Tbobs Soil Grow - Power Flower 2014

[MikeTbob]

Wish I had that much room. I'm thinking A 2X4 stretch of the wire fencing that has the big rectangle openings would be simpler and cheaper. If you could get it by the foot.

Something like: HDX 4 ft. x 50 ft. 14-gauge Galvanized Steel Welded Wire-308302HD at The Home Depot

I don't have that much room either. I just have a walk in closet and I don't use it all.....yet. I'm thinking about whacking another really large clone and root it in 10 days, then throw the whole room into 12/12. That'll give me 6 plants to reap. I'm not too sure if 2 weeks would be enough time to get a clone rooted and into 12/12.

Got a little free time and took some pictures. Power Flower is now 19 1/2 inches tall and looking mighty sexy tonight.

She IS looking sexy tonight, Tbob! She's a beauty!

Thanks, she's the prettiest girl I have ever grown so far and I've gotten quiet fond of her. I'm pretty sure the wife get a twinge of jealousy when I talk about her. LOL.

She is one Sexy Beast, Bob.

Do you have any plans for training methods for her, since you plan to keep her as a mother?

And I absolutely love the nice Sativa shape Power Flower has. For me, it was a little difficult to train at first, but after a little time, the branches stretched out a bit more.

WOW, glad to see your treasure again. it's amazing. haha

I have not decided on what I want to do yet....I hope to reach a decision by this weekend. I don't think I will do much at all to her for awhile anyway. I may just bloom her and keep some flowering clones from her once she is ready.

WOW, glad to see your treasure again. it's amazing. haha

Thank you, I'm in love with her. LOL

Thank you for the very nice comments.

It normally takes a couple of weeks to show roots on a clone. There is no reason why you couldn't just put it into flower when roots show as it has it's mothers maturity.

Your other plants are looking lovely man.

Very Nice plants!

Nice job Tbob,

Nice and green and healthy. Just what a grower is looking for.

Just to compare notes with you, last time I measured, which was a few days ago, my plant height was around 14", and I started my seed back in the middle of May. The FIM and LST ruined the chances of my girl ever playing basketball! (Because it helps to be tall, get it? )

Absolutely right about the maturity part....but the last time I cloned anything it only took 11 days....a record for me.

Very Nice plants!

Thanks buddy....keeping it green!

Thank you Maui,
I hang around you guys and your gardens long enough so I should be learning something.

Mine may be taller but your looks much better than mine. Basketball isn't all it's cracked up to be......those girls ain't very pretty either. haha

EDIT: I just looked at the date on page 1. Mine was planted around the 20th of May also.

I just measured literally less than a minute ago, and PF is sitting at 15" exactly at the tallest top. Although I'm also flowering and hit the stretch already, PF was just under 11" before the stretch. And I'm not mathematically inclined enough to use the pythagorean theorem to figure out how my angle growth translates to upward growth.

But your last measurement was on 7/30, so I'm assuming you have .5-1.5" of new growth now.

But we can assume the training makes a big difference for folks looking for a short and compact grow!

Flower Power is looking great Mike! Did I read correct, your keeping her as a mother?

When you keep a plant as a mother, at some point, wont she be to big and massive to keep?

Lots of good info there buddy. I think LST causes them to grow more vigorously to achieve the goal of getting high in the air to catch pollen. I think you've proven that point.

Exactly what I was thinking too. I'm thinking it's not going to be a practical idea to keep mother plants after all. As much as I love the thought of having them around, I don't have another room to keep them in while the grow room is in bloom. Maybe I should just keep pulling clones and keep it going that way. I can always find room for clones in the house and I seem to have gotten a grasp on cloning. I don't necessarily need a mother plant as much as I just want a way to preserve the strain for myself instead of purchasing it again.

Look into grafting, then you could run one plant with say 6-8 diff strains! its something Ive been meaning to do for years! Takes some real method for success, but would be an invaluable skill!

 

[Antics]

What about cycling the plants? Like before you flower this, take a few clones to grow and see what roots. Use 1 plant to keep as the next mother, and the others just grow and flower them.

I don't know the rules on clones as mothers and cloning clones, but it seems like a decent idea.

I've read about that before and it sounds awesome but I'm not too sure I have *that* much patience. haha
Also it doesn't help me with having no good place to keep mothers around. I thought about putting them outside but I have a county policeman living next door to me. No Bueno!!
Once I save up enough to get some LED lights I should be good. That will give me more room to play because then I could move my T5's into another room, maybe a grow box or something.
