EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS: (for now....more lights on the way*** x2 26 watt cfls small desktop fan flatt matt white cupboard soil pots *thats it for now as this was a spontanious thing for me to do and was not prepared but im getting there they are coming along well. Day 8: was given the two clones last week *they were pre planted for 1 week *one of them is weaker than the other due to exposed roots *recieved soil medium today and have resolved root issue by sprinkling more soil over them and raising weaker clone closer to light. *the lights are around 3 inches from the tops *one is around 5-7inches and showing new growth/the other is weak and droopy/stunted, around 3-5inch. *they have been properly watered 'once' since ive had them, waited for soil to dry completley before watering as they were wet upon delivery. *I have the two small CFLS on 24'7 as I guess theyll need as much as possible. NOTE..got some good looking bag seeds today ****BONUS**** anyway thats it for this week i guees they seem ok just need to bring life back into little fella, there nice and moist under them lights now so gonna kick back and chill with some 'Desert bud'.......Pics in tommorow. peace out .
So its been a month Ive been away and left the babies to my friends to look after and they have done wel to my suprise. I have a few pictures from when i left to what they are now ill get them up asap. I heard there Had been a few problems and they are still goin through some stress now. *Summary.* There is now a 200watt floura light above my 2 wonderful looking clones and they have been repotted with fresh multi purp compost organic I have 6 new seedlings well that are 3 weeks old now looking good. 1 is getting L.S.T (low stress trainned) for those who dont know what that is. Its tieing the plants down to keep them short. Its just a experiment. for 1 week 2 of the new seedlings are planted in one pot (for another expeiment) and one has been 'Topped' 3 days ago weel see how they turn out in a few weeks! lol The 2 clones are both nearly 2 feet tall and 2month old from being cut from mother. they are all still in vegging 24 hours light. so the problems were that of hygiene and pests the clones and seedlings/youngsters have been attacked by tiny little black insects that just look like little pieces of soil to the untrainned eye they have left a few brown spots on the leaves. my friend and I went to the store yesterday and purchased some organic pestcide that you spray and mist the plants with. we quarntiened them in the bath tub and then got to work on the grow area. New flooring, sealed cracks, gaps and hole in walls and board, repainted aired out and disinfected the whole space while the plants suffered in silence dowsed in poison. when finished I placed the green back and hoped for the best over night. I must say its looking clean and like a half decent grow room now. note* posted in 'Sick plants and problems' section on this site for help and advice on how I can deal with my mites ... i think thats what they are just at early stages but there must be eggs layed by the buggers and there is a few remaining hard ones left fom the rinse last night. :O Ill get it sorted anyway just a bit of advice or alternate action to what i have dne already would be good huh. TO DO****** I will get pics up tommorow. a.s.a.p get some advice on how to deal with the remaining mites and post info here. Mist with water occansionaly to keep them at bay turn up fan to agitate em pesky little bastards. Repot x2 younsters in bigger pots when mite problem has gone. purchase neem oil for future infestations. clean grow room more often. STOP CREEPIES coming in through window, doors OR On shoes , hair and clothes.....PETS ARE BIG NO NO IN GROW ROOM ME THINKS.....
