LST, Top, FIN, Clone 1st grow from bagseed

DarkStar9 · Apr 5, 2008

Hello everybody, I am starting a second journal on the second group of plants of my first grow, I bought this mid grade bag sometime in February, found 2 seeds and both germinated.
Pictures attached(Early March), including the ones showing the one I overwatered :oops:

....it's fine now...
I have Topped, FIN, LSTed and cloned those 2 plants.....

Late March Pics, I'm growing with CFLs in a grow box at 72/75ºF, 50/55% humid and feeding Fox Farm Grow Big and Big Bloom every other day with a flush every third feeding.
The plant I topped developed 4 new big stems and pretty much got out of control and the one I overwatered got LSTed and FINed.

I Transplanted them into 17qt pots on March 31st and took one clone from each yesterday(I will be posting all those pics tonight), if those clones develop then I will be forcing them to show me sex since I'm looking for a mother plant and go with clones from there,
any help and wisdom will be highly apreciated
by the way the plants are almost 2 months old

They look great! Can you tell me more about FIM though? I've always wanted to try it.
Thanks,

I took a pair of nail clippers and pinched off 3/4 of the bud on the very top of the plants but you have to push some leaves apart and you'll see a small bud, not like topping when you cut the stem just above the last branch formation.....
I rather top to be honest, more new strong branches grow

Topped on march 15th and 2 weeks later

here are some pics on their new homes and clones..

nothing new, plants are growing good and the clones are still alive, as soon as the clones root I'll put them on hempy buckets and into the flower closet they'll go

Hey DarkStar9 - Thanks for the info on fimming. I looked around in the FAQs and found a kool tutorial on it https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/13820-fimming-topping-101-a.html Anyway, I tried it and love the way 4 new growth tips pop up.

Your grow looks great!

:peace:

tuned in dark, I also tried my hand at cloning and fim in my current grow so far so good on both.... I will be watching much support for fellow hempy growers.... whats your light setup for flowering ???

DarkStar9 · Apr 17, 2008

ok, I had some problems with the soil I had my plants on, didnt drain well and it became so solid that the roots didnt grow at all, i noticed spots on the leaves and some little bugs so I transplanted them into hempy buckets, I water them twice a day because the roots are still small and they are doing well now, their clones are on hempy buckets too and already on 12/12 to find out the sex.
I doing cfl all the way, I know it takes longer but I'm planning on doing Hempy/SOG taking clones every 2 weeks so after that it will be a harvest every 2 weeks anyway...

bigd921 · Apr 17, 2008

cool, we can help each other along the way I will stay tuned in to your grow, and feel free to drop into mine, I am hempy and cfls as well... 2 are budding nicely.........

DarkStar9 · Apr 19, 2008

this clone is showing some nice white hairs, I already took some clones from her mother, pics dont show them well but they are there.....white hairs!!

DarkStar9 · Apr 19, 2008

after cloning the mom

bigd921 · Apr 19, 2008

you have to love when you see those hairs now its just hurry up and wait lol... looking good go hempy.......

DarkStar9 · Apr 19, 2008

yep, I had 3 monster plants going and the first 2 showed balls so I was stressing but the third was a girl and took clones real quick.....ok now this journal is about the other 2 I had growing Trinity is a girl and was cloned 4 more times and as soon as they root I'll flower the best 2 on hempies so they dont take that much room, my plan is to flower 2 or 3 clones every two weeks so I can harvest 2/3 small plants every 2 weeks, since my flower room is not so big and I'm going CFLs all the way I have to go for small plants, I will cut the lower branches of the plant to grow just the cola....maybe 1/2oz per plant..

DarkStar9 · Apr 20, 2008

Happy 420 people!!!
more white hairs on this clone......yeah
