Whats up everyone, thanks for all the good vibes! My plants appreciate it, they are looking happy as could be for the most part. Growing a noticeable amount pretty much every day. The clones are still alve, most of them look good, growin slow still, I only lost one from the transplant, but they are all in cups of hydroton now. I've got about 10-15 of them, I forgot to count. On the plus side, I know all my clones are females.

Unfortunately gypsy I havn't talked to King in a few months, I might try to get a hold of him, see how things are going. I'm sure he's cool, he's pretty resourceful.

So I've tallked about pics the last few times i've posted so I finally took a couple. Not like my old 10-15 picture posts, but heres a few for you guys.








Two are of my WW, the other 2 are of the 2 mango plants. I like the way the mangos are budding, but the WW still looks frosty and delicious, I love the way the WW smells too. All of them are about 4 weeks since they showed sex, about 5 since I changed the lights. I'll try to post up more often, hopw you guys enjoy the pics! About to smoke a bowl, so I'll catch you guys latta, and I always smoke one for RIU!! Peace TC

Nice set of plants TC. Shame about having to move again, I'm glad we own our place. I'm getting ready to do a major remodel since we sold our other place and have some cash now...

Hey guys so its been just over a week since harvest. I took the buds out of the paper bags last night, and stuck them in some jars and bags. I ended up getting about 6.75 oz from the 3 plants. Over 3.5 of that was from my ww the rest from the mangos. Thats about where I expected to be at with the ph issues I had and all. The next batch is already looking great. One plant at about 3-3.5 weeks, 3 more mangos at a week and a half. The latest clones are looking great, about to put them into cups to spread their roots. I'll be putting 3 more mangos into the flood trays today aswell. I've got several WW clones, and after they take root well, and I take another batch off their mom, I'll put her into the flood tray too. So in the next 7-8 weeks I should have a 2-3 week cycle going with clones in the flood trays. lol just intime to move in july!!! yay!! But with luck I'll be moving to a better place, and I'll have a whole tray fulll of clones ready to go!! So heres some coffee table pics of the latest batch! First pic should be the Mango, second the WW.





The WW is great as usual, mango is decent. One of the mango plants had alot more taste and smell. I think the ph issues effected the other much more. I'm gonna try to prevent that from happening this time. Hope you guys enjoy and things are well. Peace TC

chronic, littlegrower, whats up guys thanks for swingin over here. Ya it sucks that as soon as i get the perpetual thing worked out, i'm gonna have to move again. However i've learned alot in the last 9 months, and should have enough clones to fill one if not both of my trays at that point.

I put 4 more clones into the flood tray yesterday, including a WW i didn't realize i even had, woot!! I've got a ww mom still vegging for more clones, and about 20 or so rooted clones I put into cups for the next 2 weeks or so. 3 ww 17-18 mango, I, gonna take some more clones thursday off the plants i just put into flower, and get the rooting too. So before long i'lll have clones coming out my ass like gypsy! lol.

I'll take some pics of the whole setup thursday for ya. peace TC

I just got the perpetual going great and now I'm moving too. I've all but shut down the bud room as the house will be having showings and i can't control the oder that well. I have been slowly reducing numbers and will try to get up and running again when the move is complete. Good luck.....

Ya moving sucks!!!

But each time I've moved things have gotten more organized, and better planned. With any hope this time will be the best yet. I'm gonna try to be extra prepared, even gonna rent the new place atleast a month before hand, so I can get everything moved and situated easily. Heres some pictures of the girls. Everything is finally going well, and working out. The clones are doing great, and the flowering girls are happy as can be!! THe close ups are of the one mango that is about 3.5 weeks flowering. The other large plants in the trays are at about 2 weeks.
* Both time frames are from when they began to show female flowers.

The rest of the pics are of the new clones I just put in a few days ago. 3 more mangos, and one WW. I'm gonna clone that WW this week, along with my other WW mom. Thats the large vegging plant in the pics. Then the clones are mostly Mango, of both phenos mixed. There are 3 WW thankfully. The plan is to clone the mom and the flowering girl, then once the 3 little clones are big enough, clone them all, and flower the mom before I move hopefully. We'll see how the timeing works out, but I'd like to have a good 10-15 WW clones by the time I move. Well heres the pics finally! :)



















Hehe hope it doesn't take to long to load!! Little more like the old thundercat huh!! I'm feeling a bit more like the old thundercat, and hopefully my plants will show that! Peace TC

Lol, its something I cut about 2 weeks ago.......need to do some clean up! I'm on vacation for the next 7 days WOOT!! Gonna take some clones tomorrow, and do that clean up. I need to get my hydroton washed, and ready for more clones. I'm gonna prolly have 2-4 more ready to go straight into trays in about a week, then others I'll hold off for another 2-3 weeks. By then I should have a nice batch of widow clones again! Wait till the next pics, they are growing like crazy! Way better then the last batch I think. The Mango is totally covered in resin, and really beefing up!

Whats goin on guys!!

The garden is flourishing! The oldest mango is about 7 weeks since it showed flowers, and is looking fantastic. Without the PH issues this time, the one pheno that smelled more is covered in resin this time, and smells great. Heres some pics, the WW is the white one in the corner and she is only 4 weeks. I'll be back later with a better update















peace

Ok, so here's the better update! As I said the one mango in the corner (with the purple leaves) is at about 7 weeks since buds started, and looking great!! I think that it has about another week or so. I am going to check the trichs sometime this week just to see how they are looking. I'm in no hurry. The other Mangos (the tall ones in the pictures) are about a week and a half to two weeks behind that.
I hit the hydro shop a few weeks ago and I got a new Eye Hortilux super HPS, so I finally have a new bulb instead of the hand me down bulb that I have been using. I also picked up more of the Envy nutes which the plants seem to really enjoy. I have been mixing Fox Farms solubles with the Envy to bulk it up. I finally got a new PPM meter and found out that the plants apparently love about 1800 PPM. It seems kinda high to me but it's working pretty well. Nothing is burning and the plants seem to be using nutes out of the leaves as they flower.
Yesterday, after I took the pics, I added 4 of the good Mango phenos 1 WW clone and the WW mom to the flower room. I have 2 6" WW clones, 5 more that just took root and got transplanted into cups, and about 10 more that I took off of the mom yesterday. So from here on out, until I get more genetics, it will be mostly WW now that I have it going more perpetual.
And before you mention it 5 O'clock, yes that stump is still in the background in the pictures but I did FINALLY get rid of it yesterday. I also cleaned up some other things and started cleaning my used hydroton because I'm going to need more soon.
This is going to be the last batch that I put into the flower room until shortly before I move. I am goihng to build up a 'Clone Army' to take with me and start the grow at the next house. I hope for the best with all of your gardens, have a good night!

Peace--TC

switched over from those LEDs to a 600w HPS so ive had to make a huge difference in temp control and proper ventilation. finally got it to a manageable temp and got some plants just now taking on full growth. stop by whenever you get a chance, your always welcome!!

excellent man, glad your getting things figured out!


So the WW mom is looking sweet already. She is responding very well to the trimming, and the LST I did. I'll get some pics in a few days, but she iis gonna be a little bush. You know I like my bushes!!! All the other clones seem to have taken the transplant very well. Looking nice and perky!
