And my camera broke so... Shit.

I'll take more pictures when I get a new one, but at the moment everything has sexed except one little young'n. Topped two of them today (both the northern lights) cuz they were getting too tall. Tried to turn the tops into clones. We'll see how that goes.

Made a cloner, still have a little bit to go before it's operational, but it should be pretty handy given I'll probably end up trimming these girls quite a bit. I'm at day.... 32?

So just for the record, first showed definite sex at day 24, everyone finished probably day 30, but most were done near the beginning of that stretch.

When I have a plant that out grows the others I top it. That slows it down for a few days then I take the new growth and train it to grow sideways.

GOOD GOD! Finally an update. I got my camera fixed so here's some pictures. This is day 38 (pics from day 37).

3 of the girls were topped, and each top was replanted, the total number now being 16. That is, 13 actual females and 3 clones which may or may not live.

I'm currently working with what I think was a nitrogen deficiency, lots of leaves turning yellow, but I think it's getting better. My PPM is up to around 600 now, all bloom.

I've made a little cloning chamber in the bottom there. I took some blackout fabric, made it into a box with a velcro opening flap. It gets closed when the main lights turn off and I've got 2x 100W CFLs inside on 24/0.

Basically they're all looking good. There's one female left of the unidentified strain, and it's not doing too well, seems like it just has different needs than everyone else. The big bud that turned out female is fucking phenomenal! The picture of the flower is it.

Now your moving right along bud. Lookin good!
You got a perpetual thing going on.

So you have what, about 15 females?
That Big Bud, is that Sensi seeds strain?

16 theoretically. The 3 clones don't look like they're really gonna do much so make that 13, then the unknown strain is pretty much dying and I don't seem to be able to do anything to stop it. So really let's call it 12 females.

4x Northern Lights
2x Big Bud
1x Kush (?)
5x Bubblegum

The Big Bud is from marijuana-seeds.nl - I thought it was going to be the crappiest. Only 3 of the 10 seeds germinated. 2 turned out to be female and they are both just tearing shit up now, so apparently I was wrong. I'd like to clone, but the better of the two honestly doesn't really have any potential clones on it. Too bad. :-/

The northern lights just got way too tall too fast, so I ended up topping two of them. Otherwise, they're the second best looking (as far as amount of buds goes).

Bubblegum is pretty nice as far as height, seems pretty average as far as buds. The kush I'm thinking is not going to give me that much in the end.

I'm not sure if I would necessarily call this a perpetual. There's not enough room or light to really veg in that little cloning chamber. I'll probably end up doing something with the clones I currently have, then when I'm getting close to harvest I'll put a new batch in there to get ready to move in once the harvest is over.

Almost perpetual...

I dont know man, I have done it with 36" flower and 19" for clone/veg and started training early.
Heres a shot of the cab I used in a perpetual grow. I ran 4 grows back to back taking clones and vegging them while the others were flowering.




The journal is my LED/T5/400W Cabinet link below.

Hmmm.... I could see it with training, but if I were, for example, to take the clones that I have right now and try to keep them until I'm done with the harvest, they would be vegging for 2 months. Which isn't THAT much, but I'm not sure I can see 32 plants vegged for 2 months fitting in that little space.

I'll probably just take the best ones from this, make some mothers, then about a month down the line take more clones from my favorite and veg them for the last month of flowering, then just switch them over.

That said, if I had another entire cabinet like your's I would most definitely be doing a perpetual in probably the exact same way.

Haha, oh shit. I didn't realize you flowered in there too! I was just reading through your journal. You trained the fuck out of those ladies!

Yea man, I started more then I needed. Then watched them and picked the best ones, trained them and tossed the runts. When I harvested I moved the babes up and started flowering. I found I could take clones two weeks into flower without any adverse effects. With one week to root that left me with 5 weeks to veg.

I think you can do it.

Been a while since an update, it's day... 12+30+19 = 61. I'll post pictures later. One of the big buds hermied, so it had to go. I'm posting because of the other one.

So now, about a month into flowering, everything else has at least some level of trichomes already, most of them have a lot. But the big bud, despite having what seem to be the biggest buds, doesn't seem to have any trichomes at all. I'm wondering what I should do. I'm sure it'll develop some, but is is even worth leaving in there, or would it be better to give that space to something that's got some nice frosty crystals?
