Orange Sherbert FF Clones

leithsffs These little ones were never meant to be. At least, I didn't mean to start them when I was defoliatting and topping the other plants. The fact they are still alive means the plant gods had a plan for them all along. I didn't plan on starting clones. So, I had these 2.5 inch (6cm) apical cuts sitting on the table for at least 30 minutes. When I took a good look at them, I decided they looked like they might be a good experiment (I love to experiment). Step 1: cleaned up the little bit of lower foliage and clipped the leaves short. Step 2: soak them in a glass of bottled water i had been sipping on for 5 minutes. Step 3: dip them in some cloning powder I had sitting around for the last 4 years that had been purchased for cloning my tomato plants. Step 4: put them in a 4 inch pot with Fox Farms Happy Frog soil and keep the dome on. Step 5: put them on a heating mat for 1 week because the air temperature outside gets a little too low. Well, it worked, the two clones I pushed the soil down on to rooted well. The other two, didn't fair so well. This will make a nice little unexpected crop considering so many things I didn't do just right. Wish me luck!

leithsffs Nothing but a little Cal Mag in their water this week. As soon as they fill out the trellis, these girls are getting flipped. I'm hoping for 3 weeks out.

leithsffs No extra nutrients this week. I little CalMag in the water is all they get. I'm slowly flipping them to flower. Wednesday and Saturday, I take off 2 hours of light. I'm trying not to shock them into herming out on me. They're ready to flip since they've getting close to filling out the net. No worries on the yield on these little ladies as they're bonus babies. Have a great week!

leithsffs Sorry, I missed last week. It was an extra long work week. As you can see, the girls were flipped. It was August 1st. Flower nutrients were started about a week beforehand. The stretching, right off the bat, took me by surprise at how fast it went. It should only last for about another week or so if it follows like the mothers in the other tent.

leithsffs A little leaf pulling this week. No new nutrients. Had a small issue with some gnats. Pretty sure they're gone. Hoping for the best.

leithsffs I'm having to play catch up with this grow. So, I'll post again tomorrow to try and make the weeks correct.

leithsffs I defoliated a lot of the under canopy today so I could move the scrog net upwards. These girls just had to stretch and stretch their legs. And, yes, the smell on my fingers after handling them was intensely citrus. I only gave them a little water this week as the air has been very moist and the soil has been damp enough.

leithsffs Trying to play catch up on the weeks

leithsffs Next week is the harvest. Just trying to play catch up on the posting

leithsffs Sweet sweet smells! I wish I could say everything went perfect. Unfortunately, I found caterpillars on some of the buds. I tossed about 20% of the buds. Not too big of a loss considering how bad I've seen some other grows. And, I have no idea how they got inside the tent. Perhaps one came in when I was tending the outside garden. I don't know. Live and learn to keep a closer eye on things. As always, I'll post the trim weights when I get there.
