Cheers budolskie.

I'm going in the room tonight to see whether
1, if the 4th clone can be potted up.
2, if I need to clean any more foliage from the bottoms
3, if its time for the bamboo
4, if anyone needs watering.

Unfortunately due to me having plants and clones I'm gonna need to mix 2 different feeds for the larger girls and clones. So I've got myself a spare 5L bottle for the clones.

Currently the clones are receiving in 5L
5ml A and B of the VEGA.
20ml Rhizotonic
12.5ml Cannazym.

EC 0.8 pH6


Will update later if I've done any work in there.

Here is another update.

I have made the switch to 12/12 today.

I've bamboo'd my 3 larger girls. The bamboo stands 2ft out of the top of the pot.

The bushier of the 2 largest girls is the critical.


Enjoy.



J

Just thought I would update with my temps from my first 24hour cycle of 12/12 with these girls.

Hi's 22.7C
Lo's 19.2C


The larger FCJ is developing more of a calcium deficiency. She's a calcium whore lol. The other 2 are fine at present. Next feeding I will be mixing up 1L of water with 2ml per litre of Ca and giving this to the larger FCJ during feeding. The bottle directions state for Ca def to use 1-2ml per litre. So its getting 2ml.



J

Hey folks.

Another update.

The 4th clone had enough roots today to be able to transplant.

The larger FCJ's calcium deficiency has gotten slightly worse. So today I have given all 3 larger plants a share of 1.6litres containing 2.5ml Ca and 2ml Mg.

The 4th clone will be a true little test of SOG style growing. Newly rooted and sent to flowering. So dependant upon yield at the end of this 4th clones journey will tell me what kind of overall yield I could probably achieve, as I think I could easily fit 16 of these style clones under my light in these pots. Possibly even 20. So here's hoping. Lol.



Enjoy.



J

Hey folks.

Update.
2 pictures.

One pic of the 4 clones.
One of the 3 girls.

Statistics.
EC in 1.5
pH 5.7
18L mix
A and B 36ml of each
Rhizotonic 18ml
CANNAZYM 45ml
Ca 6ml
Mg 6ml
Potassium Silicat 10ml

I gave the Ca and Mg mix last time and to be fair the calcium def has stopped spreading. I was using 3ml of Ca and Mg before now I'm doubling it to 6ml 6ml.

Larger FCJ EC out 1.6.
Large CRITICAL+ out 1.5
Smaller FCJ out 1.2 (stunned by this one lol)



On Sunday/Monday I will be trimming back the clones a little at the bottoms. Lollypopping if you will.

I may trim a little off the larger girls too. I'm undecided as to what I'm going to do yet. I haven't started any LST yet either. The bamboo canes stand 2ft from the top of the pots so my aim is to keep the plants below that level using some slight LST to restrict the vertical growth.



Enjoy.



J

Here is another update.

First pictures are of the whole room and the clones after I've trimmed a little off the clones at the bottom.

You can see the other plants heights against the bamboo which stands 24" off the top of the pots.


More pics to follow.


J

Next few pics.

Picture 1 whole room.

Picture 2 larger FCJ that did have the Ca problem. It appears to have stopped.

Picture 3 critical+

Picture 4 smaller FCJ.

Last 2 pictures.

Picture 1 whole room.

Picture 2 clones from above.

looking good jon iwill be getting couple my shots my 3 on 12/12 the day when giving a full strength feed 14 days off 12/12 it been for them now

So you grow start to finish on your 400w hps? I got my MH BC I heard they were better for veg, but yours seemed to have great growth under the hps.

I'm also liking what you're doing with the smaller clones into flower in the one pot. I might try that out, what are the benefits compared to a single large plant in that pot?

Yes I use hps start to finish. Its a SYLVANIA GROLUX with enganced blue spectrum.

The 4 small clones are NOT in 1 pot. They are just occupying the floorspace where another pot would have been.

This is my first time running my room this way. 3x larger plants with 4x little clones.

As for advantages, less trimming at harvest time is a big one!!

It could yield less than 1 larger plant. I generally get around 100g per larger plant in this room. So each of those clones needs to come in with around 25g a piece to equal what I would have gotten from a larger plant occupying the same space.

I did actually plan on having 4 larger plants with no clones but I had some germination failures, so I cloned some of the larger plants to make a mini SOG.

i have just potted my clones up before will get sum pics up tomoz

Coolio.


I'm going into my room later.

Not that I need to do anything.

I may do a little LST on the FCJ and critical as they maybe exceeding the bamboo now.

I may also trim up a little more bottom growth too on these 2

Just undecided yet. They've only been in flowering for a week so I've got another 7-14 days to fully decide if I'm trimming any more off.

Due to these being from seed they tend to stretch alot more than clones ever would during the transition to 12/12.

So I just have to keep my eye on them.


Might take a few snaps later to show what's happening.

Clones are receiving EC1.1 pH 5.8
Other larger girls are getting EC1.5 pH 5.8.


Runoff in the larger girls is generally coming out around 1.2-1.4 so I'm happy how they're feeding




J

Ok here is that update.

Contrary to what I thought, I've actually done a considerable amount to 2 of the plants today.

I have trimmed up and LST'd the larger FCJ.

I've also trimmed up the Critical+.

Haven't touched the smaller FCJ or the clones today.


Here are some pictures.

Firstly the larger FCJ.

Before trimming and after and the after LST. Its only mild LST for now just to spread out the centre a little more.



J

Second update.

This is the critical before and after trimming.



J

5 pics to this update.

Smaller FCJ.

Whole room shots of canopy after trimming and LST.

Shot from above at the canopy.

Picture of the type of growth that I trimmed off and the collection in the bag.

Very Nice...

Looking good lad

Here is a pic just as lights come on so you can see greenness to the plants.
