Got a clone today ^_^. Mrs Smith is what it's called. I've never heard of it. Out of the selection, it was the best choice, though it lacks roots. I planted it in some FFOF and I have it on 18/6 right now. She's a little malnourished, but I'm sure she'll pull through.
Anyone have any info on Mrs Smith? What should I expect?
My second closet is finally up and running. I think I had the light too close at first because I started to see some very tiny circular yellowish/brown spots at the back of the leaves. nothing major. I've lifted the light so hopefully all will be well
this clone was obviously mistreated. it was in a rockwool cube under a crappy light. there were no fans on it, and from the looks of the other clones there none of them had been receiving any nutes. However, beggers can't be choosy so we gotta make sure she pulls through
hope there aren't too many pics. I got a little trigger happy.
Yesterday:
she's doing a little better since the transplant. hopefully she perks up soon. I had to clip a set of leaves (you'll see the limb below), due to the terrible condition they were in (looked like the tips of the leaves had been cut off with scissors).
Today:
The sprouts are doing fine by the way
hope everyone is having a good day
Yo dude
I think your light is too far away from the plants, that is why you are having to tie them up. They are stretching too much. I like the matches you are using, I don't know why you would have such huge matches hanging around, but it works.
That clone should be fins, as long as their is still green in your plant, it stands a chance.
I had the light 12 inches away from them and they were getting burned. i kept moving the light further and further until the burning stopped. I knew it'd cause stretching (that's why i went out and got those matches ), but otherwise they end up burned so what can I do?
scary day today, guys! It managed to get to 110 degrees the closet with the seedlings, it also stayed this temp for a good 3 1/2 hours. I fully expected to set my eyes upon a tragedy when I went to save them, but nope! All were well! Hell, one plant even thrived in the heat and ended up having a huge growth spurt.
just thought i'd share
Yeah heat won't really hurt them too bad in a few short hours, but it will eventually, could even cause hermis from stress. I get better heat management when I keep my room closed up, right now I am using a passive intake system ( which is a fancy way of saying no intake system) and an airtight bathroom exhaust fan mounted above the light. It sucks air in the bottom of the door and exhausts it high down my ceiling in that room.
I have yet to see it pass 87 f in there since I have put in the MH lamp.
Nice new clones, try to dry them out in between watering to force those roots through the pot
Current Strains:
Shiva
Mrs Smith
Abusive O.G.
O.G. Kush

Shiva
Mrs Smith
Mrs Smith had perked up before, now she's looking a little down, which I'm quite sure is due to me overwatering (won't happen again, scholar's salute!).
Abusive O.G.
Black Master Kush
The seedlings (the tiny stretched ones are Rosebud Kush, the others 3 are bagseed.):
I'm not sure what's going on in the center here..
This one was planted second of the bagseed, yet is quite far behind in development than the other two.
Bubba Kush
L.A. Confidential
I'm very very excited guys! This is my first grow and I have so many strains going! The Mrs & I can't wait 'til harvest day. Anyway, yesterday a pal of mine came over ranting and raving about L.A. Confidential. I'd heard of it before of course, and seen how pricey it could be at the clubs, but never had the chance to taste the meds myself..anyway, we all have a puff on bong, and wowzers was it delicious. I decided it was a must have, and luckily, I managed to get a clone the next day. what are the odds ^_^?
anyway, i hope i'm not boring you guys here, i see my diary doesn't get too much action
i wish i could be more entertaining :friends:
p.s. puffin some grand daddy purp right now, yummy
I would say you have alot of strains goin on, Make sure you get some clone sof those before you flower them, you can keep the plant going forever.
Everything looks great
Don't worry about people showing up here, they will when you get some buds growing, it is like porn around here, they will all come to see it
i know, inverse! I know! My friend came by with some Big Bud x Strawberry seeds. I saw the nugs they came from, and boy howdy is Big Bud accurately named. Those nugs were monsters. It's not the most potent stuff, but it's a smooth calm smoke and i reckon it'll be good for breeding.
oh jesus are these plants growing fast! at least half of the clones have roots coming out of the bottom, and all of my Rosebud Kush seedlings do! I wasn't prepared for this! I have to go out and buy more pots! ^_^
Try a nursery in your area, alot of times they will throw out pots that have been used or sell them for really cheap.
I would personally put them in like a 1 gallon pot next, until they root bound a touch then a big pot, 4 or 5 gallon, then flower them in there.
Big roots= Big buds
