8x4 1200w OG Kush (1st timer)

i never talked shit. Want me to post the conversation?

Lights are on girls have been tended too. All 12 were wilting pretty badly they looked pretty thirsty.

I watered from the bottom and top today. I watered all the plastic trays, let them soak it up then went back down and watered the tops of the soil. After I watered the top of the soil I gave them another little gulp from the bottom.

Bud sites have arrived and some plants look better node structures then others. I'm going to take a few out that I trimmed up before the flip and see if those plants look better or worst.

I already decided im going to trim ALL the plants but I'm going to wait another 2-3 days. I'm pretty sure getting rid of all the little crap is going to make a huge difference up top where my colas are.

I'll take some pics when they're looking a little happier.

sounds good

So I went downstairs and they're starting to bounce back nicely.

I was bored so I trimmed one up.




This is the one I trimmed.

wink, i got a bunch of those half gallons square pots. Any online hydro retailer should carry them

i dont like ordering stuff ... and no close hydro stores

haha you're dog's even impressed!

great job on the grow, I think you'll be fine buddy with the underwatering, always better to bounce back from too little water than too much

i'll be watchin this more, keep up the great work!

Thanks for the kind words man! And yes my dog loves the smell.

Tonight I trimmed up another. What DID look like a bush now looks like a bunch of tiny ass twigs with little puffs at the top.

I hope all this trimming is worth it. I dont want no popcorn anyway

I have always limited my trimming, so I'm interested to see how yours works out. You aren't trimming all of them are you? I think you should trim 1/2 and leave 1/2 alone and get final weights from both. I have always wanted to see a side by side of that and you've got the perfect setup for it.

You should send me your trimmings for cloning i want that kush baby!!

Can I still take clones 2 weeks into flower.

laser

These girls are too tall and lanky to leave everything on any of them. Maybe I'll trim some up to the top colas and leave some about 50% trimmed. Theres no way the little nugs are gonna pack on any weight so im trimmin all that shit!! Maybe I'll leave 2 or 3 untouched but not half!

Just my instinct.. no first hand experience. Like I said this is my first grow so we'll see thats for sure. Hopefully I make it to harvest, thats my real goal.

Its crazy to think about it but it seems my buds are already packing on weight LOL. I'll take some macro shots.

Of course they are packing weight! That's what they do all the way to the end. I can't wait to see what yours look like. The plants look really good and strong and you're grow room looks great so I think you'll be doing just fine. I understand what you're saying about the trimming, it's the reason that I grow smaller plants. I don't like to feel like I'm even wasting the time growing the part you are trimming off! Some of my lowest nugs are going to be .02 gram nugz...nothing to talk about, but add those up and they put up some weight in the end.

But it's because my plants are so small that the bottom isn't that far from the lights.

To answer your question, yes you can take clones 2 weeks into flowering. They may be harder to root and need time reverting back to veg, but they are still viable and still worth taking.

how are those clones that you took awhile back?

As promised



trimmed and untrimmed




The story with the clones:
Well I took about 15-16 and I over-watered them and neglected them. Once I paid attention to them I noticed they were sitting in a little layer of water with no where to drain. I decided I didn't want to run this strain next round and had no where to keep a mother. I ended up throwing them all away. They were sitting in the garage for about two days and they looked dead. One of them was perked up so I figured that is a keeper. Applied some more rooting hormone and stuck it in a fresh cube. Put it in the dome and left for the weekend.

Dog got upset that I left to the desert without him and figured he would fuck up what was meant most to me.. my clone. lol. Tore the fucker right out and shredded the cube. Slept by 15 clones for a week in a half with no problems but when things dont go his way he betrays me.

wow thats a bummer. for the next gro i suggest some GDP. with the set up u got those nugs would be delicous

Personally if I had that space I would seperate it so you can have veg and flower and see if you can't get 6-10oz's every 2 months. But that's just the way that I roll. I'm going to see what I can do in my place over this summer to get a true "veg" room going instead of using one growroom. I want to harvest every couple of months instead of doing it this way.

They look pretty awesome though..keep'em up!

he wouldnt need to seclude very much of that room to make a little veg box or something.

The PLAN is to find a DISCRETE piece of furniture in my house, bandage it up and put strap a 6 bulb T5 setup to it. Then I get get my dad to get his card and have 12 in flower and 12 in veg at all times. Harvest every month or so, depending on the strain.

4 weeks veg, Week 1-4 flower station 1, week 4-8 flower station 2. Every month harvest flower station 2 and move flower station 1 into flower station 1. Veg room goes into flower station 1. Clones go into veg room. Bada bing bada bam. Just gotta stop talking about it and do it.
