First attempt at clones. Cuttings take from a plant already 2-3 weeks into flower so it took quite some time to root and get back to new vegetative growth. So Far it’s been just the soil mixture. Showing slights signs or burnt tips. Planning to feed soon with Fox farms Grow big 6-4-4 but not sure if that could make an N fox problem worse or solve a Phosphorous lockout. Started showing signs of Pistils on the Largest one This week. Largest one is 14in, smaller one is 10.5inches tall from to of soil.
When do I cut away the Single Leaf initial growth from when the cutting finally rooted and began new vegetative growth. Or do you let it just hang around ?
It will drop off naturally when it ready. You can prune it earlier but if the plant is that small I would not.
The leaves are helping it build up and grow.
The other situation for early pruning would be if the plant is so bushy its restricting airflow and becomes a vector for disease. I don't see this with you plant at all.
Good Luck!
Tested water for first time and have lowered PH to within a healthier range 6.2ph for runoff. These guys are pre flowering hard but I guess they’ve kinda been in pre-flower the whole time they’ve been growing since clipping were taken from a plant that was already a few weeks into flower.
These guys are in pre flower super hard. Went up to a 3 Gallon pot this week just in time as it was almost root bound. Could have went up a size a week or two sooner. Fed nutrients the first time this week as well. Little bit of Fox Farms Grow Big at .5ml/gal. Will feed every other watering for next 2 weeks with Fox farms Tiger blood at 1/4 recommended. This will be in prep for lights changing to 12/12 in 2 weeks when a few others catch up.
Trying to learn a little bit about the pruning and defoliation processes. I understand you wanna prune large fan leaves that block bud sites early in flower. But should I go ahead and also take these offshoot branches that formed close to the top of my main branches after LST
Hey there the way you are growing the plant right now is leave all the shoots coming from the main shoot. If the shoots coming from the the main start making shoots b4 you flip to flower I would cut them off
Just plan for when you flip to flower that you don’t cut any big fan leaves or shoots during the stretch the 1st 21days of flower (21days after you flip to flower)
The plant will go into hyper mode the 1st 21days of flower it will grow a lot so keep that in mind when you are in veg not to get the plant to big
After day 21 of flower you can look at your plants and analyze what buds are gonna get good light and witch spots won’t then you can defoliate really good at that time and cut off any lower shoots that don’t jump up and get a god amount of light
I would just keep pulling that main stem down closer to the ground slowly and let all the shoots coming off the main shoot all become main shoots and have colas on the end of each of them
Don’t stress it to much. After your 1st grow you will see how the whole life cycle goes and every time after this grow you will be a lot more prepared for what happens next
Also when the plants go into the stretch they really start to want water don’t be surprised if you have to start watering 2x as often as durring veg sometimes if the plants are in a small pot you could have to water daily or every other day
Also keep in mind after the stretch the plant will start to want less water but still more water than durring veg
Your doing a good job so far don’t stress to much just take this grow as a learning lesson
Good luck
Lots LST this week just to let some of the smaller main braches catch up. Also fed again this week. At this point I’m pushing veg a little longer to let a few smaller plants in the space get a little bigger before flower, another 5-7 days in veg then I’ll be flipping to 12/12 light schedule.
