Try and have a mother plant that is 2 months old. Use middle to lower part of plant. Cut a healthy branch at 45 degree angle. Put clones in water until you use rooting solution. Dip clones in rooting hormone then put in rockwool cubes. Lighty water and squeeze top of rock cube so growing medium is in full contact with stem. You can either lightly shave tip of root before dipping or carefully cut root down middle, that works best. Put under 18-24hr light, around 75 degrees

You should really read that ibook you downloaded , your plants will only give out as much as you put in.

Why do you water your plants @ night time should they not be watered at first light ?

You still seem to be asking questions that would be answered in every single " how to grow " thread or book and to me it seems you are ignoring the advice i gave you to do some homework on the basics of growing MJ plants.

I am only trying to give you a good base to get the most out of your plants , when i started growing which was only a few months back I could not get enough of information and found myself reading for hours on end , now the plants i have harvested are nothing to write home about but would of been alot worst if i had not done all the research

I rember the first book i bought European cannabis cultavition. Read the thing back to front a number of times before i even attempted to put beans in the ground.

Do any of you download the soft secrets news paper? Its great and free i might add.

The seeds I had came from a situation where the person did little to no research. He germed 2 seeds got 1, put it into a 15l pot in the hotpress. It went straight under 12/12 light, didn't want to do the whole veg thing, would take too long!! The light (it's the same fluoro light I now have, inherited with the seeds :lol:) was tied about 4ft away from the pot. He got a sprout, then added an infra red heat lamp (???) . After a week he had a very weak, staked stem with cotyledons and decided as it was going 'too slow' he'd increase the light cycle 'to speed things up', from then on they were on 24/0 :roll:!! He did get a staked 4ft plant with 5 nodes, no side branches and no hope of ever flowering on 24/0!! He did the same thing the second attempt before finally calling it quits and giving what he had to me :mrgreen:!!

I was quite happy with the stuff I could get from the headshops instead of having to go to a dealer, now I can't get it I had to make the decision, dealer or DIY. I'm a lazy arse but I like my smoke. The thought of handing over €50 for a bag of shite instead of just putting in a little time and effort is what swayed me. And I have to say its been SO well worth it. I've learnt loads and not just about MJ, my garden is flourishing coz I know why and what to do :lol:! It's even been kinda fun especially when I get to play with powertools haha!!! Veg box is coming along nicely, extraction fan and intake have been installed, temps constant at 25C/50%H with the lid closed, trying to up the H a bit, but best of all Celia is thriving! (She better be a damn girl lol maybe I'll get a pink pot for her next transplant, yeah I been bongsmilie)


Without the research and homework and 'learning from your PLANTS', you will get plants, you might get bud BUT you WILL be disappointed!!

I heard alot of " you cant grow weed outside over here, it needs to be in a tropical country and so on". Or you need uv lights and heat lamps to grow, if people just got the finger out once in a while and done a little reserch on the matter they would soon realise thats it CAN grow over here and you dont need all that fancy shit to grow your self some decent buds. Personly i have never invested in fancy nutes, soils or bibles and still at the end of each year i have myself a nice jar or 2 of homegrown nuggage. Simplicity at its finest.

You like power tools...? I thought you were a girl...?
 
Even the female form likes a good power tool every now and again.
Sometimes the more powerful the better!! Got to use 3 powertools today, used the drill and jigsaw on my veg box and.. anyway moving on ... :oops:

Made the intakes from 90 degree plumbing bends, used a bit of that weed control cloth stuff on the bottom to keep the bugs and a bit of light out then taped it all up to make it darker. There's one on each side, think I may have to put another fan in when I get the lights sorted properly (next mission) temps are just right at the moment and I only have half the lights in. Carbon filter going on the back of the fan so that will slow it down too.

Lastly Celia, 13 days since she poked thru the soil.
