I only have 6 ft to work with in height.
My two 1200watt led mars hydro was shipped today so i plan on flowering 7-10 days. Thanks guys!

There we go! They are looking much happier and healthier now. Are you gonna take any clones of them before you flower so you will have a new batch to work with after you harvest these girls?

I love your nutrient choice, smart smart man going with the beneficials, you can give them credit for your nice recovery, way to go, Mycorrhizal fungi can take months to give you the full benefit, I would even out the canopy by taking the tops off and cloning them, so you have some moms for the next run, and you can also pick the best smoke and keep that mom and ditch the rest in favour of another strain.

Main thing no is to top and train, look around on 420 there are lots of how to threads on the subject.

Think about flowering nutrients as well, they should be lower in Nitrogen, but I am sure the line of nutes you have now has a flowering solution for you.

Also if you do not have an extraction fan get one you will need to prepare for some serious heat issues with your LED setup.

Things seem to be coming along nicely. Keep up the good work!

If you have a 6 ft. max ceiling, I would say start the flowering cycle when the largest one is around 2~2.5 ft. tall. That way, even if it doubles in size, you won't have your colas touching the lights.

Does that 6 ft. ceiling take into consideration the hanging light? If not, you may want to flower sooner than later, especially if you're not training the ladies down and out.

Thanks for all the support guys! I just put some weights on them.
IS it better to not pull clones off them before I put them in my flower tent?

IS it better to not pull clones off them before I put them in my flower tent?

Yes... Way better. Flowering clones are a pain in the ass. The have to switch back to veg, then grow roots.

 

[Tead]

OH! Misread that... Pull clones before flowering.

 

[Kingskush]

Is it a bad idea to pull clones now though from these ladies, and how long should i wait to flower after i pull clones, thanks friendos!

 

[Meta tron]

You can take clones before flower, I would take the tops just above a node, and wait a week before flower.

 

[Kingskush]

Okay thanks fella's heres more views of them being trained.

 

[Tead]

Do you plan on doing any topping or other cutting techniques? If so, that action will generate clone material. I never cut specifically to take clones.... I cut for other reasons and use the cuttings as clones.

Hey buds!
I mainly wanted to clone the Heisenberg,
Clones 5 Heisenberg, 2 white widow, and 1 Pineapple Express.
Vegging for another wk.

Any other suggestions? ( clones were taken from lower canopy)

 

[Tead]

Wow... nice cloner.
I usually take much smaller clones using just the top leaf set / node site for clones. Great looking... just bigger than I do.

 

[Meta tron]

I usually wait till I can take a clone with a minimum 2 nodes, I find I get better results that way, not any faster rooting but they do explode with growth compared to smaller clones after they root.

 

[Tead]

I usually cut growth off the 2nd node site, cover that area with rooting goo and plant it below the soil level. The cleaned node set is supposed to be another very active rooting area. That's the idea at least.
I can sure see how 2 or 3 leaf sets could help out once the roots get going. I may start taking longer clones.

 

[Meta tron]

If you top at 5 nodes just wait for 8, and do like you said, I recently topped some deep Chunkolate the one stem was 3/8" across, likely the biggest clone I took on purpose LOL.

This one was deep chunk dominant with massive fan leaves, I saved a fan leaf that wouldn't even fit in a 8" x 11" book had to scrunch the leaflets together and the whole plant was still only 18" tall, I am super impressed with Cannacopia's genetics so far

Thanks for tagging along on this journal Ppl!

Everything is going as planned.. I'll post some updated photos when they become available.

I also have some Barneys Farm Seeds that popped the other day that I'll post too!

What should I look for on the clones to know if roots will Start to form?

 

[Tead]

New growth will start as soon as it has a bit of roots going. That's my indicator.

 

[Meta tron]

In your cloner just pull them out and have a quick look after a few days, should take around ten though.

 

[Kingskush]

Here's the babies bottoms! LoL!
Their on a 15min on/off cycle.
