no prob.. i grew out gigabud earlier this year.. i had a clone 5 weeks in flower but i sold the plant. not a hard plant to grow, just takes way longer than it says on the websites

heres a pic 2 weeks before harvest
hopefully your grow does better than mine, i think if i was to grow it now it would been way more productive.. i got 2 o'z dry

Wow, I'm amazed at the stretch on that gigabud! I got this one gigabud seed as a freebee, and I was afraid it was going to out grow the area - based on what I've see come out of other grows - but I may have a short phenotype. It's not a runt, but short and stocky with fat leaves. The base of the stem is the biggest in the garden.

The heavy blue spectrum in these CMH bulbs help keep the stretch down, and I also had some light burn on the gigabud, but I think I have a short pheno.

Next grow gigabud and blue moonshine; clones are standing by.

The light I'm using Philips Master Color Retro White (4k full spectrum)


As much blue as eye blue hortilux

More red than HPS

High UV (wear sunglasses) :blsmoke:

Nice thread, great looking plants and a wonderful setup, I am all outdoor but when I read your post on BB's grow journal I had to come take a look. It was well worth it, I'm subscribed. I too am an old timer mid 50's, coming out of the 60's stone'n. One last comment so I don't bore everyone, in your post on the yellow clones, try some Super Thrive in you water when you clone, works for me for many many years. Good Luck and I'll be watching

Hiya canefan, glad to have you on board.

I've heard good things about superthrive. I may have to pick some up and try it on half the clones that look stunted - as a test. Thanks

You can see the stunted ones on the left:

What's brewing?

High Phosphorus Organic Tea


4 TBLS each:
High phosphorus Bat Guano
Rainbow mix (bloom)
Earth Juice (bloom)
Grandmas Molasses

Each plant will receive a 1/2 gallon of tea - after (first) wetting the growing medium with a 1/2 gal plain water.

Love the grow man. Maybe one day I can do a grow like yours lol. Thanks for the post on my skunk.
Thanks for the kind words volcomets. Stick around, flowering is just getting started LOL

You don't have to add regular nutes to a tea. Just "sling a sack of sheep shit" (say that 10 times fast lol) into a barrel, circulate it, and you got tea lol

The "rainbow mix" is a soil amendment, but I'm making tea with it. The Guano could be used as a top dressing, but I figured this would be easier, and it looks cool. LOL

Green here are some clones I think they are 6 days now, sorry the pics aren't the best new camera is in the mail....lol. I gave my plants a drink of super thrive the day before I took the clones, then one drop per gallon of water. I might add I use this stuff in cloning all my plants, roses, orchids, soft cuttings of other plants. I don't know if it is organic or not and don't really care, if it isn't its the only product I use that isn't. Really think you will see the difference in your clones and in the over all vigor of the plants in your grow. Word of caution once they start to flower don't use it anymore, tends to increase the flower time without increasing the yield. Good luck and I invite you to my journal as well, mine is totally outside in soil.

One reason my clones aren't showing much vigor, is that I waited until after 12/12 to take them, but I definitely gotta get me some of that super thrive; I'm sure my local nursery carries it.

They call it an "organic synthetic", but I would only use it for cloning, so I'm not too concerned with whether it's pure organic either.

I'll definitely stop by your grow. Thanks for the invite

My cloning skills suck, and I rooted in soil, instead of a seedling mix, but I learned a lot this round.

I also picked up some superthrive and gave them 1/8 Tsp to a liter, hopefully that will provide some more vigor.

It's been almost 2 weeks; All but 2 have roots,so I re-cut the 2 that are barren, and applied more rooting hormone.

I'm pretty sure I won't have to worry about the clones outgrowing my veg space, before the flowering chamber is free again. All's well that ends well.

Now on with the show :hump:

BMS got tea yesterday. I thought the larger pots would be able to wait 2 more days, but Gigabud woke up thirsty (see leaf wilt in pic). I also applied tea to the unknown skunk/sativa even though one of them could have waited one more day. The Unknown indicas in 5 gal buckets are still slightly moist; maybe they'll get their treat tomorow. Using 1 container size would make things a lot easier.

Gigabuds lower leaf wilting from lack of moisture



gigabud measures 28"



Gigabud needs to put some weight on if she's going to live up to her name



Unknown sativa flowering like mad
