here they are 3 days old with some am mix seeds. im really looking forward to see what the mix seeds are..


Are those two clones like at the end of flowering cause you can just throw those away you wanna take clones when they are still in veg usually i could be wrong but i'm almost positive your not supposed to take clones with almost done flowering plants, however everything else is looking great!

thanks for the info, i was too late deciding wheather to grow indoors or not and had some great buds from the outdoor grow. so i gave it a shot with these two. but i did yank them today,so nothing happens to the hybrid seedlings.


i did manage to save a strain from a earlier bud clone, believe it or not. and it did take a month to root enough to go in the growth stage mixture..lol here is the pics.

the cutting 2 weeks into root.




and the same cutting 4 weeks into root stage. it is getting it's 5 leaf sprouts.:eyesmoke:









Update: on the bag seed plants.

1 Month old from seed.

growing from all possible places....bongsmilie

added my led light panel now,since the plant is tall enough now and it was just sitting there.:mrgreen:

added i gal of 5.8 ph water without nutes to keep water level at 5 gal. i might add water with grow mixture next time it needs to be topped off.





here is a penny at the base of the stalk. getting thick

haha thats crazy, bye bye crystals, hello leaves! I like your set-up man, my only thought is you might want to upgrade the lighting. All those florescent tubes are t-12's correct? Not many lumens with those. Especially since you have quite a few plants, when flowering time comes, it might be hard to get the yield you want you know. other than that good job! oh what nutes are you using for veg/bloom?

thx for the in-put! i am starting with the t-12 daylight bulbs for veg, more blue spectrum.

i have been researching some about the cfl's and i am thinking about getting (8) red spectrum 250 watt cfl's for flowering. and maybe getting (8) blue spectrum 250 watt cfl's to add to what i have now. maybe mont the 4 ft t-12's on the sides of plants and use the 250's for the tops.


as for the nutes i am using technaflora plant products. in the grow stage i use :

B.C. boost- 3 tsp per gal
B.C. grow-1 1/2 tsp per gal
Thrive Alive B-1 red- 1/2 tsp per gal.
Magicali-1/2 tsp per gal.
Sugar daddy-2 tsp per gal.

allways add boost first!!!

when i started the seedlings to grow nutes i only use 3/4 strenth nutes.

here is the product

this week i had a problem with the largest bag seed plant.


i checked on some info and i think i know what went wrong.

first my nutes needed to be changed and second i needed to lower my ph to 5.5-5.7

the plant was suffering from a Magnesium deficiency. so it was time for new nutes at full strenth.

i also switched the light cycle to 18/6 now that the clone i have is back to growth cycle.

two of the other clones that wern't taking so well got scraped to the mulch pile.bongsmilie

hey sabbath,nikk here....if i could give you a quick tip....try lifting the reservoir with the plants up closer to the lights,that way in ensures that your plants would fill in rather than having long lanky stems,my first grow in the aero garden was a lil bit lankey because the lights were a lil too far away,you should lift it ATLEAST half way up to the lights(if you cant bring the lights down to the plants),i started my grow from seed and no lie bro my plants look short stocky and bushy like hell because i got my cfls about a inch from the plants and my fan leaves arent as BIG as yours are because it doesnt have to stretch or create a wide surface area to "grab" as much light as it can....im very knowledgeable on this because of trial and error,and im always here if you need advice

its best to start them with the light as close as you can get em(no less than 1 inch away)and gradually (like every week)move them away from the lights(an inch at a time)that way it gets extra bushy while at the same time allowing for vertical growth

hi nikk for that info. i have exsperimented with the height of the light a little. close or 1 ft away doesn't seem to matter with these plants. the side sprouts have grown so much that they are about to reach the center srpout and are very bushy.;-)

also im about to flower the 6 in the one tub. so im going to take 2 clones from each of those before i flower stage.
:smile:


i have went to 18/6 lights and have my pumps running 24/7.
should i turn off the pumps now that all the roots have reached the nutes/water?


thanks for the info SICC. i just posted a link there.


i will be updating the progress with pics probibly tommorrow.

i went to hydro store to pic up some more nutes and other stuff. this is my third or fourth trip there, and spent a good amount. so they gave my a bottle botanicare hydroplex (this will replace the awsome blossom when it runs out) for free!!
and i bought cal mag to replace magicali.





now i get the second room set up for grow room and use 1st room for flowering. i replaced the panda film on the walls with 4x25 ft. 1 mil. milar.






now it's time to take the clones. 2 from each of the 7 mix bag seeds, from the 2nd nodes.





home depot had these 65 watt sprials for 14$ they are the larger than usual 65 watters. about 8 inches long.
bought 4 only showing 3 in pic. some more ceiling hooks and 2 more shop lights with clamps, and 2-2 way bulb sockets.



and now this is how i have it set up now. the flower room has 1 tote with 6 plants 5 1/2 weeks old, that have been cloned. i took out the 396 gal ph pump. and put up 4 of the 65 watt bulbs with red spectrum.



grow room set up. the am s-skunk and mix seeds have been up graded to rooting nutes of thrive red and root 66. sparying thrive green on leaves once. i got alittle burn on the tips of 2 of them. not sure if it was the new nutes or the thrive green spray,but they look like they will recover ok.



the big plant and big bud clone will stay in the grow room for clones. i have removed the 396 pump from the tote,since both of the plants roots have reached the nutes. i forgot to mention i bought a ppm meter for 35$. the 6 in the flower room have a ppm of 800, the big bag seed and big bud clone are ppm 645 and the s-skunk and am mix ppm is 210.




and just a pic of the last of the outdoors grow. and citrus smelling strain. can wait to taste it!!:bigjoint:



feel free to comment.

so the s-skunk and AM mix seeds are doing well.and have been put into grow stage with grow nutes at 2/3 strenth.

super skunk



AM mix





here is the big bud clone




after 10 days in the clone container, here is the bag seed clones after i took the males out.



these are the bag seed plants 10 days into flower.






i had to pull 3 plants and trash 6 clones because they were males.

some close ups of the remaining 4 bag seed plants.

well i found another male..my biggest plant just showed its nuts. so to the mulch pile it goes along with the clone from that plant. that leaves 4 clones left.i had just changed nutes in the tote so i added the nutes to the 1 tote left in flower and added a second air stone to accomidate the extra water. now im down to 3 out of 12 that sprouted that are females.

also i have tiny bugs with web on my big bud clone. so i mixed soap and water in a spray bottle and sprayed them twice in 3 days. i hope that kills them or i will have to get a bug fog.

the bag seed clones are wilted from the root nutes. but have so good root growth. so today i will change the nutes to grow nutes to perk them back up.

the super skunk and AM mix seeds are doing well. 1 tank with 2 AM mix have root touching the nutes and water so i took the water pump out. and i am waiting for 1 plant in the skunk and am mix to touch the water then i will do the same for that tote.

i wil take pics today. and have them up by tommorrow.:bigjoint:

...alright
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!


first the am mix seeds:
i have cut 2 clones and topped all 4 plants. i decided to put them into flower.





the bagseed plants 4 weeks into flower.









the super skunk got a little burn when i put them in the grow nutes. i still need to perfect the nutes amounts i guess.:eyesmoke: but they have recovered just fine. 1 plant i cut the top at the 3 node for a 4 cola plant. hope it's a girl........






the bagseed clones had some issues from the transfer from clone box to root stage. next time i will try not using nutes when they first go into the tote. i am down to 3 bagseed clones and they are starting to show good improvement since they went to grow nutes.



here are the am mix and super skunk clones. i already lost 1. i think it was too early to cut that 1. these are 4 days in the clone box.




i ordered a ozone generator. it is a 5500 sf generator in a 1000 sf room so i run it for 15 min an hour. it will take care of any smell of the flowering plants and when i harvest and dry.



i was bored the last few weeks so it was time to buy a 8 bag 1 gal bubble bags with drying screens from ebay.:mrgreen:




and the result!!!!! five grades of some awsome turds! from 6 strains of great buds!! :weed: bongsmilie:eyesmoke: six hours later................







can i get some rep.????? lol
