There's really no plans for this, just kind of listening to the plants and adjusting as they go along. Started with 2 bag seeds, been practicing topping and cloning for a few weeks now.

Very nice, I hope your grow turns out as well or better than mine did. Yea, I did that this grow. I didn't even write down dates, just trying to listen to my plants. It didn't go perfectly, but still went better than I expected. I'm maybe 2 weeks from harvesting the biggest buds I've ever grown.

Best of luck to you!!! :leaf:

In case anyone's wondering, those are two security lights wrapped in foil to direct the light down instead of having it diffuse out the sides. Adding the foil made a noticeable and immediate difference. It's a 70W HPS and a 100W MH.

This is the favorite out of the two plants that came from seed. It was topped once there was enough to make a clone, four branches started, and the top two branches were taken as clones as soon as they were large enough.

This thing looks like some sort of mutant. It's one of the original two seeds.

Here's the first clone that was taken from it.

And subsequent clones that have been taken from it.

Time-wise, not sure. It's been take anything that seems large enough to make a clone out of while trying not to kill off the original.

Nice. What did the 70w set you back? or was it on the side of a business?(just kidding. or am I?)

I've been considering finding an ex security light in the 70-150 watt range... saw on ebay they are around 70 bucks, but thats quite a bit if you need a bunch of them for different closets/different strands..

They are getting bushy!

Not sure what this is. My first guess was nitrogen toxicity since the tips of other leaves are burnt along with the edges of some leaves. The newest sets of leaves are also a noticeably darker green than existing leaves and of the leaves from a clone taken from this plant.

In the photo, it kind of looks like mold to me though.

Started by trimming the lower part of the plant, "lollipoping" I believe it's called. During light hours there is an osculating fan blowing plenty of air around, however during dark hours it's just a duct blowing in cool air from an AC vent, and some computer fans making minimum breeze, this is going to change, dark time needs more air movement. The AC was just added this weekend, so I'm not sure how that figures in yet.

if i'm not mistaking- th a/c brings in alot of moist, that could have caused the mold. i would turn of the a/c at the dark hours and just leav the vent fan.

Mold/fungus cleared up. Started pulling the AC duct off at night, only watering first thing in the morning and watering less at a time every day instead of soaking them every 2-3 days.

It's kind of early in the morning, but if I'm not mistaken this will turn out to be 6-8 branches. :grin:

Looks like it's definitely getting 6 colas.

This other seed was definitely from a different strain. It grows a lot faster and stretches more than the other plant. I got rid of all but the original clone from the plant, and decided to throw it under the cabinet on 12/12 just to see what happens with it. I'm pondering trying to force it to turn hermi, thinking it will lead to a bunch of seeds to experiment with.

It's amazing how the long branches could be tied down with their foliage facing the ground, and maybe 3 hours later the plant had righted itself.
