this is that scrawny plant i almost threw out. what you think? will it produce? i have tryed to take a clone but it did not take. probaly messed it up myself.

i took a cut about 4in long. cut at a bias and dipped in clonex, then to a rockwool, which had been soaked in r/o h20 at about a ph of 5.5 no nutes. placed it in a tray with dome. temp 85. humidity 75-80%
here is a pic.

i have read alot of post. watched many vids on the cloning methods and it does not seems to complcated. is it the plant? the human? the gel? any advice would be great. ill go back over the threads and vids maybe i missed something.

#1 is the only one left for the bagseed I germed on 1/25. so its 23days.
#2 #3 #4 are from a friend said to be skunk #1. so they are 14days.
do these seem little for there age? how do they look? anybody even reading this thread? I am up to 193 views but no comments.

these are what I am down to. I killed the other 2 and gave up one the cloning till the others are big enough. I set up the drip system. and started nutes. I have decided after talking to hydro-shop guy, and reading riu, to mix the r/o water with tap water/ 1 part to 1 part.

lights: 1000w 24/7 30" away from plants
temp:73-78
humidity 35%-39%
water:
ph: 5.5-6.0
5 gallons 1/2 reverse osmosis 1/2 tap water
rockwool formula 1 A 5 tsp 5-0-4
rockwool formula 1 B 5 tsp 1-5-5
northern lights bloom enhancer 1/2 tsp
watering twice a day. about 5min enough to wet with run off.


the hydro-guy suggested the bloom enhancer after I described my plants to him. he said sounds like I have major ph swing and need a little fertilizer.

anybody have any tip? seems like mine are growing much slower than others I have seen in the journals. also I can ph the water to 5.5 then test the run off and its 6-6.5. is this normal? do I need to flush the plants or what?

did a little tweaking.moved everything to the floor. cut holes into top of reservoir for net pots. air pump and two air strip added to reservoir. water line 1 inch or so away from bottom of net pots. lots of splashing and bubbles. bottom of pots are somewhat wet. is this ok?

use same nutes and water as before. stopped watering so often, about once a day now. temp 70-85 / hum 35-45% / ph 5.5 - 6.5

pic 5 across is of the bag seed 26 day old.
the others are "said" to be skunk #1. 17 day old.

I spoke to a friend about my problems cloning. he suggested to just put a clipping in a glass of water. he said that's what he used to do. its been in there 3 days looks better than the 2 clipping I did with the clonex and rockwool. time will tell I guess.

can anybody help me out the the coloring why are they so light green. ph is between 5.5 and 6.5. drop method. meter on it way in the mail.

updated pics. any suggestions will be greatly be appreciated.

watering twice a day. for about 5 min. same nutes as before.
5 gallons 1/2 reverse osmosis 1/2 tap water
rockwool formula 1 A 5 tsp 5-0-4
rockwool formula 1 B 5 tsp 1-5-5
northern lights bloom enhancer 1/2 tsp

lights 24/7.
temp 70-78
humidity 40%-55%
ph 5.5-6.5+

seems like there is some growth very few days. one day I come in and seems like nothing. then the next day they seem to go nuts. is this normal? should there be growth everyday? is it due to ph swing? I check ph every day. every day I have to bring down 1-1.5 points. this is with drop method. meter will be here soon. a

anybody have a suggestion on a tds meter? what kind do you guys use?

this is my first grow. I did lots of research here. I know there are many experienced folks here. any pointer for a first timer?

the bigger one of the 4 is bagseed. sprouted 1/25. the other 3 are said to be skunk #1. sprouted 2/6

ok this is that plant I rescued from a friend. ahywireday1.jpg
this is what I looked like 1/25 when I got it.

someone said throw it out. what do you think now.
ahywir.jpghaywire.jpg4+1.jpg

I have tied it down to spread out the branches. cant see the wire. the fan leaves are so much smaller than the other plants. guess that's due to the stress. I have tried to clone this plant but it does not take. I have never cloned before so I may just be me.

its in soil and the ph reading from that probe you see is way above 7.0. I ph some water flushed it with about 4 gallons. but ph is still high. maybe the probe is wrong. any ideas how to bring the ph down in soil. this plant seem not to grow up. the branches and growth underneath do grow alittle.

313 people read this and 2 comments. i give up. nobody has any suggestion? come on man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You seem to be doing really well...you can move the ph up with baking soda and down with vinegar...Im a soil grower so I cant help you with the hydro part at all. I know you love that plant that you saved but you should really stop f*cking with it...focus on your little guys, the trauma that the rescue plant has went through is surely going to make it a hermie at best. You really should spend sometime reading others grow journals that are similiar to yours...ask them questions in their thread if they allow it and what you will find is that it will wrap back around to you....put the link for your grow journal in your signature then when you ask questions or make comments say hey check me out sometime and give me some feedback...I learn so much just by searching tags and read over and over the diff answers to any given question....It looks like you have put a lot of effort into your grow area....and though you may have done research prior, please trust me when I say it behooves you to be proactive in your learning by reading daily on diff things that people are doing then your answers will always be available..its like mommas and babies....you say theirs is cute and is that a cough that the little tike has and then she says your baby is cute to and is that....feed your community and it feeds you...

thanks for your post. everything you said makes since. i have done a lot of reading of other journals. not much posting, or question in their journals. and then i bitch about people doing the same to me. lol anyway good advice just what i was looking for.
