goodlooking everyone!
weedcurious looks like the farthest one along, lots of stretch to kick off flower there...
azimut, nice to see a seedling coming up isn't it?
small time, glad to see some new styles being used
and snype.... sorry to hear that bud, hope u stick around to judge and comment along the way...
also bigups glory, happy that u made it in this round again. surely the exp. from last round will help this time...

so
finally
I'm in:

2 plants in yogis as of right now. one flo clone, one seedling of drizella f2 I made earlier this year. (drizella = (cindy99 x white widow) x (cindy99 x romulon) from dynasty seeds) this is the first time im running the drizella f2, I have about 10 others in cups, decided to give one a try in a yogi.
I have more clones rooting now, hoping to fill all 5 of my allowed yogi cups...

:tiphat:
 
Weekly check in time! I think stretch is about done now, but had to super crop all three to keep them under the lights, one tip of one fan leaf scorched afterward, but otherwise It think they'll be happy now.

Interesting observation. I have a group of 5 (clones, same mother) a week further along, the difference is they were all topped before I put them in, they're a little 'branchy' but manageable and they're staying well under the lights.

Here's the girls!

Back in the game

Back in the game

After an aborted initial attempt to root a clone in a seed started mix, the clone wilted badly, I'm up and running again. I put the clone in my bubble cloner in the hope that it would revive and root.

It took a little bit longer than I expected for my cutting to root but it finally did. The roots were nice and long and very healthy looking. It was a little disconcerting putting those nice roots in such a small container but it worked out.
It looks a little worse for wear but it will pick up. I'm doing a little hempy bucket grow. I've never done a hempy bucket grow so I thought it would be fun to do it for this challenge. It took a couple of small rockwool cubes and pulled them apart into smaller bits and lined the bottom and side of the cup with the bits. I inserted the

rockwool cube that held the cutting in the lined cup. I fed it with Dyna-Gro nutrients using their first week recommendations for a drain to waste system.
By the way I'm loving the entries so far. A lot of talented growers.:tiphat:

left to right: Flo (temple cut) clone, kens bay 11 (could be a male) clone from unsexed plant, blue heron clone, drizella bx seed (my own bx), buddah's sister clone.

so mostly clones for me, altho the bay 11 is a clone of an unsexed plant from seed, so it could be a male.... and the drizella bx, who knows...
all are potted in a various mixtures of peat and perlite.

thanks bug, yours is looking beautiful!
they all got hit with canna start so far and some seaweed, will be getting botanicare pbp this round i believe, will update on that.
were under t5's with the clones, now they are in the slant light of my 1ks, probably will remain there untill finished

there is a chance i may turn this whole thing into a pollen chuck, letting one male live and skeet skeet on the 3 or 4 remaining females, could be fun.
 
I hate drama filled weeks but how else do you learn? My cheap ph meter went on the blink and instead of doubting the meter, I thought a plant was acting up. I then compounded the problem by adding way too much acid (vinegar). Once on a roll, I missed that the small pump was causing major heat problems. I lost a 15" grapefruit and and 16" Resin bomb. I managed to save the yogurt cups, but barely. The bad roots regrew, but then I found I wasn't using enough nitrogen (6-15-8, so switched to 20-20-20) and one plant was having a hard time. Because I'm experimenting by running five different trains at once, I found a few needed more hands on care than other ones.

Mini rant. I lost three meters that went bad because the cheap Chinese meters don't explain to use 4.01 or 7.01 solution in the cap when not in use. After reading up on $200 meters, I saw the chinese instructions weren't good ones. More or less set and forget, without the need of wetting solution. I now have a back bottle of r-0004. Plus the wetting solutions. Because my quadriplegia has allowed me to lose the meter in the tank a few times, I went with a better cheap one with a separate meter and sensor. Live and learn.

Here is a week after the accident showing the rapid comeback of the cloned grapefruit.

And here is a change to the cups. The first trial was using a 1/2 hole for the roots, and the second was missing the bottom (now the top) completely. Wouldn't ya know it the best for ease of pulling out the plant, and retaining the pool noodle for holding onto the stem, was leaving a 1/4" ledge around the outside.

My entry seems to be doing well. It's grown about an inch in a week and the new growth looks healthy. I'm liking this hempy style, if things continue to go well, I'll use this style for a regular grow. I'm not adjusting the ph like you are supposed to and that might bite me in the ass in the future but for now, everything is fine.
