First Closet CFL Grow

Very well done FL-0
I think I will be using that to do mine
I also am going to build (with the help of my friend at the Hydro Shop) an aeroponic set up using a plastic bucket, a pump and a nozzle
We can see what works better / is easier.
I plan on making a LOT of clones being I want to keep several strains going.
We will see how many girls I get first and go from there
Thanks!
I was gonna give you some rep, but I did already and need to "spread it around more" before it will allow me to give you more lol.

I totally expect this for my first time out too.
I really am reading everything I can find on cloning so as to avoid it in the future too.
Sorting it out is another story, it seems that it is something you just learn best by doing.
Those roots are nice and pearly white too T
you have hydro pretty much down bro.
Wondering why you intend to do soil next round?
Is it just for variety's sake?

Well, there is a couple of reasons I'm doing soil. I would prefer doing a hydro setup, but I would have to redo my whole setup. My resevoir can only hold 3 plants, to add more I'd have to convert to an ebb&flow, Dwc etc. I wouldn't mind going to an ebb&flow, but dwc and aero are out of my league.

Anyways back on track, next grow I want to do 10+ plants and with that amount in that small closet, soil is the only thing that would be space effecient. I can fit 10 small 2gallon buckets in that closet no problem, with the least amount of money. Don't really want to drop another $200+ in re-doing another hydro system. I'm not throwing mine away, but once I have a steady strain that I want to have, I will clone 3 put them in the hydro system and let them be the mothers. Clip clones and plant them in soil from then on out.

Plus,
Learning to grow both ways is more knowledge then just growing one way
Knowledge is power

hey no problum, I try to think of things to try out and I hope to think of other things and try it out

i'm glad you do!!! that thread is gonna help me out my next grow. Is 2 weeks in flowering to long to do cloning? I dont want to put juana under that much stress while shes in the midst of doing her thing.

well it all depends on the strain because say if you have one that takes 12 weeks from start to finish taking a couple or few clones off of it shouldn't hurt it unless you take alot off

alright cool, i'll play it safe and not take any clones. This is from bagseed so I don't want to stress it to much and turn my femmie into a hermie. Can't bear to take down another plant.

Oh dear T, sorry about mary or should I say Martin, That looked like one very healthy plant tho

Your grow is looking fantastic bty
Not long left now T x

yeah martin was a very healthy plant. The only good thing about pulling the plant was I was able to actually pick it up and give it a BIG hug without really caring about hurting it lol. My clothes reaked of fresh green for a few minutes.

The grow op looks scraggly now with only 2 plants. Especially since 1 is growing nice and Stretch is still growing like CRAP. I'm putting all my marbles on Juana and hopefully will get a half ounce out of her.

Thanks for stopping by GG your words are always appreciated XX. TTYS

Aw, bless you, I just brushed my face against one of my girls & it stinks now
I made OH kill my males, he chopped them all down, then we put them all in a bin bag he then tied it & squoze all the air out, it almost knocked him sideways LMAO

As are yours T xxx

lol that's an awesome idea, im letting mine dry out right now in my closet and i'm gonna make some tea out if it.

If I get a male (crosses fingers to not get one) I think I will try and make some rope with the main stem.
Not a big fatty rope, but just something thin I can use to make a woven bracelet kinda hempy thing from.
Just a thought.
Hope I don't have the opportunity actually.
Anyone know how to make rope?

you should use that rope for LST. it will not stress the plant, coz it will be tied with her own people LOL

Toolage mate, sorry to hear the bad news! Although im sure you'll get a good harvest from your female for now, just a shame really

Still no signs from stretch i take it?

This is why im trying fem seeds, although i hear its still not 100% and higher chance of hermies..

yeah giggle, unfort. not even a sign of a calyx yet on stretch. i dont know wtf his problem is but I'm not liking it lol. I'll wait a couple more weeks for him to see, but if shes taking this long to show, she's gotta be female right?

I'm not to sure on sexing myself, but i hope stretch is a stretchette! I dont get what the problem is either, possibly just bad genes? I dont know, this is from bagseed i seem to remember? Could just be down to something as simple as that, but keep her growing by all means even if you just end up with a nice ornamental plant lol

lol yeah ill def keep it going, hopefully everything works out well cause i'd be torn apart to only have 1 out of 3 plants. deff will never grow bag seed again, feminised all the way!!!

If you lived cloer to me I'd hook ya up wit some clones once I get a big batch going, hopeing to get a 500 clone batch rolling, yea I know its next to impossible to do that in my room but I'm crazy enough to try pce

i use feminized seeds and have had great results -- the only caveat being - do not try to breed them or use them to get seeds because (from what i understand) fem seeds are genetically unstable.

I think many of the professional weed breeders would like to do away with them but they are too popular
