Well hello fellow stoners.
I gave the whole grow journal a shot earlier when we first started growing but I had too many questions and not enough grow time. So I'm starting the journal over ina new thread and I'll try and bring you guys up to speed as fast as I can.
I'll have the old pictures tomorrow after school when I get them off my friend's camera. So for now all you have is todays pic in the reply below.
We started with 2 Kali Mist seeds. Germinated them in wet paper towels on the window seal. They were started on Thanksgiving night and sprouted some roots the following evening.
We are using those BuzzPlugz or whatever they are called and we started with 2 Daylight CFL's we purchesed at the hydro store. (A quick note about these lights, they were more expensive than the ones you find at home depot and wal-mart and stuff but their Lumens per watt are crazy compared to other CFL's.) I'll get the specs on those lights tomorrow as well.
We planted the seedlings in to 2 pots with miriclegrow(sp?) soil from homedepot. Each plant got 1 CFL and we watered them about every 1-2 days depending on how they needed it. We also kept the CFL's pretty close to the plants and we had hardly any stretching at all.
In fact, at first we were worried that our plants were too short. Especially since they are Kali Mist which is known to be a very tall plant.
So on New Years eve we finally broke down and bought a 4 bulb 4' T5 set up.
We also took about 4 clones from each plant. One of the donors turned out to be male so he was given to another friend as a house plant
still a pretty plant even with the balls...
As for mama, now she sits in the Attic because she stunk up the upstairs and her clones finally are showing roots on about day 6 after the cloning.
We just put the clones in a little Bubbleponic system that we fabricated and we also threw in a new germinated seed from some reg just for fun and well... we have the space.
So tonight the roots were finally starting to stretch outside the mesh baskets and in to their drink We are using Dynagrow nutes in our bubble ponic system as well as in the water supply for the soil mom.
We've also been flowering the mother plant for about 4 days now. Pistils are starting to shoot out all over and the growth has really started to speed up.
It seems like she grows up 1.5inches then out then the next day up, then out, etc. etc.
I have some pics from tonight and I'll back track and get those older pics for you guys. I'll get a ruler too so I can get the actual height but right now I am guessing she is around 14inches now at 4 days into flower. Growing about 3 inches every 2 days. Do you think I need to top her soon? We have about 5 feet verticle space but that doesn't include the pot and the lights above, so if she gets around 4 feet I don't know that we can get and bigger without tying her up.
Also we didn't start the dynagrow nutes until about a week ago so all of the older pics will be just plain soil and water.
