Well here's what I would recommend. I'll take some pics of the 2 i've got in soil that are almost ready, they were 14" last time they grew back from cloning and had about 8-11 "tops" on them each and have stayed under 3 ft. (Planter size is critical, real easy to rootbind, or too big a pot/bucket and monster plant) You'd take 2 sets of clones off her. First set off the bottom, they'll root right off. Then give her about 10 days veg if everythings looking ok and top her out, taking another batch of larger clones, end result will look like a bonsai style hedge with about a 6" bare stalk from soil to lowest limb, and a dome full of clones. If not sure female yet, take an even number from each one and label well to not mix up. I'll go into a lil more detail with pics and such in the next few when time permits.

Thanks man, what size are your clones when you take them, length wise?

Very good advice. He knows his way around the grow room lilmafia. I would use his advice, especially with the topping.

I have some update pics coming, getting them up now. Take a look when you get a chance. Later man

Fluffy.... :-P

i like it! I need to name that one of mine spike. The hairs are wavy but pointy. Has a hint of lemon comming off one plant. Don't know if it's from watering with lemon juice for so long, or if i got lucky and got some lemony pot, like lemon drop. :weed:

Either way it smells nice and sweet and will be some good nugs!! :leaf:

Why you watering with lemon juice?Does it not lower your ph?

Well, i was and it did the trick. But the next day it was like i did nothing. Now I use real PH up and down.
Could the lemon smell be from using the juice still? I haven't used the lemon juice for almost three weeks, i think.

I like your stealth cabinet.

Imagine a junkyard full of grows
in all those refrigerators.

I'll be watching for your picture update.

Lol..Thanks man, but there's no fridges in my grow. :-P

It started in a filing cabinet, but was moved to a basement shelving area,remodeled to accomodate the girls!!LOL!!!
Thanks for stopping by man!

Question:
Got 2-NL, and 2- Violator Kush seeds today, but don't want to plant yet. How can i keep them untill i'm ready without them going bad?

Earl · Jan 11, 2009

Every time I see a junk yard
I see cabinets full of weed.

I keep my seeds in a tin
like you get with cookies.

Not too dry and not too moist.

Room temp is OK.

Absolutely... thats the best place u can store seeds actually... u can keep seeds for over 5 years, provided proper conditions

Checked it out, looks good. Actually i wouldn't consider mine to be stealthy anymore. it is not in the original filing cabinet, now in a basement! Check out the latest updatesa page or two ago. Thanks for stopping by.

Thats funny.

Mine was going to be a stealth, but the plants quicky outgrew its invorment. I really dont need it stealth, just need to keep the smell under control

Phosphoric acid at the hydro store is a good $5 investment.. The 10% stuff is fine.. Phosphoric acid tends to react to form compounds that are great pH buffers in the range of 6.5-7.0, lemon juice will form compounds that have virtually no buffering capacity anywhere near high enough for our purposes.. Its not that plants use P anyways that phosphoric acid is preferred, its the stability.. If you just plain can't get it then soaking peat moss in your water is a great way to lower the pH in a fairly stable way..

I think it fixed actually by mistake.
I filled up three or four gallon jugs of water the night before i was gonna use them. The next day i got there and added the nutes, then checked the PH. It was actually at like 4.0!!! Never happened that way before from just adding nutes.
So i guess it sitting over night adjusted the PH lower than what i used to, then adding nutes made it too low. Fixed with some PH up. and good to go!
