My restart from seed

And just for grins....One of the big girls from my "Salvage Grow" as of today!

Almost, but not quite done!!!

I bet they're putting on more weight since you're being more patient too. If you were less patient and chopped a week ago you would have lost some of that goodness.


(You know you only have to resize for the 2 meg file size limit here, not for dimensions, right? You can upload 2000x2000 pixel sized pictures (or bigger) as long as the file size is under 2 meg. The forum should display them so they look good on the page and you can click on the pictures to see them full size. At least on my screen. )

No, I didn't realize that, Thanx!

I guess from posting to some other sites I got in the habit of shrinking to avoid issues.

I'll let em grow a little and see...lol

Yeah, I have more flexibility here to install what I want for a better user experience.

Ok, here I am.....another weekend and my big girls are still not ready to chop!!!

I know that these big ladies will be worth waiting for so I am trying to fill my time with other gardening activities.

I have been keeping an eye on my clips, which are now clones, I guess?

4 clones from the larger plant, 2 from the smaller...

Once again, I had 100% success rate with my clippings...all have sprouted roots and all have new green growth on top!

The 2 closest are the ones being kept.

I don't think I need more time to decide how to proceed with my Mother quest....lol When I look at the larger of the two young females, I envision a crowded, tangled grow with plants reaching or exceeding the max penetrating power of my lights...similar to my last 2 attempts..(Which are getting a little better!). When I look at the smaller of the two I can see a neater, more organized, more uniform, more manageable grow....

Side by side?? And the winner is....the petite one!

Soooooo, today I am planning to unplug my cloner....pull & trash the 4 clones from the larger plant. Then move the two clones, from the smaller plant, to a home made DWC bucket. I am thinking I will keep them under the T5 for maybe another week or two, to let them gain some size before hanging one of my 357 Magnums over them.

These are the keepers that will go to a DWC bucket.

The two recently flowered females I never intended to let them finish, and with the difference in size, lighting them both equally could be a challenge. But the smaller of the two is so damn cute I don't want to kill her!

Pretty little flowers

The larger plant will go in the trash today, while the smaller plant will go into it's own DWC bucket and will remain under one of my 357 Magmuns, on 12/12.

This single plant grow will be my son's responsibility to finish...his first ever attempt at growing....with me guiding and teaching him what little I know..... He has been helping me in my garden since going through a divorce and moving back home to rebuild....

Maybe this will add to his skill-set as well as his happiness??? LOL

Always.....Happy!

I'd skip the T5, no need to baby the plants in this case.

Your son is welcome here too!

[Happyweedz]

Well....I just finished making their new home for them and putting them to bed....lol. The cloner has been cleaned and packed away for another couple of months.

I can easily swap out the T5 for a Magnum after lights come on in the morning.

The plant they were clipped from is in a tub of her own, with fresh nutes, under a Magnum, set for 12/12. I think one of my CLW 200s will be good for the single plant, once the Aeroflo is finished.

And yes, I continue to watch and wait......lol

Ok, I packed away the T5 today and hung a 357 Magnum over my two little clones, in Veg mode....so now they are basking in the blue light....

It will be interesting to track their growth and development....

[GrowTutor]

I'm sure they'll be happier than they would be under a fluorescent light...

Not much going on with my two little clones...but it has been less than a week. Some roots have started to poke out of the pot, but not enough to let them take off yet.

I was looking at the female they were clipped from earlier today and noticed how compact she still is...not a lot of distance between the flower sites!! Maybe I picked a good one.... Some of the leaves are showing spots so we drained the res and refilled with fresh nutes. We will see how she looks in a couple days.
