My grow journal - cfl grows

So happy I think at least 6 of my clones are gonna make it, roots starting to hit bottom of the pots and still look super healthy and green... Gonna start hardening them off tomorrow.. Then thinking at least 2 - 3 week veg after transplanting into new pots. Then straight into flower.

I think what helped my clones this time is the humidity domes..

So dam pleased.

9 days into flower so far on 5 of my plants and successfully transplanted 2 clones so far currently veggingin with flowering plants and remove before lights off..

Group shot

Clones

Close up pics of flowering


Also placed plants on a bread crate to allow better air flow underneath smart pots also will help out dry better before feedings.

Exciting stuff

I have decided to use natural sunlight + my cfls to increase yield and more denser buds...

Cfl lights on run from 7-7pm around 8am I take all plants outside to get natural sunlight till about 5pm..

I will be leaving smaller plants the clones in doors under cfl..

I will be upgrading or adding an HP's to my current set up when ever I can afford to.

Nice clones bro.. But im confused how you get sunlight at 5pm if the plants are still under the cfl's from 7am-7pm?

Sorry will make it clearer, my indoor setup has roughly 500 actual watts of a t5 + CFLs it runs 7am-7pm daily as I'm flowering my 5 plants in 3 gal smart pots..

I just simply take my biggest plants outside and give them natural sunlight to help increase yield. I just put them back in tent at 5 pm...

While the biggest ones are out I put 3 of my best clones into my indoor flowering tent just to give them some better light then my clone section and before lights out I place them back in NY 24/7 clone section..

I'm planning on eventually getting into sog so I have a fair few clones as tests and they look like majority will survive so I'm gonna have to up NY indoor lights to compensate extra plants..

I guess I won't be classed just as a cfl grow now as I'm using natural sunlight as well

Ok now i see, yeah i misunderstood earlier.. I guess as long as they don't mind the sun and dont accidentally bring mites/thrips/aphids inside then you should be all good.

Yes I do keep a good eye out for any pests nothing just yet.

Currently have 5 clones transplanted and root growth is very quick. I tape down as roots show in plastic pots..



Might veg these a while yet before leaving in flower tent.

Just sharing some close up of flowering..



Really looking forward to a month in flower to see how these girls look.

10 days in 12/12

Hey man just a heads up. You could very well stress them out giving them a heavy sunlight when they havent had it thwir whole life. I wouldnt do it if i were you but if you do just make sure you harden them off to the sun. Dont put them into direct sunlight day 1 instead increase the amount of direct sun they get each day until they grow accustomed to it. I have moved many a plant from the inside out and ive found by far this is the best way.

Although i wouldnt keep bringing them in and out in early flower like this. I can forsee its gonna stress them whether it minimal or a lot it still brings you the potential of hermies.

Thanks for the heads up I may just leave them indoors then, and wait to upgrade my lights.

Thanks buddy.

Peeled of the tape on one of my clones to see how the roots are going..



Have 20 + clones I think will survive.

14 days into flower:


And a shot of a clone I thought was gonna die and she bounced back an starting new growth:


Current clones all transplanted into 1.25 ltr bottles are starting new growth also. So I will veg until 5-6" tall then I want to flower them.

Lookking good bro

Thanks mate

Following. I have an outdoor grow and we are about the same as far as how our flowers look. I'll be curious as to how and what and how much your carbon filter system costs and how effective it is

Thanks for following as this is my first grow my main fear is the buds ain't gonna get big lol, check them daily not like a lot will change overnight.

I currently don't have a carbon filter setup and will get one in the next few weeks but smell isn't an issue for me as I have no neighbors.
