I'll put in both.

My first clone look at post #8 and watch the videos (5 min each).

and

How to Clone Your Plant

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The first is my journal as I did it. The second is the high points of the journal with out the fluu (nice grow, what's that other plant, ect)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Note: root your clone for two weeks then after they are rooted you can grow 12/12 or veg.

So the lights fell, the plant is in pretty bad condition and the smaller one is ruined... the bigger one is all shriveled up and kind of bent... is there still hope? i put the lights back up and gave it a really small water, and then another really small water 1 1/2 hours later, then the lights clicked off and i didn't get a picture in time... will it be okay?

I plan on starting 4 new ones in a week regardless of if it's completely fucked or not, but i'd hate to have to chunk it, it was growing so well :(

last july i just finshed this



The little grow kitten (Leo) said good to grow.

before


then I just had to get my pictures of all the up grades with the plants in there. Well I f'n feel. look



It looks bad.

But after a clean up that include a little yes MrsRocket, you did say that ok dear i will be........ 4 hour fast Foward to the realy damage.

From a post later this is what i said


===========================

Every single clone is 100% fine.

#1 no damage at all.

#3 Worst damage 9 mid way up branches broke or were pruned.

#5 Minor damage 1 small branch broken and 4 more pruned,

1 23watt cfl broken.

1 shelf bracket (the one I was using as a support)

The plus side those little branches had over 30g of wet bud.

Do to the fact I micro wave dryed about 5g of #5 Mrs Rocket and myself have been so buzz all weekend ............ I forgot what I was typing.

There where 3 of those trees. the first 3 i ever grew they are seeded to the gill. Plus 6 of the 9 clones. I had 3 of each strain. 3 were vegging to mothers. 6 just in flower and well vegged.

dope mustbounce, and those 44 oz cup i'm using for some 40" fall amost every day i just set it back up. just be extra careful when stoned I leared it now you did.

Edit

haha man you got to be smoking some good, pass it my way! by my concern is i didn't just knock the plant over, the CFL's (i think 2 of them) were actually touching the plant for about 10 minutes AND leaning on it and made it bend all out of wack... i mean, this thing shriveled up into what looks like a piece of shit when compared to those pictures on my first post, it's a sad sight...

Thanks for all the help. I don't think i'm going to post anything else in here for a few days because it will just be rambling until i get more pictures or make some more progress... which if that doesn't happen tomorrow then it won't happen till saturday or sunday.

But for the record:
1. I can't order anything online, and as of right now, anything that cost more than 20 dollars is pretty much out of my spending limit, i don't have a job
2. However, i do plan on finding some pH up and down, i'm going to look for it at pet stores, i figure they might have it, along with some pH test strips to test the water
3. As soon as i get seeds, at least 3 are going into some miracle grow organic soil.
4. Pictures will be up within 5 days. Maybe tomorrow, if i get the time
5. Sometime within the next few weeks, i'm going to attempt cloning using 50% perlite and 50% MG organic soil

Randy, I'm confused. Did the fall on your current grow or is it a past grow? That sucks man...

This grow is ruined... i'm just going to start over.
I got pH test strips today but didn't have money for pH up and pH down... anyways, i'll be back on sunday or monday, going on a vacation :hump:
Next time... i'm starting 2 seeds every 2 weeks... = hopefully half oz - 1 and half oz every 2 weeks... i think i've got the hang of it now... i just made a stupid mistake and tried to hang ten CFLs on something that was only strong enough to hold about 4... i suppose we all learn at some point.
Next time i'll be making sure my water has the right pH. I've learned enough that i'm pretty confident even though my plants never got to the flowering stages, i see good things happening soon.
Until then, happy smoking :blsmoke:

The purple color could be a phosphorous deficiency.

From weedfarmer.com, "Phosphorus (P) is necessary for photosynthesis and works as a catalyst for energy transfer within the plant. Phosphorus helps build strong roots and is vital for flower and seed production. Highest levels of phosphorus are used during germination, seedling growth and flowering.

Deficiencies will show in older leaves first. Leaves turn deep green on a uniformly smaller, stunted plant. Leaves show brown or purple spots."

lol just read the last post. Bummer, man! Here's a strapped-for-cash tip: I got free 3 gallon pots from a garden supply store. They grow trees and bushes in cheapo plastic pots, then chuck the pots after use. When I asked specifically for "cheap plastic pots", they told me I could just grab a few from out back. They look just like the ones in SeeMoreBuds' book.

Actually, before he offered them to me, first he asked me what I was planning to grow in them, and I was caught off guard, so I was like, "uh...um...lettuce?"

Good luck next time!

You know, I honestly rarely check my ph levels. I have the stuff to check and bring it up or down with just to lazy to do it every time i water. I have checked my tap water and its usually high right out the tap. I let it sit over night before I water with it usually. I'm pretty lazy and still get results that make me happy. If i was running hydroponics i'd pay more attention, but i have the two waterfarm buckets i bought and dont even use them. Kind of a PITA to me.

And the newpaper pots work better than you'd think, they're about 20 pages thick, i wrap them tightly around a coffee can and tape them all the way around, they work good enough for up to about 3/4 liter, more than that and i'd be pushing it but i don't plan to get pots that big anyways, and since it's newspaper, it allows good drainage.

its newspaper and it also leeches unwanted inks into your soil

you could get several nursery pots from any local nursery for close to free, maybe a quarter a piece. That newspaper just seems like a bad idea
