My 1st try

@BucketBrigade, Do it man!! I am all for experimenting and learning! At least you might get a few buds off her!! 😍

@BucketBrigade, I'll be curious to see this one! Let me know if you create the diary for it, would love to follow the experiment.

@Dunk_Junk, I think you are correct, but think of it as an experiment. I'll post some photos next week to see what happens to these clones. But everything I have read states the same as you. But I never saw someone try. Keeps me busy until I can sprout the next seed.😀

@BucketBrigade, Goodness, I hate to hear that brother. Both for her and the toe ! And you have to travel :( I sympathize with your disappointment and hope you get right back in the saddle !

@BucketBrigade, did she snap all the way? I mean the trunk was completely separated root and top? I have broke many stem before and as long its not completely broke you can still save it

@BucketBrigade, Damn, bad deal for the plant and your toe. Good luck with your next grow!

@BucketBrigade, amen to that lol

@dahoola,Thanks!

@BucketBrigade, she seem to be very branchy once you defoliate light should be able to reach the lower bud sites. I think that will give you better yield. Buds develops when they get light and wind on them. Your plant is very tall maybe you can try to tie down a few branches so the footprint of your light get more even on the canopy

@Lou_Grows, I've got fast growing branches from the base of the plant. They have flowers, but smaller than all the others. Should I prune these branches? Will pruning these help the bigger flowers near the top grow faster?

@BucketBrigade, what I do is measure from the top of the bucket all the way to the top of your tallest cola and keep doing that until you see the stretch stoped. How long of a flowering stage your plant has? Being sativa she might keep stretching for a couple more weeks.

@Coopman, I'm still trying to figure out why my plant looks so different. I can't find any photos of this strain being so large. A genetic mutant? Mostly water is really the way to go. She is much happier.

@BucketBrigade, I flushed my nutrients out too. Have been only water for the past couple days and my plant looks much better now. I’ll be doing mostly water for now on.

@Coopman, I switched out the nutes for flowering per instructions provided by GH. The next day she clawed badly. I drainied half the nutes and topped her off with water. The last 8 photos are the day after. She seems to have recovered, but has some more recovery to go. I think from now on, it's going to be half strength.

@PussyWagon6969, The 8 new photos are post water top off, a day later. Seems to have recovered with the half strength nutes. You can see the bleached tips from being too close to the light.

@BucketBrigade, not sure if the pictures are post water top-off but she seems healthy. Hats off to you going hydro, I got enough anxiety growing out of soil lol

@PussyWagon6969, Thanks so much! That said, I'm afraid I over fed her this week.. Last night I drained half the solution and topped her off with water. I think she is recovering. I'm still worried that she no longer has that wonderful strong pungent odor. Hopefully it will come back.

@BucketBrigade, This is so true as I went away for the weekend and found a clothes drying rack fell on my bubba kush. She recovered quickly except for one wilted branch, which I soaked in water 2 days, then cloned.

@VT420, I think it's important to remember this is a weed. They are very hard to kill and they survive in tough conditions out in the wild. They are used to low nutes and rough treatment. I assume they can handle more than non-weed type plants. They can deal with a lot. I find myself wondering if they are like grape vines used for making wine...the best grapes are produced by vines that suffer the most. When it's a good year for a wine, that same year was extra tough for the vine that produced those grapes. 😊

@BucketBrigade, mine did however go through a pretty big stretch the second to 3rd week of flower. Any new growth that occurred I tied down

@Coopman, So hopefully she won't grow much taller, but flowers will grow in to fill in the cola. Thanks very much for that answer! I'm going to train the next one. I can see where it would be helpful.

@iDontEvenGrow, I just posted a photo that shows the LED lights up above. Half the COB LEDs are visible from this view.

@iDontEvenGrow, So you switched from one bulb type to another?

@BucketBrigade, you're welcome ;) Patience is something you should develop :) good things take time ;)

@bobo420, Thanks very much. One of those early leaves looks a little malformed, but all the new leaves seem to look perfect. I'm hopeful for a good outcome and very impatient about it!

@VT420, Yes, the plant in these photos snapped in half. I should have tried to repair with tape or something, but at the time I thought I had no options. So my second grow actually consists of two clones from the original monster plant. Everyone is telling me and all over the web it's being stated that you can't clone an autoflower in flower, but it's starting to look like thats bad advice. When you get the chance, have a look. I'm hopeful they will make it to harvest!

@Dunk_Junk, Thanks so much for the good feedback. Looking forward to a harvest!

@Coopman, I'm looking at your colas and wondering. Do they start at the end of the branch and grow upward (flower on top of flower), or do the flowers fill in all the empty space on the branch between nodes? I'm a little concerned about the height and growth of the plant and how those colas will fully form.

@iDontEvenGrow, Thanks so much for the encouraging words! So far, I have (what I think are a lot of roots) and so far no air tube crimping. I figured I either needed to drill a hole for the air tube or simply place it under the lid which made it sit unevenly, but this seemed like the most practical path forward.

@Lou_Grows, Thank you!. I've been using the armor si for a little over a week now. I honestly can't tell. However, I'm also growing Basil, Cilantro and Kale to which I've added the Armor SI to as well. I saw a video where someone added it to their basil and it made a big difference in how the plant carried itself and grew. One plant had it and the other didn't. The difference was very substantial in how it held itself up. So hopefully the same for the girl. I wish I was growing a second without it so I could see the difference. The one downside is it's a strong base. It took much more acid to get the water into the proper PH level.

@@MichaelMo, I measure the PH each day. However, your plants are still at the seedling stage and won't require much right now. If I would have not adjusted my plant's height, I have not had to adjust the PH or add water at all. My plant is just getting to the point where it will become important to check daily. Also, A large bucket does provide more stable nutrient solution since the liquid or nutrient levels don't change so rapidly. I grow Kale in a 2 gal bucket. Once it gets about this size, I'm adding water every 2 days and then as it gets larger, up to 2 cups per day! I add the water 1st, and then check the PH after letting the plant sit for 10 mins or so before measuring the PH to make sure the new water has mixed well with the existing and the PH level has stabilized. I leave the bubbles on 24 hours a day. In addition to splashing and adding oxygen, it helps mix the liquids rapidly. If you need to add water, add it 1st and then measure PH. Also, my tap water is very basic, so I have another 5 gal bucket that I have tap water added where I let it sit for a few days to eliminate the chlorine and I also pre-adjust to eliminate the high base. This makes sure I have de-clorinated water that doesn't raise the PH always ready and available and at the same temp since it's in the same room.

@Lou_Grows, It's a 5 gal black bucket. I'm actually considering how to make it 10 gals as I travel alot and I worry if I'm out for a week, how can I keep the liquid within PH while I'm away and the water level in the right range. Actually considering joining 2 5 gal buckets to make sure it has plenty of reserve or moving to a 10 gal tote with a single growpot on the lid.
