Title says all, Light green / yellow burnt (mostly cut off) clones starting to regenerate.
The journals that i will be posting are for me, feel free to read, comment and share any of what i say:This is my second grow and my first journal critics would be appreciated very much.
I will be adding this post over time as it is easier to oversee for me if theres anyone that feels like commenting.

Day 1 - 03/06/12

I use an old cabinet i found in the garage, added some things and made 2 holes + Pc fans which i cant even use


Excuse me for the dome still being on while taking pictures, im way too lazy to take it off.


I'll take some more pic's as soon as im adding a 3rd and maybe 4th clone.

It would be good to note that these clones already grew roots before i put them in the soil.
i used a piece of paper and a small cup of water so no direct light would touch the clone, it worked but i never counted on a heat wave in Holland (weather out here is fucked up, really fucked up) so from nearly freezing to a small heat wave burned my little plants a bit, but things will be good.

day 5 - 08/06/12
Plan changed, i will be putting in 3 extra clones in for my guerilla grow, i have five buckets somewhere TOP-SECRET and 2 clones already rooted in my lil' brothers room.
But you will be able to read more about that in my other post (still to come)

So here's the deal.
I got three plants in a new growbox i made with my pops.
This is my first indoor grow ever, and my second grow ever.
I might put out another post about it, but im kinda lazy and got more urgent matters to attend to.
I have 3 feminized strains in there, ofcourse all those strains are hybrids or in some way crossed a lot of times like almost every seed or weed you buy.

I bought these at a Smart Shop in a city in the North of Holland, they are officially good seeds like Spliff and Royal Queen seeds:
-Amnesia Haze (Mainly Sativa, 12 weeks flowering or october, left side of the photo)
-Shaman High (Sativa Indica Hybrid, but the Indica is visibly dominant, 8 weeks flower or oct, middle plant)
-White Widdow (Sativa Indica Hybrid, deff not a real white widdow, 8 weeks flower or oct, right plant)

As this is my first grow, and i found out you can clone your plant, i've gone crazy with the bladez.
(Oops! never noticed those leafs wilting, gave it some water as soon as i saw it!)


These are see thru cups that i put in red cups, a creative idea the hydro guy told me, its so you can see if the roots are developed or not.

I made holes in the cups so water gets sucked in once in the dome.

Im using a very simple Humidity Dome with a 23W CFL light, and a little layer of water.

I dont use any rooting powder since the hydro guy's small powder packages where sold out, and im way too cheap to buy one thats €13, a plant can and will do fine without it if properly done, they've been cloning plants since cultivation.


The Clones:

White Widdow
Amnesia Haze
Shaman High
Regenerating Clone 1 (ill find out when its bigger)
Regen. Clone 2 ( i think and hope amnesia)


Last time i did this i used a home made Rooting Hormone made from what i believe was a Willow tree.
you simply make tea out of it boiling the water with lots of the branches in it, it works perfect.

Day 9 - 12/06/12
(after 1-2 weeks in a cup of water getting tortured by the heat, 1 sister passed away R.I.P Jah have mercy!)

I took them out of the dome as soon as the curled leafs where looking good again.

Maybe i should have left the Amnesia Haze in there for a couple more days, but i didnt find that necessary as it clearly developed a good root system, plus i like to give my plants a little challenge it seems to make them tougher for future problems. (ofcourse theres a difference in toughening and stressing, it looks like this is the edge of toughening)

- Amnesia Haze, the upper two leafs are developing very slow and i might top it so it doesnt have to fix the problem at all, but as i mentioned the poor thing already went thru almost every stress there is: no humidome - Heat burn - no rooting solvent what so ever - hardly any fresh water - light stress from CFL to sunlight + i neglected it for a week.



- Cat chillin' on the roof




- Shaman's High, this one had a healthy green look on most of the leafs when i put it in the dome. i was pretty sure it would make it since it already developed some fat roots before transplanting it into soil.
this is growing the fastest and theres already a root coming underneatht he pot, im going to transplant it in a day or 2.




- i think im going to use these two for my guerilla grow, i might use the amnesia haze for my next indoor grow cause i feel like i owe it something + i dont know if i can cause it flowers long, and the weather out here gets crappy at the end of.... well we're lucky if we ever get any good weather at all, but i might just clone it again, if it turns out good.

- The other 3 plants in the dome arent showing that much progress cause theres no rooting hormone, but they're growing slowly and i think they have small roots, just not visible yet.

Day 10 - 13/06/12

I transplanted the Shaman's High outside in a bucket where my guerilla plant used to be in.

I will be introducing the Himalayan Balsam plant to any grower who isnt familliar with it: it grows everywhere and grows equally to your weed plant, most of the time even faster. making it a perfect plant to cover up your grow.




This one i put in a random pot, sometimes water it but i forgot it, its about 5 weeks old or so, probably 4 weeks.

What this plant will do is grow little buds, the little buds will shoot away multiple seeds upon touch, or when ripe enough.

This son of a bitch will overgrow your entire garden in a few years if you let it.



some tasty berries.




- The Shaman's High, transplanted +/- 15 minutes ago.

i'll be using these 2 for my guerilla grow, their sister is already out there for a day pics will come soon but i forgot my camera, my homie made some photos with his overpriced cellphone but i dont know if i can get them off his phone to my computer.

I dont know what kind of strain the left plant is, but im pretty sure its a white widdow (or so they say)



- Amnesia Haze, Im going to top it soon, put it outside, and just take care of it like a retarded child untill my indoor grow is done, then just let it flower in the growbox, i got a 400w HPS so thats gonna be fine.
Just do some measurements at how small to keep the plant, make sure it doesnt stretch too much, and maybe clone it.


Its already showing roots, but it wont grow upstraight cause i think the main leafs are burnt or something like that, no problem i can keep it small in the backyard untill it starts to flower, then just get it inside. i figured i need about 4-5 more weeks for the indoor grow, then i can get it to flower, since amnesia haze flowers for three full months i dont think an outdoor amnesia will make it in the cold dutch climate.

+ mom gets a headache from big weed plants lol
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Been a month, got rid of one plant, the other ones gonna be candidate #4 for my growbox.




This was my first cloning expiriment, and it was a great succes. next time i'll soak the cuttings in a home made willow rooting hormone mixture it'll boost up the process and its resistance against mold n shit.

Keep it real,
i'll upload some pics of the flowering stage and ofcourse the harvest.

Peace
