CFL's throw their light out from the side not downward if you can rig them up horizontally you will cover more area and get more light closer to the plants here is a nice diy chandelier I found cruising this great site. CFL Light Tutorial
Clones day 3, and mum. The clone in the blue mini-pot is the one taken from mum yesterday .. the one to the left of that one, was put in the soil yesterday and was taken from a flowering girl. The rest is truly on day 3 and taken from the flowering girls as well.
Mum and the clones are doing great if you ask me .. a few of them are slowly starting to show sings of yellowing leafs, but otherwise look good. Mum got some LST to get more lights on the individual nodes.
They got 10L water divided over the 4 of them .. added some nutes to it I had laying around for indoor plants in bloom .. I need to order some cannabis specific nutes still, but I have trouble choosing a brand .. if I would go by examples here, I would end up ordering stuff with a kinda big shipping fee for my budget.
Pruned some fan leafs as they block too much lights to the little buds that are just on the net. Other then that, nothing was done to the ladies. The clones have been without their dome for an hour, and still look much the same as they did when I opened the dome. Just out of precaution, I put it back over again, and sprayed a little.
Mum got some nutes, and is almost ready for taking clones again.
Oh HELL yeah ... winter is comming!! What a beautifull sight it is to have my first sugar visible on the leafs! Really exited!!
The clones are still doing okay I think, tho I will probably never attempt to root directly into soil again. It is frustrating not to be able to check root development. I had the dome off for about 7 hours today with no visible wilting, so that might be a positive sign. On the other hand ... last time, the stems where rotting, and there was no vissible wilting either. Picture update later today, as I'm currently not able to access them.
They are doing great .. but I can not upload pictures from my phone at the moment. Using PACman rom and android 4.4.4 on a samsung s2, filenames get fucked up and the form will not process the pictures .. I'll try to get around that .. 2 updates ready, third one about to be made ..
My clones died, but for 2. The 2 that survived both came from flowering plants. I'm not sure what the issues with my cloning are .. the only added thing is honey .. I'll leave that out on the next batch, which I have to take soon as mum is getting too big for her space
Even the fan leafs are collecting snow ^^ ... I love it!
I think I will cut off a bunch of leafs tomorrow, to get some more light on the lower budsites. I'll dry them and add them to my next bubble batch, then QISO the re-dried stuff for some nice oil. 250 grams of pure waste (stalks, crums) yielded 8 grams of fine bubblehash .. havent QISO-ed yet, but since smoking the stuff still gives a little high, I'm curious as to how the oil will come out.
PlanetJ... When you have time in the future, I'd like to get with you by pm and ask a few questions about the SCROG method... I am very interested in it and I REALLY like your results!
