That coco comes with the grow bags huh? I've heard alot about it so I'm curious to see how it works for you.

This coco did, I could do without the bags myself. But it's convenient, so I decided to use them. If they had bigger bags of it I would've got one. I was hoping to grow in coco for the entire grow but could find enough locally.

Thanks for your visit!!

Well,, They're still alive. I'm sure it's to early to tell though. Here they are again...



I really like these pics,,, so we get to see them again on this page...

look fine to me...

Good to hear!! What do you think about the sick 2? You'll see 4 plants in the pics below. 2 of them are doing great, and are the ones I cloned. The happy ones are a White Widow and a Purple Jesus, ever heard of it? The sick 2 are the same strain of unknown lineage. All 4 have been grown under the same conditions until last night when the Mystery Nugs went in the coco bags.

PICS!!!!

there isn't bugs on the two sick ones?...... they look burned...... different strains react differently to nutrients, soils, ph, etc. ............

Never heard of Purple Jesus..... got a link to info on it?

Hey CP that was a major transfer mate.
Extreme, but as a gardener, necessary.
But hey!... you were gonna bin them anyway, so there survival is a testimony to the hardiness of the MJ.

Keep the nutes up with the coco because that's all they have now.
It's an inert medium, so now you have total control over everything. That's good

I love this watching this... good upon you CPH for your growing entertainment. lol

I haven't found any, and figured I would have found some on the others if it was bugs. I've tried several combinations of heavy and no feeding, as well as letting them dry out and keeping them moist. Nothing has changed a thing. They started to grow like this in the second week. They've never stopped growing, they just don't look very happy about it.

All I know about the PJ is that I was gifted 4 seeds and only got this 1 to sprout. They came from a local grower (midwest) that said it was his own cross. Then I found another thread on here were a guy was growing it out in CA. Probably someone elses cross out there. I just hope it really turns Purple!!

Thanks for you thoughts TLD!!

I'm glad I can entertain!! Makes me feel like a kid again, out playing in the dirt!!

Thank you for the inspiration to keep them. No matter how it turns out, at least I got a little more experience!!

A quick pic because I was watering.

Things aren't going real good on the clones. I'll be updating my bubble head thread with the details. I've been getting help, I just like lots of opinions.

They're still alive!!

Pics for the sake of pics

WW..





PJ..

Lovin the Inner growth, the plants are lookin really good, how much longer until you take some clones?

[QUOTE="SICC";3454323]Lovin the Inner growth, the plants are lookin really good, how much longer until you take some clones?[/QUOTE]

I haven't managed to kill the first batch yet. No matter what I've tried.

I plan to take the second batch on Sun. I'll probably take 1 or 2 from the MN to see if maybe they like the bubbles. The coco hasn't made much of a difference yet. I'm sure it's partially from the shock of the transplant but they are loosing a lot of leaves.

I need to raise the light some more too. I really need to find an easier way to do it. I have to move all the plants out of the way and remove one of the fixtures, then climb up on the table. It's a pain in the ass!! For now I think I need to set up some pulley's. In the future I'd like to set up something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360209054790&rvr_id=&crlp=1_263602_263622&UA=WXI7&GUID=39a924301250a0e20263ad23ff87f450&itemid=360209054790&ff4=263602_263622 to adjust it.

Sounds good man, and i kno you feel, it is always a pain trying to get in there with all the plants, shit i only got one and i get pissed when i try and adjust something, its like a whole process haha, keep us posted, i have been following along, but i tend to forget to comment haha

No worries, there isn't always something worth saying.

I got the light lifted a little and the mom's watered. Took these last night, it was just to late to post them. In the first pic you'll see why I needed to move the light.



Everybody back home and happy..



The clones need a boost to get closer to the light now. The tub is a little to heavy for the wire rack on the table. I need a board for more support.



Here are a few shots of the MN. You can see what I mean when I say they are loosing a lot of leaves.





On a brighter note this is the greenest growth I've seen on either of these for a long time.



Here are the mama's, happy as can be. The plan is to take a second batch of clones tonight.





A shot of the WW trunk. I'm going to give these moms a week to recover then transplant them to 5 gal buckets. One more batch of clones and then I'll flower them.





The clones will be updated a little later.

Lookin like a happy family, mothers and their children haha, that plant isnt getting burnt from touching those lights? clones lookin good, too bad about the MN, shes hangin in there tho

it would be horrific if that rack fell, i would get something up fast, maybe im just accident prone but i have had alot of stuff fall and my babies haha

I was surprised the light didn't burn her. She was directly touching the bulb for a day and showed no signs of damage. She has plenty of room now, and will have even more in the next few days after I take her top for a clone. I was hoping to clone tonight but had to repair the glue job on the second tub. That will be dry tomorrow and ready for use.

The lights are very secure with a chain in each corner. I don't have much chance of dropping it unless I do something stupid. It's got some weight to it and it isn't very easy to lift each corner separately on the hook. With my wench idea, I should be able to lift it all evenly and at the same time. Thanks for your thoughts "SICC"!!

Now some clone pics. They are alive, although to me they are looking a little funny.









I also got this. It will be used for the carbon filter, once it's finished and ready to use.

ROOTS!!!



Now I feel a little better about the taking some more clones. Even after messing up pretty bad with these they seem like they'll make it!

and there off!!

from what i have learned from watching others take and maintain clones, is that they are always going to be a lil funny, and most the time they will surprise you when you think something might not be working.

So here's how much "cat piss" $10 will get ya in OH. I take it the name comes from the after taste. Going in it the taste is skunky, but the taste after you exhale is kinda funky. But you can feal it go straight to the back of your head and settle in.


And what are the odds of this funky stuff having a seed in it??? Anyway I found one!!!



And now off to take some clones.

Nice man, i love finding seed

I have had Cat piss many times, the first time was awhile ago before i got my medical card and went thru dealers, the name threw me way off, i was like WTF, cat piss? but it did get me high

where is everyone else????
