This week I took the fan covers off my 2 tent fans as they were collecting dust and water minerals from the humidifier and then blowing them around and getting them on the leaves. Once I removed them and cleaned the fan blades everything is keeping cleaner and there is more airflow without them. The Bubba Kush is growing nicely and looks healthy. There is very little space between nodes currently and it is getting quite bushy. I am going to let 1 more node pair come out and then I am going to top it and begin LST. The plan with this is to keep it as a mother and as the lone photo in the tent while the other 3 autos finish themselves off within 3 months. I am going to keep this in veg and cut clones off it so hopefully by the time the autos finish then I will have a bunch of Bubba Kush clones already on their way in veg to speed up the process. I will then use a sea of green technique with the clones as soon as the autos are finished and out of the tent.
@XII_XII_EarlyRaver, I can get pretty much as many clones as I want provided the mother plant stays healthy, in a vegetative state and that I continue re-amending nutrients. The benefits being being potentially numerous. For one, I have limited space and only one true tent so while I am flowering out some autos I have which are almost finished I have some clones in a small nursery that will already be established in the veg stage for when the autos are harvested. I will then take the small clones and veg them a bit longer with the mother then flower that out right away skipping potentially 2 extra months of growth time waiting from seed. It just gives me a quicker turnaround and greater yield with limited space and I get the same desired pheno traits of the mother on all the clones.
if you want good terps id add some kelp meal to this feeding regime, or you can replace your rock dust with kelp meal cause kelp meal has all the nutrients in it already no rock dust needed
First week is always a hard week. But I see leaves of green. Keep up the amazing progress. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!! If you have a moment please stop by my YOU DECIDE diary and place a vote.
