So tonight I got the bubble cloner up and running. I cut 2 clones cause I only had enough lights to cover 2 plants. blah. So i took 1 from each plant. They are looking sad and droopy tonight, but hopefully tomorrow they will bounce back. I also switched out the MH conversion bulb in the 400 to a HPS and changed the timer to 12/12.

The cloners has three 8 inch air stones and i used some rooting compound on the ends of the clones and put them with the tips of the stem about an 1/8 of an inch above the waters surface. The cloner water PH is 6.5.

I forgot to buy a humidity dome, but everyone i talked to in the chat room said they don't use one. I go in there every hour or 2 and mist them. They are looking droopy this morning still. The mothers are spreading their branches and looking beastly. The roots are over a foot and half long now.

I used some pencils and bread ties to train the clones a little bit so their upper fan leaves absorb the most light.

I cut 2 more clones last night. Now I have 4. I have 4, 8 inch reflectors with 23w blue spectrum CFLs pointed down at each clone and I have a 42w red spectrum in the middle hanging in between the 4 with no reflector.

My closet humidity has gone up to as high as 55% humidity since I change the bulbs and light schedule.

I took out and trashed 2 clones that were looking droopy and unhealthy and re-cut with a better blade and got some VERY nice promising looking cuts.

Grow Journal Update: Day 43

1 week 6 days into bloom


So my plants are almost 2 feet tall and 2 and half feet wide. The stems at the base are over an inch thick. There is over 14 or 15 nodes visible. The root systems underneath are well over 2 feet long. They have been drinking about half gallon of water a day. They are starting to show their gender and alot of people are telling me they are males. Which after alot of research i think that they are! FML

Seriously this sucks. I have 4 clones from these 2 plants so I now have 6 males. Anyways here are some pics. Tonight I will chop them. I will get another hydro set up going with 2 more grow slots so I can have 4 plants under the 400.

Well here are some pics.

The clones




Plant A and B







Gender? Male i think



The other one has the same looking thing going on but it looks less developed couldn't get a good pic of it on the other plant. Tough break. But It's whatever. Good learning experience. On to Nirvana's Wonder Woman. Thinking bout doing 3 wonder woman and 1 warlock or all 4 wonder woman. Im also wondering if i could even fit 4 plants comfortably in there. Cause these 2 made it look crowded. Share your thoughts!

I got those feminized seeds from Nirvana. I got Wonder woman, La blanca, BCN Diesel, Mataro blue and Warlock.

I think im going to try to bloom 2 wonder woman and the 1 warlock. But I can't decide on how many seeds of the wonder woman I should germinate to get this number as my outcome. Any suggestions?

The 2 plants i been growing under the 400 are both male. So all 4 of my clones in my cloning box are all male too. They will be destroyed tonight or tomorrow.

O I see what you were saying. No the plants that are grown now that are all males were bag seed from my friend from Colorado. He had a ton of really nice sacks of dispensary bud and dropped me some seeds. These plants are from that. The Nirvana seeds Wonder woman and the Warlock seed are from attitude seeds website. I havent germed them yet.

Right now im trying to determine how many wonder woman seeds I should germ to ensure I get a good atleast 2 or 3 nice plants.

ohh gotcha brotha.
:bigjoint:
yah i would germ 3 seeds:
2x wonder women
1x one of other strains you got. and if those dont germ, or come out like nice plants, you could fall back on those other seeds you got. Just dont wanna over do it and waste seeds that sucessfully germd. and have to throw away the unused seeds. you know.

but i have to say your were looking very good. till they got balls. but hey like you said its a learning experience.

Yep. Just going to sum this up as a learning experience. There was some bumps along the way but everything turned out ok. Now I have the experience, knowledge and confidence under my belt so when I approach this next grow I can do it the right way. I have learned so much since I started these plants and now when something goes wrong I can check my list and if something is incorrect I will know where the problem originated from.

Well tonight im going to chop these 2 plants and the 4 clones. Im going to give the hydro systems a good cleaning and prepare them for the next grow. I'm going to germ 3 of my wonder woman seeds from nirvana and my 1 warlock seed from magus genetics. Hopefully they all crack with promising tap roots.
