Its really annoying me. The co's co's have pulled through but they've hardly stretched coz of it. I like a bit of stretch it improves yeild imo. When i put 'em in flower they usually erupt with growth but not recently FSS!!!!

and i've promised cuts to folk and they are having to wait. All i can do is apologise to them and tell 'em i'll do it when its healthy.
unhealthy plant=unhealthy clones

Its at full strenght but it aint that. Its winding me up coz as soon as i put into the flower tent they do that and its stunting the growth. They should love the 1st couple of weeks 12/12 but this has happened to the co's and now the livers

full strength straight off the bat might be a bit much, certain strains are fussy eaters. the faq said somethin about potassium, but theyd be a lot worse if that was the prob. stick it as a thread in the plant probs section maybe?

Hi guys, i'm popping my cherry with this post, 1st ever..... I cant believe i got to page 161 to find out your stopping growing.... Just my luck, saying that i already feel ive learnt stuff just by spending the time reading this. I followed this thread from the beginning because i have the same set up & this is my 1st grow so im interested in what to expect, even though Oscars grow exceeded all my expectations. Im growing 4x Jackie White clones & 3x Blue Cheese clones (off a friend, which i must say, look very similar to your Liver clones) each in all mix soil & im on day10 flower, yesterday i transplanted my babies into 10L buckets but as ive already been feeding them for a week now on Ionics bloom & Boost (just the recommended dosage) I am stuck weather to carry on feeding them as i was or reduce the ammount because now their in fresh soil & apparently that supplys them with their food for a week or 2 already. Can anyone recommend any advice or links to information, Thanx. PS did i mention Im gutted your growing days are numberd Oscar!!

Thanks for taking the time to read through it all, it must have taken a while lol. Are you gonna do a journal? I'm stopping coz i've got enough dope to last me quite a while (i bury it up the woods coz i don't like to have too much in the house) and i've got a nice bit of variety. I think you may have gone a bit too soon with the boost (i'm no expert) the one i use says to use it from week 3 of flower. If your plants are doing ok then just keep doing what you're doing. Thanks again for reading it all and if its helped you thats all i can ask for. You can chuck some pics on here if you like.

Its not straight off the bat it been vegging for a while. it looks a lot better now its back in the veg cab. i did put it in the plant probs and i got a load of differing opinions (not much help). its gotta be the enviroment but the temps are reasonable lights on and off the only thing it might be is humidity which is very low it doesn't even register on the gizmometer thing lol i dunno wtf it is :wall::wall::wall:

I wait two weks to put 'em on bloom nutes. I only put it in there to give it a boost before i took cuts, i usually do that and it works a treat it gives 'em a bit of a stretch so the cuts aint too short

I always take 'em about 3 to 4 inches long and they take 8 to 11 days to root, I think at that size you give 'em a good start in life

Yeah, took a while but im here now. With my Ionics it just says use from start of flower, but i've been mixing it a tad weak at the beginning as i "got told" the soil contained nutes too & I didnt wana kill em off. My predicament now is coz i've transplanted them into buckets & supposedly theres nutes in with the soil so if i continue to feed them their regular mix, could it be too much for them?? Also, any advice on feeding would be great, how much they take in 10L buckets now, they were taking 1L every other day manually in 3L pots.
Im taking a small personal photo jurnal on this 1, just for comparison purposes more than anything, but I want to do a proper 1 when I can afford to get myself a seperate veg tent & start from seed, hence using 7 clones as a kinda trial run.
I'll try & upload a pic of the BC i thought looked similar to your Liver, it got veg'd for 4wks, the pic is on the day of the transplant into bucket.

Thanx for the welcome msg Mr West

just give 'em the same volume of water/feed as you have been, they'll let you know when they want more, the bucket will feel light. They are the same buckets i was using before the autopots, i'd still use 'em if they fitted in the trays. That BC looks like its enjoying what you're doing. Keep it up mate. you'll be obsessed with your new favourite hobby soon lol i know i am:-P

I've done the livers cuttings. I know i shoulda done 'em two weeks ago lol. The last pic is the mother after the snips were done, its hardly noticed. I took the cuts from the ends of the branches so there are a decent size. I took 10 coz i've promised a couple to a good mate and the others are gonna go outside some where, i've got somewhere in mind but i'll go and have a good look at the spot before i plant them out. I've put the mum in flower now and i hope it don't claw and droop :wall::wall: that be be the last plant i'll flower for a while. Once that livers is done i'll be shutting down coz i've got a good variety of bud that'll last me a good while
