30 inches from the connies...about two and a half feet...why? you think I should change it?...I was gonna drop everything to the floor in a day or two and start my flowering cyclr agian with the 600...mind you...its a 600 and my temps at the top of the plants are like 80...sohow far is your light from your plants honkey?

gah, i hear you man, maybe it's just the pics that are giving me a bad view of the light. i would search backwards in your post, but how much air are you moving? i guess i'm asking about your efficiency levels, cause i think you could be doing better? hah hah, if that made any sense

I could be doing better...I planned on splitting my whole room before but decided against it due to size....anyway...I have a 150 cfm fan extracing air from my light and then a box fan circin air through the shower area....like we said...could be better and will be soon enough

I transplanted the connies into three gallon pots and dropped my light about two inches....number 4 is happy under 12/12 and the giant clone is starting to show rootbumps...but the small ones arent yet...hmm.

ugh....im frustrated. I have two connies...both seem to be boys...dammit. beyond that I dropped my jar of weed last night on my carpet and now there is cat hair in it. double fuck. anyway...here is the update...I moved the two clones I had under the 600 to flower with number 4....I am gonna grow the connies out for seeds but hopefully they herm and I get to try some weed. one of my other plants is dying....I think I drowned it...oh well....the retard plant is lookin better and the others are doin well. clones are doin fine and a few more are showin root bumps but they big ass stick is still rooting the fastest. oh....and I added another fan to circulate air through the shower area pushin air in on the left side and pullin air out on the right side

yeah unfortunately I have a long haired cat and my weed I dropped is now hash material...damn...oh well...about the stalks...I have fans on my plants 24/7 so they grow strong like bull. dunno if it makes that much diff but it keeps my temps down. anyway I switched everything around last night but the board was down so I couldnt post it...I have my connies, number four, and my two original clones under the 600 at 12/12 now...the others are under the 150 still veggin on 24/0. I have decided I am gonna pollinate the larger sativa I have with the connies which are highly indica dominate and hopefully with the new seeds from that I will be able to find a phenotype I like and clone that...we shall see. here are pics of all the plants when I had them pulled last night and was switching the room setups a little bit.

When I took clones I just took tiny branches off of the very bottom of the plant, stuck the tips in water for about 20 seconds, and then stuck them into some cuttings/seedlings soil that I also planted my seeds in, and watered them (the soil had also been premoistened and prepacked). Just did it today, so Im not sure how well they will root. It looks like yours are doing great though, good job!

I hear people rooting their clones like that alot...but I personally like to watch for rootbumps then roots....so I am in water till I see about a 1/4 inch of root...then to soil...either way will work but I hear about more success with just water....hopefully they all make it for you bro....did you use any rooting hormone? I would recommend it heavily

nah, I don't have any root hormone, sigh, the nursery around here isn't that great. But I will be getting some in the next two weeks. I am just giving this a try since I had extra seeding soil (and it said it was good for cuttings too), and because the GDP needs some better air flow closer to the main stem. They all got watered pretty good, and the soil was already moist, so with dipping them in water, I think they should root up just fine... though I am not sure, we shall see. When I clone my Cinderella the GDP should be ready to let off more clones again, and I will use hormone then (in about two weeks, so I can also have enough time to see if the method I used today worked or not). Hopefully by then I have a good number of seedlings in my tray also, that way I can compare growth between the seedlings and the clones.

I was gonna show you guys earlier what I got goin on now....check it out...five plants in flower...the two indicas are the connies...like I said they are male. the one with four colas in the six inch pot is some sativa seed I had...it's a girl...and the other two are clones I got a month ago....same plant as the 17 other clones I have goin. I am gonna cross the connies and the larger clone in flower for some seeds. should be interesting. I have five plants under my 150 veggin...I tiny fucker...and four others...the retard...two nice ones...and the other gimpy plant I thought wasnt gonna make it but I am getting it to pull through. then like I said...the other 17 clones....fuck....doesnt seem like that many now...but it's gonna be.

yeah, well, for that method you are supposed to use a non see through cup of water, that lets no light into it, and put it somewhere like on a window sill out of the direct light, until it grows some roots. I also split the stem about 1/8 inch up while its in the water, and before it goes into the medium (medium is also nice and moist). Good luck. I wouldn't recommend making a solution of water out of your powder, it could cause odd growth, or just rot it all... check the bottle... lol
