started pineapple chunk seeds today

you could do it just about anywhere the soft white cfl will work as youre only trying to get them to root light requirement at this stage is minimal less is best as cuttings are fragile & too much light fries them so sunlight is out of the question it will kill them 75-85 degree is best i try to get my cuttings off bottom branches of plant seems to work best i dont think it matters where you do it but weak light ,the dome &misting with clean water is a must

ok thanks for the help the temps in my box was 100+ but thats with 7 23 watt cfls
you mean 75 watt equivlent right

yeah i should of made the equilevant part clear actualy 23 watt single bulb is all it takes i have had temps hit 100 & clones still took

yeah its summer & heat is for sure here for awhile

yo HH the forced sexing is working........
i had to throw away the first male.....
i cried a little inside......its so hard to say goodbye lol

LEDs worked really well for me. anyone else have a good experience with them?

hey d.s.s. its nice when things go as planned, i have a hard time letting things go too even if they are useless. tingpoon when i first started doing weed indoors i was looking at ufo's but funds being what they were i went hps. im gonna go back & research led's they very well could be the wave of the future i try to keep an open mind i've seen some beautiful plants grown with cfl's & t-5's as well & if something works good you gotta give credit where its due. now for daily report on pineapple chunk 42'' tall & had to raise light again today even after topping im running out of room, they have slowed a bit on upward growth & the lemon skunk decided to get back in the race ''rocklock'' holding steady in last place its doing very good by most standards its just running with a fast bunch, ill post pics tomorrow

I agree that the cfl & t-5 grows that i have witnessed are really good so I cant completely count them out either

the babies are in my clone cabinet under cfl's until i complete current grow theyre in 4x4 rockwool blocks when they advance to growroom they should be about14-16'' tall then its all about 600w. hps i usually do 9 plants but this grow im reducing to 7[pineapple chunk,lemon skunk &rocklock] all indica & all fast finishers 5 of them are pineapple chunk & the other 2 were attitude freebies p/c is the intended strain i want 2 run with it seems to have the traits im wanting work is slow these days &''bud'' has been helping me out a wee bit 2 offset my overhead some this is the only hobby ive ever had that paid 4 itself.got outdoor stuff going too but the indoor stuff is my favorite hey don how is your stuff going??? i was happy 2 see a familliar face this is a pic of current grow

My lemon skunk is by no means an indicia dominant, at a little over 2 months old from seed mine is nearly 5ft tall and its only been flowering for two weeks, sativa leaves and all this is indoors in only a 3.5 galon pot. It doesnt have a whole lot of nodes either at 5ft and its not cause it was reaching for light its been only a foot under a 1000W MH or 600W HPS this whole time. If yours is indicia dom that is really rare cause my experience seems to be the norm for lemon skunk from my research.

hey deprave i only have 1 lemon skunk in growroom right now main grow is pineapple chunk all i know is what dna says & youre right even though they advertise indica /sativa it should read sativa/indica . barneys pineapple chunk is supposed to be all indica but strongly resembles the lemon skunk even after topping ive got a solid 45'' of growth im glad to finally hear from someone experienced with the lemon skunk it was an attitude freebie & im so far impressed with it too

the large stem plant in left side front of pic is the lemon skunk,rt. front of pic is rocklock. all others are p/c

It's getting too tall brother whatcha goin do?

looking good.....just have to deal with that height
good luck....about how far are you from harvest?

my light is as tall as it goes took off chain & hangers are on ceiling hooks direct. topped plants again[p/c only] plants showing first little bud hairs showing & hopefully upward growth is slowing got some twine gonna start tie & training them expect to harvest around first week of sept. looking forward to healthy yield & they're starting to get ''that smell'' to them gonna post pics monday ,hey don hows youre grow going??? & d.s.s you might have more male plants to eleminate but if youre lucky you wont !! my p/c clones are moving right along lemon skunk & rocklock doing good as well

fed plants today & snapped pics was gonna wait until mon. but i was feeding anyhow so a pic. or 2 cant hurt & maybe tonight ill start getting some limbs tied down & im hoping upward growth is gonna slow down i would rather have too much growth than too little also snapped pic of my babies for next grow none of my grows have been absolutly trouble free, too much growth is a first though

hopefully you will slow them down and get a little more yield
just noticed the little scarecrow you have by your room.....hilarious
about my plants....it really sucks cause 2 more are males but the last of that strain is a lady
anyway man good pics and nice clones
keep us posted

did another round of topping the p/c this morning its getting late to be topping so im gonna quit topping & see if i cant tie them down from now on p/c is one of those plants that responds well to topping ,next grow ill top early on & veg for 1 week only i cant figure a good plan on first grow next time ill be ready

got 1 more idea & if i have to im gonna move my res. &shorten the legs of the stand my tub sits on that will give me an additional 15'' or so i only use the res when i mix nutes & flood & drain i can do that from outside door as room is higher than patio scarecrow,john wayne & southpark are on inside of growroom door for laughsi use drain to waste so no nutes are stored in the res.

chopped legs off the stand & hopefuly its gonna work out,had a helluva time getting it done ended up using a floor jack & a saws-all got good clearance now

looking nice herk didnt realize you started posting your journal over here i gotta go back and red sum but them ladies are looking really nice glad to see you can clear some extra space for them hopefully they dont strech to much more but things are really starting to shape up from the looks of it keep it going
