2nd Grow.. Grow Journal

[RobM]

Well this is my second grow.. first from clone.

I'm doing this more or less to force me to keep track of things.
Currently under 3x 27W CLF (2 warm one cool i believe) they were under a humidity dome or from a ez-cloner (issues have been had :/) currently in a closet with that silver insulation on the walls... its nasty but its working until my plant finishes..

The clones have been taken off a Bubbas Gift at 3 week and 4 weeks of flower. I plan on manifolding them all. I've seen a mate do it and his look amazing. however I'm still a new grower so we will see how I go.

Main tent is a 1m X 1m X 2m tent (4x4x8 ish) 150mm ( 6" ?) grofan 150 out of a window. no carbon filter as yet. that's on the cards. I veg and flower under 400W HPS (considering 600W for flower since i have one) Nutes are nurtafield coco a/b, Go Green (calmag supp) and AU roots. final pots will be 15L fabric pots with coco / perlite (70/30).

I started a few weeks ago with the cloner.. but ill start at the point of them going into coco.

[RobM]

5th November - Transplanted plant 1 from dome to small pot. Coco / perlite mix. pH water at 6. (Photo) 1 more plant is in a juffy puck thing.. no roots as yet ( day 6) but looks healthy so it will get there. its getting a spray of "go green" twice a day

[RobM]

6th November - So i got home to a pump fail on my ezicloner.. I had one that had some roots. Threw it into coco right away with some go green (cal-mag supp) and AU roots it was looking a tad sad but picked up within 12 hours. I'm hoping it recovers.

[RobM]

7th nov - Had a look and they both seem happy. no new growth as yet but I expect that will start to happen over the next few weeks. 3rd clone thats under the dome is still there.. about 26c and 90-95% RH

13th got home Sunday to the clone that i was hoping was recovering should signs of either light burn (3x27w cfl at 250mm?? should be fine hey?) or serious magnesium issues... or when the pump failed .. it was not happy but it perked up. I've been feeding it AU roots and pH 6, well i fed it that once as the coco has not dried out enough as yet. Also Go Green sprayed on. And the EFFING GNATS ARE BACK!! My arch nemesis. i have neem oil on standby but don't want to spray sick clone with it as yet :/ I guess they wont do too much harm. 3rd plant is still in the dome. just letting it do its thing..

[RobM]

14th November: well i can see a root popping out of the jiffy pod thingo. Ill leave it tonight as I need to get some new perlite and coco. I have some from my last grow that i may just use. So at least 2 clones made it. 3rd is well still alive.. just. see how she goes.

When my flowering plant is finished Ill look at transfering into the main tent. Biggest issue I am having is temp vs humidity. We are in late spring now and getting 36c days .. tent temps are 27ish lights off. 30% RH however if i turn the house aircon on (evap aircon) i can drop the temp BUT RH gets up to 60-70% fine i guess for veg?

anyways Ill get on my phone and upload the pics. Should be a interesting trip haha

[oldjarhead100]

hey rob good to see you again , where are you that your in late spring and do you want a visitor for a few months lol

PS visitor grows really good bud

[RobM]

Sorry ive had to add pics here

[oldjarhead100]

those clones are looking really good , I used to transplant into a small pot from my cloner for awhile but I found that I get better results if I plant them right in there forever homes . are those the pots you will be leaving them in if so ,get a 5 gallon plastic or a ten gallon fabric(they hold 5 gallons of dirt) pots and do a side by side . dont get me wrong when I clone for my outside grows they all stay in 1 gallon pots due to space restrictions but if I'm using the clones in my tent then they go right into 5 gallons of dirt, there is less of a chance that they get stressed also I see you have a root booster .I use voodo juice Its expensive but I swear buy it, good luck

[RobM]

Ii was just about to order 20l but ill size up to 35l i put them in 1l pots for like 2 weeks. Its a shame about the yellow one but such is life. Planted the last clone this morning. . Ive managed to transplant early flower with no stress..

I was actually thinking of reveging my flowering plant just to get some clones as my water pump stopped and fried 5. Im staying with old tested and true humidity dome method.

[oldjarhead100]

yup those cloneinators are great for some but I prefer the old method spray them 3 or 4 times a day with clonex solution, and keep the dome on,

that yellow one will bounce right back

ya the voodoo juice is really expensive but I bought it on line the last time I needed some and I got twice as much for the same price as my local grow store

[RobM]

Whats this spray with clonex solution? I dip them obviously then mist with tap water with a little go green added (1ml /l for spray... its a mix of cal, mag, and 2 other nutes)

Yellow one is getting worse. Leaves are white now BUT still stay on when given a gentle tug so still holding out on her. If she comes right ill veg her till i run out of space and throw her outside (almost summer here)

[oldjarhead100]

I take a gallon jug and mix clonex solution in it, then use that to mist the plants 3 or 4 times a day

[RobM]

So two clones are looking good. No changes but nice and healthy... they both got 250ml of water... nutes mixed to 1/4 ish (i need a new syringe.. its worn off) and go green. pH 6.0 for now.

sick cloneis still sick but alive so see what happens. Coco is still too wet to water... maybe in a few more days.

now question.. my big girl is getting close. When she is done is there any reason i should but my clones under hps or just leave them under 75w of cfl until i get some growth? Just thinking of power haha. If there is no advantage i can save a few weeks of power hey 30$ is 30$ was thinking once i get 3 or 4 nodes and tip them i would swap them then... thoughts?

[oldjarhead100]

hey Rob I would leave them under the cfl and save some money , I use t5s but I dont put them under hps until bloom,( I have a 1000w hps) I just saw you veg with your 400 w hps so forget what I said lol and do what you want I dont think it would hurt them. those yellow /white leafs are weird I would take a new picture and send it to Nebula and see what she says then post it so I can see lol thanks

[RobM]

Will do that now ill post the new pic up as well. Remember it did suffer root damage when the ezicloner pump failed. So it could be hit or miss... :/ yeah with 2 plants ill swap over to a 600 for flower.. i think i need to get a cool hood as its going to be a doozy of a summer o think. 36c and its still spring

[RobM]

Looking really bad

[RobM]

So today ive got this with one of my clones. I first throught it was thirsty as it was watering time but it didnt perk back up. Then i need the few black spots. I cant see any bugs that would cause it. A few gnats but just neemed the last few that ive seen. I watered a few days back. Nothing since. Going to get a fee smaller fab pots wednesday to help with air etc... also thinkong of thrpwing them in my tent way down 3 foot from the lights to help dry the soil out faster? (For the 12 hrs they are on then back under cfl)

thoughts please both on possible symptoms and solutions. Last dosage is up a post or 2 ago

sick plant is looking bad. However while there is green on it its still in with a chance haha. I think the roots got burnt too bad when the pump failed :/

healthy plant has new growth

[oldjarhead100]

hey rob try giving them a little root assist I use Voodoo Juice ,with the circumstances I would say the problem is with the roots ,If they dont recover in a couple of weeks well you know sorry
