Hi everyone, A little while ago, I decided to try a grow. This is a history of where I am at so far. Seed was a single Greenhouse "Cheese", using 3 x42 watt Daylight CFL, and one 27 watt 2700K CFL for vegging. For the start, did the good old seed in paper towels, took about 2 weeks for the seed to crack, and after planting, took about 4 days to break the surface.
At this point, I decided to try some training, mainly so that I don't end up with a super tall plant.
After a trip out of town, and a few rounds of visitors at my house, I finally had more time to care for my plant, and decided to take a few cutting as well.
Another week and a half, my plant is growing even better, and my cuttings look healthy, but still hadn't shown roots, I had to dry them out a bit and see if that helped.
Looks a little over watered. Thats just my .02. Other than that tho it's looking good. Cuttings look decent too. Hope a female shows up your way soon. Peace. EDIT: Do you have any plans for another light source. I think when you start flowering and if your clones take to their new lifestyle would you have enough light for all of them?
Drying the cuttings helped, and I planted my first 3 of the 4 clones, the other just showed root and is waiting for it's transplant today. I am still not seeing any signs of sex, after roughly ten weeks since planting. I think I am going to grow the clones for a week or two, and start them onto a flowering cycle.
I actually have a box built for flowering, and was planning on roughly 150 actual watts of CFL, all 2700K for that. So far as watering, I try to let the soil completely dry to 2 inches down before watering, maybe I can give it a bit longer than that?
They look good now. I was talking about the first 5 post. Didn't know you were this far along all ready.
Oh yeah, I was definitely giving too much water at first, figured that out and the plant got much healthier!
Been busy, but I thought I would update this. I have had my first plant flowering for awhile (don't remember exactly), and it is coming along well. I do have a few stems that can't support the weight of their colas however. Rough problem to have I know. I am wondering, should I keep them supported sideways, like they are, or let them hang down, and try to grow back up? Oh and I am watching the trichromes and pistils, still looks like I have a little ways to go, as the trichromes still look very clear all over the plant. Enough talk, on to pictures.
