Ok... I have one new clone (Jack Herer) which I am currently raising to be my new mother plant. She rooted 2 weeks ago and I planted her in soil and have her in a rubbermaid box with 2-26watt cfl's - 100watt equivalent. She is on 24/0 lighting until she is 4 weeks old at which time I will shelf her and change her to 18/6 with the same type of lighting but adding 2 more cfl's. Two days ago I was taking her out of the box and I accidently ripped off one of the top branches....:o I pulled out the Wilson Roots rooting gel and mixed 3 teaspoons into 2 litres of water and fed her half of it. This morning I checked on her and here is what I found. There are 3 new leaves and they aren't small, growing from the branch that had been torn off... I am totally amazed at the rate of growth in such a short period of time with this stuff. Take a look for yourself and tell me what you think.:roll:

Jack Herer is an awesome strain consisting of Northern Lights, Haze and Skunk. Sometimes known as Jock Horror as well. I'v been growing this particular strain for 2 years now and I love it. I am experimenting with 5 plants at the moment and each one was cloned from the same mother and not one of them looks anything like the others. I love science.. lol Anyway, if Jack is harvested at just the right time and cured properly you will have one of the best body stones you've ever experienced. It starts in your toes and works it's way up and the high lasts anywhere from 2 to 4 hours... guaranteed. It a very smooth smoke and tastes quite nice as well. It's normally a very tall, somewhat thin plant ranging from 6 to 8 feet indoors but I have these 5 ladies down to 22 inches for the shortest and 33 inches for the tallest one. They are into their 4th week of flowering under a 600watt hps and are doing very well. Here's a couple pics for you... :mrgreen:

they are lengthy sucker! I can't wait to experience them. So I'm guessing they're mostly indica. Off topic and yes I'm a chick. Where did you get those cute blue buckets?

lol... those cute little blue buckets are actualy nothing more than cheap pails I get at the Dollar store for a buck each. :mrgreen: I buy new ones for each grow. I get 2 per plant and use a screw to make 10 drainage holes in the bottom of the ones I put the plants in. I put the first bucket inside the second one for drainage runoff. Makes it so easy to get rid of the drainage water and the spouts make it easy to pour out too. No fuss, no mess. The smallest plant this time was grown in a bottled water bottle which I just cut the top off and it is also set inside of a blue bucket for drainage. I used the clear water bottle just so I could see exactly what it's root system was doing. It's a cheap little setup that works like a charm.:blsmoke:

lol... yep we are so... we're all just trying to get the biggest bang for the buck I think. I myself am just trying to grow the best weed possible in as little space as possible. I can't do anything about the maturity times but that's ok.... I'm a very patient person.. most of the time...:mrgreen:

-This is interesting to mention that. I once had a plant that had gotten damaged (darn cute deer) and started a strange growing pattern where basically the main cola was one of the lower branches (not THE lowest, like 3rd lowest). anyway, it was a really wierd angle for a plant to try and grow up from... (It actually turned out to be the biggest plant because of it but the stress turned it male). Anyway, it was too heavy and it broke clean off the plant one day and took the whole upper half of my largest plant with it. It was outdoor and sex had not shown yet so I applied some cloning gel to the inside, just a thin layer, and then used an ACE bandage to strap it back on. It ended up healing all the way through in less than a week, but then the injured spot got a fungal infection after I removed the ACE. I scrubbed it with anti-bacterial soap and a tooth-brush because I still pretty new at the whole thing (it was bad seed from a friends bag), but It totally healed up and was by far the largest plant I grew that year... regardless of the fact that all the stress turned it into a male. It actually was strong for a male tho, I made something like 15-20 (it was awhile ago and my memory isnt that sharp) grams of hash and had a several good batches of brownies out of the pounds of leftovers that male became. I never got over the fact that I got that much thc from a male, i wish i would have known more, i would have saved a good female and pollinated... I was still in high school and I didnt know shit compared to now.
-Back on topic, the rooting gel helped with the healing, I think. without it I wouldnt have had that nice hash ball or any delicious snacks :weed:

It's a great idea just to use it as a "booster shot" for your plants while they are young. Does this league allow performance enhancing drugs???

correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the roots and the rest of the plants try to be kinda balanced. and rooting gel encourages root growth. so if I put rooting gel in with the water, it'd make the roots grow, and then the rest of the plant would have a nice boost in growth to even it out, right.

If you want growth of buds, and don't care if it is natural or synthetic then you should look into BAP - 6-Benzylaminopurine. There really isn't much long term data on this synthetic growth hormone for plants though. However it does work and it has been proven that flowers grown with this stuff stay fresher longer.

What hormone`s are you useing at mo ?? In what order & timeing ? Quantities?
If you dont mind me asking ??

Ive used this thread as ref in:
HORMONES Vs Co2 - Hormones cheaper potentially yeild same !
Thanx.....

Right now im not using any hormones but i do plan on getting back to using them as soon as the room is cleared out from the dutchmastrers grow.

Ive read part of your hormone thread but it's gonna take me a while to get back up to speed on much of it,you have lots of information there to digest & i havent spent any time on the hormones in months due to other areas of interest.

The hormone i was using was Indole-3 Butaric Acid,i had some excellent results in "the moose" plant but the results were hard to replicate in other plants using different applications & different strengths of the hormone.

Im getting ready to try out KC Brains KC36 so i might try to replicate the results i had with the moose on the new strain.

Btw,i sould add this,as i get better at growing & controling a grow, along with yeilds, it stands to reason that bud growth & yeild would also get better in my grows,it has in all areas except in comparison to the moose grow,ive yet to grow any colas as large & heavy as those buds were.

There is something to the use of hormones,the hard part is going to be to nail down what hormone does what at each interval of the grow,then to figure out the correct amounts & correct application of the hormones so as to not cause other issues within the plant structure.

I look forward to your contributions......... and maybey join a little team to test some of these hormones at different times.
