Alrighty then.
Seeds: 20 Jack Herer, 10 White Widow, 10 NL, 10 Big Bud, 10 Purple Power.
I plan to germ half the seeds and put the rest on ice, this would be my first grow, I wouldn't know what to do with all those plants
Hoping to get 2 to 3 viable girls and 1 male from each strain.
Will be growing in fox farm ocean dirt stuff (haven't bought yet) then outside
Will veg under 400 watt MH (switchable to HPS)
Will be taking a cutting as soon as possible from each rooted plant
-What is the earliest I could take a cutting?
Have on hand rockwool, clonex, few dozen netpots (2 and 4 inch) clay balls, pps meter, pretty strong power head with venturi, ph meter, GH nutes, homemade carbon filter, 265 cfm fam, 50 feet of of flexible dryer conduit, 500 sq ft of mylar, 6 black 8 gallon gas tanks (unused), bunch of misc rubbermaid containers (up to 14 gallon, mostly 4-6 inch deep)
-How should I clone, I'm a noob and am not all that comfortable with hydro and would rather have clones in soil until I'm brave enough
June 1st I plan on moving the first gens outside to let them reach for the sky. Planted in ground, near a stream, spread out a mile or so.
The clones will go into 12/12 under 400HPS
When sex shows on the small clones will cull the outdoor herd to only females
I want to pollinate the girls clones with their respective guys to generate some seeds
-Will males growing in seperate area share pollen? Will I end up with a mishmash of pollens or can I be sure to get pollen from each male individually?
After clones mature will harvest seeds and buds and reveg under 24hr 400w MH (probably a couple flouros as well)
-How far back do I need to trim the budded girls? Should I leave some bud or clip it all? How many leaves should I leave on, Just a few at the top?
I know a person who would keeps mothers for me as long as I supply strains he doesn't have.
-After revegging , how viable would a clone be? Wondering if it would be to old to thrive...?
- What should I do to keep the males alive as I would like to play around with some hybrids?
Thanks alot!
