Hey everyone!!!

I'm back again, this time with the clones from my first grow.

The setup is the same as my other grow. I have a rubbermaid box, using 6 30 watt cfls. For pics, see the other thread in my signature.

I am using foxfarm lightwarrior soil and foxfarm grow big and tiger bloom nutes, in two gallon grow bags. The plants were cut off their mommies about two and a half months ago.

The first pic is from twelve days ago, numbers 2,4,5 top to bottom, in pairs. The other pics are from today. 2,4,5 left to right. #2 is definitely growing quicker than their mother did. The bott om right corner of the left to right pics is a plant I butchered when I was high a couple days ago. I cut off just about every leaf on it.

Hey all, everything is still bushy looking, I cut a clone from each plant and trimmed the bottoms for more of a SOG. I also changed the light cycle yesterday, March 6 to 12/12. (Thats more of a reminder for me than you guys). Other than that, things are cool. If I get approximately the same amount of smoke per plant, I may call it quits until next winter, and start a new strain then. I got about four months of smoke from my three plants before, and now I have six plants that, if anything, are larger. We'll see.

Thenoffya, didn't you use a plexiglass heat barrier thing, I have the same setup as your but with 12 lights and it is getting hot! If you could elaborate on how you set it up I would appreciate it, thanks. And how much did the pelxiglass cost?

Hey ganjababy, I attached the best pic I could find of how I attached my plexiglass. I just suspended it below the bulbs. My original idea was to use some ninety degree brackets and attach it anywhere, but I realized I had the room to attach it directly to the light fixture. There is about two inches between the bulbs and plexi. It cost about $10 total, counting fasteners, but not counting the little plexi cutter I bought. All from Lowes.

In the pic below, you can see how one corner of my plexi is attached. A smaller piece of plexi is screwed to the fixtures, to which a the large piece is bolted. The right side of the pic is above the plexi.

Not much new today, babies are just transitioning from veg to flower. New pics, kinda look like old pics still. Soon, massive bud pics will be coming. To give a little comparison, I uploaded a pic of what my box looked like last time I was at this stage. Note that two of those five ended being male, while these six are clones. I feel I am looking at a fairly large increase in yield, knock on wood.

It's nice, when you know they're all female. I'll be waiting to see the massive bud pics. They do look nice and healthy.

and here I am finally updating again. With the end of the story. Here are some pics from when i leached the soil, about three weeks ago, and some more pics from the last two weeks.

Gorgeous plants - short compact w/ lovely frosty budz excellent job

thenoffya · #11 (**permalink**) 05-11-2008, 08:47 PM

Yep.

First pic is what I harvested from my twin #5's, then what was left on the plants to mature for a while longer (I did this with all of them and they all look similar). Next is the haul from #4, which produced a fair bit more than #2's did, but less than #5.

The last two are pics of my drying box, after I was all done.

Biggest lesson I learned from last night? When you are harvesting, scissors or pruners that snap open automatically are worth their weight in gold. I've already spent more time harvesting these plants and my hand doesn't feel broken like it did after my first harvest.

More pics coming when the rest is done.

Thanks for the well wishes and congrats and all. WOW. This is pretty good stuff, I just smoked a bowl of a lower bud that I quickdried, and even though it was pretty harsh and chlorophyll-y, it was still good, nice head high, my legs are tingling also, and the best part was that even though it tasted chlorophyll-y, I could also taste the bud, and it was kinda blueberry-y, which by the way is fantastic. Unfortunately, I cannot ramble on anymore as I need to get up early and still have things to do tonight.

I don't have a clue what the mass will be because I don't have a scale. I may try to find one just out of curiousity, but I think if I found out I would want to try to grow for profit, which is not something I should be doing.

to quote an ol mate BSI once said scales are for drug dealer
and were not dealers , just bloody good growers
