Quick little update here. Transplanted the little plants into 4-gallon buckets. Had to modify my set-up because I was lacking space. Probably going to need more lights or will put some outside when it gets warmer. Also took more clones today. You can see them in the bottom right of the third picture. They are planted in soil this time instead of the traditional rockwool. Happy growing!eace:

Mental, Hey Bro. So you are still using the powder rooting hormone, I am glad to see it is still available. I use to use it many years ago( in the 80's).Everything now is gel, but I suppose you pick it up in the local gardening shops. I had very good results with it as well the gel. Glad it is all going well for you.

 

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

Just picked up some more powder today since you mention it. How long does that stuff last after opening? I was using a year old bottle up until today. Wow, back in the 80's huh? Quite some time ago I must say! Thanks for the kind words uno. But now I must get going to a buddies house. G'night.

LOL...Yeah Chubby Chasing is a good thing right now.....

Mental, I believe if you keep it covered and spoon out what you need, never putting what you dipped your clone into, it will last years.

April 5

Changed the layout of the box yet again. It's getting pretty stuffed in there!

So far, three clones have shown roots and 2 are already planted and you can see them in some of the pictures. Took about 5 or 6 clones yesterday. Took a couple top shoots and the rest from inside the plant. Taking the top shoots as clones really helps to open parts of the plant up and I am already noticing 2 more shoots starting to reach for the light in some spots. So I will probably eventually cut much more main top shoots as clones in the future, not only because it opens the plant up, but because they probably serve as to be a more vigorous clone than the smaller ones. But, they might end up growing the same as all the rest, but I'll be keeping my eye on the clones that were top shoots and compare to the ones taken from inside the bush.

Temperatures are pretty stable in the box, sitting around 21-24 degrees C while humidity stays around 54-58%.

I like to water my bigger plants every day or every other day and I give them about 500 ml or so.

I've got 7 CFL bulbs running at the moment. Three of the bulbs are more orangish light and the rest give off white light. I'm probably going to purchase more white light bulbs because I believe they give off a better spectrum than the orangish light bulbs. My bulbs are also very old and quite used, so they are probably not as bright as they were when I first got them, so it would help my plants if I got some fresh new lights as well. I'm running 207 watts of lights 24/7.

I'm just chilling here, watching the Mr.Green growing tutorial series on youtube. Very entertaining videos and I've watched the videos at least 10 times, haha. Happy growing all!

Looking very GREEN there Mental... They are still hella Bushy... very nice indeed

 

[thedonofchronic]

awesome
how many lumens approx total?

 

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

Hey don,
Going by the lumen ratings on the boxes, I should be putting out approximately 12 thousand lumens with what I got. But that count is probably less due to some of my bulbs becoming worn out.

Three more clones have rooted. This is probably where I'll be transplanting quite often as they are all starting to come through. Probably every two days I'll be transplanting.

Temperatures are still very stable. Watered all the plants. I think my smaller White Berry likes to have an extra big drink. Her soil becomes rock hard if it dries and I can feel good vibes from her when she gets enough water:ccc: .

Looks real nice, MP. Love those clones.. looks like you have your system humming along nicely!

Cheers,

 

[Locked]

Nice job Mental... I hope I can eventually clone even half as well as you...You hve a hell of a garden going on there....very nice

 

[swiftgt]

yep looks good mental, clones are comming on nicley!
so how many are you planning to take?

 

[unogrowdude]

Mental, Looks as if your grow box is gettihg pretty big, how big is she now? Do you think you'll keep any clones inside and try? You've got a nice touch on the cloning. Later Bro.

Thanks swift, I'll be taking quite a few more clones, so I can't give any exact number. I have some friends who want a bunch for this summer so I'll be taking a lot more! I'm going to use the small plants in the buckets as mother plants as well if of course they end up being the desired sex.

Hey uno. My biggest lady is roughly 2 feet tall and a foot and a half across I think. The smaller lady is about the same height and almost a foot across. I'm thinking about keeping a couple clones inside and flowering them in a seperate box. I'll keep them small and grow a nice single cola on each of them. This way I'll finally get some White Berry bud to smoke and see how it is!

April 8

Bunch of pictures this time... Was a little camera happy today, eheh. As you can see on some of my clones, there is some yellowing. I believe this is mostly attributed to their longer-than-usual rooting time, about 3 weeks because of the colder temperatures. So they probably used up all their stored nutrients and were starting to get a little hungry. From now on, I shouldn't see any more yellowing, well, hopefully .

Decided to take another picture of what I get prepared before taking clones. One cup to soak the rockwool cube, another to dip the stem into, siccors and rooting powder. My spray bottle and humidity dome are just outside the picture.

Happy growing!!

beautiful man

 

[swiftgt]
