My Disappointing, even PATHETIC Grow!

[Kampbe1l]

just changed the reservoir for the single bucket DWC - boosted the nutrients solution to 195 PPM/TDS, adjusted to 5.8 pH. temperature 18c.

i measured the discarded reservoir at 180 PPM/TDS and 5.6 pH - whatever that results suggest IDK.

i leave this DWC and her plant alone, amongst the clones, underneath the T5 fluorescent. she has kinda topped herself, i can see multiple top offshoots, this plant has tendency to go bushy.

i noticed a little blemish on one set of leaves, keep an eye on it.

i should pay more attention to this DWC setup.

i've been slowly boosting the TDS in small increments, every reservoir change. and then leaving the DWC alone.

is that your baby?

our baby who guards the home.

Nice kitty but appears all tired from guarding.

Very tight internodal set up and bushing too....

i re-potted 4 clones into 1-gallon pots, today. gave the other half, 3 of her ceramic pots back, as she has been complaining that i had earlier commandeered it.

they might be moving out of the main grow area. temporarily placed along bedroom window, until i can think of a better spot. they're gonna be placed to catch some leakage from the T5 setup, overnight.

it's the last cold burst of winter, these young clones are protected from late winter outside.

right, i forgot about how cuttings from older plants, don't have the symmetrical growth of the nodes!

i have bitten off more than i can chew, by taking 30+ clones. have to think about how and where all these 30 clones fits, into my grand designs.

these clones are made for walkin and thats just what they'll do....

 

[Kampbe1l]

happy with this plant (codenamed G3).

smallest of the family, in smallest pot.

still, happy how she turned out.

she gives me inspiration for future grows.

i can't make much out with the magnifying glass and my straining eyesight. i can almost see the trichomes glistering, but it could be a figment.

another 2 weeks, i reckon, maybe....

 

[Kampbe1l]

first batch of the clones, into their 1-gallon fabric pots.

when repotting these clones, i noticed that their nodes were asymmetrical - agh, i did take these clones off mature plants. scratched my head as to my plans of manifolding. mainlining clones?

I placed these plants along the bedroom windows, in late afternoon sun - then placed back along side the T5 fluorescent setup, absorbing its leakage.

Manifold yes it will keep you out of trouble

Don't forget the Epsom Salts -- every 3 weeks 1 tsp in 3 gallons -- use only that at the time of watering. My plants are looking So much better....since giving them the Epsom Salts....How about Hydroton balls as a top layer for all the plants....it is excellent for them (ancient astronaut theorists say) and they look cool.

 

[Kampbe1l]

my understanding is manifolding is done on plants grown from seed or clones taken from younger motherplants, as their growth/nodes are symmetrical. mainlining is done on plants with asymmetrical nodes, like clones from older motherplants.

so, the gap between the set of leaves is large on these asymmetrical growing clones, where I can't manifold - rather mainline. being technical here, with my crude understanding of the subject mattters.

so, i think I am LST'ing now, rather than mainlining - just gotta do some attempts on a couple of these clones, to get a better jist, to get the picture better.

my plans are constantly changing, as to what to do with the next batch to go into the tent.

keen to harvest the current crop in the tent, as I said before, not so much in anticipation of the yield/quality of this current harvest. keen to get the next batch in the tent going, and going into their flowering phase asap.

now, i'm thinking of whacking into the tent the larger 2 recovering plants - hit them with a short vegetative phase before flipping into 12/12 on/off light cycle. while these 2 plants are taken to their harvest, i can grow the small garden into larger plants for the subsequent batch into the tent.

my original plan was the other way around. to whack in as many of these smaller plants into the tent, hit them with vegetative phase before flipping, and growing out the larger recovering plants for upcoming outdoor season.

then tomorrow, both these plans are out that window....

it's all speculation, rather than plans - as I am waiting for the current crop to harvest in the tent, which might be another 2 weeks. then assess what plants are to go into the tent, next.

no, i haven't forgotten. next venture out.

and i have, in the past, experimented with clayballs on top layer, and i do have a large bag of clayballs in the garage...get my arse around to it!

 

[Kampbe1l]

i have exercised patience over my entire growing operations - but THIS TAKES THE CAKE, it's an itch you just can't scratch, can't cheat or beat mother time. this is the hardest bit to wait....

waiting for these buds to harvest, maybe 2 weeks out, is KILLING me.

There is a hotel on the #Road to Good Intentions called Dick's 1\2 Way Inn. Don't get yourself caught in their ♧♧♧♧

 

[Kampbe1l]

next grocery shop....and my other half will distract me again, when i go down the aisle where the personal care area is, that's why i was lost last time.

it's on the grocery list, on the fridge.

What is the reason for the Epsom Salts?

Yes but REM remember every moment

What is the reason for the Epsom Salts?

Provides magnesium and potassium and trace elements beneficial to our weed. Use 1 tsp per gallon every 3 weeks. It will not, however restore human memory.

nursing these plants back towards their full health...

and this MK9 is starting to respond with fresh new green growth.

survived the winter, after a 'failure' just as she was flipped.

she was once in real bad shape.

now, i'm thinking of placing her into the tent, for a short burst of vegetative phase, before flipping....

but it's a game of patience, waiting for the current crop in the tent to harvest....

is that to be applied throughout the entire lifespan of the plants?

 

[BCBuddy]

I'm confused. Are you talking about CalMag or epsom salts? Isn't epsom salts just MgSO4. I googled it and don't see any mention of potassium.
