[Grow Journal] Closet grow 1st attempt indoors

[Tdh101jr]

Well 100% know the sex of my plants now half were male so half are gone. Ive took cuttings from the lower side branches and idk what i did wrong but only like 5 out of 9 are looking ok 3 died faster possably air embolism. But switched to the 2 smallest females back to veg to get bigger and kept the biggest female in flower also im tryibg to get a purpetual harvest going so guess starting out small have to start somewhere but would like 4 flowering plants at a time every 2 months and i guess 4 in veg or more and pick out the best 4 idk, once i have enough plants i want to do a clone sog! Hopefully soon!

Thanks kingkush alot of people have concearns about turning the females hermie from doing so but with as few females as i had it seemed to be my best option to try and keep more females in rotation while germinating some more seeds. I believe im in a decent spot now to keep a 2month harvest. 6 of the 9 clones are still living noticed roots coming out 3 of the 6 today and everything is going just fine just need another light but will make due with what have for now but thanks for the post and follow the threat and or youtube channal man preciate it!

It's not possible to "make em hermie" from monster cropping or any other cloning techniques.
That is a seed thing. It's when you find seeds off a hermie and then you grow those seeds. Those seeds could have a greater tendency to hermaphrodite.
You are doing fine and if you want my 2¢ I think you know more than all your buddies combined. Cheers!

Thanks man and thats what i ment the 2 that im reveging not so worried about the clones but well see! I just posted some recent pictures can take a look of the 2 revegging and the stranf rounded growth also added some pics of the clones that are left. But thanks for the compliments as well always seem to 2nd guess myself haha.

Ok so i have to clear up some memory on my phone before can post the vlogs but i do have the footage needed to edit but anywho heres some pictures in the mean time. I was correct it was 50/50 3 males 3 females pistils are now showing and ive started 8 seeds and took 6 cuttings for clones almost been a week now so we will see soon if get roots to form! So from the beggining of this grow the 3 plants that are female im flowering 1 now and letting the other 2 reveg for a month or so till get bigger then flower while the now seedlings are vegging and sexings the seeds but anywho heres the pics enjoy!

3 weeks 1day into flower but have a few questions. Should i prune the under brush of those small side branches that wont make it to the canopy to fucus more on the buds getting better light and also read this should be the end of my traing woth the plant too such as keep tieing the branches down just let it grow upwards from here on out?

[KingKush]

She is looking healthy and full of vigor. Nice work.
The leaves should be left alone I think the plant uses leaves as horsepower for the engine so to speak.

Training is complete, when I get clumps of pistils Like that the stretching is almost done so I would keep it spread apart but it won't take much, you are at that stage of "gonna get bud soon just be patient and leave her be"
In 6 weeks she could be a monster with a decent yield if you try to encourage her size.

Here some pictures of the other 2 females in reveg to get a bit bigger for flower and all 3 my females outside today with the 8 new seedlings

[Tdh101jr]

5 clones left out of the 9. 3 died 1st day, dug 1 up today to find out no roots had formed atall so im kinda curious / worried about the 3 remaining i havent seen any roots starting yet. The 2 with roots came from plant thats in flower and other 3 from bigger plant thats in reveg.

[KingKush]

Roots hate light. Clear cups are not good for rooting unless you cover them up.

[Tdh101jr]

Gotcha i just use those to be noisey without digging them up lol im about to transplant them tomorrow 2 so they can start to grow and have more room for roots.

[Tdh101jr]

Current grow closet with all the plants so suprised i got it to be like this from just a t5 and few seeds. Has a nursury for seedlings and clones led for veg and flowering and a desk with enough room to flower 1 plant at a time all in same spot.

[Tdh101jr]

Man i really need some input on if thats how the plants supposed to look everyone else i see in glower the plants atleast 2' tall mines prob 6inch to 1'. Im just curious as to if thats how your supposed to train the plant keep it flat and low like that?

[9fingerleafs]

i think thats too low, you seem to have enough space, you could have 10 inches inbetween the pot and the canopy and a full feet of canopy height

[9fingerleafs]

ive got a 2x4 feet space with 600 wats of CFL and this is how i fill it before flowering

[Tdh101jr]

See your grow looks nice and i have a little more space then you 2x5 and 5_6ft vertical space i mean i let them veg for 2months before even flipping but i trained and tired down till just last week say they would grow an inch id your it down and so forth. If i cut the strings holding it down its about a foot or so but thought it was supposed to get better light flat like that no?

[9fingerleafs]

Yes you are right and you did excelent job flattening but once it’s flat try letting it grow a bit more before flowering so you get bigger taller colas. It is also a strain dependent thing. Meaning some will stay really low and some will grow with no mercy. Only practice will get you to the best way to train for your space

[Tdh101jr]

So i removed all the strings and needle bars holding my flowering plant down but she still remains a fullfigured shorty only 6inches tall also did a light defoliation seeing as today marks week 5 day 1. Give a little molasses this week and next and start flush the end of next week. Enjoy the under shot.

[Tdh101jr]

The full grow at current date, 1 month left for flower on the 1 plant starting to stink super bad now too in a goodway lol. Red coffee container is seedlings 3weeks old pringles cans are clones.

[Tdh101jr]

Just checked my runoff for soil ph and its at 5! Whats going on i put h2o in at 6.5 came out at 5 so do i flush out the soil with 7ph till it raises?

[Tdh101jr]

Buds getting more dense trichomes forming more and nice few cola pictures.
