Closet CFL grow on the low (Attempt #2)

Disaster struck. The wire I was using to LST wasn't flexible enough I guess and it cut into the stems pretty harshly, especially on The Doctor. It's 2 main stems got severed, so it's tiny now. I've removed all the wire from my plants now. The doctor isn't big enough to train now, it's too compact, and I don't want to mess with it since it's in flowering. For the Kandy Kush I made a small ScrOG screen using the LST holes in the pot. I really like the ease of the ScrOG and will most likely definitely be using it on all my plants from now on. I'm on day 4 of flowering now. I'm starting to see pre-flowers I think. Included the best pictures of them I could get to see if any one can tell if male or female. I have a sinking feeling that the Kandy Kush plant is male. The Doctor was a feminized seed so it should be female. The DWC cloner I built did not work, the clones I placed in it died within days. Going to have to keep working on it. I went to Big Lots and found some herb garden starter kits that came with seed starting pellets. I'm now attempting to clone with it. The two main stems that got severed off of The Doctor got placed in the cloning kit too, to see if I can at least salvage them.

Any feedback is welcome, especially for the clones or pre-flowers.

The Kandy Kush turned out male, so it's been pulled and disposed of. The Doctor is starting to show flowers. I have 2 more seeds on their way of which I'll start one of them when they get here. The Doctor is now on day 13 of flowering. Not expecting a huge yield, no where near an oz, but I'd be happy with a solid half oz. Going to start trying to figure out what went wrong with my cloner using some tomatoes or something and hopefully get that fixed so I can then just use clones instead of having to keep ordering seeds.

21 days since I switched to 12/12. Buds are popping up everywhere. Not a whole lot of vertical growth lately, but the buds are getting noticeably bigger every day. Starting to smell a bit, too. Hoping to be able to harvest around the last week of October/first week of November. Most likely the last week of October so I can really bring out the Sativa in this strain. Still waiting on new seeds to arrive.

One of the main colas.



Some side buds.

Day 35 of 12/12. The smell is getting more noticeable by the day, you can definitely tell this strain has some skunk crossed in. The plan for the moment is to harvest on Halloween, just a little early to get more of a head high from the bud. I acquired a 60x microscope to check the trichomes, looking like 65% clear, 34% cloudy, and 1% amber. Will continue giving nutes until 1 week before harvest.

I also have 2 new plants started. Going to start a journal for them soon.

Harvested today at Day 54 of 12/12. For the past two days the trichomes were starting to turn amber, so I made the decision to chop. Got around 50 grams wet, so hoping for near a 1/2 dry. This was my first grow and because of mistakes only 1/3 of the plant survived so I'm quite pleased. Now I just have to wait for the bud to dry and cure before I can enjoy.
