After several attemps and only 1 good full grow (my first) its time to jynx myself again and say im this >< close to success and owe it all to the RIU guru's.
These "widow" clones are about 4-5wks into 12/12.My learning curves and 2wk veg time kept them kinda skrawny but I think the final result will be delightful.
Im not so much the "journalist" as I am just giving back back to the community ideas and most of all "budporn".Enjoy!

day 9

1 of the 8 bagseeds as you can see is way bigger than the others,hope itsa a her.I can see some yellowing beginning all ready.I was gunna wait to feed them for a couple weeks but now im debating,whatya all think?They only get watered when needed so really theyve only been watered a couple times each in 9 days.They are in ff soil under 2 150w cfl's @ 18/6 (for now).Im flushing my WW's now so in a week or so they will be going in the tent with 600w mh.I will be using the ff nutes 1/4 strength to start.

bump.....

I think some of the babies are getting worse.Growth appears to be slowing for the ones in question and are a little more yellowish today and now they appear to have the droop syndrome or rather the leaves are forming a dome shape with the leave tips pointing down as if they were in a dark period.Im letting them dry between waterings but maybe not enough.I dont want them to get to the wilting point do I?Ph is 6.5ish and no nutes yet,still debating.A few of them seem to be thriving.More light,less light,father from the light,shoot myself now?

day13

Well after going back and re-reading a million posts for the millionth time I realized my babies were to close to the cfl's and now after a few days of being 8" away,they are starting to get the greener looking color and now the leaves on the new growth is beginning to point up again.I guess what I learned is what has worked for others didnt work for me and by making what some call minor,and what others would call major,adjustments solved the problem.I know im far from harvest but I will take anything positive at this point.Im thinking about giving them another week or so to see how they do till I start 1/4 strength ff nutes.
On a side note,My WW's are this>< close to harvest.Im on my 2nd flush w/molasses now and they are just thick and dense with resin.So heavy that its difficult to tell if they need water.All the buds need support now and the smell when I open the tent is out of this world.I took a sample bud from one of my tops before the flush and have cured it.I sampled it last night after work and I could not believe how smooth and potent it is.Normally im tossin down the norcos or vicoden for my pain but after 10 minutes it was all good.Im only seeing about 5-10% amber ,all cloudy trichs.Im thinking any day now.Sad thing is there is only 4 smaller plants so ill be lucky to get an ounce,but the best ounce ive ever smoked and all home grown baby!This would be like my fourth grow,first one was the only real success.The last 3 ive dealt with mold,mites and hermies.For a while there I was thinking it was all I could grow but now have a new hope.I really appreciate it RIU'ers,you guys seriously know your green.Mad love to all.

after a cpl weeks of drying and curing i ended up with just about 80 grams.not to shabby.i consider this run a success but not with lessons learned.the smoke is not the best but im getting closer to what i want.no mites or mold was my goal since ive battled with them the last few grows and lost but not this time

thanx riu knowledge guru's.
i also went to home depot for the diy honey oil extraction and OMG,good stuff....lolz

update on my little ones.i finally got my 600 conv mh and its doing wonders.a few of them are still struggling but others are snapping out.i think im gunna be veggin a while.the lower 4 are the big bud from the ca seed bank and the rest bag including that top left one,hope shes a she.

I dont bite.

Update.

My seed experiment didnt go so well and needs some work so ill stick with clones.I did manage to keep 2 alive,1 bag which the other day started showing her hairs and 1 BigBud that aint so big but she's also a she and starting to snap out of it.I realized with the colder weather my temps got to low so I had to switch the cooltube out with my other reflecter.That got my temps back up.My Humidity levels in this room were to low,got the Co2 and it brought it up some but then I thought why not run a couple waterfarms and BAM,50% now.I know ill hafta watch it later and have a dehumidifier just in case.So I think ive got my enviroment dealt with now that the cold weather is here.Ill have to change it all back as soon as temps start changing again.
In the farms I have 1 Pineapple Kush and 1 Mendocino Kush.They are only 1 week old from clones and have doubled in size.They were even in soil that I had to wash off to put in the expanded clay.I thought I would deal with shock but instead they thrived.Im using 1/4 strength GH nutes with a 5.5 ph and about a 400 ppm right now and they are drinking up.I dont think im going to top any of these this time but instead will train and bend them,whatever thats called...sog,scrog,fim,?
In the soil ive got 1 green crack and 1 G-13.Ive got more watrerfarms but I have high humidity problems and it will haunt me later so i figure if I run soil for a few plants I will have a little more control.FF nutes for these babies.
I also found flies and started spraying them with a mild soapy neem solution and they are loving it.I will apply this for the next few weeks every few days.I plan on vegging these a little while this time instead of jumping to 12/12 right away.
Im getting there one way or another.Comments and general schoolling encouraged.
