Ya hit that 7gal and she's gonna blow up fast.

It's going to kick out a lot of growth below for clones. The more you open it up and spread it out the clones will pop all over.

I puffed on some CJ last night. Wicked potent stuff. Not a big yielding plant but damn it's fire on a stick.

Can't wait! I'll be practicing taking clones, gonna be a good time. With her growth rate it won't take her long to fill out the flower tent. We love fire sticks!

I got CJ plant 2&3 bagged up.. 7.4 and 7.8oz. I'll take it and was kinda surprised. Not a big harvest but more than expected so far. #1 is still drying but will prob be close to the others. Not big buds but heavy in weight and solid.

Bagged up the Blue Moon Rocks as well. 13.4oz for two plants. I'll take that too. I didn't expect much from them with the flipping before revegged but they popped out some big old buds. No doubt in my mind I can do much better with a normal run of these. I've got clones cooking so just a matter of time.

Those are some great numbers, I'm excited to see how they do at THE BLOOM OASIS!

Hey bud, fwiw cloning from healthy vigorous growing plants they'll generally root fairly quickly assuming environment is good.

Try cloning when it's not criticaly important, wait to wk 2/3 after flipping, you know that stage after flip when they're really starting to fill out, that's a good time to clone for reliable rooting.

Idk but I suspect there's lots of growth hormones or something, idk the science it might just simply be the vigorous growth phase that's responsible, regardless it's a good time to try it.

Good luck

Good advice. Clones taken in early flower are typically pretty fast to root, will regenerate fast, and there will be plenty of them. I think once he sees how easy cloning is the flowering clones will become a new tool..

Appreciate the tip, I'll be sure to take some cuts at that time as well.

Flowering clones can also buy you time and save work and expense when the outcome is uncertain, like pheno hunting for example.

I don't want to be looking after 15/20 vigorous growing clones when i know most of them will end up in the bin.

Cloned taken wk 4/5 take long enough to re veg that the mums have flowered and dried, tested around the time the flower clones are really re vegging, it's a effective labour saving method the clones are doing nothing for most of the time.

There's other benefits to flower clones, imo the overall growth style and shape make them well suited to being short mums, then for flowering...well you just need to look @Fatjoe crops they're top drawer!

The Bloom Oasis
Day 138
Flower Day 66/67

In conclusion, this grow has been a real success, and I’m thrilled with the results. The small sample harvested on day 63 already blew my "tester" away! Confirming what I’ve learned about trusting my own judgment when it comes to harvest time. While the trichomes offered a clue, I decided the plants looked ready to peak and pulled them at what felt like the right moment. Harvest time can be controversial, but as I’ve said before, the key is reading your plants and finding your own rhythm. Thanks to everyone who followed along, with a special shout-out to @shnkrmn tips that made a big impact with BOO. I’ve gained valuable experience, and I’ll definitely be refining my methods moving forward. Here’s to another successful grow, and onward to the next one!

Awesome grow! I've been away for a bit so good to see it went really well!

Welcome back! Thanks, it was a great 1st with this setup. Hope to continue to improve and expand on the methods applied, stay tuned!

I plan on leaving no stone unturned! Great observation on the 'flowered clones' I love experimenting and taking notes, I will be sure to share as much as possible for the community.

100% on board with all this mentioned above. Your thinking is somehow linked to mine..lol

That rotation system that works for you. That's what I try to copy. I want them close to ready when I am harvesting their mama. So I always shoot for that 21day mark in flower. Gives me roughly 6-8wks to root and reveg. Sometimes they aren't ready so I just sit back n enjoy harvest for a while. It'll grow.

A lot of your posting gave me encouragement when I first returned to all this. Took what I needed n made it work for me..lol. Ya fucking amaze me with them grows you do.

Thanks bud I appreciate you saying, you've made my day!!

I've started new seeds (20) 3wks ago I'm growing them under 12-12 again.

They've been in 12-12 for 2 weeks today.

After sexing i might try 10-14hrs depending how many females I have alternatively it'll be 11-13.
I'm also planning on making a cross with exo and blockbuster Imo they're made for each other, it's in my diary and other stuff thread.

Have a nice weekend folk's

Sounds like another big round of weed. I tried that 10/14 gig. Super slow, I gave up on it 3 wks in. All the plants did was continue vegging. Maybe if Ida stuck with it it would a worked out but I just felt like I was getting nowhere.

So where is the diary and other stuff thread? Your postings are many but I can't seem to find a journal.

Transplant Day

We’ve officially arrived, folks! The Bloom Oasis is excited to welcome our newest guest, 'Cap Junky.' For this stay we’re showcasing our latest and most powerful light engine, the HLG ELITE 360. This thing is a powerhouse! While I’d love to throw out some cool metaphors to highlight its performance, I’d rather just show you what it can do. I’m absolutely in love with the air pots—the root health is unmatched. I also believe the Tribus really shines in coco, with noticeable improvements after each use. After a few days to shake off the transplant shock, we will start training under the first net. Wow! We are here already let's gooooo baby!

Nice looking roots and plant. Really gonna expand now. Nice lamp. All set now. Bring on the green..lol

The roots look crazy! Im curious to see if Cap's Junky lives up to the hype. Lots of growers on the bean basement in love with the Cap
