so here is what's happening under the foam puck...











notes:
12"
start 915 / 6.2
end 800 / 5.5

easy enough to push them a little deeper

3 total to play with so I'll push that one deeper and leave the other two alone
& see what happens

like I said though, regardless of what is happening down there, the top side is strong and healthy

thanks for the input

well, my mind has been blown again...

aeroponic clones 5 days after being cut (5 days!!)
3 for 3



C-1







C-2





C-3







the roots are popping right @ the node I stripped of leafs and slathered in Clone-x

all I have is about 1.5ml of root-booster in 1 gal water and a tank heater @ 75F

I think IC wants her space back...








I think she NEEDS it!









--------------------------------


such a shame this will not be able to grow and thrive







but I'm quite sure it would survive
which was the whole point to this

.

wow, its been a whole week (7 days) without a post / update

no pictures for now, nothing good to look @... some bad though

IC is out growing my VEG area FAST!! she's already taller than BS-1 was when I swapped her over to flower
unfortunately, BS-1 is only on day 42 so I just can't yank her out yet

another unfortunate thing is 3 or so days ago while I was trying to LST IC to keep the leafs off the bulbs, I broke one of the two main stems (right @ the TOP / split / crotch)
it didn't fall-off completely but fell over "hinged" with little more than the outer skin still attached
I twist-tied the two stems "together" to support the broken stem so everything was held back in normal (pre-break) position.

I've, since, LSTed every stem OTHER than the broken one so it should be getting the "dominant" hormone and hopefully repairing the break ASAP

.

iv used that exact same cloner bucket, it works great and roots in at least 10-14 days, ALTHOUGH i have since started using the bucket to bubble water/nutes as iv gotten my rooting time from 10-14 days down to 5-7 days with rapid rooters, a humidity dome/tray and some rooting powder from my local home depot... its 0 noise and awesome rooting times. thats one of the reasons i gave up on the bucket, its just noisey and i didnt see a big enough increase in rooting or rooting time, if i let my rapid rooter clones go for 10-14 days like i did with the bucket they have a cluster cluck of roots blasting out of almost every inch of the rapid rooters, in my opinion its far more roots then with the cloner bucket so i switched methods. just remember although there is a huge supply of "new technology" out there sometimes the simplest method is the best... try a few different cloning methods to see what works best for you.

.


Nothing major to report/document, still beating the schmitt out of this lil girl till BS-1 is done.

It's difficult, going from a super pampered "perfect" only-child to the "red-headed stepchild"






.

she will come back and you will be stoked for it!!

.


let's call it an April FooL's fLiP








its already taller than BS-1 was @ chop!!!

I'm going to have to do some heavy surgery in a few days (pick clones too)

still deciding if I want to let it go like BS-1 or pick 4-6 sights and give them some space





.

green mojo

looks like a good first week huh?

perspective: canopy is @ about 28.5" (tallest in the back by about 3/4")

14 days





2/1/14

.

25 days:





2nd generation:
good-2-go

looking killer !!

.

trying a different approach to the canopy this time...

hard to see in FLAT digi-photo but a LOT has been removed !!

I'm now getting strong, direct light 4-6 inches deeper
with 25-30 days still to go, I think it could have a huge effect

.


it feels like I'm cheating somehow LOL

edit
the leaf is "thumb to pinkie-tip" = 11"
and not held up by fan or the air flow

Thinned out a little more.

It's only day 37...

White Siberian is a vigorous, medium to high sized, Indica-Sativa hybrid with a very good indoor harvest. Extremely resistant outdoors, it's mature, with flowering completed, in 65 days –outdoors in October. -DinaFem

I'm thinking I'll take her down to "just buds" for the last 10+

I'm flattered...

when someone like Arnold Palmer compliments your golf swing it means soooo much more than the guy next to you @ the driving range.

4U2 your words carry much weight and experience behind them.

Why are you pulling the leaves might I ask? I though they were the solar panels for the flowers per say? Just wondering out loud ?..

.

this picture:



made it quite obvious how deep the LED can get with a FULL canopy in MY set-up. (not very)
NOTE: this was the bag-seed plant and the leafs were easily twice as thick as IC's IDK if that's sativa VS indica or what but its VERY obvious

I thought to myself in a natural out-door or "normal" grow room setting, the plant would not be all squished together and each stem could get light but NOT with my setup. What good are all those leafs doing 3rd and 4th layer down? not much.... what can I change?

My plan was: I'll let the canopy fill in for the first 30 and then take a layer off the top each week... but I got a little cut-happy and have gone down to all but the last 1.5 layers of leafs already.

as this is my 2nd grow ever... IDK :P just trying different stuff, maybe I help, maybe I hurt IDK yet

Seems there will be a trick to this type of grow per say.. Not so much a trick but more of a style that creates many tops at an even canopy or maybe some netting or staking that would pull open to help with penetration...
My two cents anyhow....
I'm super interested in the LED thing just looking in and wondering out loud.....
