as long as you get roots and the new growth looks good then all is well. the fan leaves are just casualties. no worries.

This BB genetic said it was a little more demanding to clone so I was iffy in the beginning doing it, but 2 weeks later and they finally root. Only the next few days will tell how things go. I was hoping to at least get a few clones rooted the first time trying and I'm already happy with the outcome. Puts a smile on my face to wake up and see roots coming out the peat pellet

All is well though. I'm excited for these next few weeks on the ladies I have in flower now. I think one of them might be a 10 week grower as it's more sativa looking then the other one. Again, only time will tell!

Decided to throw up a few more pictures while I watered them. Also, I found some spider mites AGAIN underneath the fan leaves, so I sprayed them down with some more Organicide. I didn't even check to see if it was alright to spray them during flowering, but not much I could really do considering I had nothing else. Sooooooo, now I'm just hoping for the best. I am going to let them try and dry out a bit before placing them back under the lights. I don't want them to spot my plants with the water droplets!

Anyways, onto the pics.....

Pic 1: The top of the indica dominant BB. You can see the bud phase beginning

Pic 2: The leaning toward sativa dominant BB. Can't really see much yet, but it will pick up in a few days!

Pic 3: Both BB side by side! Left is sativa dominant and right is indica dominant!

Enjoy!

hey italiano, get some equate brand (walmart) bedding spray. it's in the pharmacy section. it's used for lice. it's also only ~$4.

the main ingredient is permethrin. i use this on my snakes' tanks when they happen to get mites. when you have your plants in the tub for watering spray your area down. it dissepates quickly. (when it's dry/dissepated you have no worries. i can put the snakes back in their tanks as soon as it's gone.) as soon as it's dry you can put the ladies back. do this about once every 3-5 days for a couple of weeks. this should help out.

check it out here.

the ladies look awesome by the way! can't wait to see those buds.

i'm no expert but agree with you shake, as long as the new growth is good all is well, the yellowing could have been the clones feeding of the leaves. keep up the good work italiano

Funny! I got that stuff under my sink! Used it for the kid when he had lice. So, I should basically "disinfect" the area with the stuff? Anything I should watch out for with this stuff?

Thanks weedmaster! I gave them a bit more water this morning and they are starting to perk up and actually look really nice. I have them under a 20W (1200 lumen) 2700K CFL at the moment. I'm hoping that will give the plants a little stretch since they were so small when I took the cuttings. All is looking well otherwise

Appreciate all the feedback you two!

just don't breathe the spray in. it's almost like a spray powder. other than that, no sir.

Just took some macro shots!

First 2 are of the bud growth....First one is booming, the second is lagging

Probably be a 10 weeker!

Last 2 are some top shot bud growth.

hey buddy, looking good over here. I really like this site as a lot of people are doing the cfl grow. Your ladies are looking really nice. Im curious about a question that no ones been able to answer, what is a SOG. Ill be keeping an eye on your log as we are close in timing. Sorry to hear you got mites. I herd that the best way to avoide mites is to not take clones from another persons grow, start from seed. I cleaned my room top to bottom to make sure there was no pre exhisting mold/bugs/dirt and crap. I have had a few really little fly like bugs but thats it. Keep it up with the pic updates.

SOG means Sea of Green....Basically in a nutshell, it is packing as many plants as you can in a space. SOG works really well with clones as you can pack clones really tight next to each other! SOG grows are usually an even canopy with all buds growing at the same height. It works well with CFL especially since CFLs' don't have a deep light penetration.

LOL, growing is a waiting game can't wait for someone to come up with a autoflowering strain that takes less than 4 weeks, i'm sure there will be one soon

Just a couple more pictures! Enjoy

Pic 1: The main cola on one of the BB

Pic 2+3+4: The clones! First 2 have some weird growth, but I'm sure they will be fine in the following week or so. They are growing really fast actually! The last picture is the best looking of the clones.

Italiano715 · #90 (**permalink**) Jul-12-2009, 23:02

Pic 1: Macro shot of main cola

Pic 2: Main cola from a distance.

Pic 3: The clones I just transplanted into 1 gal container and added to the 12/12 party in the room!

You can really see the trichs' starting to appear on the buds!

This SOB is going to be frosty in a couple of weeks!!!

I'm ready! I'm ready!

Goo!

Alright, well I still have some mites on my fan leaves. I'm afraid to spray them with the organicide being at the stage they are with the budding. What else could I do to help aid the mite problem? Someone suggested dish soap w/ water and to spray the fan leaves with it. Or should I just get a no pest strip? That seems like a LAST resort as I'm not digging the chemical lingering in the air......

Italiano715 · #92 (**permalink**) Jul-13-2009, 01:16

The lucky bud to get smoked, broken down, and rollllled up!!! Now onto smoking the thing!

Happy Toking Everybody!

hey italiano, looking good. Your still only using 6 26 watt cfls? Shes looking good, nods are nice and close together, buds are looking good, altho, and this may be due to my inexperience in growing different strands, but it looks like for how much bud you got that there arent many trichoms on the leaves that I can tell, lemme look again, ya, are they still young? My girl is on day 36 of flower and she is covered in nice trichomes like a marble dipped in water then in sugar. I remember reading your first post, you were going to lst them, did you?

I'm using 12CFL (nine 2700K/three 6500K)......

I did LST them and let them go a day or so after I started flowering and they basically stretched back straight.

I probably should have topped or FIM them instead to promote branching better, but oh well....live and learn!

They are starting to fill fast now. They just finished stretching on me about a week ago, so now the last 60% of flowering time it should be fattening up (via the 60/40 phenomena). Supposed to take 8 weeks to finished flowering, but the sativish one looks to be a 10 weeker. By the time that one is done my clones I started flowering should be about 2 weeks behind that. So, if I'm correct then I should have 3 harvest two weeks within each other. I smoke a LOT of weed, so having some more meds every 2 weeks will be nice

I may even be able to let a couple of friends try em' out!

I have no idea what exact date I switched to 12/12 but it was sometime mid to late june. So roughly, 20-25 days right now.[/I]

Blueberry looking good bro! The blueberry i harvested has become well known amongst connoisseurs in my area..thanks to me

I got very lucky on my first grow and my plants produced some of the finest smelling and tasting buds with a 4 hour high, that alot of people are saying "this is the best weed I have ever smoked in my life". These people smoke like they get paid to do it too! I do not sell the weed i produce as that is illegal but people are offering me $500 an oz for this stuff...man.. I'm too afraid of jail. I wish you had some 600 watt hps lights for your girls but if you keep doing what you are doing, you should get the same results! Sucks about the mites, i hope you can eradicate them. I had fungus gnats but some non chemical pest strips hung at canopy level and others cut in half and placed between pots (like a bridge) to catch the non fliers seems to have diminished them to the point where i see no more of them. Seems you are doing well with the nutes and not burning them.. this is important with the sativa dom one as they tend to hermie if stressed. Keep an eye out for that cause if it hermies it will do so with a vengeance. Bannanas will show after about 45 days into flower.. not a big worry as out of my crop there was one lone seed. Do not harvest too early and in case you forget.. do not harvest too early

as tempting as it is.. waiting for the full 60-70 days makes a big difference in bud density and yield. I have a bud that weighed 7.4 grams dry! it wasnt very big just dense as a stone. I have g13 and stoned rhino in flower right now. Just cut 8 clones of my prized blueberry and they are in the cloner as we speak. That will be the next run.. all bb baby

Some rhino too.... Keep doing what you're doing bro and you will be rewarded
