Week 4 day 1


I have been saving node 0 and 1 shoots from RP1 on the plant. Today was cut and clone day. Clonex gel and aloe juice in the water, in cups of coco/perlite and water with calmag. Two of the clones are destined for a seed production adventure, hahoooooooooooo. Now each plant has one leaf at node 2 and 3, and nodes 3 are growing to become the main branches of the manifold.

Week 4, day 5

Everyone is humming along. I'm waiting for the 2 center manifold shoots to get a little bigger and I will start trimming the big fan leaves. Torture rings are next.

Nice looking grow, you obviously know what you are doing. It looks like the strawberry cough is not as yellow as it once was. Are you feeding it more nutes than the other plants? Asking for my own education as I struggle on reading my plants and what they need.

 

[Ckbrew]

Idk what SC's deal is. I reduced ph from 5.8 to 5.7 and the big fan leaves greened up, but the new growth is still yellow, now the tips of new growth are starting to green up. I think it is just genetics. It is possible that they green up as they age.(?) Hard to tell what caused the change in color. All are getting the same nute solution on the GWE schedule. Nothing is showing signs of severe deficit, and the rest is growing well. Staying the course.

Week 4, day 5, in the pm

I was tending to them and they said they were crowded. I like to remove lower growth to stimulate top growth so off with node 2 leaves. Clones are doing well. None are dying, 3 of 4 show new growth on top, have not seen roots yet. Will wait for the 4 th to show some activity.

Week 4, day 7
Hard to believe 4 full weeks are completed. RP-1 is catching up after being slowed due to keeping the shoots for cloning. The others are doing well. BC is almost ready for the torture ring. SC is starting to green up the new growth. The clones are doing well also. The fourth clone is starting to show new growth. Stay tuned, next week begins the bondage.

Week 5, day 4


Wake up, hmmmm, something needs to be done here.


Remove fan leafs at node 3, remove fan leaf and shoot at nodes 2b, add torture rings, crush and bend over main manifold stems, add ties to main manifold stems to keep stems in place.
BONDAGE TIME!!!


I have said to people here who are concerned with plant height to top it, bend it over, hit it with a broom. Not trying to be a smart ass, this is what I mean by that. They kind of look like I took a broom to them, they will be thanking me for it later.

Week 5, day 5


They are recovering nicely after the beating I gave them yesterday. Pulled a little harder on the restraints, removed the fan leafs at node 2a. Still waiting on roots to form on the clones. Aloe juice added to clone water.

I'm really impressed with your knowledge.
Very good info, reading, taking notes, looking at pictures!
This will be a perfect guide for my next project! Thanks!

 

[Ckbrew]

I have the GWE community to thank for what knowledge I have gained and added to my own opinion in this hobby, in particular, BU2B 's PPP method which I am following for building the manifold and plant training, and the GWE nutrient schedule guide, and copious amounts of good old trial and error. Thanks to all who have been willing to teach.

Week 5, day 6

Marking time today, nothing much changed except watching new growth happen. I may transplant 2 clones later this afternoon. I need to start thinking about moving out of the spring nursery / drying room and into the main grow area.

 

[TOKABIGONE]

I love to sit and watch my plants grow!

 

[Puglover1]

Toka, I think I'd rather GoPro it then watch it at a faster speed later.

Week 5, day 7


Two clones transplanted to 3 gal bags, that is 13 days cutting from mother to final pot. Still waiting for roots on the other 2 clones. Light moved to 22", another few days there will be more topping to do.

Just watching the grass grow...

 

[Ckbrew]

Week 6, day 1 a new week begins

Some more leaf trimming was done, still waiting for the second topping, light moved to 21"

Week 6, day 1 evening

Bondage time, bend them over and tie them down.

 

[Ckbrew]

Week 6, day 4

One more clone in a big pot, top and trim as needed, watching the grass grow.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Great grow Ckbrew gets easier an easier when you put the work in. Look how you water that's perfect in my view. There's no need to drown small plants. I can't wait to start my outdoor grows. FYI went into a dispensary the other day they have clones in nice ones but now they sell for $25.00 ea. All this crazy money for small clones.

Week 6, day 5 way to early to be up...

Everything is moved out of the spring nursery and into the tent in the barn. They r happy.

5x5 tent, 4x4 flood tray on forward pitch, SF 4000 light, 60%, 21 inches, PVC watering wand.
