Hi OG, your new set-up looks great and am glad the Chocolopes are recovering. The last pair were true monsters; this should be an exciting ride!

I am back from 8 days in beautiful cuba. Had a blast and escaped the cold for a while. Plants doing ok, but still recovering from before.I hope growth will speed up soon but I was not here to take care of them so just happy they are not worse ;-)

Glad to be of entertainment ;-)
Here is a pic of the girls freshly bent, twisted and broken flat.

Here's a close up of a couple jacks smack seedlings. Yes I see the nute burn it seems the cheap potting soil I bought this time has ferts in it 8-(

Getting straight water for a while now and getting better.

Going to need at least another week maybe more before 12h switch. I hate waiting it is taking sooooo long...

Hey I can't send PMs yet, but to answer the question you sent me: if I'm able to get the space/equip/light to get some going then yes for sure.

Check out my cloner details on page 2. Could use a yogurt or Similiar container and then you just need to buy pump, air stone and hose. For a veg area just need a single cfl and socket then can use a cardboard box or Rubbermaid. Need to get clones going don't want to lose your genetics you have going now.

re: Jack's Smack - Critical Kush - Chocolope in Hydro

And are the cuttings you put in that cloner suitable for soil or only hydro? I've only got soil right now. Also if you toss me one then for sure then I'd make some and give you one back. Would maybe be weird growing 3 plants in a 2x2 though? Oh well if my slower one gets too far behind I could replace it with the choco.

re: Jack's Smack - Critical Kush - Chocolope in Hydro

Yes clones work great for any medium.
Can grow as many as you like in 2x2 just means faster veg time.

re: Jack's Smack - Critical Kush - Chocolope in Hydro

I just wasn't sure because your cloner looks like some sort of hydro thing. I'll definitely make one soon then, shouldn't have a problem finding all that stuff locally I'm assuming.

Also no dice on turning on PMs or replying to that other message, maybe if I go post random stuff another 19 times haha, or you send me an email address or sum.

re: Jack's Smack - Critical Kush - Chocolope in Hydro

Btw I'll be making that cloner real soon, not sure what kind of container/lid to get though and where to buy one. And are there any alternatives to the hose? Gotta buy the whole roll of hose to get some.

re: Jack's Smack - Critical Kush - Chocolope in Hydro

Any container works can even use a large yogurt container or a small bucket with lid or a Rubbermaid container it doesn't matter but it should not be clear or will grow algae. The darker the better. Hose is available for a few bucks where you buy the air stone and air pump (petsmart, walmart) with aquarium supplies. If you use somethig small like yogurt container then single air stone will work if you go big to do lots of clones then you will need air Wands or air disks or multiple small stones and some t connectors. Basically the hole thing should be bubbling.

Jacks smack seedlings used to be very happy but now not so much. I think this is nutrient burn because I am using potting soul with ferts in it. There were no other kinds available at the store I was at. You guys with more soul experience, does this just look like nutrient burn to you? Been giving them nothing but phed water for weeks.

re: Jack's Smack - Critical Kush - Chocolope in Hydro

Yep look like nute burn to me, or its PH related

 

[OttawaGreen]

re: Jack's Smack - Critical Kush - Chocolope in Hydro

Been giving it 6.1phed tap water but who know what's in this soil from home depot

 

[Flaahgra]

re: Jack's Smack - Critical Kush - Chocolope in Hydro

Would I need the cloner to put a clone in? or could I plant it directly in soil? Are they usually old enough to give nutes/plants in organic soil? And finally, would humidity matter? Since I got this new ducting I can't get it to rise at all. I know clones need to have high humidity for awhile.

My BK is growing slowly, though I think it might've been overwatering, just don't want it happening to any other one.

re: Jack's Smack - Critical Kush - Chocolope in Hydro

A cloner is for making clones. So you cut a piece off your plant and stick it in the cloner. In 1-2 weeks the cutting will have roots and then you can put it in soil or whatever method you choose. Note it is NOT for auto flower types only normal or femenized plants.

After roots from it looks like this:

Humidity does not seem to matter with mine but if your cuttings are droopy looking just stick some clear plastic cover over it. Here is Tupperware, but the clear plastic that comes on bakes goods or other food items works too

re: Jack's Smack - Critical Kush - Chocolope in Hydro

So today I have a question for you guys: what do you think this plant is unhappy with? The pH is 5.3 the nutrient levels are one quarter manufacturer recommended level, roots look very healthy but plant looks kind of droopy:

 

[OttawaGreen]

re: Jack's Smack - Critical Kush - Chocolope in Hydro

they were previously at half strength but I was seeing tips turning brown as a sign of overfertilization so I just dropped two one quarter recommended and now it is still droopy

re: Jack's Smack - Critical Kush - Chocolope in Hydro

Oh and humidity is at 32%. Not good I know but I The humidifier is already running nonstop.chocolope seems to be okay with it but critical Kush this one is not. They are in same reservoir as healthy happy chocolope too
