thanks phish...gonna look into that stuff. looks cool. i use insulated ducting but i kinda hate it.
i'll build you guys duel rooms that way you can have a battle grow! lol.
Having a new issue. Some of the leaves on 3 of my plants act like the plant is over-watered although its not. and some of the blades on the fan leaves are turned sideways. None of its nutrient burn because they are still green....the leaves just look sick and droopy...

what up phish? my best guess would be deficiency. Mg deficiency can cause leaf twist. i deal with it a lot in sunshine. what's your soil pH? Mg is kinda a bitch sometimes cause it like a high pH and can get locked out by other nutes like Ca. you should really get a soil pH tester. testing runoff is not an accurate measurement of a soil's pH.

i wouldn't waste the money. if you're having a lockout deficiency then adding a bunch of cal/mag to the mix will only cause more problems. also, even though you pH your water to 6.6 doesn't mean your soil is there. i used to pH my water in sunshine to 6.2 and within 3 days it was at 7.0. i know you have dolmite lime in the mixture but i would really look into gettin an accurate soil pH. maybe with some of the cheaper tabs. if you're gonna grow soil or soiless indoors then testing the pH accurately is important in my opinion. some guys disagree but i've seen tons of problems caused by soil pH.

i just try to ph somewhere from 5.8-6.1 hoping to keep the medium around 6.3 ish. you think that would help him at all phil?

can't hurt to try. if i'm having issues and can't tell what it is i try to change 1 thing at a time and give it a little while to see if anything changes. that way you aren't changing 5 things at once and when the problem gets fixed you don't know what did it. or worse, you create a bunch of other problems. i think it's a pH issue cause i had the same problems when i started in sunshine. especially running multiple strains.

anytime man...only cost you airfare. you know you're welcome here brotha.
Time for a picture update finally. Been kinda lazy with the picture taking. We're now at day 15 of flower. Tomorrow I'll be going into the room and trying to tie things out a bit and start cleaning them out a little bit. Also gonna grab some rapid rooters and take a few clones from each of the strongest ones I have...and figure out which of those clones will become mothers. Also a photo of a new little piece i got from a place called glass jungle in san diego. Bad ass place...sells glass pieces and reptiles.

i wouldnt clone 14 days into flower dude. i think they will come outt mutated, take forever to come back to normal and i heard sometimes it can fuck up the genetics. not 100% sure though.
phil probably knows.
girls are looking awesome congrats man! day 15 already, times flyin

Yeah I know I should have done it sooner but i've heard of it being done with success. Just need one healthy clone to make it from each...that way if any of this turns out bomb i have mothers for them.

what up fellas. plants are looking great phish. nice job on the recovery. keep it green and you should have a nice yield on your first socal harvest...
as for taking cuttings 2 weeks into flower...you can do it if you HAVE to. like these guys said; it will just take longer. this far into flower you could be looking at an additional 2-3 weeks just to get those cuttings back to where clones from vegging plants would be. you won't have to worry about mutations or hermies but if you are trying to get them ready to flower when you chop these then i'd just go and buy new clones. good chance they won't be ready in time unless you wanted to put them to flower when they were still really small. the other thing is; if you are trying to create a mother from them just in case any of these plants are really good i think that's a fine line you are walking. not only will the cutting be stressed additionally cause you are revegging them but then if they do survive i would be worried about the strength of any cuttings you took from them. in my opinion i would start with some new clones from the dispensary. then take some cuttings from them and go from there.
