Closet Grow With QB

[GreenThunder]

I've taken so much (in 2 separate sessions) and could probably take more.

Nice jungle thing! I expect to see a miniature Tarzan swing through .

Good morning GT! Thanks for the invite to check out your qb. I appreciate it. Plants look real good.

 

[GreenThunder]

These gals got moved into the tent with the HPS (if you follow my hydro journal you may have noticed I completely flubbed up the post about the move... oops)

The hydro experiment has been moved into the closet with the qb (no, I'm not quite sure what I'm doing)

 

[GreenThunder]

Well quite a lot has happened since I last updated here. I've been busy in the hydro journal, mainly because that's where my focus has been.

If I'd relied only on the twin Laughing Buddha hydro vs coco comparison, logic would have said stick with coco. My hydro Guinea pig cannot be called a success, yet (see that optimism?!) But I sure have learned a lot.

Here's hydro LB today (61 days old)

She's still struggling to recover but the new roots look much better than those she shed

Coco LB was moved into the flowering tent 2 weeks ago. I'll have to get an updated pic later, for now here's one from a week ago

The difference in the two that started as a comparison is kind of amazing. The reason I don't give up on hydro and stick with coco is the confidence I've gained back from this grape ape clone...

She was taken 31 days ago when the mother was 15 days into 12/12. This is later than I would normally take a clone but it seems to be working out. She's finally reentered veg state, with weird 1 and 3 fingered leaves. I've seen this in clones before so I'm not concerned.

 

[GreenThunder]

Time to revive this journal for a bit. The failed Guinea pig was tossed (should have done it sooner)

Grape Ape clone has gotten too big and needs to be moved into the tent for flowering. Her updates are happening over in my hydro journal.

I have a Laughing Buddha clone that's got a bit stretchy and not fully healthy

Up next is Zkittles. She just popped out of her shell today (finally!)

A mystery seed dropped at the same time didn't make it sooooooo.... I need to decide: drop the last Nukeheads mystery seed or a known strain? Or a mystery bagseed??!!

 

[InTheShed]

Too many choices! Do eeny meeny miny mo .

 

[GreenThunder]

I dropped the 3rd mystery and she popped!!!

She's tucked into a moist paper towel in a baggie on the heat pad (but with a bit of a barrier because i think it was too warm sitting directly on it)

 

[InTheShed]

I wonder about that heat thing. I have mine on the DVR but even with the plate between them I think it might be too hot. I put a coaster underneath as a spacer.

 

[GreenThunder]

Yeah I found the small tote lid I'd used before and it reminded me.... after I toasted 2 seeds. At any rate, I'm glad to be starting things again.

The seedlings are joined by 4 clone attempts; the grape ape clone got a major prune last night and I saved these. I could have had dozens.

Next gen

Next gen

My first time cloning a clone

 

[GreenThunder]

Laughing Buddha clone has a decent split up top so I gave them a tug

But she's looking sad. I think it's time for a flush. Also I got these cool air stone alternative units (reusable!) I'm hoping she recovers quickly because I want to flip her soon. I say that every time but I'm so determined to flower one under the qb.

 

[InTheShed]

So sad! Get well soon .

 

[GreenThunder]

She looked like she was making a recovery.... and then I forgot to turn the air back on after taking pH and ppm readings!! It was off nearly a full day But she's finally showing new roots

 

[GreenThunder]

Oh I almost forgot... I ordered some seeds and they have been shipped!! All are autos: Amnesia Haze, Blueberry, Northern Lights, and Jack Herer. I haven't been able to flower in the closet because I've either got one in veg or I let them get too big sooooooo the closet will become dual purpose.... veg + flower autos

 

[InTheShed]

Sounds like a good plan. If you have two spaces for plants and the veg area is big enough, it's a great idea to have autos in there.

Roots are looking good. Post-it reminders to turn things back on are good too .

 

[GreenThunder]

I changed the res but wonder if a flush would be helpful

The roots aren't brown like they look in the pic
