actually its an electrode that stimulates root growth and microbial life through magnetic fluctuations alternating poles based on the lunar cycle.

I have it on a timer that I've hooked up to a light meter on my roof to judge the stages of the lunar cycle

entirely feasible:D

no but really you could do something like that with a small solar panel(im talking calculator size), just using the light in the room or outside from the sun in fact that kinda sounds like an interesting idea.

Switched to HPS Querkle in back right is looking a little light green.. think after this next watering I will run another AACT.. will add a lot of Hi-P Guano to it and brew for at least 48 hours.. maybe 72

Looking for a few larger pots to fit now that I only have 3 plants.. but tough to find ones with drip trays that will fit nicely into this snug 2 x 2 space...

transplanted to some bigger pots.. 2 x 1600 and a new fabric air pot.

It'll be good to see them run side by side..

I put the smaller of the Querkle's into the airpot.. sort of a side-by-side however the plastic pots I have are quite a bit smaller so it won't be a completely fair equation but I did choose the smaller of the two Querkles and it was 3-4 days behind on showing first signs of sex.. hopefully that helps balance the odds a bit. Of course they are not clones either so genetics could also win out.

We shall see...

Too lazy to go back down and take a pic.. maybe I will later

Transplanted:

Here are the girls in their new outfits.. one has got on a lovely new roots fabric air pot... Querkle 1

The back left is the other Querkle

Back right is the Ak47 X Blockhead

keeping them that short for any particular reason? you should look into some heavy sativa's since you have more vertical space than sq footage. looking grat though verry soon, they have what 5-6 weeks to go?

I didn't veg them for very long.. wanted to sex my 5 plants that I had so I could up pot them.. probably was a little hasty and flipped them too soon.


Should I raise the light to encourage upwards growth? Querkle is indica dominant so I don't think it will get too large...

I'm not even sure about AK-47 x Blockhead as blockhead is indica dominant and ak-47 sativa...


Unfortunately I don't have a lot of head room either.. my basement is about 5 foot ten so I had to get a low tent it's 5'3"

dont get me wrong, they look great and should still give you some nice colas, just curious as to why you flowered them so early is all. did you take any cuttings?

No, I'll likely take some cuts late into flower.. I don't have any room to put them at the moment.. (she gets the rest of the house.. I get 10 x 10 room in the dank low basement :D)

I've revegged clones from flowering plants before....

Do you think I should look into lollipoping em at some point?

as far as lollypopping i dont think it has any benifits for you...my 2¢

LST would have been a better iption a week or so ago but now i say let er ride till she is done.

so nice, you said it twice.. 2 hours later ?? :D

BTW: They are pretty small plants.. do you think I should take cuttings now or wait until a few weeks when they have grown a bit more..

I know you can take cuttings during flower and force them back into veg.... do you know if it matters how far into flowering they are?

I wouldn't think that it would.. either way you are forcing the gene expression back to a veg state..

the sooner the better with re vegging, it takes them longer to root and longer to revert back to veg. it dosent matter how far along they are but the further along the more crazy branching and tops you will get.

The number one benefit of lollypopping for me is that it makes it much easier to water and provides you with good clones.

yes it has its place but Ottawa's plants are small and removing bud sites just dosent seem like the best option in my opinion. once he reveges his clone he will probabaly want to lollypop as reveg plants tent to be verry bushy with lots of small popcorn undergrowth,
