hey doogleaf, those clones are looking fab! But here's a tip, u may wanna cover those rockwool cubes with some mylar pieces or something that reflects the light back..because if you dont, u will notice algae and mold start developing at the base of your girls...and that attracts bugs even more!

Day 10

10" plants
Light 10" from tops
76F 50RH :clap::clap::clap:
1050PPM

What a day! I got my fan/filter combo and got it installed. As you can see it made an immediate difference in temp. No more odor either. Beautiful. Kinda loud but I have some ideas on how to quiet it. I have the humidifier still in there for the next couple weeks just to keep the RH up around 40-50. The new temp control should help stop some of the stretch I got going on just in time.

I lollipopped the girls a few minutes ago. Got before/after pics. Removed everything on the lower 1/3 to 1/2 of the main stem. It is hard to cut of healthy growth. :joint:

Added back 1 gallon 1100PPM to the res. Perfect again.

I planned on pruning the moms today as well but they were really dry and droopy when I took them out so they are sitting in the bathroom perking up for the watering they just got. I will prune them in a couple hours. They should be back to spry by then. These are some tough plants overall.

Hey Up2,

Thanks for the tip. I plan on adding a bag of Hydroton to the tray to cover the sides of the net pots and prolly the tops of the cubes. My cubes are actually dry on top as my flood level is lower than the bottom of the cube. Good looking out, man!

Cheers PPP

It is a crying shame I do not have room for more clones. I need to prune these moms and I would have about 30.

IF you SOG with clones you can go up to 4 per sq. ft.

Just got done clipping moms. Took off all the growing tips to force more branching and took off a few inches off all the taller shoots on the WBs. WB2 continues to be more prolific in veg and so far her clones are doing better as well. I only really have 1 cutting that was tall and thick from WB1 though so the comparison is not really fair. We will see come harvest in 40 days. :weed::hump:

I may have to veg future clone rounds for about a week as they will be smaller stems grown under CFLs.

Too many clones? I could take some of those off your hands neighbor. I would find a loving home for your babies :^P JK
Seems like a good problem to have if any though lol

Lights just came on. WOW. The stretch is ongoing but my internode spacing is looking better. tallest plant is almost 12". That's a full doubling of size in 11 days. :shock:

I need to insulate that fan. That fucker is loud. I can hear it from 2 rooms away if I listen for it.

Cheers Stoney. We may need to get together one of these days. We are not that far apart.

hey ...gr8 grow man! ...Ive been watching this grow for a while now

what kind of fan did you get ...I have a similar grow setup, same size, and everything but I'm looking for a fan that's not as loud.

Looking great man! I see the beginnings of some fat buds!
Sup Mared. Thanks for stopping in. Things are starting to pop around here. :weed:

dgs and ppp, Thanks for following along, fellas. The fan I got was a "grow Bright" 170CFM inline with a filter from HTG. 155$ shipped. They make quieter fans but the real quiet ones are pricey. I think I did as well as I could for the $$ spent. ;-)
