Hello everyone. Just tagging you all on my 2nd grow. Ill be mainlining one of the clones from my previous grow basically following what I gleamed from arrow’s labor of love thread.
It looks like the winner of the clone wars will be the tall girl. She matured the fastest, has the most trichomes and has the most “blueberryish” smell of the first crop. I would of loved to carry on a clone of the variegated plant that smelled like straight lemon juice and kerosene but I don’t have a surviving clone or the infrastructure currently to carry a 4 plant crop indefinitely. At least not enough to make revegging a clone off that plant this close to harvest worth it.
I also discovered what I thought was a cal mag issue cleared right up when I transferred that clone into fresh ocean forest so this time I’m gonna try to press the nutrients a little harder and see what she can do.
This crop will consist of 2 plants. 1 mainlined clone destined for harvest and one mother that I will attempt to keep alive using methods from hellraisers various threads. They will both be in 3 gallon pots and kept under an HLG 100 in a crowded closet for approximately the next 4ish weeks when my 4x4 becomes available. I have about 5 weeks until the FFOF runs out of native nutrients so I may run jacks 321 by that point or just keep going with the floranova series.
The next mother assuming she survives the transplant and the amount of time I kept her in a solo cup. I’m confident she will. This plant seems to love ocean forest.
@Arrow I’ll try to get some better pictures later but my mainlined plant is starting to open up it’s 3rd node from the first topping location. How long do you normally wait to top the 2nd time and do you top all the way back down to the node directly after the first topping? Also, probably due to the cloning process and the conditions it started out under, the branches are slightly offset from each other and some leaves are underdeveloped compared to their partner leaf because they start further up the branch. Is this a bad thing? I’m kinda hoping by tying it down I can kind of balance out the growth.
When you mainline you create a big T or Y depending on whose methods you want to follow. I prefer to do a Nebula, its easier, faster and gives the same results as a Nugbucket. If you do a 8 cola mainline, you remove node set 1 and 3 and top after 4 on each of your two branches, meaning you grow 2 and 4 only…are you feeling a bit dazed…OK… You need to stiffen up your pot or put a ring inside it to use as anchor for your wires. Get your mainline as horizontal as possible and lose those big fans, they are covering the growth points.( I prefer keeping my leaves, but that’s for another grow) I would urge you to have a look at my thread for more details than what I can outlay here right now…I’m tagging a brother in here whom I believe can assist and know my mad better, concerning mainlining… @beardless, and brother @kdawg is also going down this rabbit hole…
It’s getting crowned down here. The more the merrier - right, Off to see our 91 and 94 year old mothers. The fight in these old birds is unreal. The depression, WWII brides, Korea etc sets them apart.
@seandog you can use their website or amazon. You need Part A, Part B and Epsom Salt for the 321 Formula. You can also add Silica, which gets added before the Jack’s. I use General Hydroponics Silica
