Grow Ep 2 - The Clone Wars

After some long and tedious process of optimizing my cloning process and setup, I was able to root and plant two Northern Lights off the mother I currently have in flower. In addition, there are two clones picked up from a collective (now closed down), one Blue Dream and one Trainwreck.

(photo order: NL clone, NL in soil, Blue Dream, Trainwreck) will update soon, these pics are a few weeks old

In this order (NL 2nd clone, Blue dream, Trainwreck, NL first clone)

whats with the extended post with one question? please edit and specify exactly what is happening with your clones or post a pic or two...

Since there's interest I will post the pics of my newest clones... two NL. Once was from while the mother was flowering, because I was afraid the others wouldn't root, but turns out I got em all to root! Just took a while... my setup is pretty minimal and low budget, just a heating pad on a hard back book and a plastic pitcher top, and a dvd tower case cover. Sometimes I use a piece of closepin to create an air opening near the bottom. Cloning with Rapid Rooter plugs, and Clonex rooting compound.

Its been a while since I posted new pics... I guess I was just trying to dedicate most of my attention to finishing the last grow. But now I put all the clones into the flowering room and gave them all proper transplants into 5g pots. New pics soon...

In total, now I have 2 Blue Dreams (cloned one more), 1 Train Wreck, and 2 NL clones

Here are the pics of the ladies... Also of notable difference, is I changed bulbs as the HPS bulb I had was starting to die on me. I checked my ballast, and while at the time of purchase I had no idea what I was doing I realized I have a 600w ballast and they just happened to give me a 400w bulb. So my new 600w Agrosun bulb is now in there, which will explain the yellow tint on all the images. I think the girls are stoked on the new light and their recent transplants...

In Order: Trainwreck, Blue Dream, Blue Dream Clone, NL Clones

Looks great-- what nutes are you using?

I ask because the purple stems on one of 'em is a sign of P deficiency/ lockout, or high PH. Just wondering!

Just starting using some flowering nutes at the moment, mostly fox farm. Actually the purple on the NL is because she outgrew the veg cabinet for a few days and got less light than she wanted.... those NL's are fast growers! also, when distressed a little can purple on the stems... she's better now though

"im tryn to clone but they all die why?" because you fail in some fashion or another? why not give out these things called details?

ahha call of doobie, nice one

yeah i kinda disregarded that post about cloning...
