as of last night my camera does not do its justice. :) my clones have started new growth. 100% success rate. i just filled a shot glass with ph 5.5 water and a 1/4 teaspoon of rooting powder mixed in. and let the cuttings soak till roots filled the glass.

2 weeks until the Afghan Kush or AK mother is finished! she is looking nice now I mean nothing huge but im impressed. Now all im hoping is that she will tighten up I don't care if she gets any fatter as long as she grows nice and dense. Like some buds are dense when you squeeze em there is no squish but others i dunno.. I'm hoping that week 7 and week 8 will take care of that although week eight is flush and darkness. So really its riding on week 7.

Good thread youngbuzz! Please post your details with starting seeds and your cloning. It's all done in a shot glass?
Where else can you find all this valuable information! I love reading all the different methods growers use. even better is when growers tell their mistakes (mine are fuc-ups). That way, hopefully I don't make the same mistake! Not twice anyway, Ha ha! Please tell me the details when you germ your seeds and cutting. Your solution (magical), water (ph) when and how far with lights. BTW nice and healthy plants! As males we do know about females and when they look their best. That's why WE fall in love with our LADIES!!
Salute Growers!

^^^ check the party cup comp thread in this section for alot of peoples methods.

Another tidbit. I use aloe gel straight from an aloe Vera plant for cloning gel. No harmful chems or hormones like all the other cloning gels.

bmiller- will do!

adjorr- looking nice man good dense growth in veg. Jelous on the branching vs. height.

my plants go into darkness in 7 days exact. 9 days to harvest i will have pictures posted before then and at harvest + final weight and smoke report.
I got a new cutting for cloning of an unknown strain, what I do know is that the mother is captain dank!

I might harvest my other clones early.. so I can put my new cutting in hydro and grow it out. All depends if it roots or not. What do you think?

I think if you harvest early your robbing yourself of better bud and more of it. Your other clones can be kept alive for another week easily enough, I think its worth waiting. Plus the longer the clones have to root the better there root structure will be when you do plant them. Though you will probably need to add water more often as there root system gets bigger

I am loving the branching instead of height as well. One of my plants looks more likes its 2 plants growing out of the same stem lol, my camera batteries are dead or id take a quick pic to show. Get paid Friday ill buy new batteries then.

I was thinking of doing some LST this weekend but looking at the way they are now im thinking I might try a super crop, I'll super crop each of the branches right down at the main stem and im thinking this might give me better results in the end, especially if I decide to start flowering in the next few weeks. I know this strain responds really well to super cropping as I did it with my original plant and me and my friend have been growing a beastly mother plant at his place over the last few months with several rounds of super cropping. Making these plants short and wide is top priority as really don't want to raise my lights at all (pain in the ass because my filter and fan would need to be moved, and id have to buy ducting). I figure I want my final height to be 1 - 1 & 1/2 feet

i understand your point completely, but i am not worried about a loss of weed my clones are about 2 weeks 12 12. if i have to wait the additional 6 weeks to let them finish thats 6 weeks those other clones will be flowering. considering the cuttings were already flowering ill have to revert the cutting back to veg at the clones 5-r weeks flower i dont want to do that. i would rather sacrifice the clones from the strain i already grew for the new strain plus the new one smells like mango or tropical fruit.

adjorr- that is wild how big of a yeild do you expect with each foot tall plant?

Id be happy with 2 oz or more per plant, hopefully I get more then that, but its a reasonable goal. The original mother yielded about 5 oz but it was vegged for nearly 3 months from seed. If I veg for the entire month of October I could probably get 5 oz a plant again easily but I wouldn't have anything to smoke until January

Update 6 days to go!!

4 days into the flush I can see some signs of plant struggle and stress.
The plant is 4 days from breeder harvest time, the majority of the thricomes are cloudy maybe, maybe 10% AMBER. I do not know if it is ready but if it isn't I flushed for what will be 10 days. Is there a point to prolong any longer.

Heres some photos..

5 oz damn I'm aiming for an oz /half. If you get 2 ounces of each plant imma give you rep.
I haven't gotten less then 2oz a plant yet, but ive only done 2 harvests so far.

Your plants are looking really close to being done. Myself I always feed right up to the last watering before harvest, I personnaly believe the plant wants the nutes so I might as well be feeding them. Others believe that the stress will produce more resin and the flavor will be better after flushing out the chemical nutes. They might be right, I might be right its a preference thing I guess. If you have 10% amber trichromes then she's ready to be chopped any time :joint:

So i decided to chop her two days earlier on account that my sister has gone into surgery monday and wednesday is my day off instead of chopping wednesday im going to visit her. Any ways chopped it down trimmed her. And ended up with 224 grams wet. I will have to upload pictures asap. Hoping the dry weight will be impressive. Heaviest bud wet was 26 ish grams.
