I got desperate man, wouldve gon to the dispensiary first if it was my only choice, but not happily. Anyway, I yanked those pathetic afgan clones to day, got a new source. I met with the guy i've been getting all of my knowledge from, (he's an old hippy, been growing for 30yrs!), he's giving me eight oaksterdam clones, four different kinds, tomorrow. He had a magazine that they were in, and i got samples that threw me back into high school highs! Can't wait to post a pic of the clones tomorrow, wish me luck! i aint gonna sleep a wink tonight!

a new place in chino called sbpa, (san bernadino peoples association), they give you a free eight a week! lame clones though, the two the had left. You don't get any powdery mildew or bugs, that's great if you don't. I dip my clones in immunox plus, you can get it at lowe's, never had any bug or mildew problems.
Dumped those clones in the compost today though, wait till you hear this, getting eight clones from oaksterdam tomorrow, four different kinds! tasted a sample today, never felt so sketchy, in a good way.
Taking your advice and i'm gonna throw four of them in the bloom room right away, sog time. gonna wait like three weeks for the other four, (to fill out and clone), either way i have a local, super cheap, and grade "A" clone hook up now! cant wait to post pics tomorrow, and let me know any sog tips, should i wait 1-2 weeks before throwing in flower, nutes?

Nice, so you're going SOG.
What type of soil are you using?
I ask because organic soils usually have enough nutrients in them to provide enough food for plants for the first 3 weeks then after you would want to start adding nutes.
If you're going to sog you would want to lollipop your clones when they are finished with their initial stretching.
What nutrients do you plan to use?

man i think they were all boys! chopped all of the ones in the bloom room, showing lobster claws, and no white hairs, pods galore. Who would do that, clone males? threw the two mothers who havent showed sex yet, in the bloom room, nothing to lose with those. clone the mothers 13 days ago, if theyre females, ill keep em, but my hopes aren't up.

Thanks man
FFOF- and yes it's nice to just water for three weeks.
Initial stretching, do you mean throw them into flower after that? do you mean lollypop because all of the light to be concentrated at the top?
I guess i mean i'm getting eight clones, four different kinds, gonna throw four of em into flower, a week or you after i throw em in soil. the other four i'll let get bulky a few more weeks than the first, lollypop them, (take clones from the bottom cuttings) and either throw them into bloom, or keep them as mothers. A lot to think about, any input is appreciated, (pot sizes, should i tie down as it grows, or grow into a screen?
Using botanicare pro grow and bloom, bat guano throughout, superthrive during veg, and kool bloom during flower when the flowers start to show. Any tips on added nutes, for better yield are appreciated!
Thanks for the feedback terror, always appreciated!

yeah dude, what can i say, cali disepensiaries. $10 each, what can i say, you get what you pay for. shoveled those anyway, gonna pick up some oaksterdam clones tomorrow, pics coming soon!
Hey drella, first problem i see man is ur translanting str8 into big pots. i use the peat pellets, then i got into small square bottomed cups (like dixie cups). theres 2 reasons for this.
#1- smaller pots let the roots develop and get rootbound. i make sure my plants are fully root bound before i transplant, and when i transplant i usually root prune them
#2- square pots are generally deeper and more efficient then round pots. u can fit more per sq/f etc.

thanks man, appreciate the insight, i always transplant straight into the final pot, less stress means less time it needs to recoop, then decide to start growing again. Im also lazy, in my short experience, they bouce back in a day or two, it's just worked for me. i see where your coming from though, every time i transplant i stress, so the least amount of times i do that the better, in my opinion.Hey drella, first problem i see man is ur translanting str8 into big pots. i use the peat pellets, then i got into small square bottomed cups (like dixie cups). theres 2 reasons for this.

here they are, trying something new this time. two are in FFOF, but this time I bought a huge bale or Sungro Sunshine mix, a soiless, peatmoss/perilite, and other things mix. No nutrients added, so i control the nutes. I already had two pots with FFOF in them from the afgan clones that i got from the disepensiary, that i trashed once i got these grad "A" clones. I don't know anything about these, (eg. indica or sativa, yield, nug density, growth rate,) so any feedback is appreciated. Just water and superthrive for the ones in FFOF. And superthrive and Botanicare Pro grow nutes for the clones in the SungroSunshine mix. Four clones weren't showing roots yet, so they'll just be getting superthrive and water till they root!

Ya they do bulge up like that sometimes keep them moist and warm and they should sprout roots in few days.
looks like you got a bunch of new strains, congrats bro!
