ok well they have had a few days to settle in now
and seem to like the move to hydro.
secondary growth has started so hopefully it wont be
too long before I can take some cuts for clones

 

[oldsmoker]

the fogger has done its job and the roots are down in the Dwc
so I've removed it.
they are still under a 125w cfl which will be replaced with a 250w Cmh
this weekend

 

[oldsmoker]

made a few changes today put a 250w cmh in there
I've read some positive things about this bulb so I hope
it was worth the extra hassle of tracking one down

one plant was out growing the rest so I bent the top over
to create a more even canopy

also raised the ec a little and reduced ph to 5.8
on sunday they will go 12/12

hey oldie your plants seems happy

this cant go wrong i think you will end up
with another nice grow

and not so stretchy as my grow lol

indie

 

[oldsmoker]

hi Indie mate :welcome:
well the thought of having to fight with monsters like yours
kind of freaked me out so I took 10 clones 2 from each plant
and put my timer on 12/12 :watchplant:

 

[swiftgt]

looking good man,
keep it up!

 

[420benny]

You have a good plan and grow going on. Best of luck!

OldSmoker, i dont have to tell you how good everything looks but they look fantastically happy.

i read on another post that someone questioned how early you can put in dwc, well with your fogger pretty early and if they come across this thread then they will know.

Swiftgt, 420benny & ssh
thank you for your comments, the fogger is very good for the transition period
from blocks to Dwc, but you can fill up to just below the net pots and the
action of the bubbles bursting on the surface will keep the rockwool moist enough.
the roots just seem to be able to easily absorb nutes from the fog

 

[oldsmoker]

well things are moving on now, no sign of sex as yet
although I have 2 plants that needed super cropping
to keep an even canopy and I suspect these are males
trying to get their soon to come pollen sacks above the girls.

I have changed to canna substra flores now and edged the
ec up to 1.4.

the clones have started to show roots, its just 7 days since
I took the cuts and placed them into jiffys.

 

[oldsmoker]

the clones have enough roots to survive now so I've removed the top
plastic cups to allow them to breathe.

so far I have 2 plants showing female pistils and one looking
very male

 

[oldsmoker]

head count is 3 female and 1 male just one plant left to show sex
all the female clones will be moved into small pots with my standard
mix of 1 part worm castings, 1 part perlite, 1 part vermiculite
this weekend

 

[Super Silver Haze]

still looking good.

as a noob supercroping seems very scary. i would be paranoid i would do too much damage.

 

[oldsmoker]

SSH just roll them between finger and thumb until you feel the cellulose give
and bend them over, first time I did it I was a little apprehensive but
these days I don't even think about it.

well they seem to be slowing down at last, the nodes are getting closer together and I no longer have to move the light up every evening.

I still have them on ec 1.4 ph 5.9 and they seem to be happy on that
for now, I have to admit the male I thought I spotted is in fact female
so that's 4 girls to date.
as soon as the last plant shows sex Ill get a scrog net in there to gain
some more control over them and add some support for them.

here's a pic of the pre flowers and a shot of the canopy to date

 

[smokingjoe]

ok they are up all 5 100% germ rate.
I moved them into individual green houses
and placed them in my mum cab under a 125w cfl

wow oldsmoker your mums are beautiful

 

[smokybear]

A nice grow so far my friend. Good work! They are looking nice and healthy. Definitely keep us posted on your progress. Take care and be safe.

 

[oldsmoker]

thanks smokingjoe & smokybear
this is the time I like best in my grows, the first pistils of spring :hubba:

 

[oldsmoker]

ok the last plant is also a girl, Didn't plan for five girls :holysheep:
so now its time to take some control back

time for the scrog net

 

[umbra]
