I would like to introduce, Stella’s Duo. They are both clones that I took from my largest plant, Stella. Their mother is a plant currently in its 10th week, grown from a seed. She is a cultivar by T.H. Seeds called DarkStar. The Duo are the 5th and 6th clones I’ve gotten to root from her. I actually had another root, but I gave her to a friend of mine who’s only grown auto-periods to date.
I am planning on keeping both of these lovely ladies small, and will flip them as soon as they are ready.
They have been sitting in solo cups for nearly 2 weeks, which is why I’m starting this diary off at week 2. They were both transplanted into their final homes today, and planted in 3 gallon pots filled with Fox Farms Ocean Forest potting soil.
They both received half a gallon of water mixed with the following nutrients. They started at the Early Growth step 1:
CALiMAGic - 2 ml
FloraMicro - 3.8 ml
FloraGro - 5.7 ml
FloraBloom - 2.8 ml
Floralicious Plus - 1 ml
The pH was 6.3 and not adjusted. Their runoff was sufficient, and the pH was as follows:
#1 - 5.7
#2 - 5.8
The tent temperature was 81F, and humidity was 66%.
Happy growing everyone.

Stella’s Duo are doing well. They seem to be enjoying the small tent all to themselves since the others were moved to the flowering tent.
Not a lot to say about them today, since it’s only been a couple days since they were transplanted to their larger pots and given room to grow.
Each of them received half a gallon of water mixed with same level of nutrients as the other day. I’m not going to list them individually here again. Just look at the previous note to see the quantities.
The initial pH of the solution was 6.5, and wasn’t adjusted.
Runoff was more than sufficient for each plant. The runoff pH was as follows:
#1 - 5.7
#2 - 5.5
The tent was 86F, and the humidity was 37% when I put them back into the tent. I forgot to see what it was when I first opened the tent and took them out. They had been at or near 60% humidity for the past couple of days. 🤷 I guess I’ll need to pay better attention in the future.
Happy growing everyone!

I skipped 2 days between feedings, and my Duo are doing just fine! In fact, #1 has grown 5 inches, and #2 has grown 5.5 inches since the first entry on 6/18/22. #1 is now 12 inches tall, and #2 is 11.5. The lights were adjusted to 13 inches above.
I’m still giving them the early growth stage of nutrients, but because of their rapid growth, I may start to just them ahead a bit.
I already have 1 DarkStar plant (Stella, their mother) that is 50 inches tall measured from a branch that was bent over sideways 2 weeks ago. I also have Stella’s Cuatro flowering now, and they range from 24 to 30 inches tall. I do not want 2 more ginormous plants, so I may flip them very soon and just have everything flowering at once.
Time will tell. I’ll make the decision next week on whether to start them flowering or not.
Today both of the Duo received 1/2 gallon of water mixed with the following:
CALiMAGic - 2 ml
FloraMicro - 3.8 ml
FloraGro - 5.7 ml
FloraBloom - 2.8 ml
Floralicious Plus - 1 ml
The pH was 6.5 and was not adjusted. Each of them had plenty of runoff as well.
Both had a runoff pH of 5.8. The tent temperature was 82F, with humidity at 45%.
The Duo are doing wonderful, and I hope all of your plants are too.
Happy growing everyone!
