2nd Grow All Clones: Mine & Purchased

[candycane]

On 7/6/19 I took cuttings 10 from my girls I was about to flower and 8 made it I winded up keeping 2 Deadhead OG, a Green Crack, and a Blue Dream. I started them in a rapid rooter that was soaked in distilled water with a splash of kelp and superthrive and had used Clonex gel for rooting hormone. I then placed them in a humidity dome under a T8 light. 7/11/19 Deadhead OG #4 and Blue Dream rooted and I transferred them to a solo cup filled with Happy Frog , added extra pearlite mixed in good, put mykos to where roots would be touching then watered with distilled water with a light mix of kelp and superthrive. 7/12/19 Deadhead OG #5 rooted and was transferred in the same fashion as above 7/13/19 Green Crack #3 rooted and was transferred in the same fashion as above. Still under T8 lights at this time. On 7/24/19 I changed the T8 to a 600 watt full spectrum LED and added humidifier. I ordered a 4x4 tent from wish in preparation for this vegging.

On 8/1/19 I received my tent and put the girls in tent with 2 600 watt full spectrum leds placed 18" above canopy. A clip on oscillating 6" fan, and carbon filter with two 4" inline fans for intake and output. On 8/2/19 was down a 600 watt full spectrum LED because I had bestie that really needed it sooo there it went. average 72-75*F 50-65 % humidity. On 8/4/12 transferred all the girls to 5 gallon fabric pots with Happy Frog, added extra pearlite and added mykos to where roots would be touching. I then fed them 0.5ML Armor SI, 3ML Cal Mag +, 2.5ml Micro, 2.5ml Gro, 0.5ml Bloom, 1ml Kelp/seaweed, 2ml hydrogaurd, 1ml Rapid start mixed in distilled water. PH 6.4 thought I wrote down PPM but forgot what is was by now. Alternating feeds with pure water roughly every 4 days.
On 8/6/19 I was able to put up a 1200 watt Full Spectrum LED so now I have the 1200 and a 600 watt. 600 watt 18" above and 1200 watt 32" above as per instructions to slowly lower. I also added a Lemon Skunk Clone I purchased at my favorite dispensary that didn't let me down with their last clones.
On 8/19/19 Deadhead OG #4 was 11" tall, Deadhead #5 was 8" tall, Green Crack #3 was 7" tall, Blue Dream was 7" tall, I topped all the girls, gave needed watering after topping. Sprayed leaved with foliar spray just as lights went out.

The photos below are from 8/19/19 just after topping and watering the ladies which should explain the droopiness and a few pics of the start of LST on 8/22/19 I have been gradually increasing nutes with each feed. I am currently using, Armor Si, Cal Mag +, Flora Trio (Micro, Gro, Bloom), Hydrogaurd and Seaweed Kelp. They are in 5 gallon Fabric pots filled with Happy Frog with added pearlite, under a 600watt and 1200 watt Full Spectrum LED daisy chained together both hanging 18" above the canopy. I am planning on trying to SCGOG but because I got antsy and had to have the Lemon Skunk clone so I gotta wait until I have enough to get a 2x4 tent , 2 more inline fans, and at least one 1200 watt light. I am hoping to have these items in the next week or two then I can really work on the canopies, but in the meantime i am using LST tie downs and it seems to be doing pretty good. Next feed will be Armor Si 2ml/gal, CalMag + 3ml/gal, Flora Micro 2.5ml/gal, Gro 2.5ml/gal, Bloom 2.5ml/gal, hydrogaurd 2ml/gal, Seaweed/Kelp 2ml/gal and will stay here until transition time.

Today the girls are about 5 weeks and 4 days and are steadily getting bigger. I did notice something kinda funky going on with the Deadhead OG leaves and on their stalks have some purpling on both #4 & #5..Same thing kept happening off and on with their mother but when I bumped up the Cal Mag + in the mother I believe that fixed it, so I will give that a try on their next feeding in a few days. Today was their water only cycle and I didn’t add it to the water because I didn’t think of it until after I moved them back to the tent and snuggled them in for the night. Also when looking at the photos it looks like Lemon Skunk might be a little low on iron possibly? She looks a little light in the center I’ll have to revisit their nutrients on their next feed and see what’s what.

 

[candycane]

The girls are about 6 weeks today and they are all looking pretty good and happy. I’ve got about 3-4 weeks to go before I plan on flipping these girls into flower as that’s when I should be finished up with the ones in flower now. Hoping to have my second tent soon so I can really start training these girls.

 

[candycane]

The girls are 7 wks and 2 days now. I’ve done some LST and topped them all awhile back and today I pruned them because learning from my first grow where I was terrified to take too much off. I learned quite a bit with my last grow which is there Mother’s and I think this one will be better. I finally got my second tent in (2x4x72) fans and just waiting on my light should be here by Tuesday this will allow me to put just 3-4 in this 4x4 tent to fill it up with my SCROG net. I really wish this was planned out better but I’m working with what I’ve got Temps staying between 68-77*F RH @55-61%

 

[candycane]

The girls turned 8wks today! The two Deadhead OG’s have grown substantially and I know they like to stretch like crazy when I switch the light so I decided to get the SCROG net on last night and started slowly shortening the days. Tonight they go to 15 hours and by Monday I will start 12/12. I need to tighten up the net a bit but this is my first go at this so I’m just gonna do my best and keep learning as I grow.
I wish I would have gotten a pic of them last night when I first put the net up but kept having people distract me (like I wasn’t in the middle of doing anything or anything) and well I didn’t. These pics are from this morning and they have grown a little more since these pics!
I’m hoping the shorter Lemon Skunk catches up as she is supposed to be a tall plant and known to stretch during flower so the stats say..
They all look very healthy and happy!
Blue Dream got put in her own 2x4x72 tent because she is due to finish a week later then the other and there was no room for her in there anyway but she will be on the same light schedule. Since I can have 6 I wish I would have kept one more clone but alas I didn’t.
Yesterday they got their last veg feed PPM 520 Temp 72.4 PH 6.7. Heights were
Blue Dream-14” Deadhead #5- 14” Deadhead #4- 18” Lemon Skunk 11 3/4”, Green Crack 12”

 

[candycane]

The girls are 8wks 3 days today and looking marvelous! Today I also switched to 12/12 so it’s also Transition day 1. I lowered the net to about 7-8” above the top of the pot. Kinda screwed myself a little because when I gave them their needed watering today it was a PITA to water but I’ll rig something up and make life easier at some point. Between the 5 of them I gave them about a gallon each of plain RO water ph’d to 6.5. Temps were running a little warm in the 2x4 tent with Blue Dream between 80-84*F so I opened the meshed vents and the temp has lowered to between 75-77*F RH between 45-50, so I think during the day I will have to keep those vents open just have to remember to close them before 8pm at their bedtime. Blue dream is droopy in the photo but she needed watering and has since perked right back up.

 

[candycane]

Today the girls are 8wks 7days and on Transition day 5 since 12/12 flip. Both of the Deadhead OG’s in the back are showing many pistils and the Green Crack and Lemon Skunk maybe have a couple but no white pistils yet on Blue Dream. I had to swap some lights around because I am new to these tents and they were getting wayyyy to warm with the new 1200 watt full spectrum triple diode led light with veg and bloom both on so now..
Blue Dream 2x4x72 tent with 600 watt Full Spectrum LED light is 18” above canopy with both veg and bloom on. Temps range from 68-75*F RH 43-50% She is looking happy healthy and growing. The other girls DeadHead OG #4 & #5 in the back, Lemon Skunk on the front left and Green Crack on front right are in the 4x4x80 tent with 2 1200 watt full spectrum LED lights placed 20” above canopy with both veg and bloom on. Temps from 70-80*F RH 40-50%.
I do notice especially in the Deadheads they are drinking their water like crazy and drying up a lot quicker. I fed them today as follows
2ml/g Armor Si, 2mls/g Seaweed/Kelp, 2.5mls/g Calimagic, 2.5mls/g Micro, 3mls/g Gro, 3mls/g Bloom, 2mls/g hyrdogaurd PPM 556 Temp 72.4 PH 6.7
This mix proved to be a little hot as the tips got a slight burn on them. So next feed I will adjust and planned on adjusting anyway to early flower nutes. I will drop the Armor Si and Seaweed to 1ml/g and Gro to 2ml/g and will bump Micro up to 3ml/g and Bloom will stay at 3ml per gallon and will add 0.5ml/g of Liquid Kool Bloom.
They all appear to be growing well and I have to tuck them at least daily especially the Deadheads!

 

[candycane]

9weeks 7days Early Flower day 5 The girls are all doing good and looking healthy and growing and tucking still occurs on a daily for the Deadheads and every other day for the Green Crack and Lemon Skunk. Blue Dream in the other tent is getting a lot bigger than her mother was and temps are on point in that one. They are getting a feed tomorrow. I am still trying to keep the temps down in the big tent because since I turned on the veg and bloom switches it’s getting up to 86*F RH at 40-48% by the end of the day even with the bottom flaps vented open, three fans up top and a circulating fan on the bottom. I am going to try and add another exhaust fan as soon as I get paid and hopefully that will help! I keep my house at like 69-70*F hoping that would help and it hasn’t either. They are all budding up nicely too

 

[candycane]

Today the girls are (10 weeks 3 days) and 14 days since 12/12 flip. I fed them yesterday as follows
Armor Si 1.5ml/g, liquid seaweed 1.5ml/g, Calimagic 2.5ml/g, Micro 2.5ml/g, Gro 1.5ml/g, Bloom 3ml/g, Liquid Cool Bloom 0.5ml/g, & 2ml/g hydrogaurd.
I have been having to retuck the Deadhead OG’s daily and Lemon Skunk on the right with Green Crack on the left every 2-3 days. I’m hoping to get more stretch on the Green Crack and Lemon Skunk so they can fill the net better. Anything below the net on day 21 is gone! If I can get my other room ready and scrubbed in time I’m going to attempt taking a couple of clones (if they make it awesome and if not it’s ok, just don’t want to cut and toss a perfectly good clone without trying at least.
RH is still on point in the 40’s but I’m still battling the 80-86 * F by the end of the day. The highest it’s been so far today is 83*F. I am still going to try and do an additional exhaust once I get paid again and hopefully that will draw some heat out. I have 2 1200 watt LEDS but now that I have both switches on it just been to warm in there.

 

[candycane]

And here’s a few more pics and the Blue Dream is by her lonesome in the 2x4x72 tent with. 600 watt Led both switches the temps and humidity have been on point in there. 68-76*F RH in the 40’s.

OK sort of caught up. I'll go back and read some of the deeper details by tomorrow. But at least I'm here and I see things better

thank you! This is my second grow all clones from their mothers I just flowered out except the Lemon Skunk. Learned a lot from my first grow but still learning something new everyday! I have a 6” inline fan in my cart on Amazon just waiting for payday on the 3rd so hopefully that will help get the temps in check. They look happy as of right now thankfully.

 

[MrSauga]

I have a 6” inline fan in my cart

Can you post a screenshot of it with the CFM value? There's a difference between the inline fans(booster) and an exhaust fan. Depending on the site it could be listed as either. It would be good to have a quick look so you don't end up getting something that may not work.

Also, here's a link to a VPD chart that shows where your temps should be in relation to your RH. It's color coded for the stage the plant is in.
Let me know if you have questions or don't understand the meaning of it.

It has a 3-digit key entry after swiping! And It is Completely legal seeing as I bought it from a police auction! :thumb:

These are the two different ones I was looking at that I can make work on my limited budget.

 

[MrSauga]

OK perfect, the 440cfm should work fine. You want to exchange your air roughly every 5 minutes (actually many say every minute) but I go with 5 or else you'll have a big ass fan in there.

Awesome! Thank you now I feel better about the purchase knowing it’s the right kind of fan and thank you for the info on the VPD scale too! I think I understand what it’s saying. I want to match up the temps with the RH depending on the stage of life. I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can in a short amount of time and this site has been super helpful. I’ll get the humidifier figured out tomorrow when they wake up.

 

[Backlipslide]

Don’t mind if I do!

I’m subbed in! Will follow along and help where I can.

I love me a good green Crack grow.

I actually have one coming up shortly!

 

[candycane]

Awesome! Happy to have you here. I’ve been following your journal as well and very much enjoy reading it! I love me some green crack
