commando garbage grow.

alright 1 week in to 12/12 out of the way. plant adjusting well to move no trouble whatsoever. loving the new growroom and added space. havent noticed any showing of any bits yet plant is filling out everywhere. wondering what kind of mess im going to have when and if budding takes place. of the npk mixture what is most needed nutrient for budding? thinking phos but not 100% on that.

mahalo

when turning on the lights this morning, lo and behold iam working with a lady. after about a week of 12 12 i saw what to to me looks like the formation of a bud/!!!! fuckin stoked definitly going to have to get more lights to help it out but thats all right.

now that i have that out of the way. three things that i have changed. the light structure is changed to keep the stretching to a minimum. the main stalk (?) has gotten about 4 inches taller than the rest of the plant so i tied it down a bit, which should help with the light moving up a few inches. get the rest of the branches to even up with the main stalk is the idea. and lastly tied a few of the thicker stalks down. the amount of light getting to the main stalk is less than what i want but the plant digs it and i dont have to pay to much care to her.

thinking more and more about whats next. autos and more lights are about it but goddamn its a chore making a final decision on auto strains. i know i will make seeds with the auto but strains strains strains strains. if i can i will nab a 3ft t5 fixture to keep a level line on the lights but this week i saw the biggest cfl ive ever seen. 65 watts and im thinking, i like to smoke so 3 of these lights will allow me to get them autos going harder than a tweeker on viagra. any ideas on a heavy couch lock auto?

counted 8 bud sites this afternoon with 2 or 3 sites that could just be new foliage or additional buds. really looking forward to the next few weeks to see what her lady parts are going to do.
im thinking about hooking some people up with a few clones and have a few questions about whether it is a good idea to take clones from a flowering plant or not.
as it is dry as a nuns nether regions around here im thinking of pulling a cartman and freezing myself for three weeks. but as those who have seen that episode can attest to, i would probably end up 500 years in the future smack dab in the middle of a war between atheists and otters. and since im a fat bastard it would mean that i would have to break the clams on my belly. and i hate clams. mahalo

I have read that it isn't good to take clones from a plant that has switched to flowering. A mate gave me 2, one of which recovered and started healthy growth in 24/0, the other of which just didn't and went in the trash after a week.

What I saw, was that the chemical/hormonal changes that have taken place mean that any existing leaf matter will not have much of a chance and you have to rely on strong enough new growth to pull it through while you get a root system building. Lots of misting, lots of light, lots of care and 2 weeks and one of mine was good enough to go into flower (10 days in now and looking healthy).

So, it's not recommended, but definately not impossible. BTW, I like the style of writing, funny as feck and made me smile.

good bud to enjoy first thing in the morning works for me. nice amount of formation around the sweet meats. i noticed 3 diferrent branches with multiple layers of white quite noticeable little men in a boats. 10 noticeable satellites of these main stalks. she is devouring the new lights. might have to lower it some lotion. shit camera so no pictures with any detail. want a decent cam but for less than 50. not going to happen.

alright because of the possibilty of any pig shit landing in my lap, i will only post updates at random times. but right now i have great news oh followers of the cow. 22 budsites counted and all of them look to be doubling in size every three days. hoping that the plant isnt a hermie. also still looking for ideas as to what type of auto strain will paint my basckside to the couch.
