the manufacturer will tell you which BIOS they use and how to upgrade it... be extra careful doing it... you can make things into a pretty paper weight if you arent careful ;)

then i will stick to the manu bios, as is out of box, will only specify inside of it. Last cpu i worked on was a few yrs out of hs, others i built were during hs, nothing has really changed in hardware basics, only bigger numbers and better hardware and software. It'll be fun.

Really hoping that it didn't blow anything else, HD, Video/Soundcard, i'll be out of commission for awhile if thats the case for the HD, mobo has onboard sound/video but had a SB zs plat card 24bit/96kbps, ati radeon 9800+.....nice 5yrs ago lol. Just hoping that nothngs else is blown.

Almost back to normal, going to be uploading camera program, and more files tommorrow, but glad to be back up and running after a bad bad cpu problem lol.

Glad i could figure it all out and get it fixed quick as i did alot of new hardware all installed myself, new mobo/processor/video/psu. Formatting hd, reinstalling windows, etc, and just been doing drivers and shit all day lol. Old school really...

Also havn't updated bios yet, seems to be very good as is. Rediculious monitoring system, cpu/gpu all fans temps/speeds....just stuff i've never seen before :D

Now that i've got my camera working and everything squared away....

Day 25

I've yet to see hairs on anyone yet, as i think some stray light was getting into the night cycle through the plastic as my clone chamber was sititng on top of the cabinet. But my friends little little girl looks like it has a few more weeks, so i think i may have a 12weeker which sucks....but it could be some dank shit, not a clue. Friends clone that is the same age as my leggy is showing 2 hairs today, he had LSTed his over and isint getting any stretching.

Anyway some photo's to update with.

Group photo, leggy is in the middle, wilt on the left, and the other 3 clones are in there as well, in solo cups.



Next up is Leggy. Shes got some stretching down low that i wish hadn't of happened, but oh well.



And one from the side.



And up close.



Next up is Wilt. shes got alot of potential.



Well thats where i'm at on day 25 of 12/12. :peace:

Are you sure you got a female? I just force flowered my single plant, and got a male :(
Well as the title of the thread suggests, its a clone......i wouldn't clone a boy just for fun, so yes she's a girl.

Should see something soon i hope.

Thanks for the words bfq, glad to be back to normalcy.

I remember that you said your mother never went into flowering in your old thread. How did you sex it without it being in flowering?

She went into flowering, stresses just threw her out of it. and i sexed it with preflowers. Started showing alot of hairs then stresses/heat and she pulled them all back in, then hell broke loose. But i'm 100% sure she's a lady. I'm just being patient.

Day 26

Got alot of growth very tight from the fimming i did on leggy...

Watered them yesterday morning.





And one of Wilt



And a group shot of leggy. wilt. and 3 other clones a week-wk.5 behind the others.



Still no signs of hairs yet, plenty of cones, as you can see in leggy top picture, but no hairs, started turning purple, and never really went farther than that........I did give her 10-52-10 a week ago, i don't think it was too much, but i think she might be P locked from too much! ??? 1/4 teaspoon into 1/2 gallon

hey its nice to see ya still going at it

a lot of determination for someone whos been set back a lot. I found i was encountering so many stupid problems from trying to grow in a throw together set up of my own so i feel your pain

what ive learned from my friends who grew a lot and read my journal i made 2 major mistakes that i see you might be making

1) worrying about every little detial and trying to fix it ... it ends up being more trouble then its worth

2) not understanding the strain... from what i gathered if you tailer make your set up to be suitable to what youre growing it works out soooo much easier, growing WW in a small set up with inconsistant lighting was a huge downfall for what the plant needs... i know you dont know your strain which sucks but i suggest you look into getting some seeds of something you know any reading up on it for the next grow, if ya need any advice im sitting on a pile of seeds i dunno what to do with i can throw some in the ground before ya to let you know

Well guys, just got back from being out of town for 6 days, upon my return, my hood had fallen onto the plants, internal temp was at 108F, and all 5 were extreemly crispy.

This is going to be it for awhile till i can get a hps, and good genetics, its a shame, and a huge loss for me. But hell whats new.

Anyway i'm thinking WW first off on a 150w hps should do fine. Bums me out quite a bit, but mabey its a sign. What a shame......wasn't expecting that to have happened, but looked like the hood came apart, the plexy squished all 5 and they are all very crispy.....and need i say dry to the bones. I'm not going to post any pictures, not really worth it in the long run........

I should be back after while hopefully with proper genetics and a hood that wont FK up, and getting away from CFL too.

youre very lucky there was not a fire lol

i think your set up while good requires a lot of fixing and planning before you get your next grow off the ground, its a shame that this one did not give you anything from it

if ya need anything man send me a pm, WW is what i just grew and i know where to get some good seeds, later

Not concerned with a fire hazard, its set up properly, and temps have risen alot higher than 108F with no problems for lengths of time. All pots were bone dry so that was a factor in temp as well. Its a big loss but i'm going to get this going after while and i know for sure that i had a 12weeker, which is a very long time, no clue on type either, so just gonna get somethig i know the growth pattern of, etc, and other people can suggest based on the plant not a unknown strain. HPS all the way too, and until i get that i wont be starting again. CFL's need be too close, which is not ideal in my head with proper cooling in a enclosure like mine in an enviroment like mine. I'll most likely get another fan like i have, and a carbon sock. Then i will start again.

Will do B, talked to a friend, and as soon as i get to a point where i can start he said he'd give me a clone of the one i gave him, so i may be back sooner than later. I just want to get a proper light, and setup that can be permeninet, instead of a foam core hood with cfl's in it. HPS is the way i'm going, with my uvb added as well.

Will also get back to the scrog method, as per my origional design.

Well just curious, Havn't watered them since i walked in and saw they were all crispy......

Took 3 of them today and pulled off all leaves, they were all crispy, and topped them off on water. Any chance they might reveg some, and i'll still have girls, i'm in no rush, so in 2-3weeks if they would be revegged that would make me rather happy....Is this a possibility?

Metal, sorry about what happened, that sucks. I dont have a journal, but Im doing OK with CFLS. What Ive used to keep up my plastic barrier is some velcro, and some of that epoxy putty that the guy sells on TV. It works pretty well.

Try reveging her. It doesnt hurt to try, since you were going to cancel the whole op anyways.

plants do put up with an awful lot of abuse. if there is a root ball and any amount of live (not crispy) leaf and stem, the plant will more than likely be salvageable... whether it will ever yield anything is a different matter ;)

if it was my grow though, i would cull this strain as being FAR too problematical for your grow style and start fresh. preferably with good genetics but even just with different bag seed.

i have culled a couple strains that i actually liked the final bud from just because they were such a problematic bitch to grow... and those werent even as temperamental as yours.

learning is good though... you may not have any bud to show for your efforts yet, but you sure have learned a ton :blsmoke:
