NICE!

I haven't seen any of your other grows, so I just have a few questions. How many plants do you have in each pic? is each one a separate tent? Is each tent the same strain? How long do you generally veg, or is there a certain clue you use to figure when to flip?

I think that's about it :) Thanks!

Depends,

I have 5 plants under the Granddaddy Purple and Critical Kush. The Strawberry Glue net has 9 (6 are strawberry glue). The Critical+ 2.0 has 9.

It takes about a week and a half longer to get the plants big enough to flip with 5 vs 9. Generally I try to run one strain (even more specifically same clone) under one net.

As for vegging I will take a rooted clone, veg it in a solo cup mixed with perlite/myke or coco/perlite/myke on a flood table for about 2 or 3 weeks. Then ill move them into a 1g gal for 1 or 2 weeks. (total 1 month). Lastly they will be moved to the 5gal flood buckets /ebb and flow buckets and vegged and allowed to recover for 2 - 3weeks,depending on what size you want.

Have you tried monster cropping? When I finally decided to try cloning, I had plants 3 weeks into flower, out of 4 snipped I have 2 still alive, and one starting to have crazy round leaves (about 4 weeks old). I guess my main concern is when to start feeding them on a "veg" schedule. they are in good soil and getting a few nutes that would be safe for seedlings, but all I can find in tutorials is how to get them started ;) It's like they leave out the chapter of getting it to a 'regular grow'.

I have not, I do top but not like the way you use on your forum post.

What kind of information are you looking for?

Generally when you reveg or clone from flowering plants you will have weird growth patterns. They also seem to stall initially from the shock. Try taking the clones a little sooner, like 1 week into flower (if you have to do it while they are flowering)

Thanks, I was basically asking for any "care and feeding" tips. That's all. I don't plan to do this in the future (flower-clones) unless it is amazing. I was just going to prune a few shoots anyway, and figured since it CAN be done I would see if ME could do it :)

I'll post a pic and some more info on my thread.

And my Critical+ 2.0 is just the most even canopy I've had with them. Only issue is the yellowing, which I believe was due to having the flood cycle after my other bigger section, they probably hoarded all the nutes. They still have 4 weeks left.

Completely emptied my grow tent and cleaned it all up. I setup a sloped floor (was using square pieces of wood under the buckets) and put orca film over it. Centered the carbon filter at the roof and moved the Dehumidifier to the front center.

I purchased 2 new Sunstream CMH 945w open reflectors. They are replacing my 1000w se hps. These units can run double ended 630w/945w CMH or double ended 600w/750w/1000w HPS bulbs.

These particular units came with the wrong bulbs of 4k color. Emailed the company and they are sending me 3k color.

I'll probably switch to 3k 630w CMH bulbs for summer as I'm sure heat will be an issue. As for now the tent is running at a nice 24c.

Because I splurged on the better Gorrilla Grow Tent its 8ft tall and I was able to hang these lights up high around the same as the carbon filter.allowing the heat to be sucked up leaving a nice cool lower section.

Connected all the buckets and transplanted all the new girls.

Ive got 9 Blue Kush on the left side and 2 Chocolopez, 4 Sour Diesel and 3 Liberty Haze on the right side.

Well i started flower 3 days ago and things are going to really start developing soon. About 1/2 these strains are 50days or less.
Sour Diesel, Chocolopez and Liberty Haze. This is my longer flowering sativa screen on one half of the net. These are 65-70 day finishers. 31 total Tops

My Blue Kush screen on the other half of the net. I started out with 9 plants, found 1 male and moved one of the biggest females to a net that I needed one more plant. 30 total tops for the screen.
