Also, aside from the last posts on the last page, i'll update you real quick.
The beginning of this grow started with 4 100% Pure Indica Master Kush clones, and 1x Purp #1 Seed fem. The seed was more of a whim, and the clones were the original plan. Those are the original 5, C1, C2, C3, C4, and S1. C for Clone, S for Seed.
They're now in Week 3 of Flowering, and Day 61 as of 5/10/11. They're also under a 400W HPS 2300°K.
On 4/08/11 I took 4 clones, C3-1, C4-1, C4-2, CS1-1. (Cloned from seed). After 2 weeks they rooted, (peat, takes forever sometimes) They spent a week @ 12/12 since I was unsure as to what I would do with them. Then, when I was sure I would be keeping them, I put them into veg in my roaming veg room. Meaning I veg them wherever the light and temps are right. @ 6am, they're under 6 26W 6500°K CFLs with reflectors, when the sun is right in the proper window around 12pm, they sit under the sun until about 7pm, then they sit under a 400W HPS for an hour, then, back under the CFL's for another 7 hours, as they are currently under a 20/4 light cycle.
It has a heating pad underneath that was on a timer so it would come on 15 minutes on high every hour or so, kept it about 85 in there with 70-80% RH. Then rooted great in about 14 days, and a week or 2 later they were transplanted.
As you can see, I topped 3 of them, and here are the tops
(It sucks you can't see the stem or how small it is, that's mostly what the experiment is about for me, if a stem that small can root, but i'm more or less just curious, thats all.)
And finally, as an experiment, I topped my clones, C4-1, C4-2, and CS1-1. And for the fun of it, I took the tops I'd cut off (which had stems no more then 1//2 to 1/3 of an inch remaining) and without sterilization, I cut a diagonal cut on the stem, dipped in rooting powder, and simply stuck them in some very poor miracle grow soil (bad, even as miracle grow goes...), and covered the top with saran wrap. I watered beforehand, and have been misting since with Superthrive, and pHed R/O water. And there's a hole (covered in a second layer of clear wrap) that I occationally breath into to add a little C02 for them and give them fresh air, after several days, they still look great. We'll see if they ever root and begin to grow. They each have 1 node and a tiiiny bit of stem. We'll see if they make it.
And finally...When the vegging plants get a bit older, I have more CFL's to put them under. I currently have 17x 26-23W CFL's (the 23 watters aren't any different or less bright then the 26 watters) 13x 6500ºK CFL's, and 4x 5000ºK CFL's. My HPS is also switchable, but by the time flower is over for this batch, the next batch will be ready to flower. So, we'll have to see.
Anyway, I know MANY people get offended when you ask for an update instead of reading the 100+ pages of their thread (really?! 100 pages?! I don't have TIME for all that). If your interested in learning, then read back and check out my 20 or so pages, if not, and you wanna see some good bud porn, then stay tuned!
Everyone wants to be THE TEACHER so much, that they just don't understand why you won't wanna ready 10 pages of updates, and 90+ pages inbetween of "GREAT GROW DUDE, PLANTS LOOK AWESOME, YOUR A GOOD GROWER!"
And, as a grower, I enjoy those comments just as anyone would, but readings 90 pages of them is a bit much.... To each their own though. Feel free to ask for any info your interested in whenever guys! All I ask is you read a little to get the idea of what i'm doing I'm still on the same grow as the start of the thread, the pics are the VERY beginning (first day planted) of the plants that are on my video posted on the last page.
And smaller ones clones of the originals, are my next grow essentially, but I should always have plants in veg and in flower.
And finally finally, my LATEST video update from 5/09/11
