F10 - starting to stretch like mad - going to defoliate again soon - canopy is completely full
F12 - Worried the mechanical timer i'm using (it's new) isn't working properly. It's set to turn on at 8am, off at 8pm. The last couple nights i happened to be working in the cabinet until about 9 before i realised the lights hadn't shut off yet... so i checked the timer, and one of the pegs was slightly depressed, and as soon as i touched the timer the lights turned off... i'm thinking there's something stuck, or not moving smoothly, getting caught on a pin without actually triggering it. Buds haven't started forming yet either, so i'm worried this has been going on for longer than i think... fakkkk. time to test the timer.
--- I was right, timer was broken. I only noticed on day 10 of 12/12, so i guess flower officially only started then. fak.
My biggest struggle has always been cutting clones, ive polinated and feminized my own pollen and seeds but never could i come close to a successful clone. Youve got a great cab and talent my friend
@H0B0, I usually take clones from any branch that looks established - meaning, if it has 2-3 nodes on it, and is about 5-8 inches long, it's good to go. I've taken clones from topping, from the bottom of the plant (undergrowth), side branches, etc... all of them have worked for me. You might get slightly different results (faster/slower rooting) depending on where you take them from, but overall they should root regardless.
If you look at the week 1 pics of my diaries, you'll see roughly how big the clones were when i cut them. Some have been pretty small too, and still worked.
@thephalanx420, i got all the material and got a aeroponic cloner given to me but its more the action of how and whem to take clones, like how do i know when is right or when is ready or am i cutting the right branch or because i dont top it or fim it will i never be able to take a clone cause theres only one main cola?
@H0B0, make a bubble cloner. I just cut branches, trim the leaves a bit so they aren't bulky and huge, stick the stem in aerated water (air pump and airstones), and a humidity dome over them. you might have to add a tiny bit more water at some point, but i've never had a clone that didn't root within 10-15 days.
Loving your custom cloner setup. Can't tell you how much money I've spent only to go back to the basics..... a bucket and a pump :D
Keep on keeping on friend :D
Bud looks very tasty and that cabinet is amazing really well done. May have to steal a few ideas from you when I next tweak my wardrobe setup between harvests, kinda just threw mine together but definitely gonna look to install some proper vents like how you have it. Enjoy the fruits of your labour, well earnt!
looking beautiful! I just looked through this diary and your others for this strain after looking at it on oaseeds, I would really like to grow this strain in the near future. Good luck with your harvest!
