So I took some clones off of the 2 Amnesia Lemon plants and the the Madness plant. 4 of the 6 clones look to be in really good shape. The other 2 are drooping a bit, but show signs of improving. I will move them to a Bubble cloner I constructed and will keep them there until I am ready to go for Growing Round 2. I will post some pics of the clones after I move them from the humidity dome to the bubble cloner.
I will probably flip the lights this Friday. That will be 3 weeks of vegging and 4 weeks from sprouting. Both Amnesia Lemon Plants are about 10 inches tall. Madness is about 7-8 inches and that gives me pause. The other thing that gives me pause is the fact that La Musa is an auto, and I was hoping to keep the others in 18/6 for as long as possible for her benefit, but I need to factor in my space limitations. When I flip to 12/12, I will be affecting her yield (at least that's the conclusion my research into the issue has led me to). I can definitely see why hardcore growers do not like autos. I like that I will be able to harvest a good month before the others, but you can't clone them and given the price of seeds, I cannot see why anyone who is growing for personal use would do primarily autos.
Bought an TDS Meter and a pocket microscope from Amazon. The TDS Meter is great and now I do not have to guess on PPM. The pocket scope is more for harvest time, but I am also finishing up a small plant in soil for a friend and it has been useful to check the trichomes on it.
The Plants are looking good. I made the mistake of trimming off some fan leaves on the Madness, but the plant doesn't seem mad at me anymore for doing that. I read a pretty interesting debate on that issue here in the forums somewhere and thought after reading it that it would make for an interesting experiment, but I cut higher than I intended to.
That's where I am now, I will definitely be snapping some pictures tonight. Not sure if I will be able to post them, but they will follow.
