Howdy!
Just a quick summary of what's been going on since my first successful harvest over the winter (Cheese, Celtic Hash, Skunk #1)
Cheese and C.H. were gifts from a friend, the Skunk #1 was a fem'd seed from Seedsman that, upon arrival to me, was cracked open. I figured it couldn't hurt to try and grow it, so into a 20oz bottle it went, directly under 12/12. It ended up being very easy for my newbie self to grow, and turned out to be a really sweet grapefruit smelling girl. I tried sprouting a few different beans, but had no luck with them (All sorts of newbie related issues... over watering, underwatering, pH all over the place, etc.)
Well, I ended up reveging the Skunk #1 and it survived!
I took a few cuts from it, and made a DIY bubble cloner (my first experience with hydro)
Two of the three cuts I took didn't root, but the smallest one (the one I least expected to survive) grew roots faster than I could believe!
I let that clone veg in my PC case growbox under a 13w CFL, meanwhile the reveg was in my flowering box, veg'ing away.
I modified the lights a little bit and built a screen for the box, now I've got the reveg in FFOF and the clone is hanging out next to it.
I want them both to fill up the screen almost all the way before I switch to 12/12, now they're on 20/4.
I've had some tough times with the reveg, I think it was because I got a bit carried away when I transplanted from a smaller pot to the current pot and I ripped away a bunch of roots to give it more room to grow, but now I think I'm getting it back on track. This is my first attempt at hydro so I'm learning as I go, but I've had minimal issues with the clone.
From now on I'll make it a point to update this thread with pics at least twice a week. I know its nothing that amazing to look at, but I've come a long way from my first attempted grow, and considering the amount of stealthiness I've gotta maintain, I guess I'm doing OK.
I'm using Fox Farm nutes, and I have to top off the DWC (err.. swc) every day, but there isn't too much fluctuation as far as pH (it stays around 5.8-5.9)
