Super Lemon Haze in a Phototron

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

High everyone!
Super Lemon Haze is feeling fine, smelling sweet and looking healthy and happy.
She has now been in 12/12 for 2 weeks. Her sex is very obvious. She has beautiful little white pistin thingys. Her thirst has increased substantially.
I contiue to feed her distilled water with Flora Nova 2 teaspoons per gallon. I am holding off with Bloombastic until I see a little bit more bud growth.

With the recent Pineapple express that has made its way to the area dumping heavy warm rain, the humidiy is high and she is lovin it!
With this weather both temp and humidity is easy to control. She is usually at about 75 degrees and 50% Humidity. I have an outside fan on her with two of her larger panels cranked open with a 12 inch ruler. She is growing so fast I have the hanging light all the way to the top of the Phototron now.

I havent had to tie her back too much more the last couple days. She seems to be adjusting quite nicely to her training.
The only issue, not a biggy, is I have little flys around. I posted a picutre here. There hasnt been any harm to her leaves, but let me know if you can identify this bug and if I should be concerned. Thank you and have an awesome day!!

uhh oh, they kinda look like thrips.

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

whatever those bug were, I hope they are gone now.
I sprayed my entire plant with insect spray last night.
She is smelling rather potent these days.

 

[Stoner.Barbie]

she is a pretty girl. the spray probably worked. keep us posted

What did you use for spray?? I use neem personally works not had may problems with bugs but I'm glad you were able to get a pic of those critters as I have them too but was unsure what they were...

 

[fabfun]

i second that opinion and the neem recommendation of rene's

Hey Rene112388 (i like the #s , it has a sci-fi feel to it) So I was told in another thread that these little fuckers are common nats and not a problem. WWWWhhooowww, but under my neurotic stress anxiety I got some Garden Safe Insecticidal Soap and sprayed her thoughrouly the other night. Since then I have only seen one. A way to catch and kill the little fuckers was a bucket of water that I was using to produce extra humidity, 4 drowned in there. I have since removed that bucket because I finally recieved my cute little pink humidifier. I will be adding more pictures here shortly. Peace

 

[Stoner.Barbie]

whew what a relief, always better to be safe than sorry. can't wait to see the new pics and the little pink humidifier!

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

HIgh everyone,

thanks for the feedback, replys and timely help needed.
Things are looking, smelling and feeling real good.
The bugs are gone for the most part. I saw a single one yesterday.

I am still trying to tie and tuck her leaves and branches as she has been growing at an alarming rate. A few tips of leaves have been burned but nothing serious.
I am looking for a different light to hang inside because the one I have now is just too fucking big. I tried to turn it but i dont think its a good idea to be using a wire or such to do that, which is what I would need to do. I have jammed the light up as far as it can go because the upper leaves are getting really close.

It does look as if she might be slowing down in her upward growth. The internodes are getting shorter, thank god, because room is running out. (see she does listen to what i tell her).

I will include pictures of some of my other essential tools here.
I just recieved my cute little pink humidifier and it works like a charm. My humidity the last couple days had dropped down to the low 40's but the humidifier bumped it quickly back up into the 50's.
I will begin to add Bloombastic in the next couple days.
Thanks for checking in I hope you enjoy the pictures.

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

HI,
I am sorry I wanted to add comments to the images but coulnt figure it out this time.
The first picture is my germination light bulb.
The third picture is my humidifier.
The forth picture is my flowering bulb, which is too freaking big!
The fifth image is my watering dip stick plastic tube. This thing is great on checking water levels!
The seventh pictrure is my timer and fan
Ninth picture is the bug spary I used.
11th picture includes the timer and also my air pump.
Last picture is my vegatation light.

Hey amber! GREATTT PLANT!
phototron really brings me backk ahah First thing i ever grew in it was passed down from my father practically the only thing i got from him!
but reallly got me starteddd growing this great herbb, been growing ever sinceee!
since then ive moved on to bigger grows just so i can keep me and a cupple others happy, (very difficult to do with photo tron unless you have cupple systems )
hope you gott some clones from that baby shee looks great!!
keeep it upp! ill
be watchin this thread

 

[Stoner.Barbie]

you are so rocking this grow girl! keep up the good work and yah, get some clones off of that honey.

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

Hey guys, Thanks for the positive feedback, it makes us feel good. I will let Super lemon know you all think shes the bomb.
I have No idea how to clone. I still have 2 seeds left, s owas going to use them, what do you think?

found this on another site
One Becomes Two or More.

If you have a plant you really like you can make copies of it by taking cuttings. If you want to fill a grow space with plants uniform in height and finishing times you can use cuttings. If you just want to increase your stock of plants you can use cuttings. As well as having the same characteristics as the plant it came from a cutting (clone) will have the same genetic age. This means you don`t have to wait a couple of months for the plant to become mature before flowering it. Once rooted you can start flowering at a height to suit you instead. If you grow a cutting for a while on a vegetative light cycle you can then take cuttings from it and start the cycle again.

Taking Cuttings.

You can take cuttings from any part of the plant but some bits root better than others. Growing tips with firm stems are ideal. Use a sterile razor blade to remove a growing tip with about 10 cm of stem. Make the cut at a 45 degree angle half way between two leaf joints (nodes). Immediately place the cutting in p.h balanced water making sure the cut section is under water. Doing this prevents an air bubble forming in the stem which might block fluid uptake later.

Planting Cuttings.

As the cutting will be unable to support much foliage remove all but the top set of leaves. Dip cuttings in hormone rooting gel or powder and insert into your chosen medium so that at least one old leaf joint (node) goes under the surface. Make sure you don`t kink the stem as it gets pushed in. To ensure a perfect fit use a pencil or skewer to make a hole.

Heat and Humidity.

As cuttings have lost most of their ability to process water a humid environment is vital to ensure they don`t dry out. Warm air holds more moisture so aim for a temperature of 80 degrees around your cuttings and try to keep humidity levels at 70% plus. A heated covered germination box or propagator is ideal but you can use clear plastic bags over pots, just use a stick or two inserted in the medium to hold the bag away from the leaves of the cutting.

Oxygen.

Oxygen is important to help cuttings root. Choose a loose growing medium that lets in plenty of air and spray clones daily with shaken p.h balanced water. Ideally hydroponic clones should have their water changed daily if it`s not being moved or aerated.

Light.

Place new cuttings in moderate light such as a north facing window or under fluorescent lamps. Coloured plastic bags placed over propagators make good shades from strong sunlight or HID Lamps. Once well rooted gradually increase light intensities until normal growing levels are reached. Test show that clones root best when lit for only 16 hours a day, this is due to root formation taking place during the dark period. If you want to keep your clones away from darkness however don`t worry they will still root well even under constant light.

Feeding Cuttings.

As a cutting can`t process nutrients until its root cells have formed all you need to give them at first is p.h balanced water. A slightly more acidic mix than normal growing of around 5.2 - 5.8 is supposed to the best for root formation. After about 2 or 3 weeks or when you see the cuttings begin to grow or show roots they will need feeding. Start giving a weak nutrient solution of about 1/4 normal strength and increase it as the cuttings develop.

Rooting Times.

Cuttings should root in 14 to 28 days depending on their level of care and their genetics. Once the roots start to show, or the clones begin to grow start removing any covering for short, gradually increasing periods. After a few days to a week the cuttings will be able to endure life outside their cover or propagator without wilting.

Mother Plants.

Mother plants are grown specifically to take cuttings from. They are normal plants (seed or clone) but their job is to produce as many growing shoots as possible and then have them chopped off. Due to this they require care of a slightly different nature. Nitrogen inhibits root growth so feed mothers after taking cuttings rather than before to give the clones a head start. When you harvest clones from a mother plant finish off by giving it a flat top trim like a hedge to encourage as many new growing tips as possible ready for the next time. Sadly heavy cloning of a mother plant will eventually take its toll on it and the quality of its cuttings, it`s a good idea to introduce new seed stock every few years to avoid problems.

Sexing a Mother.

If you want to grow using cuttings then a good unstressed female to use as a mother is a must. But how do you find a plants sex without causing it stress by flowering it and then reverting it back to vegetative growth? Simple, take a few cuttings from the plant and put them straight into a flowering cycle instead. They are only to tell you the sex of the parent plant so you don`t have to look after them too much.

Seed Vs Cuttings.

Cuttings are particularly great for indoor growing where plants are best kept short, manageable and uniform. Many indoor growers would never bother with the uncertain results you get from growing with seed and wonder why anyone should bother with the hassle of sexing and grading every crop they grow. The fact is though seed grown plants are usually more robust and vigorous than cuttings, if you intend to grow outdoors and let your plants battle with the elements this extra edge can make all the difference.

I've got a SLH on the go at the minute. Smells awesome doesn't she?

Hey Doc, did you get rid of your bugs?

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

Hey Doc, did you get rid of your bugs?

I have only noticed one single fly, so the spray worked well.

I had to take out my flowering bulb from the top of the phototron yesterday because the top colas were just about ready to hit it.
I am going to look for a smaller one but might just forget about it all together. I got some massive colas in in my last grow without it, so I will hope for the best.

Is anyone familiar with a product called Bushmaster by Humboldts Own? I understand that it stops vertical growth in the flowering stage.

I started adding Bloombastic to my Flora Nova and distilled water. Her buds are really starting to pop now..
All I want for x-mas are some huge buds!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fabfun]

im sure since u been such a good girl u will get plenty
why not change the spectrum of some of your t12's
