Hello everyone, I am still green with my experience and have undertaken the proect of growing 9 clones from a bubble system I created 5 months ago. The parent plants were grown from seeds of a cross between Love Potion and Purps. I am using a 90w 3 band l.e.d. light and one 43w cfl warm white with this system for light. For nutrients I am using the 3 part flora system, seakelp, worm castings and bat guano, and a few drops of superthrive here and there. I have also appiled a self creating Co2 system that works well to enhance this operation.
I started the clones 5 months ago when I finished the system and since then I have only gotten 2 of them to the point of harvest. The other 7 are nowhere near ready for harvest as they are continuing their growth spurt and preflowering still it seems. 4 of the clones have also grown remarkably larger than the 3 Others remaing. Alomst 3 times as big and hardy. From all this time in the bubble tank, the roots systems of the clones have all basically grown together as one huge root ball. All of my clones have been only putting out leaves with 1 to 3 blades on them. This has happened from day one, 5 months ago when I placed the clones into the system for their 12/12 cycle. The only leaves I see with more than 3 blades on them are at the very base of the plants where they are very tiny and inept from pruning low branches. The 2 plants I harvested from this system were harvested a month ago and I am befuddled how 7 other clones of the same parent strain are still preflowering with no resin in sight after a month later. These plants are growing great but it just seems like there is something different going on I cannot explain from the incredible amount of time being taken and from the output of leaves with hardly any number of blades on them.
I would sincerely appreciate any feedback from knowledgeable growers as I am far from that in experience. I am happy to answer questions to clarify anything but I cannot post pictures because it is damming from where I live and do this..
