We thought we might lose them all, but we are happy and lucky to have saved these 5. The new batch of clones should be only a few more days away! I checked them at the store a couple days ago and they looked great, but no protruding roots yet. As for the music, we've just had National Public Radio on, which plays a wide range of the best Classical and Opera, but also they read excerpts from popular books and current events. I think they are getting a good education! I'll keep posting pictures every couple of days to show progress! Thanks again to everyone for the input!

Everything is still on 24/7, watering about every other day... seems to be working wonders!

Old School OG


Platinum Bubba


They have started to smell! It's so nice! Fresh, but not a bud scent. More like aromatic oil. Makes walking in there everyday, more and more exciting!

So, everything is going steady. Did notice we were getting some burns on our 3 little skywalker's in the middle, so we raised the light. I also have to correct myself. We, before today, had our lights at 2' 1/2 from tops, not 3 or so. But now we're back to 3ish. I would like the skywalker girls to catch up to the Old School and Plat Bubba, but i think that's wishful thinking! Went to check our new batch, and they all have one or two roots showing through their rock wool cubes. I will let them stew a few days longer and finally, do this right! I'm ready and thankful, because i know an exponentially larger amount about Mary than i did just a few weeks ago, at that start of all of this! So, here are the current pictures!

I went to check on our new girls at the store today, and they were screaming for me to take them! All of them are healthy looking, well rooted, bitches! So we put them in small cups with holes punched in bottom. Filled bottom and around rock wool with our Fox Farms Happy Frog soil and perlite. Watered lightly immediately after and made sure the room, with both lights on now, will stay at the right environment. We learned a ton from our first botched batch, so i feel much more confident things will be right this time! Here are the newest pictures!

Nice! Those clones are a damn sight better'n the first go-round!!

Glad everything worked out for ya. This has the makings of a good show!

me rikey

Looks good dude!

Here's the situation...

Since all of our first batch, except for 5, died... and we just got a new full batch of clones... i was thinking...

Our Platinum Bubba and Old School OG are far ahead of the others. 16-19"
The 3 Skywalker are in the middle at 9-11"
And our babies, are, well, babies!

I think that i may leave them all in grow until the babies are maybe 1' 1/2 or so. At that point, the 2 bad asses may be huge, but we do have a lot of head room. Almost 9' limit! We really don't have the option to do rotations, at this time. So it may be our only option... or not. I'd like to hear what you knowledgeable people might know!

Have a great weekend!

So, today, our girls were showing a bunch of roots against the inside of the plastic cups! Figured we shouldn't subject them to too much light, so we transplanted all except 5, into the 12L potters from the 1st go-a-round. Luckily, the 5 left over, need a few more days, to establish more roots. We'll get another bag or two of soil and 5 more potters, and toss the rest in soon! It's so nice to see a full room of lovely, healthy ladies! Here's where we're at:

More to come soon!

i say trim the tops off the big ones and they will bush out while the others catch up or you can also pull the highest tops down to the level of the lower ones wil also make a bush you can hold them down with string ect tied back to the pot or i just use fishing weights and adjust as needed as the plant grows. topping them will produce more main stalks and be better and you have the time to wait as the others catch up. good luck everything looks great. Just wondering what do they charge for a tiny little baby like those.

Finally! After getting our new batch over a week ago, we decided to give them some much needed rest! We did lose one girl, to an unknown problem in the last two days... but the rest are on the right track! Also, thanks bigd101! We topped our largest two and it is most definitely helping! I've got some pics below to show. I think, as long as it keeps working, we'll keep topping them every 4-7 days until all of our girls are around the same height... then flower! Our Platinum Bubba has gone from shooting up an inch or two a day, to not doing much of anything at all. The Skywalker I topped has surpassed it in height. Is this normal? Possibly dependent on the strain? No biggy tho. We also purchased Dutch Master's Liquid Light and Penetrator to apply to our foliage. It is an expensive additive, but it does provide results! They are very, very perky now! Especially today, after switching their light cycle! Continuing thanks to those who have helped, and everyone... Have a great day! I'll post again in a few days! ENJOY!!! I AM!!!

THE REST

A few close ups... blurry... sorry

I think i would pinch the stalk and fold down some of those long ganglely ones that have stretched after a day or two to let them recover from snipping thier heads off. If you pull those down to the same height as the lower growth you should have a nice bush come up. good luck looks like everything is taking off well. if you can lower your lights some, it should make them not stretch so much just be careful for heat if it is comfortable to the back of your hand then it should be ok for the plants.
