Hey RIUers! This is a journal of two cuttings I took from my Powerkush, Thursday night(3-11-10). The clones will eventually be grown outdoors.
My goal is to have one successful clone, to be cut into clones itself. Hopefully I can have those cuttings ready to go outside by the first week of June.
If both survive and are healthy, I'll be putting the other one outside as it is, in the first week of May. I'm not sure it'll get that big, tho. I guess I don't really know enough about it's genetics to know if it can bush out, like that.
The mother is a
Dinafem Powerkush I got as a freebie. She's been vegging under my 430 Son Agro, along with three other ladies of different genetics, for 8 weeks now. That grow journal is HERE.
Here's the mother...
When I took my cuttings, I made my cuts at a 45 degree angle, between the 4th and 5th node, immediately dipped them in Clonex, stuck them in rockwool, & set them on an inch thick bed of perlite. The perlite bed is set on a seedling heat mat, and the whole setup(of course) is under a hood.
My lighting is two 4-foot lamps with four 4-foot F40T12 bulbs. Two Warm White, and two Cool White. Not the best spectrum, but sufficient.
This the pics from when I first got them home, the first night.
After these pics were taken, I trimmed the edges of the leaves. My lighting has changed since these pics. I no longer have the small lamp in there. It's been replaced by the other 4-foot lamp. I now have the two 4-foot lamps with my warm and cool F40T12 bulbs.
This was my first time cloning, and when I woke up the next morning and saw this, I thought I killed em'. They dont show you this part in all the videos...
After thinking I killed my cuttings, I posted a thread asking if they were ok. I got some sound advice from CG and fdd telling me that I was doing fine. Before getting the advice I dumbly trimmed a few of the fan leaves off of it.
Another night of letting them alone has proved to be exactly what they needed. They're on their own, and merely using the toothpicks as a leaning post. I have high hopes for both of them pulling through...
I will continue this journal, all the way through the growing and cloning of the plants, and will put up some good pics of the entire summer grow as well...
Here we go
