doing my nute change I have had a couple scares with my Critical Mango. The evening after the change the plant started to droop on top. I looked underneath and there was white foam in the reservoir. So, I switched it to an empty bucket - the SW went I to the flower tent. It perked up some by morning. Before heading up to bed last night I had the same thing happening, droopy leaves on top, but worse. So, I went ahead and did a complete reservoir cleaning and change. This morning I woke up to a healthy looking, perky plant again.

I also changed my air pumps. I moved the 50w from the flower tent, supplying just 3 buckets to the veg tent with 5 buckets. The 32w went to the flower tent and I shut off 3 ports. I also changed out some air stones, no more Wallyworld bar stones.

Now just waiting on my Hydroguard from Amazon, which is a couple stops away.

Also wanted to share the results of the FIM'd cutting - **** I Missed! It actually was a "mistake" that works! At this point I can only see 4 new shoots/stems from 1 cutting, but it's still early. Supposedly you can get as many as 8, which is too many for my space. I'll be happy with just the 4.

Update on grow...
Here's the Mendo. Root system is out of control! It's in the 4th week of flower now. I believe starting to slow down though since it's starting to truly flower.

Pics are from today.

The TKBI is doing much better now. I'm glad I didnt scrap it. Lots of new upper and lower growth going on. And starting to bud a week earlier than the Mendo. I'm excited about this one.

 

[Caw]

The SW isn't doing as great. Although, lots of new root growth starting to pop out.

 

[Caw]

The Mendo clone is acting like its momma. Crazy new root growth happening. But slower upper growth - thank goodness.

 

[Caw]

The Power Plant continues to do very well. The FIM'd process is working out too.

 

[Caw]

Here's the Cinderella 99 - 1st seed. It's also doing very well. Busting with new root growth.

 

[Caw]

Here's the Cinderella 99 - seed 2. Root growth is starting to take off.

 

[Caw]

And my trouble girl, the Critical Mango. She had/has the start of root rot I believe. However, after adding Hydroguard a new bunch of white hairs have started. Today, she seemed as though she was a healthy plant again. Waiting on some Great White and EWC to make some tea. That will hopefully take care of any dead matter and get the new growth protected. The only issue is that the ingredients wont be here until Friday then brew for two days. So, the earliest day to start is Sunday, which happens to be the next nute change.
