First grow, stealth style

[Spanky's Monkey]

You growing from bagseed ghost?

 

[cedarghost]

yes sir. i have 3 different strains going. I'm going to find the best and clone it. once i make it through a grow or two, I may play with some real seeds.

 

[cedarghost]

Here are the two girls I am keeping so far. They are 31 days from seedling, 10 days in flower and i started clones yesterday.
Here is the messed up mainline attempt:



And here is the other. One of her budsites grew into the damned light yesterday. More learning experience...

 

[Spanky's Monkey]

That's messed up on the bagseed. Out of 4 random seeds so far I only got 1 male. Hope your luck improves.

 

[cedarghost]

Thanks man. I started with ten seedlings. I have 4 left including the two definite females, so 6 out of 10 so far have been males! It's all good now though. I have clones.
I have 2 new seedlings from some new stuff I bought. Hoping one of them turns out female. Am i wrong in assuming if the weed was good with seeds in it, that it will be much more potent unpollinated? I hope so!

 

[Spanky's Monkey]

I make that assumption as well. Hey, we may very well be making asses of ourselves but either way we will be smoking our own crop.

Thank you sir!
Great news! The other plants were all showing pistils this morning! I now have 4 lovely ladies in flower. I now have to decide, keep 4 for SOG or keep the best two and lst or Scrog to keep them short.....

 

[cedarghost]

Spanky,you have it right. It will so nice to have my own crop!

 

[cedarghost]

after a bondage session yesterday, I can see 4 new bud sites!

Another thing I didn't think about before I dove into this.....I have 4 plants in this cabinet, which is your basic bathroom vanity, so they are going to fill it up. There will be no room for my clones when I am ready to stick them in as a perpetual grow. So the only thing I can think of to do is either get another flower cabinet or flip my veg cabinet to 12/12. I am just not sure how clones would do with 12/12.

 

[Spanky's Monkey]

Rooted clones will flower when you 12/12, non-rooted clones will too but they'll die if the roots are not yet established.

 

[cedarghost]

Damn good info! Thanks man.

Transplanted the smallest girl today from her dinky 2 liter to a new one gallon smartpot. she had a lot of roots in there. Anyway, here's some pics.

Here's my clone and veg box. I have 5 clones in there, 2 from my first plant and 1 from each of the others. The first 3 are in dirt and the 2 I took today i just put tap water in a glass, shaved about an inch of bark/skin??? and stuck them through the plastic wrap into the water. I've read so much on cloning that it made my head spin, so I decided to keep it simple and experiment myself to see what works. Thus some in soil and some in water.

If you can find some root gel or powder at your local hydro or hardware shop your clones will love you for it. Also your gonna need to keep moisture on the leaves. The leaves will dry out until the roots form and start suppling more water to the upper growth. This is very important if you want those clones to survive. Keep them moist and happy, not soaked.

I have been misting them two to three times a day. I will get some root powder or gel. The two that are 4 days old are standing up nice and firm now. They were a little flimsy for the first day or two. Lol

^ Try fresh aloe vera plant. I just bought a few for like $3 apiece. Just split open a lil piece of aloe "leaf" and push the stem into the clear goop, just like Clonex, except not synthetic at all

I also mix some of the goop into a spray bottle and foliar spray new clones and they love it! Had a few rooted in peat cups in 5-6 days, just by spraying the tops 2x....

Never heard of that! I'll have to see if I can find some aloe plants and try it on some.

Hell yeah, cloning in a cup of water rocks. I have 95% success with that method. Only one advice - It's better if move them away from direct light.. they will root faster. Maybe build a small cardboard shed or something..
