thanks bigmike. i was wondering were everyone went. still no luck on the seeds, they took up water and swelld slightly, darkend, but the edge looks like it wont budge. i really like this strain alot and if this doesnt work i will have to purchase them. spent alot of money yesterday but oh well. out of 50 clones that i took 11 days ago, 34 rooted. 4 of thems roots were just one or one root barely pokeing out of the substrate. the rest i clipped along the way and got rid of some yesterday when i was transplanting them. i guess thats why i do high numbers, i mean realistically most of the ones i yanked would have rooted if i gave them more time. but thats the thing. i want the quickest most effecient, "goof proof" if you will. on to the bubble cloner. i will be taking pics as i build it and posting here. im not sure i will be clong the purps plants to sex at this time, maybe i might take a clone just to have more, but these are around 3 to 4 weeks so by the time the cuttings root and show sex, the mothers i took them from should be mature. so maybe i will clone this time around but not sex,. we'll see. i have room in my new veg room for 6 15 gallon pots and i would like to have like5 mothers and maybe a father to collect pollen as the sixth space. not to organized at the moment and it is getting irratating, im trying to collect a few strains for variety and breeding projects, so i guess thats what this journal will turn into since i will by X ing the purps with all the other strains i have. im seriously at a crossroad in decesion making. i dont know what to do, on one hand i got these 7 sensi star plants that have been vegging for close to a month and are getting to big. on the other i have 34 clones plus a few from the mr nice, hassan, and one from each of the purps ina couple weeks if i can get on the ball. i dont expect all 34 clones to pull through, i tend to be a bit rough in hopes that vigor is dominant in my flower room. no whimps. my mom is expecting me to come through on her new grow room plus some plants for her to flower. so i think i will give her a couple of the plants that i have been vegging, that way she can through them under 12/12 and have a nice crop in 65 days. i talked my roomate into letting me get another light, well actually i told him i was getting one so dont freak out on the next light bill. we started this indoor adventure together but in the midst of my over exitment, i was unable to see the lack of his, so now he just goes to the basement to look at them and water when im out of town, i work nights and he works days so there is always someone home. i would like to tell you guys my dogs are killers but there not. weak sauce... anyway i have to find a new home for my outdoor gals soon because they are looking nice, trichomes starting to form. a lil problem with spider mites but to be expected, im sure somebody is waiting to rip me off. so away they go where they went nobody knows!
my buddy who is a contractor/engineer by trade/day and dipshit by night will be framing my basement with a dummy wall. so know more grow box, this new wall will be built and include a professional "secret" flower room. he said what are some of the things i wanted in there, i told him two thousies, and i want to be able to spill a shit load of water and not fuck anything up. safe clean equipped. but most of all safe. some of my shit is mickey mouse right now and it is pissing me off! so this weekend i will be getting everything dialed in. after i pay rent next week i will buy my new light. i will do one SOG then prolly build my new grow room, at that point i will be able to flower outside while the basement gets remodeld. so those are the plans and upcoming events with pics included for sure to let you guys in on our project. im pretty exited, my room mate works at the lumber yard and my friend is a contractor! and he works for weed!! all i need is money for the materials and he can start planning. this room will be "permanent" so my plan is to make it into a dark room (photography) before i move. when i move, which prolly wont be for a while.
back to my dileima, what im thinking is, i will give my mom 4 of my sensi star plants that are 1.5ft tall. she should pull a nice amount of weight, then when my other strains are ready take her 4 more, one of each, she can have 12 max. then i will have 3 left, but they will take up to much room in my flower room so i will have to put them out side or give them away to some friends. then i will have an empty flower room, stick twenty clones in there once their roots set in the 2 gallon pots, then 30 days into flower 20 more of different variety. im thinking a plant per square foot. i wont need to use my second light till then either i think thats what i will do. but i need some opinions on it. also i cant seem to find my t5, any one know where it might be?
