4th Indoor Grow ** Pics **

AHHHHHH ... damn it .... i took new pics but realized i dont have a cable on me to put them on my computer then i went to use my girls digi and the friggen battery is dead .... sorry ppl ... your gonna have to wait till like 9 or 10 for pics ( its 3:43 pm ) but for the mean time ... all my plants are good. they all have nice new growth with healthy lookin leaves. and the biggest plants in the bigger pots have cloneable branches so thats good news cause i have decided im using all 9 plants as mothers and im gonna clone as many as i can.

i recieved 31 Tuna Kush seeds from a nice friend. he got them out of a DANK bag of TK. he told me that he let them mature for like 7 or 8 months and when i saw them damn did they ever look ready. i wasnt able to get pics but after 1 day of germination 7 seedlings popped there tails out so i planted the 3 that were big enough into peat cases ( ill have pics later) and let the other 4s tails get a bit bigger. im hoping atleast another 10 will come up so i can have around 20 tuna kush plants to give me a 50/50 that theres females. thats it for now

cheers

well im as good as temporarily fucked for now. this mornin i woke up at 9am ( 1 hour ago ) and noticed my bulb wasnt on but my ballast was. so i checked it out and the bulb had a tiny bit of light built up but wont turn on. WTF im screwed ... the only way for me to get a new setup is to make 50 clones to afford it, but even at that the hydro store out here in buttfucknowhere closed down

fuckin rights ... i picked up a used bulb for 10 bucks to tie me over till payday. also found out a butt load of info. first things first my ballast is rated for a 1000watt mh or mercury bulb ( it said it inside the metal case). second of all and obviously .. i had an expensive good 1000w MH ( but it burnt out). aside from that i plugged the new bulb in and it light up right away so they plants are gonna be happy. still no camera tho. hopefully ill have a cable to connect my phone to my comp by tonight. then i can show some new pics and start of a new journal on the tuna kush seeds i germinated. i checked on them this mornin and wow the tails were almost an inch long on some of them. pics later

so it took a while to bring things back to normal but its finally done. thanks to a few ppls knowledge i was able to cure the ' nute burn' problem. along with fixing the problem, i also bought a used/ new to me 1000w mh bulb, 2 bags of soil, a bag of perlite, a ph meter, 9 - 10" pots and a cable for my phone to connect to my comp for the people of RIU

it started out that the tips of my plants leaves were goin rusty brown .. and some rusty brown dots too. i had no clue what it was. i thought maybe bugs ... maybe too much heat . but then to my rescue, i was told it was nute burn. the soil i recently purchased has time released nutes and i was unaware this is bad. so pretty much every time i watered my 1 month old girls a bunch of nute balls were bustin open and splurgin nutrients all over the place, way too much. so when i found the problem, i pulled the plants individually as if i were to transplant, and gently rubbed as much dirt from the roots as i could. then i sifted through the dirt and pulled out each nut ball. then i flushed the hell outta them, like half a litre per 6" pot and 2 days later boom there good to go. they now have atleast an inch of new fresh & healthy growth plus there still growin.

5 mins ago when i was takin pics of my plants i moved them around for the photo shoot and a small fat looking round bug flew out ... i dont know if its harmful or not but it appears it was sittin by the stem on a leaf or something. i couldnt grab my spray killer intime before it vanished but im goin to treat my plants before they go to bed.

how old and big does anyone think a plant should be before it gets cloned off of ?

wait until there are at least 5 nodes, and you are really better off waiting even longer.

5 nodes so say ... roughly ... 5 inches tall ? ive got like 12 nodes on some plants. but im still gonna wait till they get a bit bigger

there yah go...

all but one plant are doing good after they had there nute burn. they range from 6 inches tall but bushy cause its purple kush to 12 inches tall being my purple indica. most of the indicas are around 10 inches. purps are around 6. theres plenty of spots to take clones off of and lots of new fresh growth. there all 6 weeks old so i think there doing pretty good as far as growth and height goes considering the stress they went through. all but two plants are in 10" pots ... the last purple k and purple i will probably get cloned and then tossed away. i recently added a temp gauge and its roughly 30 celcius. is that too hot ? the light is a foot away so its def. not burning them. ive got a fan above the light blowing air 180 degrees part way out of the closet and part of it in the closet. theres also one fan towards the plants for movement.

Ive got 10 P.I and 5 P.K clones i made 4 days ago ... 1 pk died leavving me with 4. ithink it died cause to much air got in where it was trying to root.

and lastly .. out of the 32 tuna kush seeds i had. 27 germinated. 22 seedlings sprouted up. and 15 are 1 inch tall and growing healthy.

pics sometimes soon in the next day or so possibly tonight after i get back from the Amsterdam Cafe and Vapour Lounge. ( local blaze shops for people who arent from my hood)
