I would love your opinions, guys and gals, on two different issues here - I'll ask as I go along. Appreciate the advice, as always!
The Chronic babies are doing great - aside from 100% germination, all of them appear to be strong, healthy babies thus far. Makes me feel a little better about the cost of the beans! lol Moved them into soil, man they are drinking water fast! Already starting on a second set of leaves.
Attack of the clones! Not really, lol. One still has no roots, I'm thinking it may not take, and that's ok. Four out of five successfully rooted cuttings, tops no less, off of three week old plants - proves to me that the Stinkbud cloner works wonders! I've got pretty decent roots on them now - they look like they might be getting hungry, what to do? Add mild nutes to the water, or spray them? Still debating if I want to plant three or four of them. Basically, wether or no I want to add them to the current vegging ladies, or do four as a grow by themselves - I believe I would have a light available for them.
My Hempy's. I topped the SLH, it's still not doing amazing, but it's ok, so on she goes. The little twin, however - she just isn't thriving. Look how tiny she is still - like a mini weed plant. I've read that the smaller twin doesn't usually make it, I see why. It is still growing - but I don't know that I want to take up a spot on this grow for such a tiny plant. So I might put her down. Could either replace her with a clone, or maybe try the auto seed I got last order - Sweet Deep Grapefruit, I think, without looking - and supposed to be a 60 day plant, start to finish. Still debating.
On to my vegging smorgasboard. They are doing great, amybe too good, lol. Now I am seeing the biggest difference between the CFL's, and the MH light. Under the CFL's, I wouldn't see this size until eight weeks! So - the first question for you guys! They are already about a foot tall, at five and a half weeks! Would you flower at six weeks then? Or still let them go to eight? I don't know - would that just make them harder to flower, penetration wise, or more bud?
My Lemon Skunk clones are doing great! These are the first plants I haven't topped in awhile, so it's interesting to see the difference in how the bud grows. Speaking of clones - I've seen a couple different people on the forums now, saying clones produce less bud, than a plant from seed - true or false?
Lastly - my big girls. I only got the one pic of them tonight - hubby is asleep, and he stashed my camera's battery charger somewhere. But it is here I have my second question. See the plant in the back right corner? The colas on that plant, though the pics don't really show, are two to three times larger, that the other three plants! Now - there are only three things about this plant that were different than the rest, and I want your guys' opinions, on which you think is the reason why - because I would really love to duplicate this, obviously. So! The differences:
1. This plant was bushier than the rest, all through vegging. So genetics, I guess.
2. She was the one directly under the HPS light for the first three weeks of flowering.
3. This plant is the one I took about ten clones off of, when trying out the soil cloner I made - so trimming?
So which of these do you think made her have the biggest colas?
Lastly - smoke report for that Lemon Skunk. Very nice! Burning, it has a mild lemony ganja scent, and a smooth, mild taste - definately different than other strains I've tried. The high is a bit of a creeper. It seems to only take 2 -3 good hits, for everyone who's tried it, to get a great stone. We all agree, it's a nice, mellow, relaxing stone - very pleasant. Doesn't have the same "knock you on your ass" effect as say Train Wreck or Widow, but it's definately a nice high!

1. about ur clones u can do either or...add 1/4 strength nutes in cloner and keep them there...u can foliar feed until roots get stronger...hell u could just plant now and throw them all in to flower since they wont take up alot space right now and get like 1.5-2 oz off each kinda lie a mini 4 plant sea of green
2 i wish i could help with the hempys but ive never run them although ive seen great results
3.it all depends on your set up fpr me personally any thing over two feet going into flower will not get enough light when full grown under my 600..so i tend to add them to flower at about 1.5 feet tall to ensure good light penatration...i have a rhino with side branches just as fat if not fatter than my top buds, when i look into my plant there is always lihgt bouncing off of the inside so i guess if u let her go longer just make sure to thin her out a bit so light can get in everywhere
4 ive heard this b4 and i think its because clones dont branch out to the same extent that plants from seed do..atleast without a fair bit of coaxing but ive had super branchy clones it just depends how u whup them into shape but i dont have to tell u about bondage...lol..seems lie u got it figured out just fine
5 as far as the big bud plant u got i would say its a combination of all three factors...great genetics...great light saturation...which also has to do with u thinning her out for clones...some selective pruning is great for marijuana..just dont do it like these dudes on here that rip off all there fan leaves....uuuuugh that hurts so bad
goood luck gurly gurl im pullin for u

So - i've decided, I'm gonna kill the tiny twin. Try and transplant the SLH. And do a bit of (shudders violently) *gasp* trimming, to my vegging set. And, I just planted the young clones into the dirt - I like the idea of a mini grow. But I will let them veg for a minute, first.

Ok! Work is finished. Killed the small twin - root system was pathetic. Not very great on the SLH, either, for that matter. prognosis - stunted growth due to overwatering. I was watering them once a day, then once every other day - and it was too much. Anyway - got her in some soil now, she should take off. Probably have a bit of stress, as i tore some of the roots.
As for the trimming - I made a discovery, that makes me feel like a complete newb again. Every last one of my girls actually had six colas. Since I've been doing it, I've topped for six every damn time!
Just never noticed, because the bottom two never really grew up to match the top four! I cut the bottom two off of each of them, along with a few leaves. I think this is why my buds never seemed to gain the size I thought they should. The more colas you have, the smaller they are. So - guess I answered the question about my Lemon Skunk. I cut the bottom ones off of it when trying to take clones. You were right, Dave!

Seed vs clone, My opinion is seeds have a vigor unlike clones when they start out but the overall size of the finished plant would be the same if you trimmed of the lower branches. The more lower you remove the larger the rest becomes.
If you want height, top the ends of the side branches then a few weeks later remove them. I grew stalks four feet long that way.

So Doe, can you revise your topping pic for me please, or should I just cut one more node back down the stem to compensate...?? Cut above number 2 instead of number three???Ok! Work is finished.

Wow, Lots of things happening here. Lemon SKunk sounds great right about now. Definitely very unique smoke..... Jealous.....
How many lights in the flower room now? I saw a 3rd hood? Sounds like you never stop moving over there.. wish I had that ambition........

Thanks, wonder! There are four 600w in that room, and the last two are getting fired up tonight - putting the vegging group in to flower. I'll snap a pic when they are going.
