Ok it looks like the remaining 4 are boys, please take a look at the the attachments and help me confirm this, I also added a picture of my ghetto water supply.

Hey H.
Here are some pics of the light system that I was talking about.
I can't tell how well it works because I only used it for a few weeks. What I can tell you is that it is very bright for the bulb, I also like the fact that it has a cover over the light and that it is made for outside. I got two and plan to put them side by side and install them on a board that I can adjust up and down. Hope this helps. If you have any questions just ask.

Thanks Logan, yup those are exactly what I amost paid 34 bucks for, good thing I didn't, do you think they sell those at costco's all the time or is it one of those things they have once in awhile?

Ok guys I went ahead and cloned one of my male plants today, however this is just an experiment as I don't have any rock wool or rootone yet, I have four males to practice on lol

I got the idea from the following picture,

I'm trying one in straight water and the other with MG, I'm thinking the MG is going to kill it but who know's it just may do better than only water, I took after pics, check them out.

LOOKS LIKE GREEN SPIDERS LMAO!!

One question, being that the clones are in water, would it still be a good idea to keep the tops wet by spraying them once in awhile?

Hey H.
I only have seen them for the past few months, but I was never really looking for them. you know what I mean?
As for the clone? I know they like Humidity. I don't understand just putting them in water when they don't have roots to drink it, that is why you spray the leafs. I'm not that good at making clones, I have killed the past 12 clones. If you find out let me know.

Rgr thanks Logan, I was informed of the same thing in another thread, so I fixed my clones up a bit I also topped and cloning it, check them out.

Its hard to tell what they look like, but they don't look dead. Thats a good thing. Are you sure that they are males? Off that, I was just looking at one of my plants up close and I think one might be a herm. mabe from stress or heat. I don't know if it is but one side of the nod has a hair and the other side has a little round something. I will take a pic later. The both are flow. and were clones(female). I think I rather it be a herm. so I can get some good seeds from the plants. 12 days in flow and I can all ready smell them. It would cool if you send a scratch and sniff pic. Talk to later.

hello humboldt,
nice grow, i am jealous. do you mind answering a couple questions? thought you had to put plant into flowering stage for about a week before telling sex? i like you want to clone and not waste time cloning males. from reading yur post it seems you left your plants in veg till they showed pre-flowers. how long did that take? also how tall are your plants?

closet.cult · #18 10-10-2007, 06:17 AM

damn those girls are bushing out with those cfls. good job. cant wait to see what they look like flowering.

Humboldt · #19 10-10-2007, 06:38 PM

Thanks for the comments guys, I can't wait for the flowering either, I'm still shooting to start this weekend, if everything goes well.

party5 I don't know the exact date but it's been just over two months also I'm not completely sure about a couple of the male plants but I will let them veg/ longer in a separate room, speaking of I just removed the males and put them in the veg/clone room, they where cramping up my girls, needed to give them a breather, I had too many plants in that little space and not enough fresh are/oxygen for them all and the clones seem to be doing well check them out.

The clones,

They seem to be staying alive and the one in the green somewhat clear cup seems to be doing something as far as rooting, the tip of the stem where I cut/slices they are starting to spread apart and looks like something starting to come out, it's kind of hard to see and I'm afraid to open the others to look at them, I will just keep them going and if the one that I can see if roots actually take off then I will check the other as long as they continue to look healthy

Newly arranged grow rooms, First my girls and some stretched and stunted plants and I still need to get something to lift them closer to the lights, I was thinking small square hollow bricks that I can stack accordingly.

Males and clones,

It's been pretty stressful keeping these plants alive with what little I know and with what I've been working with, it's been fun though and if I make it through this round the next should be much easier.

lookin really good man, are you changing the clone water at all? I hear it really helps
to change it daily, but i've never done it that way so who knows
