( im open to ideas to make it better if you see a major problem. the one i see is with using zip ties to hold it up using the ratchets.l. not because they wont hold.. but because you lose 2" of space. thank you for looking )

IMG 2288 Copy



so i made a promise to not worry about clones, and just focus on seeds for now.. however, if i get a clone so be it.

i know #1,#2,#7 are female.

the clone kit came with these root plugs.. now sure how im suppose to use them. do i still need a to use a product like drip in grow or is it already in the little plugs and just add water?

do i mist the clone chamber like i would a zip lock baggy ? the T5 will keep it plenty warm.


thank you.

lights turn down to slow growth.
( my luck they will grow faster. hha. looks more sun like.. less reds )

even if i have to trash the older plants i have back ups on deck ready to transplant and flip.

i could save her if i transplanted i think.. but fuck it.. live and learn.

one ugly 93 Afghani baby. hha.. ill be surprise if it grows to be anything but what we see now... since how it came up roots first but its doing more than any other old seed up to this point.. so im rooting for her.

Those plugs are rapid rooters. Just dip your cuts on a rooting hormone like clonex and stick the cut end in the hole. I keep a heat pad under the clones and mist the dome. Without roots the cuts need to foliar feed, that's why you need humidity in the dome. Once they root you can slowly remove the dome over time to harden them off.

ready to flip above and below. laughs. ( the dimmer is turn way down. to give me some time.. but the fuckers refuse to stop growing. laughs )

day 4


IMG 2307 Copy


day 1

the 93 is in the blue cup, the other 2 in red cups are Afghani from:

IMG 2308 Copy


now the one that popped in the red #2 cup had the shortest tap root.. i figured the one i put in the cup label #1 would be the one to break dirt first since i has a nice healthy tap root. seeds man, all bets are off. laughs. they do whatever the fuck they want too.


solo cup is not doing so well.. old yellow sugar leafs are burning up like its the fucking 4th of July.

so i tried to water using some epson salt.. instead of a foliar. we see if that does nay good.. at this point its so fucking stressed its toast unless i transplant but iv already decided that is not happening.
IMG 2294 Copy

so far only spots on old sugar leafs and one spot on new growth.

@GrowGod hey man be sure to tag my dumb ass when you have your baby please.. in case i miss it. have a chirpy day.

ok so what causes red stems?
IMG 2312 Copy

or could it be genetics the plant is healthy besides fucked up leafs from my dumb ass.
so i have top ignore all the sighs you would normally look for.. i only have my leafs looking to the sky for light, and odor, and also good growth.


if it is a deficiency its because they need transplanted i will do that this weekend.

thank you.. its probably for the best it sorta happen this way. im forced to work with the basics.. so building a good foundation to grow oon..

i hope you are having a delightful evening/day..

well i may well post a new picture of the afganis hah.

hey @SimplyCmplex just maybe man.. this one will grow.. i saved this 93 from rotting.. and it grew up with out most its cotyledons in tact.. they were rotting when i saw the tail sticking out facing the light. before i flipped it upside down and covered it with dirt.. i have one more seed to try if this one fails. laughs.. we will get one of these old bitches to do something yet.. or give them hell trying yeah. :D

the blue solo cup is the 93 Afghani.. the two in red cups are Afghani from spliff seeds.
IMG 2319 Copy


i guess the cotyledons just never open up not rooted away. but hey no purple stems on the seedlings. hah.. imagine that i did not over water them this time around. laughs.. man iv come a long way since 3 months ago.. hah

this one popped dirt yesterday.



IMG 2320 Copy

this one is popping ground today.. busted its seed hull off. the two white cups are the spliff Afghani seeds.

i was able to get my table cut down. i had to prove my point which i knew i would. so i took a scrap piece of wood cut it in half scarf jointed it, and doweled it.. glued up.. and told them try to break it at the glue joint. once they could not, they approved of cutting my own fucking table. hah.
View attachment 698486
hah out of control.. few days ago.
anyhow, i can reach my plants now.

my T5 arrived so i put it in my 2x2 tent.
View attachment 698487
View attachment 698489



i popped a 93 Afghani and put it in the 2x2. the fucking thing came up backwards with the tap root reaching for the sky. so i had to flip it around, remove the slimy seed hull that was stuck to the cotyledons but they got wasted so its basically taproot,first set of leafs.. no light so the damn thing was starting to rot,. hah. anyhow, its reaching for the sky now.. we see if it goes anywhere or another dud.

its alive and i think its gonna grow. its taller than yesterday. hah. not by much.. but its the first old seed iv had do anything besides tease me. so im staying positive.

1993 Afghani

3 months ago i could not of saved that seed or at least try,. i was not mentally capable or had the needed motor skills. pills really do fuck you up it would seem.. im sure not the same person i was.. but damn man.. i have so many brain cells i need to wake up.. laughs.

so im posting because my bother in-law is coming over to help me water tomorrow.. im gonna ask him to help me setup the tent or at least get some of it up.. and finish it up in a week when my help arrives. the problem is iv never set a tent up yet, and he is your typical academic, my sister is the man in the house. hah. or they be paying to have every thing fixed.. i raised her right. be smart and and capable to use your hands.
anyhow, so im posting because i maybe flowering ( next weekend) other wise i would not be.. i can be damn stubborn on shit..

for example i got accused of being a pill popper at a local grocery store, so had to go through bunch of paper work cause a pharmacist judged me. anyhow i will never shop there again. my family look at me like im nuts but whatever.

could you post a picture of your tents please.
( here is my tent as of now, you can even draw using paint. my paint skills are on par with the best, laughs :D stick figures for eva )

lets hope so.. iv been vegging these things for months. hah. i dunno man.. something has to go right for me.. so lets hope they flower with out issue.

hope you are doing well.


well looks like my red stems are from cooler weather ( its only on the top half of the petiole. been in the 70s this week.. which is fucking cold for us desert rats.. still gonna transplant them before any deficiencies pop up. hah.

the solo cup is on its death bed. i do not think ill be able to save it with what i have on hand.. basic fert, and some epson salt.. it needs potassium bad. hah.
but hey iv learn a lot about plants from it.. especially feeding the fucker is quite a bitch to feed. hah.

man lets both have a fucking dynamite night.

The red stems can be phosphorous and can be from cold roots but usually under 60 degrees at least.

It also could be the same problem as the potassium. To much calcium and magnesium will lock out the PK. They can only take so much stuff before their roots are clogged by these kinds of salts and metals.

Hope this helps. When in doubt. Water only some. Then less nutes. Then hurry up and wait....

Lol.

i think i know what caused it. that is the only plant i used water right from my facet. and its been cool here so the water i bet was in the 60s.. ist the only plant with the half ( the top half the petiole is red, the bottom is normal.. )
or maybe its just been in that drift to long . laughs )

just a guess, as its growing fine.. id think a lock out of anything would slow down growth?

either way what you say is something to keep in mind for sure.. now im going to flip.. rattling my mind trying to think what all i did different this watering.

ill transplant soon.. and they all be happy again. i need to get some more soil.. as the older plants need to be transplanted to 5 gallons before bed.


not sure if it really matters but these plants were breed for the desert.. so maybe they are more temperamental to colder temps.. even if it would not seem that cold to other environments.
chris.


ok, now i can think about something else.. ill come back to lock outs tomorrow for my reading.
