- Thread starter Guffetrold
- Start date
hey bro ur doing great especially for your first run. Them clones u took are called monster cropping. Usually they're taken at day21 of flower and you will end up with monster clones with heaps of branches. There's tutorial on here by Kodiak (covers all sorts of training) suss it out man worth the read. Peace

Thanks again for the comments guys, I will be throwing up a picture update tomorrow!
My tiny Eldorado showed sex at only 20 days (12/12 7 days from seed, and 24/0 rest of the time) Beautiful white pistils showing at 3rd and 4th node, simply beautiful! Shes 10 cm tall
The skunk is fattening up real nice, the Widow is a bit behind and has deficiencies (potassium i think) It does seem to be moving forward though, and i did flush her with a mild dose of nutes + some 0-205-20 flower booster (I think it said!)
I have taken an additional 3 clones (2 WW and 1 Skunk untopped) - ALL the other clones have rooted nicely and have been transplanted to 0.5 liter cups. No new growth yet, but they're getting there!
Until next time

Whoa, its already been a month since my last update! I have been very busy with school and other personal stuff, but I will try to squeeze in an update each week (if somethings worth updating )
The first grow is DONE! Unfortunately I deleted some of the harvest pictures by mistake, so not all are there.
Day 54 12/12
The first girl to go was the topped Skunk #1. I think I may have jumped the gun on this one in retrospect. I used a microscope to inspect the thrichomes, and got worried cause more were turning amber each day. Most were clear though with little to none turning milky. I harvested after a weeks flush (leaves were still green) and ended up with roughly 160g wet. Bear in mind that I had 1 minor and 1 medium size cola removed during flower, for testing (and one that broke) so she could have yielded more
Wet weight: 160g
Dry weight: ~40g
Buds very clipped and trimmed and left hanging in a dark room with ventilation. Jarred after 5-6 days.
Day 62 12/12
The second to go was the untopped Skunk #1. I started to flush her at the same time as the other Skunk. She still had a lot of clear trichs, but at least some were starting to turn. (note: when the other was harvested)
At day 62 she had gotten pretty yellow and the buds were very swollen. I could find very few clear, but alot of amber (maybe even degraded fully) seems I have a hard time hitting the right spot if I want milky thrichs, but its my first one so im not worried.
Wet weight: 140g
Dry weight: ~30g
I was very surprised by the yield of this girl, considered I had expected her to yield even less, with her lack of training.
Day 68 12/12
Unfortunately these pictures were lost
The last one, the problem child, the White Widow. During most of her flowering, she had what I finally decided was either a pH fluctuation or calcium deficiency. I had planned to by some lime for some time and quickly found some. I gave it both in the water and on top of the soil (may have used way too much, followed a recipe, but once done found out I used liter instead of gallon effectivly making it tripple strenght! doh! Used a little before realizing my mistake) However, the plant didnt get worse, and actually bulked up in the last few weeks of its life. It was hard to know if it really got better, cause the leaves were still kinda messed up, but at least, it didnt look like it got worse.
I picked it at, what would be 15 clear 30 milky and 55 amber..The plant was sick so I expected it to go longer, but decided to harvest after a weeks flush.
Wet weight: 220g!
Dry weight: Still drying!
This one was sent do dry with the smaller leaves still on (simply couldnt cut them at the time, decided to harvest eeeearly morning) but weight after about 4 days of hanging is ~50g
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now all there is to do is cure the shit out of the product and come up with a smoke report once the smoke is smooooth as fuck (hopefully)

Now I want to present you for my future girls, which will definately keep me busy!
Remember the clones I took a while back?
They look a little different now!
This one was tiny and bending over for the light. I decided to 'nail' it to the ground with wire and it eventually grew 4 tops.
Really liking the branching power of these clones:
Its growing as a bush with 4 tops, but the tops just keep branching out, so im curious to see if it will just be one big bush of bud
And look at the size compared to this lighter:
Another one:
This one I decided to grow into a big, one cola plant, but im not sure the branching will let me!
The last one - my mini:
She was last to be transplanted, so hasnt had the same time to grow:
All I can say is wow! I am really excited for these clones! They are very, very compact and my fear of long internodes from a flowering clone has so far been put to shame. I would probably be more worried of mould in the "budbomb" I picture in my head lol
Finally I want to give an update on my darling, my sweetheart, my soon to be troublemaker:
Eldorado main branch topped. Just topped the 2 new + 2 more a few days ago:
She seems to be diggin' the LST
Phew, that was quite the update. Its late night (or early morning) here, I might just celebrate finishing this novel by getting blitzed! 
Oh, I almost forgot!
Introducing...
Sensi Kush:
and
A mixed tray of Blueberry and Widows
Until next time...

Thanks guys, its good to be updating again
I wonder if the total flowering time of the clones will be less than when grown from seed?? Seeing as they are mature and already have showed sex I hope so, cause I really want to harvest around the new year..

The Widow had the best flavour as a whole, whereas the Skunks lacked smell and only one of them was flushed properly, but I will wait until this next batch is finished to say anything bad about the smoke, as I am certain it was my newbie mistakes not causing them to reach their full potential
27-11-2011 Eldorado @ day 12 flower:
27-11-2011 My three monster cropped clones @ day 12 flower:
Unfortunately I didnt label these, but my guess would be it's a White Widow:
This one has a deep, green colour just like the Skunks did. Im not sure which pheno this is - I like it though, its a funny plant:
This im sure is the slower, but stinkier of the two skunk phenos:
And finally, a group shot
