Well, I am a little embarrassed. I screwed up my biggest girl. I woke up to see her crispy from nute burn. I knew to start at half strength, always have. Don't know why I started her at full dose. Live and learn. She has been flushed hard yesterday, but it was too late.

Here is what is left of her. Not sure if I should even let her flower out now. I am positive this will have am impact on the yield.

This is the less severe leaf damage. The worst ones I removed. It was bad.

The clones:

They are not wilted, but other then that, they look the same as when I cut them... Not roots to be seen, time stands still for them for now. Hope they do root since I screwed up their mother. She was very vigorous and brancy...

hi there, I bet you get the cloning thing down.
most people (myself included) & if you don't like hear-say science says that you will get roots faster if you start with less leave area. if you check out most cloning threads you'll see everyone chops their leaves in half

having said all that I think those are rooting, keep weening them off the humidity dome like you been doing.

sorry about the mother, I think it will recover

Thanks for the tip. I have seen this done in picture before, but did not even think about it when I was doing it myself. I will give it a try next time for sure.

She will survive, but i'm sure she has been delayed. No worries, plenty of other plants to play with. I will give her some time to see what is up before I make a call on flowering her out.

Up to 7 females now. The clones have no visable roots yet, but still look the same. There are still atleast 5 more plants unsexed.

Going to see what's what in the next few days before I pop any more beans. Might be about full for this run.

Cool man, and thanks for dropping in.

The closet is always changing. Very soon i'll be upgrading the light. I got the cash finally, now I need to make the 2 hour trip to the hydro store, that's 1 way.... Hopefully this week. I was going to get a 600, since im using a 400. BUT, then I thought, im driving 4 hours for a light, and i always buy something and wish i went bigger. So Im going to get the 1000w and throw it in the SuperSun2 hood, and then ditch any cfl's i have hanging around.

The SeedBoo had recieved my M.O. and shipped out my ICE seeds. Time will tell on those :) Hopefully i recieve them.

I'm already drooling. 1000w ICE SOG. Mmmmmmm.

Thanks stonedar :) I'm very pleased with the clones rooting. Many doors open with cloning for me. I'm pulling the clones out at lights off for now, to let them settle in to their pots and grow a bit.

Forgot to add that when I get the bigger light, the grow area will expand with it.

Ok, i've lost count of the females at this point. They are everywhere now.

Im pretty sure all 4 of the clones are good to go. 100% sucess, I could not be happier. Still have 7 or 8 unsexed plants. Not sure i'll have room for them all if I get a lot more Fems unless I keep those in smaller containers.
 
Hey there,

When you mention 3 weeks veg. from seed - is that 3 weeks from when those little ladies popped through the soil? You have some serious skills, keep up the great work!

The last grow had 3 weeks veg from popping dirt, yes. :) Thank you. I like to think I have a greenthumb, this current batch has been mostly 12/12 from seed. Wanted to give it a try, see what happens. I think this run will be ok. Lot more plants, smaller containers, less light is hitting the floor. Should be atleast even with last runs pull. Still early, but my guess is this run will be better. And only continue to get better I hope, going for a SOG after this run.

This round puts me up to about 40 female bagseeds I have run, and never had a hermie. Weed is always dank. I wonder why so many hate on the bagseeds !

Got a little cash flow finally. Upgraded the grow area to keep IN the light better. Made a HUGE difference.

I bought a roll of huge 6mil black plastic, 2x2's to frame with, and the big roll of reflectix. Double wrapped the wall in plastic for light blocking.

Laid out plastic on the floor to waterproof, which is was not before.
