3 clones

Womp_Womp Started everything off by picking up 3 clones from a buddy and made a clone of each. I ordered a 3x3x6 spider farmer tent and a SF 2000 LED. In the meantime the ladies will hangout by the window. After cloning I started some LST to make an even canopy. Each original clone takes about 1 liter tap everyday or two with 25% run off and the babies have been getting ten spray bottle pumps of water at their base and about 4 pumps on top everyday. Ph usually stays @ 6.5. Fox farm nutrients came in on the 5th day after bringing the girls home and the grow tent comes tomorrow. I also ordered a Spiderfarmer SF 1000 which I haven’t decided if I’m going to squeeze in the tent or just make a separate set up. Pretty sure I’m doing another set up. Currently the set up I have has a 3 inch fan pulling air out the top and 12 inch fan faced directly at the girls. It’s 2.5’x2x4 I mixed up 4 Liters of tap with a half dose of Foxfarm Big Bloom and Grow Big nutrients. Each big girl got 1.25 liters and the babies shared the rest. Ph was @ 6.2 Umm… this is also my first grow after years of watching others grow I’ve finally found myself in a good spot to give it a try.

Womp_Womp Day one of week two. The tent and the second light came in, so I went on and set em up. I also ordered 5 three gallon bags a few days before which I forgot about but still can’t use em till the fox farm soil (happy frog) comes in. It’s been surprisingly cold the last day or two and the baby clones didn’t like it so it seems they’re in a emo mood. Day 2 I transplanted the girls into the soil and it couldn’t have been a better time. The roots were running out of room. Did some light defoliation to the sweet thunder to get rid of the umbrellas covering the new nodes. Day 4 and the babies didn’t make it, since then I purchased a heater to better control temperature. So far the sweet thunder seems to be the best in the bunch but the daily grape is starting to fill out nicely and the pink z exploded with new growth. I also ordered some Barney’s Farm seeds. Hopefully they come soon so I can put the SF1000 led to work because I don’t think I’m using it to it’s full potential in the tent with the big one. Day 5 and I noticed a nat problem so I put up 2 sticky strips to help. Hopefully I can find some spray to get rid of em. I also moved the sf1000 into a better position to get the max ppfd. Right now I I get 1300+ anywhere in the canopy. I also constructed a 4 inch inline fan out of dollar tree 4’’ fan and cardboard, I put it at the top of the tent to exhaust heat. Now the tent sits at 73.5f consistently.

Womp_Womp Trying to keep the pots dry but the girls are thirsty. The nats have been put in their place and I’ve seemed to learn a new respect for watering but mostly spraying. I had a bad habit of making a mini rain shower (playing god) with a spray bottle and it backfired. The girls love 1.75 liters of water with fox farm nutrients with NO run off. Ph is 6.5 and the temp stays at 78.8 consistently. Some light defoliation to the plants that produced umbrellas to baby nodes that were begging for light and opening the opportunity for better airflow. Currently I have the SF 2000 LED and the SF1000 in the 3x3 Spider Farmer tent. The ppfd seems to be at 1300+ anywhere in the canopy, plus I switched to 24/0 light schedule. I can definitely see the response to that by the girls. Everyday I’m greeted with bright lime green growth that tells how much it grew. Wonderful. Day 3 Week 3, I did some heavy defoliation and the girls let me see what the future holds. Many nodes everywhere!! The new airflow has seemed to put a little skip in their step. Day 4 week 3 The seeds finally came from Barney’s Farm. Thanks for checking out my garden. Womp_Womp :)

Womp_Womp Some light defoliation but massive growth from these girls this week. I did some lollipoping to make the girls focus on their main nodes and i introduced a new secret weapon this week. Guppies! Their aquatic fish matter mixed with the waste produces a ton of microorganisms that feed off of each other that produce a mini ecosystem within the fish ecosystem creating a ph of 6.5 but it makes a huge amount of nitrogen that’s needed in the vegetive stage. It’s going to help space out the fox farm nutrients so I don’t have to use so mush. Basically it’s free nutrients! How wonderful. Womp_Womp So the girls are spreading out and it forced me to reorganize the tent and finally kick out the other plants. Now it’s just the 3. I planned to do some light defoliation but my scissors had other plans, after seeing the girls and their maturity I had to remove some nodes that were taking up space in the lower canopy that were basically just wasting some of the girls potential. I’m thinking I’ll give them a day b4 switching to 12/12.

Womp_Womp I think we’re two days into week five and all the girls are definitely in flower. The stretch is nice and they are definitely thirsty. I switched to 3 liters every two days and that seems to be enough. Ph is at 6.0 with the fish water and honestly I cut back a lot on the fox farm nutrients. They’ve been used once this week.
