Clones coming along, almost ready for the next grow. New light being delivered tomorrow and it is quite the upgrade 🔥$$$$🔥😭😂

Recloned mothers, and then grabbed more clones for the next grow and 1 mother. @widdows420 below is the auto topoff I use and how I have it setup. I ran the power cords through pvc in the barrel, only to add weight to keep the pump where I wanted it and I had a piece playing around and the pvc attaches to the res is to keep the tube higher than the topoff water so no siphon happens (yes I found out the hard way)

5 years ago

Recloned my mothers. Had them in the cloner too long so they are in a touch of shock being added to dirt with 12” roots.

5 years ago

Watered the mothers today, although they have about reached their time to pull them. I think this go around I’m gonna replant in soil and come up with my long term next round. The northern Lights plant is growing crazy good. I chopped her way back today.

5 years ago

While we are focused on the clones right now I have to say the Northern Lights is quite lively!

5 years ago

Roots are good, clones are healthy, just buying time while I sort out next steps.

5 years ago

Well the clones are THRIVING! The root growth is awesome on all the plants! Guess I really need to decide what I’m doing. As much as it would be nice to do away with the mothers and use the mother tent for veg for perpetual flower cycles, I don’t have a surplus of these expensive seeds and I still haven’t decided how much of each strain I need. I actually picked these strains specifically for their effects. Some are for night time, some are for my wife’s anxiety and depression, so I actually purposefully chose these strains (except for the sour diesel, that was a freebie and the one I never tried to grow because it’s a cheese strain). Regardless I need to figure out if I’m swapping from soil (although I have soil to use for this). Hmm guess I better decide fast! Look at these roots!

5 years ago

Had to chop a ton off these ladies to keep them out of the light. Just keeping them alive until I have my clones growing. Clones are coming along nicely as well. Starting to think through if I ditched my mothers and just started using this tent for veg. And then take clones before I transplanted. 🧐

5 years ago

Found a couple (literally 2) little gnats in the Mother tent. Kind of doubt they are causing the issues, but added some fly tape just in case. More reason to move away from soil for these mothers. Now to research coco to make sure I am prepared for that when the clones are done.

5 years ago

Took my 3 clones of Northern Lights. All the clones are looking healthy.

5 years ago

**Restarting Mothers Today** Took new clones today. The issues I have been having with the mothers, coupled with them outgrowing their tent, so I have decided to clone and reset them. Pulled enough to restart them as well as the clones I will need for the next grow in the main tent. Would like to start with slightly larger plants this time and do a much better job scrogging them. The last 3 open spot will be for the Northern Lights clones but that plant isn’t quite ready for cuttings yet. Layout...

Happy Friday Everyone! Well I have been trying to get these mothers back on track and it’s just not working. Part of me wonders if they are root bound because I didn’t keep them short. I’ll be cloning them soon to restart them. The good news...the Northern Lights plant is really looking strong! I topped her so I have my dual mains now.

5 years ago

Well I believe I have stopped the flowering of the mothers plants. Still feel I need to reclone them just to allow them more room to grow. I’ll give them another week and start them on their way with clones.

5 years ago

Mid week update After removing the entire branch that was in flower, changing them to 24/7 light, flushing with just water, and returning them to every other day watering things are looking better. There are still some bad leaves but they are less frequent. Figure several more days and things may be back to normal. The Northern Lights is doing GREAT!

5 years ago

So I’m flushing and adjusting but then I find this... Is this mother flipping to flower? Could that stress have made it flip?

5 years ago

Still dealing with the discoloration . Not sure what the issue is. They have water, have light, have nutrients, but I can’t seem to get them corrected. On a good note....I AM SUPER EXCITED TO FINALLY HAVE MY NORTHERN LIGHTS GROWING! Those that have followed this grow know what a challenge that damn Northern Lights has been

5 years ago

Midweek update. Something is off, being dirt it’s hard to tell. I have added some nutrients to the water dripping in. This yellow has me a tad concerned. I am leaning toward taking double the clones and starting my mothers over again in a bubleponics setup. Decisions decisions...feel free to offer your thoughts on their condition.

5 years ago

Time for the Friday Mother Tent Update So they were a bit nutrient deficient. Just mixed them a batch of food yesterday so they are on the mend. On a brighter note...the Northern Lights is coming right along! Will be topping her soon

5 years ago

Back from vacation. Chopped these ladies a lot before I left and they sprouted up hard in 8 days! Had some small issues with the watering system while I was away but my MIL did some small adjustments so it wouldn’t drown them.

5 years ago

Had to give these ladies another haircut this week. They are growing soooo fast. I wish I had more room to let them spread out more. I added in a BluMat drip watering system. Trying to find the right setting to keep them alive without flooding the tent.

5 years ago

It’s time for the weekly Mother’s update. I had to trim them WAY back as they hit the lights this week. I also have to admit I damn near killed them all. Yup I got sidetracked while watering and forgot to go back and never watered them and checked on them and all of them were wilted pretty bad. Quickly mixed up a batch of light nutes and some RO water and by the next day they were back to their normal selves. Just goes to show when running dirt in felt pots, more than 2-3 days without watering and bam almost dead. On a positive note, the Northern Lights is coming along nicely. Wish more light got down to it, but seeing I don’t need it for a few months it’s ok it’s growing slow right now.

5 years ago

These ladies are out of control! They definitely need to be trimmed way back again. They are encroaching on the light! And great news, my Northern Lights is finally growing! What a pain it has been getting that one started.

5 years ago

Once again it’s time for the Friday update. These ladies are getting out of control! I cut them back and they are now twice as thick and taller! Gave them a little fertilizer tonight with their water. Only watering every 2-3 days really has proved to jump start these plants. Going to have to trim them back a tad when I move the Northern Lights back in.

Time for our weekly Mother’s update and I have a surprise. So if you have been following this grow you know I have had the absolute WORST luck getting a Northern Lights mother up and running. Well I decided I would try 1 last time. I floated the seeding in a mix of H2O2 and Distilled water for 24 hours and then put it directly into the dirt. Well to my surprise a few days later the seedling broke the surface and started to grow! It still has a ways to go for it to be stable but this attempt is already 1000 times better. On another note I trimmed the hell out of these girls the other day and they seem to have loved it because they are super full, super lush, and thriving. I’m only watering them every 2-3 days (they will dry the soil out in a day) and that seems to have sparked their growth.

6 years ago

These were from last night, the Friday weekly update. They are really filling back in. Honestly I think they are even better after the clones were taken.

6 years ago

Thirsty girls are filing in nicely. Moving to once a week updates on this tent. Tune in next Friday. Same bat time, same bat channel.

6 years ago

Mothers seem to have recovered nicely from pulling clones and additional trimming.

6 years ago

Growing

6 years ago

Mothers are recovering post clone and trim.

6 years ago

Today was clone and trim day. First group photo was before and second was after. About 2 weeks till they start veg. There will be a separate grow for those. Once the mothers have stabilized post clone and the clones are ready for Veg, this grow will only see updates once a week unless something major happens. Make sure to follow the new grow that starts later today with the clones.

6 years ago

Well today was supposed to be clone day. Well I had everything setup and ready to go, only to realize I bought the wrong Clonex product. I bought the nutrients not the rooting gel🤬. I’ll stop and get that tomorrow. I did however get the new exhaust fan and filter for the mother tent. Exhaust has been redone and is much better now!

6 years ago

All is looking good to pull clones tomorrow. Exciting next next step in my first grow. Even found a solid candidate on the Strawberry Amnesia...definitely trying to root that one!

6 years ago

Clones should be happening this weekend. Started shopping for a replacement for Northern Lights since that batch of seeds refuses to take hold. May look for Granddaddy Purple hmmm. More Hydro buildout for grow room this weekend as well.

6 years ago

Getting closer. Even included a measurement pic for scale.

6 years ago

That Blue Dream...makes you want to flower that one, all that new growth every day!

6 years ago

Just found the Northern Lights seedling in the dirt not looking so good. Repositioned it in the dirt to give it sunlight. I’m very close to giving up on this batch of Northern Lights seeds. Time to browse the seed banks

6 years ago

Trimmed quite a few fan leaves tonight. Saw some good candidates for clones. Couple more days to see if I can grab more than 1 strain. Still no sign of Northern Lights. I am quickly losing hope for that strain. May just have to go another route. The Blue Dream (CBD) riots are poking through the pot, guess the roots are solid! Buildout of the hydro setup begins tomorrow! Clones this week!

6 years ago

Come on mothers, daddy needs a new set of clones!

6 years ago

Another day closer to clone day. No sign of Northern Lights yet. Added a 2nd fan to aid with air flow.

6 years ago

Nothing new, just waiting to be able to pull clones soon

6 years ago

Plants are drinking almost a gallon a day now. The Northern Lights is now in the soil (fingers crossed). The Purple Kush, Sour Diesel, and Strawberry Amnesia have now begun to really take off. Good things to come!

6 years ago

The smaller plants seem to have liked the lots of water I gave them last night. They grew significantly over night. Northern Lights is sooo close to going into the dirt.

6 years ago

Thirsty, Thirsty, Damn this Blue Dream is thirsty. Need to figure out a better way to keep her full of water. On the other hand the Northern Lights seedling is coming along. The tail is growing and a little bit of green is noticeable today. Should be ready for dirt in a day or 3.

6 years ago

This Blue Dream girl is thirsty! Drank the soil dry again! Starting to think she is gonna need a gallon a day very soon.

6 years ago

Soon to clone....

6 years ago

Thirsty girls needed lots of water today. The Blue Dream is now in full “GIVE ME ALL THE WATER” mode. The Northern Lights seedling is almost ready to join the tent.

6 years ago

Ventilation is really helping to lower temps and humidity. About ready to pull clones 👍🏼

6 years ago

Coming along nicely and got my exhaust setup to vent some of the heat and humidity. New Northern Lights seed is developing much quicker this time around.

6 years ago

Everything is moved back to its original home. The Northern Lights seed is starting to crack so fingers crossed.

6 years ago

Trimmed a few fan leaves on the Blue Dream and the others are moving right along. Work continues on the Grow Out Tent.

6 years ago

While everything else is great I have all but given up on the northern lights. I am germinating a new seed now. Let’s hope that one works. This is attempt #3 on this strain! I have also changed lighting to a 20/4 rotation.

6 years ago

Plants are doing good in their temp location. Will be moving them back tomorrow. Managed to get the 4x4x80 stood up today and will have that ready to move clones into in the coming weeks.

6 years ago

Almost convinced that the Northern Lights plant may not survive. It’s literally doing nothing... But I topped the Blue Dream in the meantime and removed some lower fan leaves while I wait for the other strains to mature so I can grab a clone or 2 off them. Got my electrical work done so now I can setup the 4’x4’ that will be run Undercurrent DWC. Building that out this weekend I hope.

6 years ago

Blue Dream is moving along! Still waiting on Northern Lights...☹️ Had to move the tent for a couple days to make room for work being done so got a couple daylight shots while moving.

6 years ago

All is well except for Northern Lights. That little guy is the little engine that could. I hope to see some positive signs soon from that one.

6 years ago

Did a little trimming on the BD of some of the lower fan leaves that aren’t getting much light. Trying to decide if I want to do any topping or training of any kind given it’s just a mother. Thinking of letting it go up marrow for space sake.

6 years ago

Northern Lights is ALIVE! The final seedling has broken the surface and I can see a green leaf (all be it a weirdly shaped one that is to that seed shell).

6 years ago

Everything is progressing nicely. Can’t believe that Northern Lights seed casing won’t fall off. The stem is growing so that’s good. Did a little cutting on lower leaves that were being damaged by touching the walls of the pot on the Blue Dream. Past week’s temp and humidity levels added. Will be adding exhaust fan and carbon filter soon as the scent is starting to come up in the tent (although can’t smell it outside yet). Temp: 84.5 Humidity: 87.6

6 years ago

Good news, the Strawberry Amnesia has survived! Yesterday I uncovered it and gently pulled the seedling up near the surface and put a thin layer of dirt on it and today we have nice green leaves on it. So glad that worked. Now only have to wait for the Northern Lights plant to crack the surface. I planted it quite shallow to avoid the issues I just had with SA.

6 years ago

Watering day 2 smaller sprouts are coming along Northern Lights is in the dirt now Strawberry Amnesia I kind of uncovered it a bit. Not sure it is gonna make it. We will see in the next 2 days. Even took a shot through my UV glasses that finally arrived.

6 years ago

Blue Dream (CBD) - Kicking Ass Purple Kush - Sprouted Sour Diesel - Sprouted Strawberry Amnesia - Nothing Yet Northern Lights - Seed Cracked should be good to plant tomorrow. All in all things are on the right track. GoPro still shooting that time lapse and got lucky enough to capture those 2 breaking the surface (kinda wish it was a close up of that...maybe next time)

6 years ago

No sign of the 3 sprouts I planted yesterday. But the Blue Dream CBD is coming along nicely!

6 years ago

Coming along nicely. 3 of the 4 seeds germinating have opened but that damn Northern Lights is being a total prick just like last time.

6 years ago

Germination under way for the other 4 pots. Decided to at least get the mothers going so as I choose strains to flower I have clone ready plants to do that. Blue Dream (CBD) making progress. After 20 hours of sitting in water in the grow tent some seeds are already opening and have plant material exposed. High hopes this time.

6 years ago

Back from a weeks vacation and my Blumat system seems to have had a runaway and drained all 5g in the first 12 hours (based on my humidity sensor data) soaking the seedlings and leaving a 5g puddle on the bottom that the soil just reabsorbed over the next week. The only one to survive was the Blue Dream (CBD) as it was dead center and close to the light allowing it to dry out faster than the others and so the seedling survived. Time to germinate another batch of the other ones. May only do 3 others as my plans for the 4x4 have changed.

6 years ago

Seeds have been placed in dirt

Northern Lights has barely opened.
