[Cannada]

Thanks @Cannada, same to you! They're starting to grow at a decent pace now so I'm looking forward to flipping at the end of the month ??

Can't wait to see them in full bloom. They certainly look to be quite content. It's so rewarding to watch all your hard work and patience paying off not to mention the anticipation of what they may be become from your own creation. Almost like parenting but with less cost and consequence when you f**k up ???

looking all good this grow is going to be a good one to see right to the end ??

Great looking plants @Sunshine??? , How old are the plants right now? Some of the leaves? are already so frosty, can't wait to see them when they are fully grown. Are all these strains bred by you?

 

[Sunshine]

Thanks guys The plants are about 5 weeks old, the frosty ones are the clones that were taken in flower and are now reverting to vegetative growth
The Fruit Wreck,Fruit Train and the Skunk #1 IBL are mine ??

Lovin it @Sunshine

 

[Sunshine]

Thanks all, here they are vegging away ??
I'm going to have to do some heavy handed supercropping and pinching on the skunks to stop them from taking over ?

@Sunshine cool! So your last train wreck fruit bowl cuts. You took these are from them? Or these are different? I bet when your buds are fully dry and cured a are going to kick your taste buds with amazing flavor.

 

[Sunshine]

These are different phenos from the 4 clones in the last run (the mango pheno), there were two seed plants in that run and these are the cuts from those. One is the "Fruit Train" pheno which tastes and smells intensely fruity (fruit bowl leaning) with a train wreck finish and the other is the "Big" Fruit Wreck pheno which produces large colas and has excellent trichome production. The BFW was the bud in the centre of the last grow that got the largest with very little veg time ?

Mmm. My mouth is watering just thinking of those fruity strains! Can't wait to try some out! Couple weeks to flower time? ???

Sunshine what do you mean flipping is that a new term of cannabis language ,View attachment 6199

Flipping means switching to flowering

 

[420StonerDad]

Also Flipping used to be used as a term as such, " Hey Brah, He just flipped you the Bird!!"

 

[Sunshine]

Some update pics taken yesterday evening ? The Fruit Train reveg is coming back which is good news, everything else now shooting out. I'll let the pots get quite dry over the next few days then soak them with a nice compost tea

 

[Jcloud777]

One day I wish I could clone. I normally always failed. Only one time had a successful clone going but a little bit of sunlight stressed it out big times.

 

[Sunshine]

They're almost ready for a good soaking ?

 

[CrimemasterGoGo]

Plants are Looking great sunshine ! they've become so bushy in such a short span of time.

 

[Sunshine]

Thanks @CrimemasterGoGo Sometimes it really helps them along to let them dry right out and let the roots search out the moisture, after the soaking I give them tomorrow they're really going to start to take off ??

 

[420StonerDad]

Looking good @Sunshine

@Sunshine how much root development from the clones you need before letting them dry out? 4 days of growth very cool

@Sunshine how much root development from the clones you need before letting them dry out? 4 days of growth very cool

The clones were/are still quite small and in large containers (5 gal) so for them it was particularly important to have a decent dry cycle as there's plenty of soil to explore with their little roots so no real danger of them getting too dry. Also my temps are slightly on the lower side of optimal, another factor influencing the decision to run them slightly dryer. Cold + wet + small = bad times.
The clones were rooted in water first, then rooted in soil in cups before being transplanted, not because this is my preferred method more because of the current situation. I prefer to plant directly into the final container where possible.
Once a clone is established and has a good root system you can read the plant and gauge it, treat them mean keep them green is what I say, growing a strong root system pays dividends when going into flower ?
