Hey S - is that 8" diameter? Ok so your water level is up quite high, good to know how your doing it. Did you sit the rockwool high in the net pot or deep into the hydroton? Just wondering cause most info says to have a decent amount of root length out of the water to just absorb the oxygen, seems your staying a little higher. Thanks S

Yeah, 8 inch diameter. Pretty large pot I know, but I've had problems with my plants falling over in smaller pots in the past due to so much weight from the colas.

as for placing my clones here's how I do it. First notice the pic I added. I let the clones roots get long enough that I can feed some of them through the bottom of the pot. then I fill it in a couple of inches with hydroton, place the plant on top of that, and then fill in the rest of the way with hydroton The remainig roots will sit here as well, but will eventually find the water within 2 or 3 days). I don't want my rockwool cube soaking up water any longer. If it does, you can have a problem with molding of the rock wool, which can very easily transfer to the stem!!!

That's how I do it. Hope this helps. As always, feel free to ask anything anytime. I'm happy to help as I can... :-)

PS EDIT: Notice the pot that I am putting the clone in is a small one. That's all i have at the moment, but needed to get this clone transplanted asap. I will move her to a big pot as soon as my local store gets more in...

PPS EDIT: I added another pic showing my root growth in one of the larger pots. :-)

Well, it looks like I'm gonna have to build one more of my 5 gallon reservoirs. I have another clone that needs to be transplanted, so I'm going to make one more of them. I don't really mind though... They're fun to build and easy, and they work really well until I get them in to a big res. I need to take 3 clones tonight, and the one clone is in my cloning cooler. So I have to get it out of there to get my new clones in... I'll take a pic or two of my clones in there new res's after I'm done tonight. I'll also be updated the thread with new pics of my babies!!! They're looking delicious....yeah, that's a good word, DELICIOUS! :-)

Lots of work for tonight. Build the res, transfer the clone over. Cut 3 new clones. Top off 5 reservoirs in the flower room. And a nute change... woo hoo. that's should take a good hour maybe a little more.. Fun in the grow room....Gotta love it!!! :-)

Well, I had a big plans for transplanting a clone and taking 3 new clones tonight, but wasn't able to. The roots on my clone are not as long as I like them to be when I transplant. Looks like I'll have to wait another day. 2 at the most. No biggie. Was able to get the nute change done, and topped off all my reservoirs. Man, I'm always surprised by pH levels. For instance, tonight I measure them, they were at about 5.1 to 5.3. As soon as I top them off they jump right up to 5.4 to 5.6 exactly where I like to see them. This happens every day. I love it!!! I never have to pH up or down. I only use it when I'm mixing up a new batch of nutes, after that I never need to adjust my pH levels again. they stay solid as long as I keep my reservoirs filled to 12 gallons. That's pretty damn cool!!

I went ahead and took some pics even though it's only been 3 days since my last pics. Also, some people may notice that previous were labeled "49_days_flowering." this was incorrect, should have been 39 days. I'm at 42 days flowering now. Hope you enjoy the pics. I can't wait to harvest and take pics of the buds. I want you guys to see what the buds look like from these girls once fully developed and cured...

Here's tonight's picture update. One of them is a little washed out, and a couple could have been a little more in focus, but in general, they look great. You can really see the buds and the tri-choome production happening....They're glowing white!!! :-) you can also see that each plant has many colas... there are lower ones hidden, as well as other's that are behind the plants that aren't visible either. But you get the idea....

I'm going to take some trichome pics (up close pictures) very soon. The buds are so friggin frosty and white with crystal it's really quite unbelievable. I think this is the best grow I've ever done with this strain.....I can't wait to show you those pics dude... heheh.

Well, i just left the flower room. We have 4 plants a little more than 1 month in to flowering. We counted on average 25 colas per plant. We have about 100 colas total, that could be easily seen. I LOVE DWC!!!

Is there any others of you getting this kind of growth? Or even better? I would love to hear about it and even see a pic or two.

I attached a couple pics. The first one is pre-flowering and the other two are 1 month in to flower. I hope you like.

Take it easy all. And as always, happy huge harvests to you!!!

Well, probably the biggest part of it is the strain itself. White Rhino. It's known to grow bushy like this. And I too keep my lights as close as possible so as not to promote stretching.

I do NOT FIM, TOP, or do LST. This is how my plants grow from clone.

If you'd like to try and get a more bushy look, I wouldn't suggest topping your plant. Instead, just bend the top over so that it's pointing down, and tie it off like that. This will promote all the lower growth to try and become "tops." You can do this 2 or 3 times if you want, but even once will improve the "bushiness" of your plants.

I'd say give that a try. It will most definitely make your plant more bushy, with out the stress of topping. :-)

Good luck to you.

Quick little update today. They're nothing special, but they're neat. My brother's cell phone has a cool panoramic feature that allows you to start taking a picture, and then you keep moving the camera across the plants and it keeps taking pics. It takes like 4 or 5 pictures, and then it pastes them in to one panoramic picture. Unfortunately, it doesn't get a whole lot of the plants in the pictures, vertically...oh well.

I'll be putting up a bunch of close-up pics sunday or monday. You will NOT believe how frosted these colas are with trichomes. It's amazing. I don't think I've seen buds with so much friggin crystal (THC, trichomes, what ever you like to call it) in my life... UNBELIEVABLE. :smile:

I wish the last really close up picture was better. The HPS light screws up the close pics like that one. I wish you could see how WHITE this bud actually is with trichomes. Like I said, I'll have some pics showing that here very soon...

Have a great and stoney New Years!!!
