The clones I took from my current grow took forever to root (over two weeks), and they looked terrible, but I kept tending them, and now they are thriving.

It's been a busy week but I finally got a chance to get some pics. Not much new growth, but the bottom leafs are yellowing, and the buds are (slowly) getting frostier. Still have a few weeks to go, though. The Bushy One: The Tall One: The same pattern as always: The Bushy One is more...

I was looking into Neem oil - I wonder if the kind you use for insecticide is the same as the kind they make South-Asian toothpaste with. I did a little reading on velvet vs clover mites; One is a predator, the other not. They're pretty slow-moving, which make them easy to crush when I see...

I think that's what they are. Yesterday, I gathered a few pine cones for a still life photo. This morning I noticed some tiny red critters crawling on the bag the cones were in, and there's a few crawling on the pots that have my clones:o These things are tiny, maybe a tenth of a millimeter...

I hit this trifecta on my previous grow :dunce:

I took off most of mine recently, and the plants are thriving.

Looks good! Hope you have enough room for them!:bigjoint:

I have a 20x jewelers loupe, which is just strong enough. Remember, sharpness is more important than mere magnification.

I've had friends use those with stellar results.

What size are those sockets? Regular Medium Edison, or Mogul base? If the latter, you will likely need an adapter.

I have the 400W Sun System 2 like rwbrock, and agree with what he said. The center of gravity is over to the ballast side, which makes it more awkward to handle. Best to put it in place and leave it there. Works fine, though. They do have one now with a digital ballast, which is only like half...

A quick update: the buds on The Tall One, while still smaller, definitely look nicer than yesterday, a bit fuller. Took two more leaves off from the "crown", as they'd gotten a bit big. Both plants' colas are getting nice and dense. So much nicer than my previous crappy grows; I'm happy.

I have two plants of the same strain (from seed, not clones) flowering in my tent. One has noticeably better beds than the other. so I defoliated the other a day or two ago; left the "better" one alone. Growing sided-by-side, I'm real curious to see how she responds.

Really enjoying this thread! First one I've subscribed to. I tried LST on my previous, crappy grows, with mediocre results, but I'm eager to try again, now that I have better lighting, better ventilation, and a better strain. I'll be watching here for inspiration!

After the haircut: Before: I'm going to see how that "crown" works. The leaves are not so big, and a lot of light gets between the tips, plus they don't shade the lower branches at all. I tried taking a pic of a bud from both plants next to each other, for comparison, but had trouble...

OK, I tried defoliating The Tall One. There's still several up around the top, but I'd have to snip rather than pluck to get those, and didn't have a scissors handy. I figured there's nearly as much leaf area exposed, just lower. She'll still be getting plenty of light, only now at the...

I did take one set of leaves off each plant, and it did not seem to cause any harm. I might give this technique a try on one of them, and I can compare.

Filling out a bit up top. Although shorter, The Bushy One is a little more vigorous. Started LSTing the clones, except for one that I'm going to wait until I re-pot them. Need to buy some Perlite first. The little funny-looking one I was so concerned about looks like it wants to be tied down:

I've thought about that, but I think I'll let them be for now. There seems to be plenty of light reflected off the sides of the tent, so the interiors are pretty well illuminated. What I'm wondering about is the undergrowth on The Bushy One. Not a lot of light gets down there, there's no...

Thanks! I should add that I am feeding them with Fox Farms Tiger Bloom since they've been flowering. I'm trying to decide what I might do with the clones - LST, topping, natural, or what. The current two I decided to do natural partly to see how my improved setup would perform, but I think...
