so.... i gt 2 girls on the roof now....

took 4\5 strains outside originally.... they had been vegging for abt 2 months... with a good batch of rooted clones....
i was getting 11hrs30min of sunlight when i took them out...... now 30 days later im geting 12hrs20min of sunlight

day 15 i found a male an ate it...

day 25 had to eat another... hermi!!!!

so now on day 30 im left with 2 girls.... both r indica strong.... one has only white hairs the other got a slight purple color to the hairs....

the top colas r abt 5-7 inches big an 3 inches wide.....

this closet has become my obsession....

it started simple with 5 25 w cfl's.... and 5 seeds..... the only change it went through in a month and a half was the installation of a fan....

then after a lot of running around, research, and ph calls i managed to find a 250w hps with a 3000 k light spectrum.... PERFECT for flowering

had an issue with frequent power cuts.... couldnt run the hps on my UPS.... so i also now have 4 25 w 2700 k cfl's so i have perfect 12/12....

i dont have too much space under the hps.... abt 5 feet so only 4 ft of plant growth.... hence im only flowering clones here

my first set of clones r 45 days old 1 is a sativa ( i killed the mother by giving her too much nut

) the other is my indica with pure white hairs..... im seeing loads of crystals ( for the first time in my life)... top colas r abt 8 inches big and 4-5 inches wide....

second set 15 days into flowering oj kush and the sativa.... 2 of each....
tried lst and topping.... gt 1-3 main colas.....

this is the most important room.... my bathroom

the best environment for the clones... its always humid!!!! if u take a shower everyday that is..... in my closet the humidity is abt 30% in here its like 50-70% always....

ive been lucky i guess with the whole cloning process.... i always get like 60-90% success.... i find the indica with purple hairs the easiest to clone and the indica that turned hermi the hardest....

i keep my clones under the dome for 15-30 days and inside the bathroom for another 15 days before taking clippings for new clones or flowering them...

i spray the insides of the dome 4-5 times a day with RO water.....
nutes r only given when they r out of the dome

lights r on 24/7

some pics of my girls....

i plan to harvest 2-4 plants every 15-20 days....

i also want to have a monster grow outside so im thinking abt planting clones on the roof when i start getting 13 hrs of sunlight.... sometime in the end of april.... should harvest some big girls by sept oct

so in abt another 30 days or so i will have my first cured bud... which will b the first time ill ever smoke cronic... been smoking charas for the last 6 years

comments/suggestions welcome

just finished taking 6 new clones from my sativa.....
these will go outside for my monster grow.... ill let these an their sisters veg for 5 months!!!! planing on taking abt 20-25 sativas outside by mid april... and they should b ready for harvest in sep/oct

My cloning process

the stems i cut for cloning should be abt 3-4 inches long with 2 nodes and 2fan leaves.....

i cut each long stem into smaller pieces.... all u really need for a successful clone is a few fan leaves and a node

i use rootx cloning powder.... a dome.... water sprayer 4-5 times a day....
and get roots in 15-20 days

hear is a really good vedio on how to clone

that is how i lernt and have a 70-80% success rate

the first set of pics (1-3) r the clones i took yesterday.... looking real healthy

(pic 4 - 5) is where i take my clones after 15 days..... in this area/dome i dont humidify.... just keep the soil wet.... this forces the clones to start using the roots....

after 7 days in the second chamber i transplant the clones an put them under the cfl's (pic 6-7)
