Keep on keeping on...with pictures. ;)

Are you still leaning towards the smaller one or do you think the larger/fuller one will produce more?

The petioles are looking a bit purple-y, are you sure they're getting enough P or was that some fixed problem from before?

Well the smaller of the two has grown to being slightly bigger that her sister. Last evening, before lights out, I set up another DWC bucket...so now they each in their own bucket..with fresh nutes....side by side, sharing the 357 Magnum. The AK I have in flower also got moved to a bucket with fresh nutes.

Hopefully post pics later today....

When do you start counting the days on clones? My two little girls have been in the net pots for 25 days...but it took them over a week or so to drop roots.

When moving them to the individual buckets I kept them on the same side of the pics...as you can tell by the blemished leaf...that has been there a while.

Here they are, side by side...I think the one on the left is passing her big sister??

IMO the one that used to be the smaller, on the left, has caught up and is a little bushier than her sister to the right...it is still early. I plan to top & FIM....I want to be able to cut 20+ plus clippings, when I clip.

Counting days at the beginning is just for informational purposes, to learn about your genetics. You can journal the data so you know that it takes X days to root cuttings, and X days in veg to get X tall and X days in flower to get X clear/cloudy/amber trichomes.

Once you get everything dialed in for your genetics then the calendar becomes more useful. If you *know* that it takes 2 weeks to root and .5-12 weeks in veg (depending on grow styles) then you know how far before harvest you need to take more cuttings for the next round. If you know that 8 weeks after flipping that you'll have the right kind of trichomes you want then you know to start checking a day or two before or you can just chop on a schedule because you know what they'll look like from prior grows.

It's all about consistency and that's why you want clones. :thumbup:

Well between two unwelcome snow storms and a bout with the flu it has been a while...

The future mothers are doing much better and growing nicely since getting the new calibration solutions.

Just a couple of pics...getting ready to do some topping to get more shoots....

How much of what kind of food are they getting now? Happy roots?

Glad you're feeling better!

I have them on a modified Lucas Formula, using GH Flora nutes. I am doing 1:2...and at around 7/14 it puts my ppm 850-900....which they seem to be liking.

The girls are still doing great! They each basically fill up the top of the 5 gal bucket...but they are staying relatively short & bushy!

I may look to take a batch of clones in a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, I have started a few Dieselrellas...Some cracked but never got the little tail & some did. The ones that grew the tails are now in Rockwool cubes. So again, time will tell...lol

The twin girls are still just cruising along! They are so close to being twins! Check out the pics..they are about as equal as can be...both staying healthy.

I am really liking the physical characteristics of these girls...they are staying short and full!

I'm still thinking a couple weeks before I can take enough clippings to fire up my cloner.
