Do you remember the cuttings I took to try my hand at cloning, growing in soil and to create a mother? Take a look... :) I think they're going well, I only want to keep two of these but I've become attached to them all ha ha. The ones I don't need, I think I'll veg out in another tent and maybe flower them, too, or experiment on them. I figure I've got a few weeks up my sleeve before space is going to become an issue and as a mother I want to try and keep them small, anyway.

I'm really enjoying my new found green-thumb. I've been smoking weed for over 20 years and apart from the odd bagseed in a dirt pot, that never made it to flower, prohibition [and other factors] mean I've never followed through with trying to grow. I've come close a few times, started researching what I need and then something always happens and the grow doesn't. I can, now, spend ages tending to my little grow, taking measurements, adjusting stuff and just watching it grow and trying to improve it. It's relaxing, rewarding and I encourage everyone who has the chance to grow, but hasn't, to do so. I can't wait to smoke it :)

It's cool.

Looking nice there chained .... seems like ya got the cloning thing covered now too
I agree with you bro ... it is a great hobby and very rewarding ... wait til you venture to making BHO, bubble hash, edibles and topicals always something new and exciting to try ;-)
Btw i got bho and bubble hash from LH and each smokes differently and will give you a different effect ... just saying dude hah ;-) think about it ajd start reading about it if ya havent already done so :-)

Thanks brother, yeah they've taken to the soil quite well and I'm feeling confident I'll be able to keep the strain alive. The two all the way to the right are from the plant that is growing flowers out of fan leaves, the one at the top doesn't look great but I'll keep the one in the bottom right; I'd like to see if it's a genetic thing I can reproduce :) The other six are all from the best of the three plants and any one of them will be okay I think, though the clippings taken from lower down are far ahead in root development.

Dude, I am so looking forward to having enough weed on hand to make hash and extracts. I'm going to try every method I can, perhaps you can recommend some bubble bags? I'm also going to try BHO, for sure. Fingers crossed I can ikeep everything going well... and also that I don't mess up the dry/cure

For your first bags, I'd say get something exonomical, yet, with good reviews knowing it'll last at least a few runs before you master the technique and decide to invest in some better made and more expensive ones. I got mine from amazon ..... cheap but lasted me this far (ran at least 6 batches and still good) i think its made by ipower

Did leaving in the MH reduce the stretch compared to other grows?

I left mine in now 5 days after switching lights...just wondering if it really works or not?

I can't answer, exactly - this is my first grow. It did something regarding slowing the stretch, though, as when I swapped to the HPS the stretch sped up again. It was very noticeable and I started to run out of room. That said the fan leaves and flower sites were primed for the HPS and I wanted to feed them.

I will leave the MH in a little longer during my next grow

Just a small photo update. Everything still seems to be moving along nicely. I recently hacked a shopping bag worth of dead and dying growth from underneath and it looks great down there now. The photos aren't the best, I took them before the lights came on today and didn't notice the focus until I moved the pictures on to the computer.

A canopy shot, a shot of an average top/branch coming up... and one of one of the mutants. :)

Thanks Dr, yes, it's moving along well. They're drinking 10% of the water and nutrients daily, though it's getting warm in there and it's going to evap a lot of water. Within an hour before the lights waking up is when I top up the res, and I take the temp too. It's been up around 27C at times so I'm actually freezing RO water and bringing the temp down as I top up and freshen everything up, so that when the lights do kick on and feeding starts it's nice and cool. Since doing that I believe they're taking in more nutrients daily, or at least more consistently... or the plants are just growing and need it :) Any way, the heat doesn't seem to be causing an issue right now.

Oh man, my hands smell fucking beautiful if i tuck any leaves back. I've never in my life smelt anything like it... The smallest amount of resin on my fingers... If even a hint of that carries through to the end product this is going to taste unbelievable

I want to leave the doors open and let that lime scent fill my house!

I'm going to post pictures tomorrow when I change the rez, and I'd really like to keep the photos to once weekly so the progress shows... But I took this today, when I put it on the PC and looked at it I just had to post. Keep in mind I'm a first timer, proud daddy, hah!


Just a spoon full of sugar, helps the medicine go down...

Thanks Flavor, I'm very happy with the result so far and I can't wait to try it. :D Another first timer? Have you got a grow in the works, too, mate?
Yeah, I have two girls in a tent right now. White Widow and Ice from Nirvana. I am blown away by the growth of them so far and I have about a month left in flower. Just popped a few more beans this weekend to go for round 2.

Likewise, I'm thrilled at the growth, it's more than I expected! I have no idea what to expect with the end yield

Are they the same seeds, or something new? I plan to grow some clones next but I have to say, I really want to try and grow more varieties. I think I'm going to need another tent... ;)

They are different seeds. I couldn't resist playing with something new and being able to have a bit a variety. I am thinking of putting a journal together once the seedlings hit day 7 sometime next week.

I will be watching to see how the rest of the grow goes and how the end yield turns out. :weed:

I'm going to have to do the same, I want to maybe grow a heavy indica. Perhaps run 2 clones from this Lemon Haze and two seeds of other varieties that can get in sync with the veg/flower times. You should start a grow journal, mate, even if nobody reads it I'm enjoying keeping track with photos, etc. And, due to having a journal, I've been given some super advice, too.

Thanks, stick around!

Word on having a journal and getting great advice. Look for first post by the end of the week when things settle down with work. Right now I have two 50/50 hybrids finishing flower. The next seeds fall on the extremes of indica heavy and sativa heavy. These will be the subject of the journal.
