Being with you on the first grow, I have definitely started to look at cloning. Simply for the perpetual grow. But i have 0 supplies and a single tent. Looking into picking up a small tent, small light, and some form of a cloning kit

I have used rapid rooters but also straight to soil with some gel. If you're still looking for nutes, look at megacrop. It's easy and simple. They have a free sample pack, pay shipping, and way you go.

Looking good!
Have 3 part nutes from General Hydroponics arriving tomorrow. Will see how they go.

I'm assuming I'll get better results than with the Tomato food I fed the parent lol!

2 weeks flower now.
Still dealing with newt issues but things are headed in the right direction.

Some of the FIMs really took and other branches look like they are starting to stack.

What do y'all think?

Tight... How's your humidity? Good air flow and you should be safe.
Temp is 73 @ canopy RH between 43-50 with box fan blowing down on them.

Just separated the colas last night. 3rd pic down with the 6 cluster was woven into one big mess. Had a few like that so they're drying out now

Week 3 Flower...

Got some more work done. Just laid a hydraulic cement barrier down to act as a catch basin for run off. It's still rough. Form still in place. Probably 1 more night to dry/remove outer form...

Major flush to get soil correct moisture last night.
Over 15 gal between the 3 pots.
1/2 gal feed every 30 min.

Plants seem to be responding well.
Finally getting nute/ph under control. Some of the ladies are starting to pack the flower on. Especially those limbs that were most stressed.

Clones are taking off.
Out of 32 only had 1 not make it.
Not to bad from getting cut and going straight into soil.

Anywho,
A few pics...
***Leaves are wet in pics***

.Smoke,

I want to apologize for the other thread. I didnt see your thread on this grow. I was just reading the other thread about "picking a light" and you suggested the 315 CMH, for a 2x2. I disagreed, then seen your thread of your plant with the " Ice",lol, the one I got banned from,

Im just being honest, and just caught me in a bad minute..

Anyways, I want to share my opinion.

First off, why the heck isnt anyone telling you your having issues? Thats kinda annoying. Telling you they look great, when man, they are pretty much toast.

Light is WAY to close, you burnt the plants. That light should be at least 24 inches away, believe it or not. You see how your leaves are small? thats because its getting to much light.

and, Im almost 100% sure, you have mites. I seen 2 of them in your pics. unless u ate a bigmac in your grow area, and seeds fell on the plant, but i see 2 of them. Look like mites anyways,

Your PPMs should be 400PPM Max at peak flower, per week for that light, and probably around 200PPM per week at this stage ur in now.

I know it sounds freaking redicoulouse, but you dont have the watts to eat those high PPMs of nutes. The directions on the back of the bottles represents 1000W HPS, So, you should automatically cut that into 3rds, because you have a 3rd of the 1000W light, that make sense?

So, if you have 350 watts, YOUR VEG stage, should not be getting more then 1/2 the light that it has to offer, because by MidFlower, is when you want your light to be " all you can give Her", because she is more mature for the more intense light/

But i can tell you right now, To much light, To many Nutes, To much water, right off the bat, then the mites, or not mites, i dont know, but sure looks like it to me. Something is eating your plant, cat maybe?lol, just kidden, i dont know if you have a cat, but i see hair, is why i said that.

Now, you can block me if you want, but since not 1 single professional grower here told you to BACK THAT LIGHT OFF, I had to tell you so u know in the future.

I wish you much success, and growwww on!

Hey man. No harm no foul. Just cautious around here. Cant believe there are so many tools even on a site like this.

I want to say THANK YOU.
You've given me useful, helpful advice and man I need as much of that as I can get!

I raised the light from 18-24 inches.
We DO have fucking cats...(girlfriends...)
Haven't seen any mites so not sure there.
But please continue with any helpful info.
I very much appreciate it!

Most of us dont grow for fun, there is usually a definitive reason for it, time and money is important, and failure is high, just remember, to little is better then to much.

Just look close for bugs, the other pics in the other thread, I seen something,like i said, definitely looks like a leaf aphid, and i know they usually on bottom, might of gotten lost, lol, Just check man. If i have your permission, i can copy and circle what i see to show you what i mean in your pic.

and your very much welcome .smoke
