Clone to Flowering (LollyPopp'n)

This is going to be on trippy grow, I can already tell. I have had my clones under 12/12 lights for 5 days now. They are showing signs of new growth.

Her is what I am thinking might be freaky. Plants in flowering will grow about 3 times their size. My clones are small, about 3 inches. Now I figure, even though they are already two life cycles mature and already showing sex, that they should take about 14-17 days to start showing buds, at least. So by then they should be about 6-8 inches tall, then if they triple in size I will be looking at 18-24 inch plants, and with carefull pruning, they should just be single cola's. Other then two of them that will have two main colas.

Once the buds start forming, I will post pictures.

cool , i can't wait to see them...i'll have some pics up in an hour or so...i just finished transplanting my 2nd batch of clones into flower and moved the first batch around a bit.
you'll see the buds and the pruning in effect.

So my clones have been planted for about 7 days now. They were in the root dome for 10-12 days. I just gave them a feeding. I gave them iguanna juice and Mother Earths Tea at 30% strength, and , And I also added a nutrient called Insta Green. This nutrient is 3/0/0. Since these clones have been about 18 days with no feeding, and also taken directly to flowering, I figure they must be Starved of Nit. I will only feed them the Insta green for 1-2 feedings, just to give them a little boost of it.

Also, I placed my 400 watt HPS light over them today. I placed it about 3 feet above them.

I will be trying to get a few close up photots tomorrow of one of my clones. This clone has been under 12/12 for 17 days, 13 of those days under a t-5, and a few 43 wat cfls. Now is under a 400 watt HPS light. This clone is already showing signs of bud formation. Now all of the clone are showing sex, this is not what I am talking about. This one plant is starting to form buds already.

I have decided not to show pictures tomorrow. I will show pictures once buds have formed. I want the shock factor.

the longest mine have taken to root was 17 days...but i had several probs...the fastest was 9 days...that 400 is over your cuttings? 3 feet though...right on, but overkill ya know.

maybe use those 43w cfl's for the clones and the t-5 for the mums ....just a suggestion, but if it's workin for ya then screw me and go-head!

sorry i didnt post those pruned pics yet but i swear i'll do it tomorrow after i get back from the hydro shop

Wow!
Very good thread!
Thanks to all that posted!!!

Here are a few shots of my clones in just over a week of 12/12...

Well,

Later...

well i guess i have to get in on the fun here....first off....LDB, this is pre- 3rd week pruning. but these are my babies at 20 days into flower


you can see the staggered growth...the 4 rows in the back are from 6 different mothers and i'm still WEEDING out the weak moms.

again this is pre-3rd week prune. but you can see the buds startin to stack.....sorry about the blurr

I would let them grow to about 6” or 7” before setting them to flower. You will get a bigger harvest. Try keeping a log on all your mother plants and there clones. you will be able to determine the optimal conditions for your grow. I use a spreadsheet for the easy layout and speed of keeping track of all the data.

here is my hps that i blew due to hot starting...the hydro guy was telling me about a soft start thingy....can i make one of these/do i need one?



here's a shot of my freshly ...end of the third week...s.o.g. pruned beauties ...16 of them staggered. i'm still workin out which mums the bees knees



wide shot of the flower room....big ones in day 24 of flower and the 2nd batch went in late due to cloner issues. you can see the carnage in the bottom of table 4.

i had to force myself to go back over them a second time to really take it off......it was painfull, but i'm over it. and i think i'll be happy when i see the results.

just an update for ya

You think that is nice. wait until you see my pictures. I am not new to growing. My clones look nice and healthy, with female signs all over the place, nice and short, just like I want them.

subscribed, let's see those pics then LDB

I hear yah Murty, But if I show pictures of some 9 inch clones with some bumps..... Which the bumps are the buds starting to grow.. What is the interest. I need like 12" plants that are 6" worth of young buds to amaze... I want my picturres to amaze people.

I have clones that are 8 inches high, and starting to form buds. But my peace of sheet 7 pixel camera will not show what it really is.

Well...

Here is something unimpressive for you guys to look at...

How about those 4 inch suckers...LOL

i put an 8" clone directly into flowering. It stretched to 22 inches. It has a cola that is roughly 9-10 inches long and growing by the day. This is my new favorite method.

Ok, So here are a few pictures of my two crops I have going right now. The first 4 pictures are of a few plants I have had in flowering now for about 3 1/2 weeks. They Vegged for about 3 weeks. I know they are shitty buds, I am thinking of throwing them away. As one person stated today., that I know nothing about growing and that I have no ability to grow nice buds.

The last 3 pictures are of my clones. They have been under 12/12 light now for 17 days, only 4 of those days are under a 400 watt HPS. The other days were a t-5, and (6) 43 watt cfls. I know the close up is fuzzy, but if you look close you can see three pubic hairs.

I am thinking it will probably take about 3 weeks for the buds to really start showing. This is a new method for me. First time I have flowered with zero veg time.

I hope there is something I have done right.... LMAO
