It's the clones I got. Plain and simple. They were in 4 inch rockwool cubes all rooted. I had to cut off about 70% of every plants root mass to get them in my netcups. Then it was a matter of just keeping them alive to make it into the tubes. This is why I am going to run from seed from now on. I will grow lovely little healthy plants that will be just the right size for my setup.
I could just go back to the co-op I buought clones for all my good grows... but paying $150 for 10 plants 90 miles away isn't optimal to me. I'd rather be somewhat self sufficient with plants. Plus when I go there I am limited to the strains they have in stock at the time.
I really think the new year will bring good things for my closet. I should be pulling 20+ oz each time. I'm hoping for 10 this round, and that's most likely a big stretch. Probably more like 6. sigh.
At least I'll have 4 strains, 2 of which I've never smoked (herijuana, dog).
When I get back from holiday I'll run one more round of clones (from a different source) while my phycho killers are growing up. It's gonna be a breeders boutique grow! Coming March 2012. Fuck the mayans. I'm keeping civilization alive with good mj genetics, lol.
EDIT: THIS is what it Should look like:
