Hey you guys! Sorta? New Grow For Me!

[Dakine]

Hey you guys I haven't been fully active on this site for some years now, only came once in awhile to slobber at all the new stuff,gear, and the amount of traffic that's here now haha!

So a few weeks ago a friend was going on a trip and was doing yard work and stumbled upon 2 Ugly Looking FemAle Plants that he forgot he forgot about. He tried to germ the last 2 seeds of 2 different strains he bought, but didn't have much luck. So he ended up putting them into 2 different pots and put them outside where his sprinklers actually work.haha crazy ya?

The plants looked to be about 2-3 Weeks into flower. So during a week and a half before he had to leave, for some reason he took the 2 inside and put them under 20/4 and 24/0. He says he wants to take cuttings and do some correct plants when he is able to come back.. So he has "gifted" these to me, what a gift yah! Haha

So I've had these 2 plants for about 2 weeks now. My plan is to super crop and put them through some low stress training to see how growth is gonna be reverting back to veg.. I'll keep these 2 as the mother plants for now until I feel like the plant is stable enough to take some cuttings.

I'll be posting pics on my next post of what ever I took a snap at. Right now I'm starting my soil , small batch of some tea, and Foilar spray because I'm thinking he used some outside soil and some new soil and perlite. He also had these in the smallest pots ever and where 100% root bound the first day I got them...


EDIT- The plant I thought was a "White Chocolate" is in fact a PineApple Chunk from Barney. Kinda happy though since I didn't know the lineage of the "White Chocolate" lol..

So I'm trying to upload using my phone right now but somethings going wrong.. But there should be 3 pictures of the 2 plants literally 2-3 days after I got them.

The strains are supposed to be Lemon Haze, and White chocolate if I'm not mistaken..

The lighter colored green plant that's leaning to the side,is supposedly the lemon haze. The darker green with better overall structure and node structure, is the white chocolate..

Still debating on topping/taking a quarter of the top off of the Lemon Haze, or just let it go until I can get a few clones to root. Both plants are stretched, yes I know. But even new growth compared to the White is crAp and that's not saying much..

Right now I'm dealing with a few black nats, red ants, and a weird looking bug that has a structure of a lady bug but is nothing like one. They are darkish blue/blackish in color and for some reason I only find them when there latched onto a main node on the main stems.. It's actually hard to get it off unless u have a knife. It looks like it has a bunch of small legs lining the whole shell inside but it's a bunch of small light colored bugs. If I had left this bug on the main stem it would create a hole straight through..

I'm also dealing with a N deficiency which I think I might've dialed it in. Will see the results in about a week time.. Going to be changing the soil out of both pots with a fresh new medium. Perfect timing since I seriously need to get them into some bigger pots...

Yeah I always had a green thumb and enjoyed all types of growing but this almost seems like a lost cause. Thinking about trying to germ my old seed stock of DSD, Boggle and bubble gum, space queen , and either ak48 or um.. I forget already haha.. Don't even think there viable after 7 years..

 

[Dakine]

Man I should just do this from a computer but then I'd have to upload again

 

[Dakine]

I don't understand why it won't let me add more then 1 photo/attatchment to each post. This is getting rediculous..

Anyways, any of you have tips on an alternate to cubes for cuts/cloning? For some reason I only had 1 single cube left... Been out of work from an injury for a year now, and been getting screwed by the insurance company... Can't even purchase some of the cheapest packs of seeds at the moment..

Man if only it was easy to graph these plants.. I gotta find some braddahs with good gear near me.. Been outta the game for too long..

You'd be suprised how viable they probably are..... I'm thinking of a pre 2000 bagseed project from my sock drawer..... may be good!! Cheers man welcome to the crazy family..

If a mod sees this, could you please help me out and consolidate the pics into 1-2 post for me? I'm also thinking that I put this in the wrong sub forum.. Haha sorry I really just wanted to get this log going. I miss this place.

Anyone have positive feedback on using cinnamon &/or honey instead of other rooting agents? Don't really know if it helps promote root growth more then plain water does ya know? Plus I need what ever help I can get since funds are low and I'm going to be trying to make some clones without a dome ,pad, or cubes.

Thanks!

So until I get these plants into better shape and some new growth and geaR I only took 1 cutting from each to see if they root.

The picture is of the cutting that's still alive, and it's from the Pineapple Chunk. The cutting I took from the lemon was from a branch that couldn't fix its self even with some help, but I still gave it a shot.

This is only a pic from day 5. It's not showing roots but there is some growth. Let's hope I get another Pineapple Chunk that I can actually tend to and take care of unlike these other plants lol

 

[Dakine]

Oh and Rocky I hope so, I actually don't see some of the strains on sale from the same breeders i bought them from Many years ago.

 

[Dakine]

Anyone care to chime in? Or just drop by and make me feel like I'm not such ah horrible parent to these girls I adopted haha.

Really gotta decide on wether Ima gonna do a major topping or some super cropping. Already training Lower branches.

 

[rockymountainJ]

Top early and often!!! Just flipped this lady.... can't speak much on the cloning without hormones... Cheers nice job!!

 

[Dakine]

Thanks Rocky, I would've topped them just after the first few nodes grew if I could. But I adopted these 2 girls only about 2 Weeks ago. They came to me just how the pictures show, they where root bound, being eaten by a variety of pest/insects, and a nitrogen deficiency.

They weren't topped or trained at all, even had a bunch of Fan leaves that where blocking light from all the under growth/shoots.

 

[Dakine]

Just so everyone knows, I made a mistake. The Darker green plant with more growth/branches and nodes IS NOT A "White Chocolate" strain but it is in fact. A PineApple Chunk! I'm actually pretty happy as I didn't know the lineage of the White Chocolate lol.

Also this pic is of the bugs that keep coming back no matter what Spray I make. I need to find there eggs..

 

[Dakine]

So since none of my sprays are completely working and I can't seem to find the nest, all I can do is just kill what I can everyday so they don't completely destroy the plants..

But now I think I actually have a possible Calcium Def?

Oh and the clones I took are still looking perky. I thought the clone I took from the lemon haze was completely done for since it was extremely wilted and very bottom of the stem where I cut was soggy and slimey. But I cleaned it up a few days ago and put a little honey and it's doing fine now.

I'm kinda happy, that cut I took was actually from the branch that couldn't repair itself. I'm not out of the clear yet since I don't see roots but let's hope these 2 cuttings pull through!
