600w 4x4 tons of pics! Perpetual grow....

So I'm going to say this is my first "real" indoor grow, my last plant just finished but that was more practice than growing. My outdoor plants are 2 weeks from harvest but this thread is for my indoor setup only.

Input is always welcomed, if something looks messed up please let me know, I'm high... so things get missed. I take pictures to help me log my grow so I will e updating with pictures regularly.


Nutes, Soil & Stuff:
Whitney Farms Soil
Perlite
Chicken & Goat Compost
AN Sensi Grow/Bloom A&B
AN Bud Candy
Black Strap Molasses

Veg Stuff:
2'x4' Tent
2' 4 bulb T5 (Clones)
400w MH (Veg)

Flower Stuff:
4'x4' Tent
600w HPS w/ air cooled hood
500CFM Fan w/ speed controller
fans, etc.

Ok, here are the pictures...

The Veg Tent:
All of these were taken right after watering, so a couple may look droopy, but they are all healthy.

These are all clones that just came out of the clone box from what I have in flower now. These are my second attempts at cloning. So far I only have only lost one.

(Northern Blue, Mendo Purp, Black Widow & Trinity)


These 3 were my first attempt at cloning, I lost one of the 4 I cut. I think I was too conservative and didn't cut enough.

(More clones and an Aurora Indica from seed)



The Flower Tent:
I just put these in here yesterday some are adapting better than others, bur nothing more than some drying in the leaf tips.

(Mendo Purp & Trinity from seed; Mendo Purp, Black Widow & Northern Blue clones)

Very nice man. Im growin in the exact same space as you.

What r ur temps in the veg tent? How r u cooling it? Just an exhaust fan?

Stop by my grow if u want. Links in the sig

looks great! im doing my first indoor grow as well. how long will u vegg?

I live on the Oregon Coast so my indoor temps are moderate all year long. The highest temps I had during summer were in the high 80's for an hour or two. I average 75-79 for the most part and about 60 at night. I only use my 500cfm blower and I pull passive air from, outside.

My Veg Tent stays a bit warmer but only by a couple degrees.

I Veg until they hit 18" give or take. That gives me some wiggle room in my flower area. I am running bunch of different strains I haven't grown yet so I don't know if they will have some kind of crazy growth spurt.

I do have a shit ton of different seeds now too.

Question?

So, I have been taking cuttings from my clones to keep that going. Will I see any degradation in the plant itself after too many cuttings?

Depends on how many cuts your taking... but you should be ok as long as you use common sense.

by too many cuttings I mean generational. If I cut from a clone then cut from its clone and so on. I am sure at some point there will be an issue I just don't know how lmany generations to expect.

Update:
Ok, so not much to report, buds are showing for sure and getting bigger each day. I took out my "Northern Blue" clone, it as all leggey and thin, just didn't perform well. I still have a cutting from it and maybe I will throw it in there soon and see how it goes, but for now I would like to avoid the headache (if it wants to be one)

The rest of them (2x Mendo Purp, Black Window & Trinity) have all been supercropped and a bunch of bending and stuff to make the canopy even-ish. My Black Widow isn't that big but it's performing well. All of them are sitting at just about 26" tall.

I have a male Purp outside now and I am going to be collecting some pollen from that bad boy and get some seeds on a single lower branch I left on my clone.

I have 2 more waiting in the wings to go in, just giving them until the first week of November.

I just harvested my hash plant from my greenhouse, going to make some bubble hash today. I have about 10oz of trimmed wet bud (for my first run) then a bit more than that (14oz-ish) I kept a couple of the nice buds for smoke, but it was some bag seed that I knew was really resinous (just not suited for Oregon weather) and it got really fluffy. My other plant is coming down at the end of the week, that's full of some nice buds, not a ton of trim on that plant... just bud.

Next year I am going to start a couple Exodus Cheese inside and have them finish up in the greenhouse. My buddy grew some exodus and had it finish up in late September so, I figure that's a good start. My greenhouse tops out over 10ft so I will be shooting for the moon with 2 plants in there.

12/12 for just over 3 Weeks

Looks good bro.

My ladies r finally finishing up. Bout to post new pics if u wanna stop by my thread

Will do man, I have checked out your thread a couple times... looks good.

made a quick batch of bubble yesterday.

Your plants look super happy dude. Noice.

thanks brother, I'm getting some good pictures here soon I just need to stop being lazy and turn off the 600 for a bit.

know what u mean m8, I need to bring in a lamp every time I want to take them pics, not much space in room to keep it permanent, and doing it while smoked is a bitch!

24 Days into Flower

The answer to this is no, you will see no degradation in your plants. It will be pretty much the exact same plant you originally cut from.

I am on clone generation 9 from my original seed mother, no difference at all.

Today is 1 month of flowering for my girls, picture are coming this afternoon.

I didn't keep a ton of track on veg time, my key with this run was to keep my canopy even (or at least attempt to do it well) so i employed a couple methods of topping and LST and I have noticed that some do better with some and not others. For the most part they went in @ 18" tall.
