Had an argument with my wife, then the bitch went n trashed my plants. What a cunt...
Anyway, ones basically fine but one was totally fucked so in an attempt to salvage something from it it I chopped it into clones. Cut and put straight into soil so let's see how they do, I ran out of Little pots so stuck a load in a glass of water to root aswel.
Gonna keep the main stem of the plant I hacked up and see if it'll carry on aswel

Ah well, at least you have some cuttings, and the one plant left looks ok. Can you put some of the cuttings out for the Summer? Like a gorilla grow.

I was thinking of putting some outside, I'm gonna go out on my bicycle and have a look for a nice secret location. Im gonna put them in a few different spots though, I don't wanna put all my eggs in one basket.Ah well, at least you have some cuttings, and the one plant left looks ok.

The little ones are still standing straight, be nice if they all made it.
Only the shoot I kept on the main stem of the fucked plant has flopped, I'm gonna Chuck it, it's not gonna regenerate itself.

You super cropped kinda wrong buddy.you should have shoots below the point of bending.super cropping with no shoots below is kinda pointless plus dangerous as if u had cropped wrong and the plant had broke were u were bending it you woulda had nothing left but a stump of bare stem.the point of super cropping is to encourage the shoots below the bend to grow up toward the light more.I removed all the leaves growing from the main shoot leaving all the side branches. I removed the bottom set of branches, topped her then supercropped. In a day or two when the branches begin to point upwards I'll remove any branches from underneath that are stuck pointing downwards or any that are struggling to reach round and get themselves upwards.
Ive give her a little watering, now I'll just have to wait and see how she responds,

yeah but it looks like the supercropping he did, did its job. Except it looks like it's been lstd rather than supercropped?!You super cropped kinda wrong buddy.you should have shoots below the point of bending.super cropping with no shoots below is kinda pointless plus dangerous as if u had cropped wrong and the plant had broke were u were bending it you woulda had nothing left but a stump of bare stem.the point of super cropping is to encourage the shoots below the bend to grow up toward the light more.
Another point is to supercropping is to make the plant produce more hormones to strengthen its branches. You can supercrop without bending. I supercrop my main stem starting from bottom top twisting it one way then the other. I do it to the branches too but first the stalk at the very bottom with no growth below.
@London bud you can try it out I attached a link. If you skip ahead to 2:20 or so you can see what I mean.

Totally understand what your saying, but for me, in my opinion the point of supercropping is to expose lower branches which is what I've done, all branches on my plant are pretty even height. There are no set rules on how things are done, I know my plants and my grow area and I manipulate my plants to suit this. The point for me is I'm working with a small space and like @Axel Rose said about it looking lst'd, that's what I'm after. I need to create a full flat canopy to max out my little space. I've got a little exp plant training and I think with the plant in this shape I can flatten her out as she grows and make the most of my set up. With her bent over as she is all the side branches are pretty evenly exposed to the light. As she grows I'll spread her out and keep her flat, the bending for me is really in preparation for lst. I bend every branch down and like @Axel Rose said it really does make all the branches a lot stronger and more resilient. As for snapping the plant while bending the stem lol I never thought of it like you said, I suppose you could lose the entire plant if it went wrong but really, it's not hard to bend a plant without killing itYou super cropped kinda wrong buddy.you should have shoots below the point of bending.super cropping with no shoots below is kinda pointless plus dangerous as if u had cropped wrong and the plant had broke were u were bending it you woulda had nothing left but a stump of bare stem.the point of super cropping is to encourage the shoots below the bend to grow up toward the light more.

Since my woman made a mess of my little set up I decided to rearrange.
I got the cuttings underneath out the way of the fan. Obviously as they grow I will need to change the lay out again.
This is a built in wardrobe in my flat I'm growing in.

Once you get your space worked out you'll be sorted.

I've had some sort of deficiency for a while and have finally come to a conclusion I am pretty certain of.
I have a pottasium deficiency, I know it's not normal in veg but I figure it must be due to this being a flowering clone.
In an attempt to cure the problem I've tried to foliar feed. The only bloom nute I have right now is Dutch pro explode, ive mixed a tiny bit of A and B in the water and misted, will this potentially resolve the problem or was it a stupid idea?

Are the clones rooted yet? I would expect deficiencies and or leaves yellowing and dying while waiting for the clone to root. They'll use the stored nutrition in the leaves to stay alive since there isn't any roots yet to take up what they need. Foliar feeding unrooted clones can delay root development.I've had some sort of deficiency for a while and have finally come to a conclusion I am pretty certain of.

Not sure if the clones have rooted yet, I can see it slightly in the clones aswel but it's not cause for concern, it's more of a problem in my older plant.Are the clones rooted yet?

Do think foliar feeding can be effective for dealing with a potassium deficiency?
Thanks for the info regarding foliar feeding clones, I didn't know that but it makes sense

I’m not 100% sure but I don’t see why it couldn’t be possible. I personally don’t foliar feed or try to resolve a deficiency with that particular method. I’d bump my next feeding if they were looking like they needed more. I feed light as it is and only use recommended dosages for one or two additives.
If I was having the same issue in my grow I’d personally start with it getting locked out vs. not having enough. I’d double check my PH pen and recalibrate it. Then I’d check the PH of the medium. I’d be more diligent checking the PH of what went in and what was coming out.
I say more “diligent” because this run I’ve stopped PH’ing almost all together. I’ve ran what I’m using enough to know how much PH down is needed to get 6.2. I won’t start PH’ing this grow until I start seeing issues or unless I’m just bored and curious. Knock on wood.

I was debating feeding the explode in the next feed instead of my usual veg feed, I didn't want to miss out on a feeding though so thought I'd try foliar feeding to get the potassium to the plant. I thought it might be a bit much with the explode added to my usual feedfeed.
I've got no working ph pen right now so I'm trying to do the best I can, I do suspect my ph could be off. Ill get a new one soon as I can but for now all I can do is give her some tlc, hopefully that'll do it

Today I've managed to pick up a cheap cheap ph tester. It's not electronic or to the exact point but it's got to be better than nothing.
Assuming this device can be trusted my soil ph is tipping over 7.
I've added lemon juice to my tap water to get my feed to a ph of 6, I had to use more lemon than I thought I'd need to lower the ph. If I keep watering with my water at 6 will it slowly bring down my soil aswel?
My cuttings are all looking ok but the bottom leaf is fading on a few of them, is it ok to use the lemon to ph down the water for the clones? I'm worried it might cause a problem...
Pictures come out yellow on my phone

What’s shipping like from the US to the UK? Is it reasonable or ridiculously priced? I’ve never shipped anything across the pond. But I have an extra PH pen I can send you if it’s not too expensive to ship.
Also, the PH drop kits are really cheap and I’d imagine are in your area. Just a thought too.
