What do you mean Training? Is that how he gets the branches n whatnot to spread nicely, and grow strong without colapsing on itself with string? Or am I completely misunderstanding the prharse? Sorry, I'm a rookie to these forums, but I'm just trying to learn as much as I can :). Either way, it looks great man! I'm impressed.
Yeah that's what called LST (Low Stress Training).
It's the technique of bending the plants main stem during vegging so it could grow in a particular fashion.

What's up everybody :mrgreen:
Just took some pics of the clone box with my veggies in it. The eggplant and jalapenos are doing excellent. I also added 5 purple clones because I decided to chop the larger purple plant. She was just looking kinda sickly and I would rather let the Church plant soak up the light. So the purple plant was cut into 5 clones which were dipped into Green Light brand rooting powder and then into rockwool cubes. They have one 23 watt 6500°K CFL above them. They look a little funny because of the way the purple plant was trained, all the clones were like right angles when I cut them hahah.

The eggplant and jalapenos are 3 weeks 6 days old. The purple clones were cut yesterday.

Jalapeno peppers:








Here is a pic of the 5 purple clones and one of the rooting powder that I used.





Let me know what you all think! I will post some pics of the flowering stuff later on today so make sure to check backbongsmilie Have a good one

Alright so here are some shots of the flowering box. Down to four plants now since I got rid of the big purple plant. I am really getting frustrated with this church plant. It is losing leaves like crazy and I don't know why... It looks like a mag deficiency but there are brown tips...? Can there be a nute burn and a deficiency at one time? I'll let the pics do the talking I guess, feel free to comment!

We'll start off with two pics of the flowering box. First is a side view and second is kind of a top view:





The Church, annoying yellowing leaves. Please let me know what you guys think could be causing this










The two purple plants in soil. They are both 2 weeks 6 days old and looking pretty good, I just fed them today










Here is the purple plant in my diy ebb and flow. This plant is the same age as the above purple plants.

Hey Tom, you mentioned you used bushmasters on the Church, did you spray it or add it to the soil. Maybe you need a flush.

I've also been getting yellowing leaves a bit prematurely, so I flushed both of my White Rhino's yesterday.. We'll see this week how it turns out..
Yours look like Nutrient Deficiency to me.. which probably means your PH is off balanced too like mine was, and your plants aren't taking in Nutes.
Flush and start the normal watering cycle again..

Cheers bro,

Tom, how come you chop the leafs in half when you cut your clones? i have seen a few people do this on here

I was thinking the same thing, just gotta get some calibrating solution so i can use this pH meter. I did give her a flush though and she is looking a little better today. Thanks a lot dude bongsmilie

looking goood. i like your grow box. looks like you put sum real effort into it.
Thanks man it took some time but it was well worth it

I cut the fan leaves in half so that the plant doesn't need to use as much water to keep the leaves up. It also helps the plant to kick out roots

Alright, I'll keep on checking to see how the flush did.. And thanks for the rep bro :D
Very soon I'll have 3 blocks.. just a matter of time.. :p

And unfortunately... You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to tom__420 again. ;)

I have heard that rooting gel is the best way to go because the powder doesn't spread out effectively.... have you heard anything like this??

I like the powder more because it evenly coats the cutting and stays on for a while. The gel just gets washed away whenever I water
