Im having a hard time cloning the Straw Mix phenos so far for some reason. This little clone, however, is starting to take off and as you know, If you have healthy roots, then you have a healthy plant. This girls roots are starting to explode after just a few days with some hydroton ballz.....it will recover fast from the cloning process...
If you look at a picture of the seedlings from Feb 5th its hard to believe that this little clone could be ready for the flower room in just another couple of weeks!! It has not even been 2 months since the plants birth from seed! Everything seems so fast for this little girl...
April 5th
Here are some pictures from tonight. The plants are all really, really big. Im sure leaving the pump on twice for 12 hour stints didnt help things. Anyway. I did give one plant away, sending it to a better life up in Northern Cali. I also had to full on chop down (well I have not chopped it yet, it too hard, so its sitting in a little room all alone, awaiting its fate) a really big Strawberry plant. I forgot the pheno number. Might be number 2. I have too many plants on the tray so I need the space. Only in Cali would you even consider culling such a big female Strawberry Mix plant! Hey, table space is table space and I need it. Hope I got a clone of that plant going.......
I find its getting hard to take good pictures with all the plants so close together and with the canopy starting to get a little crazy up top. Normally I grow a semi SCROG style, however, from seed the first time I like to just let the plants go to see what happens. Otherwise I like to maintain a strict program of canopy management. Indoor cannabis needs proper control otherwise bad things will happen! Manage your canopies!
I had to crop pheno 7 as it was getting to tall and rangey. Number 7 started off small and grew very slowly, however, now it is a huge plant. The most sativa looking in terms of very thin leaves. When plants are this vigorous I have no problem cropping into flower as the plants have enough energy to not go floppy from the action of bending the stem. This plant looks to be very interesting. flowering a little slower than the other plants!
Pheno 3 is my favorite by far. Tried to get some StarDawg pollen all over it to see what will happen. I believe this plant is a StrawberryBubba pheno, however, we shall see. It will be a very good yielder, and looks to be flowering pretty fast, good early crystals, stiff branches, great structure and size, huge I mean huge fan leaves, however, they are not super wide, just huge, and a great early nose....
Sorry about the boring pictures......
I just sprayed with greencure today at a rate of 1 small scoop per 32 oz of H2O. I will spray this light dose once a week for the next few weeks regardless of whether or not I see PM. The greencure does burn the plants so use caution, hence my one small scoop per 32 oz of water...
Snowblind! The Grow looks great! Ive been looking for nutrients, and Jack's seems to be working wonders for you!
But I do have one question! You say you keep on a strict 5.7ph?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but to get full use of every nutrient don't you want to aim for 6.2-6.3? Because I know Phosphorus lock out completely stops between 6-6.5ph. And calcium and Magnesium don't completely unlock till about 7. I don't mean a complete nutrient lock-out. I'm just suggesting you could get more beneficial nutrients to the plants with a slightly higher PH

Ill try to get some pictures tonight. The pictures are not that exciting yet given my limitations with photography skills and being under the orange glare of the hps light. Im also a little down because Im not sure if the two clones of the "Tarantula" are going to live. The plant itself is so amazing I want to vomit for failing to clone it. I will never be arrogent about cloning again! I knew that plant was special. I should have taken like 20 clones of it to insure its survival. It is growing two colas that look like spears. Huge freaking spears. I cant believe the buds that are forming and the frost.
As I said before the StarDawg male hit everything with pollen, so I can see seeds pods forming on all the Straw Mix plants, including #3.
If the "Tarantula" finishes strong like I think she will I might just try and reveg to get a clone......anyone got any ideas....we are like 4 weeks in and all the branches are thick/indica like...I pray the 2 little cuttings can and will grow. I should know over the next week, I would guess, If they will produce any new growth. They look like crap though....
Hey SnowBlind! It's a long shot, but have you ever heard of Colloidal Silver? You could try to force her to created pollen pods in a selectmen area, and Same Plant pollinated seeds may have more of a chance of becoming Hermie, but its better that losing her all together, also last longer than clones. So instead of worrying about males just worry about Hermie, because they are feminized seeds. And you'll still get all your bud and also get a bud that you can pollinate.Im also a little down because Im not sure if the two clones of the "Tarantula" are going to live.
