Hi all, Godisprinsen and Ghost, thanks for the positive comments.

Have some new pics todays. My girl has been under 12/12 now for 3 weeks (21 days) and comming along nicely I think. Take a look....

Some close up's of the buds developing.


One of the stems


And the last a lighter for size reference.


I hope she doesn't put on to much more height as I am running out of room. As she is now it has about 20mm ( 3/4 inch) till she touches the heat screen. I will have to do some more lst'ing if she does....lol. You can see the green wire ties in the pics as to what I have had to do so far.

Any comments appreciated, good or bad, Ok. Untill next time

Cheers :gday:
 
your plant is looking great, also some excelent lst/topping combo man, at this rate, i think she will fill out all three of those branches, at 21 days of 12/12, she is probubly over her stretch, but only time will tell!

waitin for updates!

Hi all again, Christoph thanks for the kind comments, I am hopeing that the strech is over.

No new pics of my main plant today, nothing really to look at from yesterday...lol. So today some pics of my no 2 plant that is currently living in the mum/clone cab.

This plant (P2) is currently 3 weeks old, shown with a lighter for reference. It has 2 longer branch's and 2 smaller one's.


A close up showing the 2 larger stems.


And 1 from the top.


Tomorrow morning I will be cutting the 2 larger stems for clone's and once they take and are rooted it is in with at least 1 into the flower cab to start the perpetual harvest idea.

Not sure of the genetics of this 1 as it came from a "Nirvana indoor mix" suppose to contain 2 each of Master Kush, Afghan, Pure Power Plant, Skunk #1 and Nirvana Special so time will tell.

Again not sure of the total flower time of either plant so am working on about 10 weeks for each and will be putting P2 in at about the 5/6 week of flower of P1. Thats the idea any way...lol

What's every one's thought's on it all?? Good idea or bad, comments always appreciated, good or bad.

Cheers :gday:

PG, thnk you for the kind coments and welcome to my grow man.

Ghost, thank you my friend, I think my new baby is doing well. Good photos are easy with a decent camera.

Ok this morning I took the 2 cutting's as I said I would. They are floating around in plain water as we speak. Will get a photo later on for you all. Have decided to go witha new cloning method this time purely for the ease of this method, as per the following.

https://icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=10827

I am floating the cuts in a piece of polystyrene as per details in the above link. I am following the "KISS" principal so hope it all works. Any way take care all and untill next time.

Cheers:gday:

Thanks BC, comments like that mean alot to me m8, it has been some time since I have grown this wonderful herb so it is good to see things going along nicely especially when it is this small.

Ok now some pics as promised earlier.

This one is after I have cut the 2 bigger branch's ( when I say bigger. they are only about 25mm (1 inch) total length) and then it is into it's first "nute" bath. Been swimming only in plain water up untill now.


The second pic is the cuttings floating in thier new home for the next couple of weeks. Have been in there for about 8 hours now and looking ok.


The bottom of the cuts are about 1/2 in under the water and the idea of the poly is that it will float no matter what the water height. It is slightly smaller than the container so it wont stick or bind to the sides as the water level drops throigh evaporation. Hopeing that this will work, can't see why it wouldn't. I used to use a bubbler cloner years ago with great success the only dif is now no bubbles ( they make too much noise to be "stealth" ) and that is what it is all about.
A pic of my old bubblers for you all.


Once again thanks all for the comments and stay safe.

Cheers :gday:

Hi there Johnny!

Got inspired by your bubble cloner and made a new one myself with room for 6 clones. Just PH'ed water, as long as they root within 2-3 weeks I am happy! :)



Keep up the good work! :)

Hey christoph, glad you liked it. Had a thorough read my self and was taken by the idea so I hed to try my self. So far the cuts are doing great, been 3 days and still looking as good as the day I cut them.

Bc, glad you like them m8, used them years ago when I was growing hydro. The cuts usually rotted and then put into hydro unit at 2 weeks with good root formation. I believe I had close to 100% success rate with that method ( can't remember any failures acyually). They were just cheap little storage containers, but at 4 to a pack for a couple of bucks.

Ghost, once again thank you for the kind words, they are simple but effective.

Blood, they look the part and should work, how are they comming along???? should start to show roots at about 9-10 days if memory serves me correct.

feziuu, you are more than welcome, if I can help others learn as I have from this site then great. Thats what it is all about here, hey guys....

b00m, Thanks m8 love to hear good comments ( don't we all lol )

Ok, not much to say on updates as not much happens in a day or 2. My P2 plant is growing nicely and could even take more cuts if i wanted to. P1 is still flowering away and slowly filling out. And cuttings are still doing well.

I will take a few more pics tomorrow morning when I can open my flower cab during it's lights on period. My lights come on in the evening and go off in the morning. I usually check the plants at about 6 am when all else are still sleeping. Untill then

Cheers :gday:
 
hey johnny! great to hear that your cuttings are doing well! how far do you keep them from your lights to keep it in the "stasis" mode? im just curious, cause i might want to put my male into stasis, and pollinate future plants with an auto flower strain :p

cant wait for pics man!

Photo updates

Photo updates

Hey all again, some photo's as promised.

Firstly Christoph, not sure about the "stasis" mode" as such as I am just following others wisdom and keeping the lights low/indirect whilst the roots develope. As can be seen in the following photo the cuttings are shaded by the light "cover" so they are only getting a very indirect light. I will move cuttings under light when they show signs of rooting.



And some close up's of the cuttings. the first 1 is when I first took the 4 days ago, second one is todays pic
[url='https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=15529&pictureid=374899'] [/url]

Not sure if they have put on any growth but they are still looking nice and green and healthy. The next pic is a side view of cuts to show stem in water.


Now the next lot are from my P2 which the above cuts come from showing a little progress.


And finally the porn shots every body wants to see.


As you can see it is comming along nicely.Buds are starting to form and thicken up and developing a nice "sweet" smell to them, nothing to strong or over powering which I don't mind to much.

So what do you all think?? Can't wait to see what develops my self and am looking forward to the "taste" test lol.Stay safe all.

Cheers :gday:

Thanks Bc, am happy with the way things are going. plants looking great, clones happy, smell under control ( not very strong anyway lol ) temps no higher than 25 Celsius in both of the cabs so nothing is stressing. Next summer I might have the temp probs but that is several grows away yet!.
So untill next time...

Cheers :gday:
