1st Clone Grow, Remo Nutes: Orange Punch, Critical Kush, Gorilla Skittlz

[MackMurder]

So this grow i will be using cuttings from my own mothers. I usually grow from seed so this will be a new adventure for me.

For my first 4 grows I used GH nutes, I have now switched to REMO nutrients and will be feeding the entire lineup (courtesy of REMO and 420magazine) at around half strength to get a feel for the product.

Great looking roots on those clones! I'll keep checking back. I have had great luck with clones of some Sativa dominant hybrids and have found I take about a month or even 5 weeks off my grow time from seeds.

16: days since transplant

These clones really have a mind of their own. Some go straight up some are turning into low flat bushes no fim or top required.

(Should mention im into early bloom but late on the journal)

26 days since transplant

I'm still only useing half strength of the recommended from the entire lineup of REMO

-MAGNIFICAL
-VELOKELP (kelp, amino acid, vitamins)
-MICRO
-BLOOM
-ASTRO FLOWER (bloom booster)
-NATURES CANDY (humic acids and whatnot)

-PH around 6.3-6.4
-TDS is around 800ppm
I'm not like most people who keep pushing their EC or TDS to the limit until half the leaf is burnt to a crisp ill keep it half strength until they tell me otherwise. Doing this never hurt my end result with GH and im hoping the same for REMO.

2 days since flipping to 12/12
-this is a good shot to give you an idea of my light setup.
-LUMA B4 citizen 1212 cob 3500k
-KINGBRITE (Alibaba) QB 3500k +IR & UV
-315 watt CMH philips 4100k & XAMT 3100k

(I can't tell the difference between a 50 dollar xamt bulb and a 100 dollar phillips and neither can my plants where it would make any difference.

As you can see those 2 tall bonzais are the 2 mothers i threw into flower
GORILLA SKITTLZ and SWEET ZOMBIE.
the high THC levels and flavour was there but not the yield I was looking for. I believe in having yeild, flavour and quality in each plant as a total package and refuse to sacrifice one for the other at the moment.

I did keep my
Dutch passion - critical orange punch
Barneys farm - critical kush
And will be adding
Dutch passion - passion fruit for my next round

1 DAY SINCE FIRST PISTILS

If you've never seen my grow journals before you'll realize I defoliate 2 or 3 times through out a 3 month cycle. And not just a few leaves here or there, I completely butcher my plants.

As you can see it doesn't harm my plants in any way shape or form they absolutely love the abuse..
I wouldn't recommend this if your grow is not going 80% perfect. Only do this with extremely healthy plants.

6 DAYS: since first pistils
6 DAYS: since defoliation

As you can see its only been 6 days and they went from butchered to beauties. Healthy plants love being defoliated and stressed.

I also tool this time to lollipop the lower growth I dont want.

13 DAYS : SINCE PISTILS
13 DAYS : SINCE DEFOLIATION

 

[MackMurder]

20 DAYS : SINCE FIRST PISTILS
Did my last and final heavy defoliation today.
Again I wouldn't defoliate like this unless your plants are healthy

 

[Dan Dark]

Yowzaaaa! Beauties all!

 

[MackMurder]

24 DAYS: SINCE FIRST PISTILS

The plants responded very well to the final defoliation. Alot of budsights open to direct light and air movement now. It'll be easy street from here on out

 

[MackMurder]

Yowzaaaa! Beauties all!
