My first thread is here, with details of my first bagseed grow and earlier pics of the clones, etc:
Specs for this grow:
Flower Room:
Veg Room:
Yesterday was Day 0 for what I hope to be a perpetual grow. I got 10 Chronic Haze clones on 12/17/2010 and transplanted 7 of them to 5x5 pots, and 3 of them went right into #2 smart pots. They began veg'ing on 12/18. On 12/31, after about 12 days of 18/6, CH#8 went into the flower box for a transition day of ~15 hours daylight before it's first night of 12/12.
I still have 1 plant in flower that will be harvested within a week, one random Afghan that was Germ'd on 11/17, topped on 12/13, and transitioned to the flower box on 12/18. I wanted to veg her longer but I had such a large gap in my flower box due to so many previous males, and needed the room in veg for the clones when I got them. She hasn't shown balls yet, nor pistils, but I can see what I am confident is a calyx at this point.
Also in the flower box is a Kannabia Power Skunk in a 18oz party cup, that I am trying to take 12/12 from seed. It was put in water on 12/23, germ'd on x-mas day and put into a root riot. On 12/29 it was above the root riot enough it got put into the party cup and spent 15 hours under the T5 before going to bed for 12/12 in the flower box. It has been slowly moved up from ground level to increase the lumens.
The plan from here is to move one clone into flower every 10 days and after 60 days hopefully throw CH#8 into darkness for 72 hours to finish, before harvesting. I can fit 7 or 8 in the flower box if I need to let it go 70 days instead. I am also making plans to build a flower box about double the size.
The clones are going to start getting a bit big before long and will have to be topped and/or trained to control some of the height possibly. I have a friend that is a caregiver and he is hopefully going to be trading me some seeds for a few of my clones, so he can do some cross-breeding. I am afraid of what the veg box will look like in 50 days when there are 6 in flower and 4 still in veg.
I thought I wanted to try and use all clones for perpetual but I think it may be easier for me to control my plant numbers, and not have to deal with rooting clones, if I try to use mostly fem'd seeds. I may try to clone still, but either way I need to get rid of some of these clones before they become too big in veg for me to flower.
