600w HPS cupboard grow from clones (LST)

Hi Guys

This is my latest grow journal. All comments/suggestions/tips are welcome.

6 plants all clones from my female mother. Strain is unknown, but its a good strong strain that buds well (see a pic of the mother here: https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-pics/images/129227/2_photo1.jpg)

Im growing them under a 600 watt HPS in a cool tube in my wardrobe. I've painted all the walls and the inside of the doors in the wardrobe flat white. I've got about 5-6 feet of vertical grow space.

This time im growing in a mix of 50% potting mix, 25% perlite, 25% vermiculite, and a handful of lime.

Im going to LST all the plants, to try and fill up as much space in the wardrobe as possible and get a nice even canopy of colas. To start im going to top them all to get 4 colas on each plant, them im going to LST each of the colas.

Im going to use Canna Terra nutes. And during flowering im going to add Canna Boost Accelerator.

At the moment I have just taken the 6 clone cuttings from my mother plant about 2 hours ago.

I've put them all in plastic cups with a mix of 50% seed starting soil, 25% perlite and, and 25% vermiculite. I've wet the mix lightly so that it is damp all the way through (but not too wet). I added some AU60 Root Repair (root hormone) into the water I used to wet the medium. I used Clonex rooting gel on the cuttings, put them into the cups, and then into my humidity dome. Gave them a bit of spray with straight water, and also sprayed the inside of the humidity dome lid.

Got the clones under some flurous (1 x 24 watt cool white, 1 x 18 watt cool white, 1 x 18 watt warm white).

Now I wait for them to root.

Here are some pics to start things off.

It's been about 14 hours since I took my cuttings and planted them in the humidity dome.

Just took the lid off and gave them another mist, and also misted the inside of the lid again to keep the humidity high.

They seem to be standing up taller already.

The clone at the back, on the far right....am I seeing things, or does that look like it has rooted already? In only 14 hours?

If you compare it to the pic yesterday, its 100% better. Standing up tall, leaves out nice and straight.

It just seems too soon?

Been about 48 hours since planting the clones.

Nothing much happening. Just waiting. Pic attached.

those clones are looking very good. Cant wait to see how this grow goes.

Day 3 since planting clones.

Nothing much happening yet. I just trimmed off some of the bottom leaves on each clone, as there was a few too many leaves. Pic attached.

Got a phone call while I was misting the clones before. And forgot to go back in and put the lid back on the humidity dome. So its been off for the last 3 hours which isn't good. Although they look fine so I put the lid back on and will see how they go.

I wonder if it would be OK to leave the humidity dome off now? Its been 3 days and they look fine. Or should I just leave it on? Pic attached

Here is a pic of the wardrobe with the pots under my 600w HPS, ready to take the clones once they root. I still need to put 1 more pot in there on the far right, as there is only 5 at the moment. I will do that when Im finished this bowl

The pot on the far left looks shaded, but it isn't, its just that the soil in that pot is wet and the others are all dry. All pots get good light.

I have two fans also about to go in there, one box fan and one osciallating fan.

First pic with light off:



And this pic with light on:




You can't see it in these pics, but I have the exhaust ducting running from my cool tube, up into the roof cavity, which is connected to my carbon filter. It is a passive intake system in that I have no air pumping in. The air being pushed out the cool tube is replaced by new air running in through the gaps around the door of the wardrobe.

6 pots ready to rock and roll

Day 4 since planting the clones. I've opened two vents on each side of the humidity dome lid today to let some air in and get them used to life on the outside.

Day 5. Im taking the lid off the humidity dome for a few hours at a time today.

Their looking very healthy great job!

every thing is lookin great, if u do lst u should check out the lst thread in the links below. its a cool thread. and im scribed for the grow.

Day 6. I've left the humidity dome lid off all day today. Checked them all for roots at the bottom of the cups, nothing yet.

im sure their gonna root they still look pretty healthy, and hey u should check out the club 600 thread for growers using 600 watt lamps. just type it in in the search bar

I have moved the clones from the clone cupboard into my veg/flower cupboard, under the 600w HPS. I've left the lid on for now until they get used to it.

Here is some pics of some buds I've recently harvested off a clone from the same mother as these clones. They've just finished drying, and have been curing for 1 week.

Just smoked 1 bud and its VERY nice. Very dense buds too, they feel rock hard. The bud in the bottom pic weighs 5.8 grams dried.

Im going to put the rest back into a jar and cure it for a bit longer.

mmm that bud looks like this powerplant ive been smokin on for awhile now, looks dank
