Obi-Wan’s Aurora Indica Clone Grow

[Obi-Wan]

I received these rooted but neglected AI clones last week. I immediately put them in my cloner where I run seedling strength nutrients. 7 days later with much greener leaves and longer roots I have placed them in my 2’x4’ tent where they will begin their new journey.

Happy to follow along on another adventure!

[Tika]

I'm in for the ride too😊

[Canuck147]

Good job! Keep us posted - the neglected always do better for their new foster parents.
Don't ask me what that means - just smoked some 'God Bud' - sweet stuff.

Veg Day 29- AI #1 (right side)is a beast and shows no signs of slowing down. AI #2 ( left side)has been a slow grower from the start.

I will be going to a 12/12 light schedule in 7 days.

[Obi-Wan]

Day 36- I switched to 12/12 on Wednesday of last week/Day 31 overall. The girls are coming along nicely, filling out the space admirably for such a heavy indica strain.

PPM/EC=950/1.9 respectively
pH=5.9

Day 42 overall
Day 13 of 12/12

Pistils are starting to show, the tallest colas are 20” so they’ve stretched 10” in 13 days. I wish I had lowered my lights a bit at the flip, I may have been able to tighten up the node spacing if I had, live and learn. I don’t expect that they will stretch too much more.

PPM/EC=1000/2.0
pH=5.8

[Campesino]

I don't know, I bet they'll keep stretching a bit more.
Looking good

[Tika]

Yea. I bet they stretch more too....Nice work🤗

[Obi-Wan]

Day 49 overall
Day 20 of 12/12

These ladies are progressing nicely and proving my previous assumption about stretch completely wrong. They’ve grown another 5” this week. I’ve got another 4” of room on my ratchet ropes and I can squeeze another 2” if I remove the ratchet ropes, so I’m hoping they have a max of 6” left in them. If they do go another 6” they will have slightly more than tripled in size, not exactly what I was expecting out of such a heavy indica strain.

PPM/EC=1000/2.0
pH=5.8

[Tika]

Told ya so 😊🤓🤗

[Canuck147]

Nice job - plants look great!

[PRIMO]

Yo Obi, you might want to study up on supercropping, it's real easy and also productive.

[Obi-Wan]

Day 56 overall
Day 27 of 12/12

The girls are trucking right along, no issues to speak of and budlets everywhere.

PPM/EC=900/1.8
pH=5.9

[Canuck147]

Great!! You are going to have a forest of buds.

[Obi-Wan]

Day 63 overall
Day 34 of 12/12

The girls are developing long & full colas. I’m cautiously optimistic that this grow will bring me close to the maximum reasonable yield for the low wattage LED’s I’m using(270 actual). I’m entering the final 3rd of this grow with about 30 days left. The only thing left for them to do is get thick and ripe.

PPM/EC= 900/1.8
pH=5.8

[Campesino]

Nice long colas!

What are you thinking? g/watt?

[Obi-Wan]

I’ve been averaging around .75 gpw with these lights. I’m cautiously optimistic that I can get 1 gpw this round.

[Campesino]

I am in pretty much the same boat.
Got 0.74 last grow and seeing if I can get 1 on the current... Growing skeptical that I'll get all the way there, but jury is still out.

[Obi-Wan]

Day 70 overall
Day 41 of 12/12

The girls continue to develop on schedule and are starting to fill in. On another note, I’ve been thinking about switching nutrient brands for awhile and after doing a bit of research I settled on Dyna-Gro. I debated waiting to make the switch until after my current grows were finished but I decided to go ahead a pull the trigger on this grow.

PPM/EC=700/1.4
pH=5.8

[Tika]

Interested in your next...I've been looking at Dyna foliar spray....

[Obi-Wan]

Tika I don't foliar feed so I haven't looked into their foliar spray...I may change my mind on this in the future but I haven't really seen a need to at this point. The fact that you may be considering it makes me wonder whether or not I should.....I respect you as a grower immensely, and your experience as a grower/contributor here is unparalleled. I say this knowing that this community has; and has had, a number of skilled growers come and go, but you have remained throughout, consistently growing with incredible detail and documentation. I have followed you from a distance from the very beginning of my journey into growing cannabis, chiming in occasionally to appreciate a good thing when I see it. It was your journey with Canna that inspired me to try something new. Thank you for doing what you do everyday and sharing it with the rest of us!!!


A few quick hits from my very limited experience with Dyna....

I am running Dyna-Grow, Dyna Bloom, Protekt, and Mag-Pro. The reason for the switch was my frustration that the flora trio provides most of it's nitrogen in Micro and not Gro.....If they switched the nitrogen that they allocate for each, I may never have strayed from them. Dyna's n-p-k ratios are what first caught my eye as they make it easier for me to dial back the nitrogen while still providing Micro nutrients.

Dyna-Gro nutrients have been in the reservoir for 7 days and I have not yet needed to adjust pH, rock solid at 5.8 where I set them on day 1, I had read about this in my research but I was skeptical. 7 days is a small sample size, so the jury is still out, but good preliminary results.

Protekt acts as an alkaline in the nutrient solution and I added 5mls/gal @ 1.4 EC to give me that 5.8 pH, no pH up or down in the 7 days.

Day 77 overall
Day 48 of 12/12

The colas are starting to put on weight so I had to break out the plant yo-yo’s for support. I’m really digging these Dyna-Gro nutrients, I haven’t needed to adjust pH in 2 weeks.

EC/PPM=1.4/700
pH=5.8

[Tika]

OMG the LEGS on those girls!!!! I mean really!!!. Reservoir VS Coco may be part of the nitrogen variation???
hey-I bought the BlueLab EC pen, will not be using it-would u like to have it (FREE)?
Aurora Indica fem seeds/ plants....a real pleaser I must say.
hope you will stay close

[wheatgrass]

Awesome you have not had to adjust ph in 14 days. I guess the plants are loving it as well?
