i havent heard its bad to clone while in flowering, i just did it while my plant was in week 3.. and all 4 survived their 2 weeks of rooting and now are ready to go back under 12/12 lighting...
heres 1 of my little ladies

I've heard that taking cuttings in early flower will result in clones with shorter internodal lengths so it is good to take them when you did or a bit earlier. The clones take a bit longer to start off but it is supposed to be worth it. I hope to see those clones in your grow journal dez.

 

[The Butcher]

it wont hurt the clones as you stated it will cause shorter internode spaceing. On one of my grows i used a few clones that were in that situation and they each yeilded 2 ounces heres a couple picts:

so yeah they should be good as far as internode spacing.The results should be promising

DFW-Guy, girls are looking really happy in their new home. When I grow-up and become homeless, I'll know who to call to design my cardboard shelter....lol. Excellant work bro! Can't wait to see those buds all filled in and stanky!!

 

[dfw-guy]

Everyone, thank you for your input. Even with all the encouragement and know-how on the site I don't think I'll be going to clone. At least not on this run. I realize that I could, I just choose not to because
1. I don't feel this strain is good enough for me to bother keeping it going. If I had some awesome weed growing then hell ya I'd clone it and have as much growing as possible. The fact is that this weed is not that great.
2. I don't have the money to purchase all the things I would need to have 2 boxes going at once.
That being said, the girls are showing growth everyday. It's fun to just sit by them and look at em. I fed them today also.








You didn't think I would post without pics did you?? ha!

Here's a crop of the last shot

 

[The Butcher]

very nice!! great shots.

hey in all due time as far as another set up goes.I've been in that position before.hey you've been blessed by having a grow in the frst place.

a lil orange coming out already. thats a good sign of your doing things rite.

 

[dfw-guy]

Thanks butcher, I appreciate it. Do you think that adding a few lumens would help a lot? Right now I have 6800 lumen, but I could switch out the two 13w w/ 23w and have 8400. Should I go for it? I'm only going to do it if someone thinks that it will have an impact on bud production.
Edit: I just did some very rough estimates. Assuming I can achieve .3 gram/watt, I can increase my yield by 6 grams simply by switching out the 13watt lights with 23watters. I see a trip to the store in tomorrows future.

 

[The Butcher]

any additional lighting would make a difference.But the question is how willl the heat effect your situation.if you can handle it and maintain the temps then go for it, But if not then if it aint broken then dont fix it.

 

[dfw-guy]

Hmm good point Butcher. I'll have to run a few experiments tomorrow to see how much heat these lights produce. I feel confident that I can pull the extra light off though.

 

[The Butcher]

if you can go for it.It will make a difference.but like you said time to experiment.

Very passionate grow.. great progress!!

 

[hapgrowy]

i would def get as much light as you can heat permitting... i need to do the same thing...

From what I have learned, more light is always better

+reps to everyone I can. Feels great to have people supporting my grow

 

[Steve McStoferson]

very very nice dude, the plants are looking great!

And thank you as well

dro hit it on the head.Your ingenuity is grand!!no matter how your getting it done its comming out nicely.

 

[dfw-guy]

Thanks butcher.
Well everyone my plants are officially not perfect haha. Not that I ever expected them to be. The tips of the leaves, on both plants, are burned/dead. Some leaves are a little twisted. I'll be flushing the next watering to get my ph back to normal

 

[GMT1975A]

DFW-Guy, What are the kelvin ratings on your DFL's bro? Now that you are budding, you could switch to the 2700K bulbs. I am using the 150 watt/2700K bulbs for flowering. I still need to increase the number of bulbs per plant for those in veg. They are going to be light starved if I don't. Ahywho..they are looking great so far, keep up the great work bro, bud heaven is not to far away!

 

[dfw-guy]

GMT1975A, All the bulbs are 2700k I'm now running one 30w bulb and four 23w bulbs. No temp issues. 8400 lumen & 122 watts total. Bud heaven here I come!
