Thanks Munkie...you're advice is always so helpful! I'm proud to say that today is payday and I'm getting supplies. I pick up my ppm meter today, some pots and medium for the clones, some more hydroton for my budding new Kaya Gold, and another DWC bucket to have as a spare for res changes.

Woohoo! Got my ppm meter, finally. My water out of the tap is 174ppm. I tested each of the girls and they are both at 700 (704 and 712). Is that good?

Yup for veg sure

OMG... Alice is amazing. I had a little container where I was keeping the "casualties" of trimming...a couple of little bowl packs... and we deemed them dry enough to smoke tonight. I shared my two little bowls with hubby, son (age 21) and son's girlfriend (age 23) and all four of us were zoned for about an hour and a half...and she isn't done drying yet! Damn I wish I knew what she was.

The taste is sort of like burnt plain popcorn...ever had the stuff with no salt, no butter, no nothing...just popcorn...imagine that slightly burnt and with a very light sweet overtone. Nice flavor. Wicked stone...this message has taken me like 5 minutes to type...too bad theres gonna be less than a zip when she's done drying.

Tehehehe...no, yes, and how 'about that....

Yep, I'm a woman (and not a young one at that). I'm a grandma and I JUST now found out how very much I love growing marijuana. Up till now, I always thought I had a brown thumb and that I was a bane to plants. Turns out I just had zero interest in them and that's why they all died. Pot plants, on the other hand, I have VERY much interest in.

Ha! Not even in my better years... LOL

Gud times in this thread... Cant wait to put these 3 new strain i have into flower but i must be patient lol.
I think ill chop a grape god to calm my anxiety!!!! Who wants to come blaze wit me? my treat!

Well, I finally got the NLxBB clones potted. They've been rooting in rockwool for 10 days and today, it was time to cull and plant.

I chose the 6 best and put them in the pots in the grow room.


They had good sturdy roots and I've put them in FFOF with a 20% perlite mix and started them on 1/4 GH nutes.

Here's my poor troubled VK. I hope she makes it. She looks good on top, but her roots are really troubling me.


Red Cherry Berry continues to shoot for the moon. I love her!


And, introducing Kaya Gold. She just popped up yesterday.


Once the clones have adjusted to their new pots and soil, then we're going 12/12. I'm aiming for December 1 to go into flower, but I'll probably change my mind a dozen times...and one final time before then.

And my first grow is officially off the line! And away we go.

Very Very pretty bluejeans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, this is my first run of this. I'm really looking forward to letting you know how it smokes! LOL I started with 13 clones of this and 12 of them developed strong, good looking roots. I was pretty proud of myself since this was the first time trying to root clones. Of course, I had great clones to start with!

Back on 10/24, at GudKarma's suggestion, I tried taking a clone from my Alice. Alice was past six weeks flowering at the time so it was an unusual time to take a clone, but with his instructions, I tried it.

This is what the clone looked like the day I took it.



Now, weeks later, with the exception of the fact that her fan leaves shriveled up and died, she looks pretty much the same. GudKarma insisted that new growth would appear on the bud. I trusted him.

But deep inside, I suspected I was not magical enough to make it happen. But I continued to care for the little thing, even though there was not one indicator that it was growing. I finally took it out of its rockwool, ready to give up and was amazed to discover quite a few roots growing in there. So I put her in some good soil in a cup and continued to nurse her for another week.

And tonight, it all paid off. I was making the rounds, checking everybody and saying goodnight before lights out when I decided to take another hard look at little Alice 2. I've been working the room all night, changing 3 reservoirs, repotting 12 clones, setting things in final position in the grow room for some serious vegging, and I just stopped and looked at little Alice 2.

And there, in about 3 different places, was some tiny NEW GROWTH! Looky!


GudKarma, thanks a bazillion. I trusted your theory, but had little faith in my ability. But you are a great coach! Thanks to you, Alice lives on...

Trust in gk, my boy truely knows his shit sista. Great news on Alice2, and never doubt in yourself BlueJ mate. The power of + thinking works .

Pretty soon you'll be growing like a pro

Absolutely! He's a great mentor. Like I said, I trusted him explicitly (evidenced by the fact that I followed instructions and did something that I just didn't see would work). I love growing and since I'm an old lady, one of the things I have learned in my life is to listen carefully to those who are doing what I'd like to do, and learn. GK has beautiful stuff and lots of it so when he offered advice, I took notes! LOL
