It's looking like the diamond OG is getting back to being healthy! I was worried, I really wanted this strain for the yield and frosty buds of jet fuel and lemon, thought she was gonna be a goner but here she is starting a new life :)

Also, it's safe to say the dud is gone, the other 4 strains have started to go bonkers! Tallest one is at 17" so I'll have to toss em but will be taking cuts for a clone trade, so all isn't bad :) wayyy too big for the tray though lol. Things are back on track, so cheers to a new beginning.

New clones coming up :
Mendo Breath - will be putting them in both ebb n grow buckets.

Ogkb- am only getting 2, one for me and one for a buddy. It's a REALLY finicky cut. It takes some people 4 months to even veg it to a size that is big enough to take 8 cuts. Then 1/2 of the cuts will die if youre not careful lol. So I don't have high hopes for this one, but if for some reason I don't have that issue, she's one of the biggest cookie yielders and is just straight up fire, it would be the best strain in the garden hands down, if she cooperates with me.

Dosido and sherbert - these will be for an ebb bucket run I think

Animal cookies- if the deal goes through these will be for the flood tray sea of green since the tray has been empty for a while I need to get something in there

Super glue, sour pez and blue petrol OG. These will be run as single plants to see if I like them, we will see how the stand up to the rest. I'm only looking to keep 4 strains total.

Glad you figured out the culprit!

What finally killed it?
Click to expand...
Thanks bro, me too, it was a wild ride lol. The ridomil at a dose of 1ml per 10 gallons is what killed it and got things healthy within days, I ran the ridomil for a few days or so and the results were pretty epic! I'm still not sure exactly what it was /is, but it's 100% a fungal infection of some sort similar to root rot. It's not the normal root rot I've ever seen but when I heard the duds that were in soil also had shitty root systems, things started clicking in my head, so complete sanitation and sterilization of equipment would totally combat it and probably get rid of it for good. Easy for me since my grow is small, but not as easy for bigger grows but at least the ridomil will kill it in the plant :)

On Syngenta's site it lists "Canna, edible" as one of the crops Ridomil is approved for!

Dude!! Awesome info!! That's worth a triple like! I knew it was for fruits, veggies and tobacco but had no idea how safe it was and was worried about using it too close to flower! This makes me feel so much better!! Great find brother! :)

The clones rooted in the macro plugs and transferred to the 4x4 blocks never skipped a beat! They kept on growing, lots of new growth already, and other than purple stems from my 70-74f veg room and 68f degree cubes, they are looking fantastic. I think I have a grasp on the rockwool already (even better results than I usually get in hydroton from the start) and think this will be my medium of choice for a while.

I always got them too wet. I need to give them a try again when I am ready to grow indoor.

That was always my problem too the last time I used them years ago, never really had a successful clone in them lol. But what I'm doing now is weighing them. A fully saturated 4x4 block weights 900g. When it hits 450g it's time to water, easy peasy! And you only have to weigh 1 block since if you put all the clones in them at the same time, they'll all be really close to the same weight. After a couple weeks when the roots are getting big and the block dries out faster, you can start daily feedings. I figure I won't have to water a new clone in a 4x4 block for at least 5 days, I think it's been 3 or 4 now and it's still got about 60% of its water still. Once ya get the watering down for baby plants, the rest should be smooth sailing :)

Weekly update

Day 35 ghostrider - this round is just blowing me away, I just can't believe how they are doing, so happy :)
rps20160308_180133.jpg rps20160308_180207.jpg

Day 14 mendo Breath and black lime reserve - I hope these stretch just a littttttle bit more, maybe another 3-4" would be perfect, other than that I think the net filled in decently

^ here's the black lime reserve, she looks really similar in structure to the spog 91, can't wait to see what she does


Here's a video 8-)



Oh, and both my damn clone deals fell through. Really bummed because I'm so far behind. My buddy thought I wanted unrooted cuts... So nothing was rooted.. And I don't have room to root them all.. And the others clones hasn't rooted cuz it's taking longer because of winter.. Ugh.. They both said they'll be ready in a week.. So we will see what's up.. Puts me further behind then I wanted to be so I'm thinking about starting a small mama room soon :???:

Thanks brother and totally hope so too! He says he'll get em to me in a week but if not I'm gonna just take a little break since I'll be so far behind, my lease is up soon in may so I've been looking into buying a house. Going to to check out a place that has 36 acres tomorrow, if it's possible to get it I may as well pull the plug on the flower room, but just ramp up veg so if I do move Ill have things vegged and ready to flower the day I move. But who knows what will happen, things don't always go smooth and I accept that lol :) I want to do greenhouse grows so bad!!! With 36 acres Jesus I'd be in heaven, plus a 36x24 garage *my dreams* lol

Thanks brother! Dude you got that right! I'm looking at another t5 since I have 2 2x2 teats and a res and pump sitting here, it'd be so easy to just add a light and get things going, I have a few mendo Breath, diamond og and black lime reserve that could be vegged for cuts in a few weeks ughh, I mean it's only my fault having to rely on others, so I can't complain if I can't get something on time for clones, but it does suck!

Thanks guys :) fingers crossed! The land sounds too good to be true for the price, but it's not a scam at least since I talked to the realtor already, but the price makes me think something is weird, maybe no cell phone service or Internet or something. I don't get Internet at the place I live now but I get full service on the phone so it's all good, hopefully a similar situation! Will keep ya posted :)

Wouldn't ya know, while we were getting pre-approved for a mortgage, the place we were going to put an offer in was sold. The offer was submitted while we were doing the paper work with the lender. Wtf!!!! Never fails lol. At least were ready now when something else comes along, looks like I'm moving in the next 90 days or less for sure so that's a plus
