Thanks Mega, yeah it's a great little set up, can't wait to start again after these are done for I've only used it once before.

Happy they have recovered from the nute burn, relief!

Will update pics once a week.

7 days after last pics were taken, looking much healthier now.

The smallest plant has been on a 24hr light cycle to allow it to catch up to the other one which is only on 18/24.

That extra 42hrs of light during a 7 day period is allowing it to kind of catch up, it's doing great for just a CFL above it.

Going to flip the largest plant 8 days from now...or should i flip it now you think?

I wanted to tip/crop it but left it too late.

Going to leave the small one in, was going to give it away but decided to keep it.

I’d tuck that top under and give her another week in the net then re-tuck everything and flip

( Just my opinion, I like to get about 75% of the net covered before I flip)

3 days before i flip them, i lollipopped the larger one and took some clones from it.

Never tried to grow clones by just immersing in soil so will be interesting to see if they grow.

Picking up a water chiller this weekend from a local shop, looking forward to running that.

5 days since last pics and 2 days since flipped.

The smallest plant is growing fast now.

The largest plant is smelling a lot already..arrived home and went damn time to turn the scrubber on.

Got 8 clones since lollipopped so will grow them for the next 8 weeks and then throw 4 of them in and start my first clone grow, hopefully they don't die on me but so far so good.

8 clones going strong...looks like they'll be ok, phew!

brotherfrombelgium · Nov 4, 2023

My clones are still kicking along, i think their around 9 days old now.

Had to take pics just cause.

Plants in tent are going off, seriously rapid growth, it's dark in there so can't take pics till later.

So with these clones...when to feed them tucker you think?

Once roots start to pop out the bottom?

I've tucked the large plant 3 times under the net already now, growing fast ever since running the chiller.
Been tucking and spreading them out a little to get some more light to lower canopy, i wont tuck again but should have defoliated more before the flip.

Anyway growth rate is good and it's great being able to run warmer tent temps and having the water at 18deg, their loving it.

Before and after pics, each plant 39 days from smallest to now, can't wait till end of next month.

My first clones in soil are going great, actually 6 days after they were cut from lollipopping and thrown into their pots.

I had to click properties on the first pic to confirm the date they were thrown in.

I've grown clones in a clone machine once before and they grew roots in 6-7 days, but i never actually grew them, i gave them to a friend for his grow room, so these are the first I'm growing for myself.

Last pic is when they were first thrown in.

So easy doing it this way, little bit of rooting hormone. and placed into soil, they have been indoors and just getting light from the sun outside.

Going to always do clones like this now.
