172 + wattcfl grow...clones from last grow and finish of 4th or 5th micro-grow

Okay peeps this is the deal. Ive been growing indoors for a lil over a year. Im on my 5th harvest. Istarted last run oct. 26, 2011...harvested 1 plant already=20grms. Still have 2 plants left.

I started w/hopes of doing a 1 plant scrog and planted 3 seeds. Hoping for 1 female all 3 turned out female. So i just went ahead and grew all 3. They were all bagseed from same bag i think. Well ended up w/3 different phenos. 2 r very hardy & 1 is so fuckin touchy, if u breath on itll start to droop & yellow i took 2 clones from messed up pheno bcuz it was biggest & had more bud sites. Also got a clone off best looking plant too. Just put 2 clones from messed up pheno in flowering w/ other 2 plants that r finishing up. Ill post some pics 2 nite. Thinking about harvesting another plant tonight so ill have more light on 2 clones. Ill post pics later when lights come back on. Holla

Hard to say about the funky plant but sometime you get a runt, and maynot be worth keeping if these clones fail too. Look forward for some pics.

update: day 89 tot.-day 68 12/12

the 2 plants almost done, r named gayle & baby ruth(l-r) took 2 clones from gayle those r the ones in there flowering w/their mother.

baby ruth was just an experiment to see what 12/12 from seed would look like. and shes looking good. i likes.:) didnt get a clone from her. this is my absolutely last time messin w/this miracle grow soil.:mad0229: i see why people say its shit. but to mg's defense, if you have a strain that can take the heavy nutes then it will thrive in this soil. but if u have a picky strain then youll be pulling your hair out w/mg.

gayle & baby ruth r looking rough going into their last 1-2weeks of flowering, maybe longer. but ive flushed both w/almost triple the volume of pot. so ill just give them h2o from here on out. cant find scope so ill have to get another or just go by pistils.

okay so i have some pics im pretty baked & tired right now but ill try my best to caption the pics:


this is clone from best plant(harvested).

this is all 4 plants i have in flowering closet. the 2 budded plants r (l-r) gayle & baby ruth. the clones r from gayle.

Not sure whats wrong with them if its too much N or what but for sure over fert. All the plants with the eagle claws need a flush. From some of the pics it looks like there is not enough light getting to the plants. If the CFLs are only 23 watts then after a foot you get next to nothing, as far as getting enerey to the plants.
Live and learn I know I do. Keep reading and growing.

Hey bgsixxxniner ,

Yes do change soil before yer next grow . All things considered yer doing pretty damn good for the set up . Remember ti's always a work in progress with many refinements along the way , & yer well on yer way . Good Luck ,,,

yeah b.dirt def. overferted...but not by my doin. its the soil. and ive flushed both plants twice, w/almost 5 gals of water each!!! so i wont be flushing anymore on these 2. prob. gonna harvest next week.

about lights...i have them as close as i can possibly get them, maybe camera angle is makin it look different. but if you can see in pics, there so close that ive actually burned a few leaves on each of them. i have 2 biggest up in the lights so lights can get to lower parts too.

thanks for advice, and yes ill definitely live and learn. & keep growing!!! holla:cool0019:

thanks donny b, yes the soil is shit!!! and has been really pissin me off with this strain. the other smaller plant is doin ok. yeah tryin to maximize yield in this setup, but not gonna do it w/this soil. next grow either different soil or coco. been wanting to try some coco anyway. holla

Okay guys thinkin about harvesting gayle(biggest) 2nite..she is 1 day from 9 weeks flowering, give or take a day or 2. Her pistils r over 80% orange, and i need the room & smoke. So she'll be comin down 2nite. Ill post pics after im done.

 

[bgsixxxniner]

Ok so didnt chop last nite. Will chop both flowering plants 2nite. Its right at 73days 12/12...minus 10 days for 1st signs of sex. So 63 days 12/12=9weeks they're coming down 2nite for sure. Ill post pics of the mutilation...holla

 

[bgsixxxniner]

update: chopped gayle. she was ready enough for me plus i needed the room in closet. she is smelling great. and sticky as hell.

left baby ruth under lights for a few more days...dont think shes quite ready yet. well heres some pics of gayle, b4 harvest & after.

 

[bgsixxxniner]

it def looks like i took it too early, but the sample i took about 5-7 days ago was pretty good & lasted about 1 1/2 -2hrs. so i figured it could only get better if i left it for another week so i did. so i already know ill enjoy the buzz. ill let baby ruth go for another week or so then chop her.

 

[bgsixxxniner]

heres some more pics of gayle all dried up ready for cure. 15grams plus about 5 grams i harvested alil earlier so 20 grams off of her. buds r fluffy but sticky & dank as hell. had in jar overnight & smell is awesome. heres pics:

 

[BrianDirt]

Looks dank to me and I'd twist some up for sure! Good show good grow.

 

[bgsixxxniner]

ok so couldnt wait any longer...chopped baby ruth..she was over 10 weeks flowering..and she looked ready. smells good and is frosty so heres some pics of clones in closet now probably about 2weeks 12/12, and harvest pics of baby ruth, enjoy.

 

[bgsixxxniner]

the clones r growing slow, :devious:its been 11 days since last pics and they look about the same to me. they r small as hell. smallest ive grown thus far. but they were basically 12/12 from rooted clone. always wanted to try so heres results. small,scrawny nugs.:mad: also this wasnt the best strain either sensitive as hell.:confused:

my other clone from the better strain(sheba) is doing great.:D i think shes graduated to mother status now, so she gets a name... lets call her tina:hello:. i should be able to get a few clones off her in a week or so. ill put those clones in the flower box, after fric & frac r done fuckin around in there, and veg them for about 2-3weeks. heres some pics.
