LouDog420 - Thanks! They get healthier everytime i reuse my soilless mix. Did i mention that before? I recycle my medium and reuse it. I've been on the same 2 bales of Pro-Mix for over 2 years. I just yank out the big root masses, and longer pieces of roots and break up the dirt. Then i toss it into a big (around 40 gallon) plastic tote. The tote fits about half of a bale of ProMix. Then I add 1/2 cup bonemeal, 1/2 cup dried blood, about 7lbs (half a bag) of EWC, and some perlite. I mix it up real nice like and let it sit for about 12-15 days before i use it.

sneaky101 - Thanks! *high five*

mugenbao - Thanks man! The good part is coming real soon. They're starting to fill in and get frosty.

DiscoBiscuit - Thanks!

archie123 - Thanks! She's about 30" now.

newhousegreen - Thanks for stopping by.

Phillthy - Thanks! Can't wait to see yours.

vStagger Leev - Thanks bro! They do look like they'll be long CJ buds on 1,2,and 3. #4 is looking a little hashplant-ish.

I love to hear of people re using their dirt successfully, you create good living organisms in the soil when you re use and amend! Good work! Always a good idea to add some worms to the mix if you can, I have my nephew hunt worms for me after the raining days and add them to my mix.

DiscoBiscuit - Thanks bro! Right back at ya.

ojd - Thanks bro! Thanks again for the opportunity to try these out. I like what i see so far. At least one of the phenos is going to get a bigger run in the future.

Stickky - Thanks! I'll be on the lookout for yours. They're going outside, right?

talktosamson - Thanks! I love to reuse anything i can. I hate to toss something useful in the trash. Worms are a great idea. I'm gonna go poke around in the flowerbeds and scoop some up as soon as they're out and about. We're still having 30 degree nights here.

I'm just gonna post up a few notes i've taken on the White Jones. I keep meaning to add these to my updates, but you know how that goes.

Cloning: Cuts from all 4 plants were fully rooted in 7 -8 days. I was able to transplant them into 1 gallon bags a mere 10 days after cutting clones. Huge fuzzy white roots. I made 16 cuttings, all 16 rooted.
I clone very simply, nothing fancy. I cut the clones, scar up the ends a bit, dip them into cheap rooting powder and stick them into small 7oz clear cups filled with promix. I put the cups into a clear shoebox sized tote with another on top for a dome, and put them onto a heat mat under a couple 26w CFLs. I spray the plants and dome with a light kelp and water solution and water the cups daily.

Sensitivity: They're fems. Fems can be picky. If you're gonna cry over a male flower or two, you shouldn't be growing fems.....
That being said, these girls are nothing to worry about. I had mites and thrips on them before flower. I had a few colder than normal nights and a few random hot days. I may have gone a day longer than i should have between waterings on occasion. I know i left my tent doors open for an hour or so after lights out at least twice. So, you can see i stressed them out a bit. Even with all my screw ups, to date i have only found 2 male flowers on #2 and 1 male flower on #4. Male flowers on both plants appeared in the first 2 weeks of 12/12. All 3 of the male flowers were down low on the plant, on the lower branches. To me, that is excellent. I have full faith that these girls will not be giving me any other issues throughout flower. Bottom line is i would not hesitate for a second to run any of CSG's fem gear.

i know there were a couple other things i was gonna mention, but this vape full of kief is getting the better of me right now.... it'll come to me later.

You're right about the solid roots.

Cold temps in the clone phase slowed my canopy growth but didn't slow root development, resulting in considerable overgrowth in flower (because I vegged too long.) :redface:

I have mucho respect for successful soggers. It's easier said than done.

WJ#1 - Sugary sweet smell. Not berry, more of a confectionary-ish smell. Longer spear like buds.

PistilPete · May 5, 2012

WJ#2 - Sweet smelling with a bit of lemon. Sweetness not as pronounced as #1. More lemony. Longer spear buds, not as dense or tightly stacked as #1.
