    Alright everyone it has been a little over a week since i have had the plant, but the strange thing is that it already has a ton of white preflowers popping up all over the place, Being a clone i figured this might be normal but i wanted to make sure. Also my temp/hum average is about 88/58 is this ok. it just has been way to hot in our house latly.

    yea ur temp/humidity is fine... also u have it under 18/6 lighting right? if u dont... then do that.. and im not sure if that it normal for clones... ive never dealt with them

    Yeah i do have her under 18/6 but i really am curious as to why the pre flowers are there i mean its only 5 inches tall or so. Hopefully someone knows
     
  6. #6 BrazyJay, Aug 29, 2006
    are u sure there are preflowers? could u get a picture of one (more if possible?)

    sorry to get a little off topic but your mention of clone made me remember.
    will clones take root even if you dont use a gel or powder and instead just put it in soil?

    Yeah i am going to take some pictures of it tonight, but i am 100% positive that they are preflowers

    Well i didnt take the cuting of the clone my friend just kinda thre it in my lap, but as far as i know, you must use the cloning gel to root the clone, i dont think you can just put it in soil and let it go. but dont quote me.

    hi irelandbuds...welcome aboard the good ship lollypop :smoking:

    looking forward to seeing some pics....the reason your plant is showing preflowers already is cos shes a clone of a plant thats much older and ready to flower herself....genetically speaking its age is identical to the mother....
    [/science]
    lst is good way to maximise yeild...you gonna take some clones too?...
    and clones will generally root with or without cloning gel if your environments right...it doesnt hurt tho...

    good luck...

    Thanks for the info Pheasant plucker - but i have a few more questions should i put the cycle to 12/12 or wait and still Veg for 4-5 weeks? Also i was thinking about cutting a few clones but i dont have anywhere to keep them untill this grow is done, unless you knwo a cheap little clone box to use, Also i dont want the clones to start growing out of controll and i dont have a grow room to put them in. If you understand what i mean.
     
  12. #12 Pheasantplucker, Aug 29, 2006
    hey no worries ib8...
    how long you veg depends on 2 things...how much space you have in your growroom...and how much your strain stretches....im not familiar with silver haze but it sounds like its gonna be a tall one....
    what are your growroom dimensions?
    hopefully someone whos grown haze might chip in...

    and you need another light/area for cloning/vegging....when i was looking last year i settled on a 125w envirolite as most cost effective...£50 with reflector thrown in from local hydro shop...its cramped but very servicable;)....


    if you are going to lst then dont flower em yet...

    almost forgot that part...:rolleyes:
     
  13. #13 irelandbuds8, Aug 29, 2006
    ok well i am going to veg for at least 2-3 more weeks unless someone tells me otherwise, so by what you said at the end Pheasent i stop all LST after i switch to flowering? if yes do i pull off all strings holding it down or what? thanks again for all the help
     
  14. #14 Pheasantplucker, Aug 29, 2006
    you need to let those lower branches grow on a bit so they bud nice and heavy:smoking:....if you have the space...
    no dont release the plant when you flower....you may need to tie her up for support later tho....

    im not saying any more till i see some pics tho...lol...
     
  15. #15 Reefa Cheefa, Aug 29, 2006
    keep it in veg for a few more weeks so u can do some good lst and get some clones its gonna streach like a mother cuz its a mainlysativa so id die it down for its whole life. oh and if space is a issue for ur clones just do what i do go buy a cardboard box.

    Ok I Want To Thank You For Everyones Help, But My Camera Is Dead I Need To Charge It So I Will Put Pictures On Latert Tonight. But Also All The New Growth Is Very Very Green But The Older Growth Is Really Starting To Turn Yellow. Any Idea? I Was Thinking It Was Just To Hot. Ok Ill Stop Asking Questions Untill I Put Some Pictures Up Here. Again Thanks For The Help
     
  17. #17 irelandbuds8, Aug 30, 2006
    Hey Guys, Im Sorry My Camera Is All Jacked Up I Will Have Pictures Soon I Promise. But My Girl Is Growing Very Slowly And I Was Wondering If Heat Will Do That To A Plant.

    Hey there, nice journal.
    To my knowledge, depending exactly how hot hot is, then yes it will slow down the growth. I keep mine at around the 70-80F mark although 81-88,89F is OK but anything much higher and im pretty sure it slows down the growth. Just my 2cents.

    ok well i have made a couple of decisions. Ive decided to veg out the clone and then im going to cut 6 clones and then grow six instead of just this one. but my question is how big does the mother need to be to clone it and also i only have a HPS light can i put the clones under there untill they have rooted and then i can put them in my DWC bubbler system? This is going to be a team effort GrassCity cause i have no idea what im doing here. hahaha.

    as for the cloning question, you want to wait for the mother to have the number of shoots you want to take clones. id say wait till the shoots are all atleast an inch. and you might not want to root them under the hps, just some fluros or cfls .
