Round Two: Clone And Seeds ;)

[mrskush]

After a disappointing but informative first grow (unknown bagseed male) I'm ready to stack my odds. I bought a Purple Kush cutting and for shits and giggles have popped two Blue Cookies seeds I found in dispensary eighth. Got a closet CFL (six cool light 5000k under clamp reflectors) soil (happy frog) set up while awaiting a T5 I ordered. Will probably keep my clamp on cfls or at least some if needed going with T5 but anyway...the plan is to re-pot into 5 gallons in few weeks with ff ocean forrest, use trio, and L.S.T. Clone Im thinking of letting go a month at least in veg. Seeds longer...started gentle bending on clone. So excited I probably rambled on and still forgot something :) smoked first haha

Hey cool lil setup . Hope you are having fun with the hobby. . Lots of fun. Dispensary seed could be a female too

 

[mrskush]

Oh man a female from that eighth would be rad! It has been so much fun watching them grow and reading everything about these crazy plants. Great hobby!!

in pic number 2 whys that not open up did the seed sheel leave that skin on out side

 

[mrskush]

I'm thinkin and hoping it's the first leaves (not true leaves but baby, baby set) and it open up soon but honestly im guessing :)

 

[tinderthumbs]

id think it be open all ready should check and make sure there is not a lil something on there stopping it from opening I have it happens to me all the time

 

[mrskush]

Ok thanks!

 

[mrskush]

Almost been a week and finally both seeds babies have true leaves! Also, PK clone putting on new growth. LST is going slow and steady. Purplish stems I've read are either ok or not. Anyone have input? I mean this is a PURPLE kush clone so I've been thinking it's ok....just few newer fan leaf stems.

Clones can come with little critters sometimes so I would spray her down but u should have a nice female ready to give u some flowers. Just watch it for nanners all through flower.

I'd watch out for seeds that u find in a bag as they can be prone to hermie.

Good luck. I'll be watching

 

[mrskush]

Thanks! I've read so much that now I'm swimming with too much info...what have you used to spray them? Just water or ?? I'm sure it's safest to ask then just Google :)

 

[Ronnie V]

lol. I won't be mean.

There's so many choices of spray out there but my two favorite are spinosad (Monterrey bug spray) and green cleaner bug spray. Both organic, mild and cheap. But don't go spending money on stuff you don't need. Give them a good check.

 

[tinderthumbs]

stuff is fire

 

[mrskush]

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll keep an eye out. Don't see any creepy critters around so far!

 

[Burned Haze]

Good luck and always keep the preventive eye and smart mind-set ! Check out ogbiowar : best preventive and always using foliar I use and recommend :)

plan is to re-pot into 5 gallons in few weeks with ff ocean forrest

Should have a medium size in there. Putting a small plant into a big pot- takes up space (wasting light) and more importantly, proper watering can be problematic.

Also- I would strip that peat pot off rather than plant it.

Have fun!

 

[mrskush]

Thanks for the tips! I did re-pot everybody because around Friday I noticed the clone looking droopy near end of light hours...thought all basic things - overwatered? Overheated? Didn't start nutrients yet. Then I picked up pot and noticed roots coming out from bottom. Same with babies but just barely with them. Used remainder or Happy Frog soil for babies and about a half pot's worth for clone. Mixed some Ocean Forrest in for clone. Added cal-mag. Watered with just plain water. I did end up putting clone in a 3 gallon, not five. Might still be a bit big but I don't think I'll see roots poking out anytime soon. Everyone seems to like new homes. I peeled off those peat pots from babies. That's why I used them, so I could just tear them away. Worked nicely :) Everyone seems happy thus far!

 

[mrskush]

Nothing to report but growth ;)

 

[Minitiger]

It may not be a big deal that the plants were droopy before lights off. I forget what it's called, but plants "know" when it's about to get dark and their leaves will kind of fold down, for lack of a better term, just before the sun sets, lights turn off etc. It's pretty cool, actually. Or I think it is, anyway. But I'm a nerd like that haha.

 

[mrskush]

I've totally been nerding out this whole time so I get it. These are cool plants :) i just starting finding some preflowers on the clone and I'm sooooo happy to see those white hairs after the last time when I got balls haha

 

[mrskush]

Here's a question for somebody...I planted clone in a three gallon on Oct. 9th. I am just starting to see a couple roots poking out of bottom drain holes. That was fast. If I replant to five gallon next will that be enough for rest of veg and flower? I mean, these roots grow quick!! Would it end up being ok if this happens again eventually (roots poking out) ? Not many and not super long...just worrying haha
