hey guys, some leaves are curling down a little and im pretty sure its not due to overwatering. Not too worried just want to get the lil girl (heres hoping) in the best condition I can. Was wondering if my ph is a little high? 6.7ish. read somewhere that i want to get it to roughly 6.2? if so i was wondering if there are any household items i can use to adjust this. Tried searching PH on this site but it keeps getting ommited, does anyone know how to get around this?? Also will be taking a cutting today for sexing and maybe grow a mini cola lol. Suppose that depends on if the cutting takes I have never cloned before but I have done a little reading and got some rooting hormone, humidity dome and Oasis cubes or would I just be better off using Jiffy cups? Tried my first FIM last night will update pics when it starts to develop, hope I didnt miss and just top harharhar. Gotta go buy a magnifing glass too, my camera struggles with the closeups!!

DAY 25
Seeds have all sprouted havent got leaves up yet but their heads have popped. Had a crack at some LST today and took a cutting for sexing, I used sharp scisors to scrape back some of the outside layer and cut at 45 degree angle before applying clonex. I'll be super stoked if it roots as it's my first attempt!! Heres some pics...
Plastic bag in last pic was to diffuse light, cutting is also under the shade of the big pot. Will this be enough light for the lil fulla? Going to start ramping up the fish emulsion next feeding then back to the growzilla at half strength when big girl handles that. Very happy with my progress so far and have learnt a lot just from this site!

Day 28
Well trucking along nicely. Got a moisture meter heard theyre a bit of a joke but it seems to work alright. Haven't watered for 8 days now might give her a feed tonight with full strength fish emulsion. (think ive been lacking a bit on the nutes she hasn't had any for almost 2 weeks now)
Haha got a C02 bubbler in there dont really know if its going to do anything but thought Id make one anyways.
seedlings one week after germination...
Think the clones feet were getting super cold so I got a heat mat to try and heat her up a bit. Was looking real sad and droopy so I staked it up and trimmed some more leaves off. Pretty doubtful if its going to survive...

hmmm maybe a bit of a learning curve for me. Left the vents closed on the humidity bin overnight with the heat mat going think the poor girl got a bit cooked. oh well, ill leave it for a couple of days and see what happens and maybe take a few more cuttings and have another crack with oasis cubes instead...

After staring intently for approx half an hour I think I have found ONE female preflower a node beneath the growing tip. There was 2 TINY white hairs growing in there. woop woop just made my day.
On the 3 seedlings I think they all have stem rot, they all look split with green showing. Grrr Jiffy's and probably my overwatering!! Will be using seed raising potting mix from now on.

Day 42 VEG
Hey guys got some more photos for ya. The roots were showing out the bottom of the 4.75 gallon pot so i thought i'd cut some holes in the sides and double pot into another bucket.
Lol didn't realise you could see my bling bling slippers
and some photos of the gal...

DAY 49 VEG
As I can't clone to save my life I decided to have a go at DWC.
this is a 4gal tub I used 2x 12" bubble curtains over the airstones as they put out more bubbles. Water heater doesn't arrive for a couple of days so ive just got the heat pad under it...
Couldn't find any neoprene for the inserts so i just used polystyrene.
As I don't have any liquid rooting hormone theres just plain water sitting in the tub and the tip has been dipped in clonex. Will this be alright? Also was wondering I have the tip sitting just out of the water with the bubbles splashing on it, will this be ok?
Pic of the gal 7weeks veg. Maybe flip the lights in the next week or so?? Im not really sure since it's been trained a lot, its a lot wider than it is tall. I have plenty of vertical room should i just keep veging her or will she out grow the pots? currently have roughly 7gallons of soil. Any insight would be appriceated. thanx guys...

Thanks for the kind words guys.
DAY 56 VEG
Well not much to update. Changed out the MH to HPS last night and im sure vertical growth was almost an inch on one of the growing tips!! Just got to get my tent light tight then ill be flipping to 12/12. Id say within two days. (going to start with a 24hr dark period) Canopy has 11 primary bud sites so im quite excited. Really had no expectations for this grow but if i get anything over an oz ill be really stoked. Watered with a 3/4 dose of flairform flowering solution last night as well. Lucious white roots are now pouring out the bottom of the bucket I double potted into as well...
Heres a couple of pics...
Bit of yellowing there. don't really know whats going on seems to be on some of the growth from a couple of weeks ago, im thinking i pushed the nutes a bit hard back then?? Also some of the new growth at the tips of the leaves is looking quite strange?? Is this just because its growing fast and the leaves will straighten out with time or possibly my low humidity (35%) and cool night temps (50f) or are these more symptoms of over fert?? any insight would be great...
Pic of the girl soaking up those lumens under her new HPS. Think she loves it...

------ Quick update ------
After 57 days of veg light got flipped. Leaving it off for 24hours. I sat inside the tent for 15mins and couldnt see a single pinprick of light so should be pretty good. Will update after 1week of flowering with some pics. stay tuned...

Well. Have posted these in the help forum, thought i may as well post my folly in here too. Seems i got a bit hasty with the bloom nutes and overdosed her.
Majority of new growth is like this.
Have given her a good flushing and a dose of epsom salts for good measure.
Such a dumb mistake! will slowly crank up bloom nutes in the future. Least I learnt something...
Will this effect my final yield??
