Hey Hey Mr G
When I was first reading your posts, I was afraid how your plants would turn out, but damn did they ever bounce back, awesome looking.
The only advice I have is trying jiffy pellets for cloning, I transplant them once I see roots popping out the sides, they always take after that, and you just transplant the whole pellet. Very easy.
Good luck with the finish

hey DR.Dog! yea I guess it goes to show what a tough little plant it is we grow...i still have some small problems but otherwise they are all looking healthy and hopefully the end yield hasnt been fucked too hard :yoinks:



I went ahead and put the clones into some peat pellets that i had because i didnt want to go downstairs to storage and risk having the neighbours see me lugging up the soil :bat: .....they almost all had roots sticking out so we will see who pulls through and who dies :weakestli

did you use a humidity dome when the clones were in the wick cloner?
if so you may have pulled the dome off to early. it needs to be done slowly... step by step. e.g open it a little more each day or if its a bottle/bag make a hole and enlargen it everyday. keep the leaves misted and damp if u havnt.... they should pull through fine.

Ok NG i put em back under the humidity hood and they have gotten alot better, then i made another stupid mistake!!!aarghh i changed lights from the 30w fluros to a 125w CFL and i think they have gotten too much light and have started trying to veg instead of develop roots...they have gotten some serious yellowing on the leaves and have started browning and dying on the leaves also overnight so i quickly changed back to the 30w and it hasnt got any worse, so fingers crossed.....lmao what a learning curve.
i now understand why its so ridiculous when the newbies ( like me) come on IC and ask about 5000w grows etc....im having problems with a few plants imagine having 50 or a 100 on your hands....

well heres some pics on day 13 of flowering...the bubblegum is developing lots of flowers and fast.....the northern lights is taking its time though so itll be interesting to see how it all turns out...still early days.

The two main colas on my BG...


a couple of the NL tops coming along slowly but surely


and another small BG top...


hows your harvest coming along NG? hope your able to hold yourself back at least a little while lol

I really hope the BG clones pull through as I love this plant so much!!!!!
I'm also starting to see the advantages of getting a decent camera for closeups.....

grow safe everyone.....

Hey man, don't stress about the clones. The more you worry, the more you want to fix and then things go bad lol. I was worried about my clones too, but then I just left them and let them do their own thing and bang it worked lol. If you have the room build a bubble cloner, it doesn't cost much and it works great.
Here's an amazing link for a bunch of DIY threads that pontiac and some others posted, it's a great resource.

DIY thread

Can you post some pics of those clones?

Hope everything works out man, those plants are coming along nicely.... :joint:

hey man nice lookin plants. i would recommend to you trying a little bubbler cloner. i dunno if its the same as your cloner but i built one out a rubbermaid container. i poked holes in the lid for cutting and got air pump that i connected to an airstone and kept the ends in the bubbles. i didn't even use any root growing solution or anything and they all had big healthy roots in less than a week i believe. well good luck

cheers everyone for the help and comments....

ive had some bad news arrive yesterday....my friend who lent me the light and ballast, gave me knowledge and wisdom and also gave me the bubblegum seeds has died.......

he was run over by a truck last week but i just found out yesterday after id been ringing him and sending messages on msn for a few days without any response...........

he was over on the sunday before it happened and he looked great and was so excited for harvest time so this whole grow is in his honour.....cant fucking belive his gone, i talked to him the night before it happened.....

he was in his last week of a medical residency and was about to become a Doctor after 8 long years of study

So everyone remember how quick your life can end!!!!!!!!!!

and most of all enjoy the one your living.

peace and love

wow... looking really good. very healthy and green, might be the picture but all the plants look very dark green, remember u want to lay off the nitrogen in flowering, so cut down on the grow ferts.... like really cut down on em 1/4 strength if possible. other than that damn good mate :wink:

Member
no what i mean is you want to give LESS nitrogen. use less grow ferts than the bloom ferts you use. PK 13/14 is only for the last 3 weeks i think.
