First Closet CFL Grow

Alright. it's 2 hours before the lights go out. Just got out of the grow op and it's now definite. JUANA IS 100% FEMALE! Which means my clones are female . Still no signs of sex out of Mary or Stretch, but the best one is female.

thanks for stopping by
and for the kind words
could you teach me a little something about hydro?
ive been a soil grower since ive been growing

what strain is it? just hand water them for a few days if you dont have a drip system

UPDATE

Sprayed foilage last night before lights went off.

Spray Bottle
.5 Litres of tap water
2tb Dutchmaster Liquid Light
2tb Dutchmaster Penetrator
1tsp Dutchmaster Reverse
ph 8.9
Added 3/4tsp to get pH down to 4.7

Sprayed foilage till run off.

CLONE UPDATE

....think they are dead.

I guess I should of done a TON of more reading before jumping into cloning. I figured the 5 videos I saw would be enough, guess not. I should have got a heating pad, I should have let me tap water sit for 24 hours before spraying, I shouldn't have sprayed the clones directly, I should have given more steady lighting.

I have 3 clones and 2 of them are starting to look a little brown on the inside of the leaves and all the leaves have jumbled up to eachother like they are hugging.

Still no roots have come out of the cube and when I open my Humid Dome to re-spray it reaks of mildew. YUCK!

Oh well, LIVE, LEARN, GROW!!!

aww that sucks man, my friend gave me 4 seeds 1 was dead, the 2nd one had its root stuck to the paper towel and it broke off, 1 of them had thrie root all dry and the other one I planted and I'm hoping for the best, gona try to take a clone maybe today gotta find a perfect part to take

Hey Toolage
Sorry about your clones dude.
Read up some more and post what you think you may have done wrong. I will be ready (I hope) to learn from your mistakes in a few weeks.
Meanwhile I think I should have some shoots to show you tonight after work.
Heh good times.
Did I miss a page where you put some "real" lights on those things? It is hard to believe that they look that good from just a few CFLs.
Plants are so big and bushy bro I hope to have your luck on my grow.

Well Toolage isn't the only one, my friend took 6 for me and they all didn't make it

yes so far from my reading I have discovered that this may be one of the trickiest parts of doing this. Cloning and of course breeding but that is something I will just read about for a long time before I attempt it myself.
Edit: I am no longer a stranger! cool.

wassup fellas, thanks for your sorries for the clones but I come bearing good news.

Just got out of the grow op and....
Mary is also female

So now I have 2 plants definite female, and Stretch (the worst one) still hasn't shown sex, calyx hasn't even started to form on it. Juana is now exceeding over 2 feet tall. I'm hoping this thing doesn't get up past 5 feet, but this thing grows like 2+" a day!!

Clones are definently dead, but hey thats ok. I'll start planting a few more seeds, and I'm not to sure if anyone asked but I did kill those k2 seeds I planted during the beginning of this journal. I do still have 5 more seeds so I will start those off very soon.

I will be starting off 10 small plants (5 k2, 5 bagseed) and throw them in flowering at 6" tall. I will be doing SOIL this time for space reasons. Thats another day and another journal so stay tuned for that one in the next month.

Will post pictures in the next few days.

Excellent two ladies, this grow just keeps getting better!

Sorry to hear about the clones, im having problems at the moment with a clone from a salvia plant, i know its not the same but the thing is winding me up a treat, its got roots etc but cant seem to adapt with humidity ive been decreasing it slowly over two weeks.. Anyway your idea for a future grow sounds good!
