I just set up a small veg tent and adopted some children!
The girls' Bedroom:

Romulan Clone

Swampy's Free Leonard Clone, Re-Vegging

[cjorden]

i feel pretty, oh so pretty..................

[AbsoluteRoyal]

nice pots, there on my cool things to buy list

[1337Gr33n]

Thanks, from what i have heard, they will be worth it.

[Wired4Success]

Yup, nice air pots. I keep my mums in in them pots. Except I cut em down and make real small ones. (about the size of a 20oz.)

So one of my girls has started to show some sickness. It has been above 80 (usaually 83-86) in their tent. but only the one clone/mom-to-be (or not?) is acting sickly. They did experience thrips right before i got them. But the person that adopted them to me treated them (successfully it appeared) with tobacco juice. I hit them with a lil azamax a few days later, just to be certain. two days after that is when i watered them with the Nutes. (i stupidly went full strength with the nutes- one teaspoon of the age old grow for a gallon of water.) The water is soft city water that has sat out uncapped for over 24 hours to evaporate the chlorine in it from the city.) below are the pics of the Sickly Swampy's Free Leonard plant. the final pic is the one of the healthy sister in the same room with the same feeding, soil, water, light and temp. Any ideas what is going on with my baby?

[1337Gr33n]

All of the plants in the veg tent are under a 30,000 Lumens T5 - 6 Bulb. any and all ideas are welcome.

Probably just give that one straight water for a week and see if the new growth is good. The rest of them look good! The Air Pots might let you use less nutes because the roots are able to get it better with the fibrous mat they get.

[1337Gr33n]

Thanks Mezz! I just went to the store and picked up some RO water. I will give her only that for the week.

[1337Gr33n]

thanks to cjorden too! He let me know that my fan set up wasn't exhausting all that well, and how to fix it! I that will also go quite a ways in helping this lil gal out. Darn this heat return!

[cjorden]

no prob, bro. and just think : the fun is only just beginning!

cya soon

I have just given my sickly swampy girl RO water for a week. She is feeling much better now. Greening up, getting new growth, but not stretching to high. Her sister is stretching a tad, but not a ton. Their Romulan friends are stretching like crazy though! I am going to have to top them or something before i put them in to flower next week, because they act like they want to be 10 feet tall! Their lil baby Cheese friend is doing quite well too. She is growing like, well, weed!

Nice job on the Free Leonard. There is an indica and a sativa pheno of Romulan and I think you have the sativa one.

[1337Gr33n]

it looks and acts like a sativa! thin leaves and real stretchy. they filling in nice, though.

[1337Gr33n]

I haven't followed up with this. But my growth has been explosive! I am using Age Old Grow and Age Old Kelp for Nutes. My sickly Swampy's Free Leonard is much healthier now. But, she is definitely showing herself to be a runt in comparison with her sister. I will be putting the formerly sick one in to flower, and make the great plant the mom.
Here is the sickly one:


Here is her sister, AKA "Double Wide" (she really is twice as wide as she is tall!


Here is the overall pisture of the room. Here you can see The Cheese baby up front, and the super tall Romulans in the middle.


I made some cuttings from the plants last night. But they are awfully droopy. i think they are camera shy!

lookin good! leonard looks like a coupla monsters. and your clones may look 'wilty', but give them a few days, they should perk up.

[kindbuds]

Hey Leet thought you might find this chart useful to take some questions about defeciencies out, looks good tho and I really want a free leonard clone if trading is a option. http://media.photobu...iciencylist.jpg

It's Flowerin' Time!


I have put the runty Swampy's Free Leonard into the Flower tent, along with one of the Romulans (the one with nodes a bit further apart), and a new addition, Bubblegum!
I have run in to some headaches along the way. I will end up calling them "learning opportunities" in time, i am sure. The first one is the new Bubble gum has nodes that look vastly different than the other plants i have. Being a noob grower, i immediately got paranoid that i may have hermed it already. Pics below are of the Bubblegum from various angles.


Some of the pics show nodes on the Bubblegum that really look bulbous, and others are more hair-like. I am a bit nervous about the bulbous nodes, as i cannot tell if the are male-like or hermie, or perfectly normal....



My second "learning opportunity" is in the venting of my light. I have a nice straight shot out of the tent with a full metal duct to my dryer vent. But the space between the Can-Fan at the end of the light, and the end of the duct coming in to the tent is VERY small. Well, while i was at work today, the flex duct i'm using to connect the fan and the duct split in two places. The two spots that the flex duct cracked are in the most radical bends the ducting takes. I am thinking of rotating the light 90 degrees. Opinions?



Thanks in advance for the great input!

looks all female to me....perfectly normal
