Thanks guys, I was a little worried they were stunted. I got a clone from a friend with mites, I've had it dealt with for some time now but it was probably 2 weeks with them. Only the Black Widow showed signs of spotting.

Ok, it's day 47 of flower and everyone is doing great.

Just fed them today and grabbed a couple pictures. The Mendo Purp is getting closer than the rest (It seems to finish early I guess) so no nutes for her until harvest, I think this is also my last feeding for the rest of them too (probably another feeding for the widow)

I did throw in some Northern Blue clones last week, I figured I would let them stretch while the others are finishing up. Seems to be working out fine for now.

Getting ready to build a 8x8x8 room in my garage, it will give me a little more room to work with and I would like to get my dehumidifier out of that tent. So, probably get it done this week or next.

Thanks. I took a small lower off yesterday and quick dried it, not bad. The.taste is sweet.

I took 2 cuttings from each plant that is in flower now (plus 2 northern blue climes from another plant) so hopefully I can keep it in my rotation for a while.

yeh ive taken a couple hundred cuttings and had pretty decent sucess rate but this last time i lost like 20 babes, i think they shocked from the cooler temps , so i hated to trash em all but i did, got a seedling mat and took new ones about 4 days ago and put them in a lighted cabinet so they can stay warmer and i think these are gonna be fine, btw i got a new update up u might wana check it . critical jack is looking good.

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)

looks good! nice set up! i'd shove a few more plants in the tent but i like it tall and messy! :)

are those 3 gallon smart pots? i've got a bunch of flowering plants in 2 gallon smart pots and i'm still trying to figure out why i bought 2 gallon instead of 3 gallon bags! :lol:

i keep eyeing one of those fans. how do you like it? does it produce a good air flow over the plants?

just to show you what i do in a tent! this is mine at 17 days flower. i like it tall and messy! :)

the tent is almost 5 foot sq with a 600 Watt! some people say it's too crowded growing like this, i thank them for their opinion and pull an average of 16 oz every 90 days!

got a bunch of 3 gallon smart pots on Amazon, I had some 5 gallon pots but they were just too heavy to move around even with handles it was a bit awkward. I have one 3 gallon and one 5 gallon (same seeds) going now, I don't see any difference. I will be sticking with the 3 gallons for now (unless I try and keep a mother or something).

I have 4 full grown now and 2 that just started in the back. I feel like I need more space for sure but I think 4 full grown under there will do me good.

I got the fan on amazon for $28 It's great. Only complaint, it has lights on the top so you will need to put tape over them. Otherwise it's great. the base is the size of a 5 gallon bucket but if you were creative you could get it down to a pretty small form factor.

i made a decision while high and got 18, 2 gallon smart pots and 1, 5 gall. i was shocked at how much smaller the smart pots are than 2 gallon grow bags. much smaller. i'm thinking that with a 70 day flower a 3 gallon would be about right. i got a bunch of .3 gallon air pots and one 2.4 gallon. i'm trying to tweek my grow a bit without actually having to put in any effort! i'm funny like that! :)

i'm going to get one of those fans. i need something for my veg closet and the normal fans don't cut it.

i've got 19 plants shoved in there! lol

hoy shit, 19 is pushing it. I live in Oregon, my 6 plant max makes it impossible to adjust and try something with multiple small plants. That's why I'm just vegging for 6-8 weeks and running it perpetually.

I have 10 nice sized clones in my veg room now. 4 are going in there next month then I have 6... Don't know what I'm gong to do with those ones yet. Probably give them to some friends or trade them for some other strains.

I'm going to crack some Exodus Cheese seeds next week so I can have some clones and smoke for the spring outdoor planting.

i really need to get a cheese genetic. i keep hearing about it.
i made a bunch of crosses over the years and never grew them out so i decided to plant a bunch of them over the next few years. i have seeds i made around 1997 that are just now being grown out for the first time.

i've been smoking and or growing pot since 1969 so i'm not really thinking about plant limits at the moment. when you spend most of your life doing illegal things... besides, i'm retired, haven't been in trouble since 1972 and don't sell. i'm hoping the law has better things to do than bother me! :)

I grew a cheese outside last year. nice smoke, the smell makes you want to vomit at around week 5 of flower, then it smoothed out to finish. I grew from seed in my greenhouse before, this year they will be in there again but I will be able to give them a head start.

arizona allows green house grows but only if they are locked up! i'd love to do one. i looked into it but i want to stay in the phoenix area and it's just too damned hot! i keep thinking of moving up to flagstaff. i'm getting tired of blue skys and 110 days.

I go to Phoenix every year for spring training with my dad, the weather is nice for a vacation.

I never liked Flagstaff, when I was there last we came up from Phoenix in shorts and it was 40* colder in Flagstaff. Froze my ass off.

i'm from southern ontario so snow and cold weather call to me! unfortunately, i'm afraid i'd move up there and then remember that i hated cold and snow!
yeah spring time is nice here! summers are brutal though. they didn't bother me when i was younger now they annoy me! i used to golf at 1 p.m. in the middle of july. it was easy to get a tee time! lol

I haven't been there in July, probably never will be. Early May is nice.

I usually stay at the Hilton Tapatio Cliffs in Pioria, my dad loves to golf so we usually hit the links there.
