Are you talking about cloning from a clone? if you are yes it degrades..but if you've been pulling from 1 mother everytime,,your going to get pretty much the same results everytime

ok, here we go. the plant that keeps getting referred to was a mother. that's why it is hacked up. i use my moms once or twice then start a new one. i am using molasses. i was flower my plants at 5" tall. i think was my problem. that band the plants were focusing all their energy on stalk frowth while they stretched. i will let this batch run it's course as i make some decisions on what to do next.

i crossed it a few years back but i just grew it for the first time this year. i only have a handful of seeds left so i will try to get a male going.



so i tied everything down dropped the light 8" lower then what it had been at and am going to veg until they are 14 - 16" using more nitrogen. that's were i am for now. thank you everyone for the help.

Might be way late with this, but if the plants are all different heights that means the light can only be as low as the tallest plant. to make up for this with the smaller plants why not raise them instead of lowering the light? put the shorter plants up on cinder blocks or something, just a suggestion.

CO2


sometimes i'm so stupid. about a month ago it warmed up outside. i had been burning my "kerosun" kerosene heater for the full 12 hour light cycle. it was positioned just in front of my fresh air intake. i was pumping them full of some serious co2. i stopped about a month ago and my plant growth came to a screeching halt. time to by a new delivery system.

thank you everyone for your help. salamandastron, thank you. i brought how some blocks and some aluminum grating cut into proper lengths for shelves. now, using 2 blocks and 1 piece of grading i can raise 5 plants at a time. i cut varying heights of blocks so i can adjust as needed. :mrgreen:

looking a lot better, vegging with better penetrating lighting during veg helps A LOT. i did a veg with one 105w cfl and another veg with the 105w and a couple for under growth and the one with more undergrowth lighting looked as good as good as one batch under a 400w mh...

do you only have 1 light in that setup? and like 15 plants under it? if so you might want to cut the # of plants in half
