 Sour Diesel Clone - First Grow *Update* Harvest pics 
#650377 - 12/10/12 12:16 AM (12 years, 3 months ago) |

Picked up a sour diesel clone today. had very rigorous root growth (forgot to take a pic) so i immediately transplanted into jiffy seed starting mix. i also have fox farm ocean forest for soil media but i picked up this soil AFTER i had already transplanted (bad timing).
it is currently under 3 23W cfls 6500K 1800 lumens each. i have a 125W cfl with a reflector but i need to mount that to my grow box which ill do tomorrow, too tired right now. right when i transplanted i gave her a good watering with Sparkletts distilled water.
here some pics of the simple set up:
should i let this clone grow its roots through the jiffy seed starting mix? if so should i add any nutrients right away? it has some yellowing of the leaf tips when i picked it up.
OR
should i quickly remove the clone and plant it straight into fox farm ocean forest. if so, can i leave the clone in this media for awhile with no nutrients since ocean forest already is packed with nutrients?
heres a close up of the leaves.

here is my current grow box for my sourd clone and bagseed.
i replaced the 3 23Watters with a 125W cfl. i have an exhaust in the top left, the fan is a 5in thermaltake pc fan.
question about the fan, its a DC 12V thats made to move 78cfm.
i spliced this fan with an old phone charger. the charger is max 6V. so is it safe to say that this fan is moving HALF the stated cfm? so therefore it is moving only 39cfm due to the lower voltage?
either way, i believe its still sufficient for my space, (11in x 25in x 32in) roughly 5-6 cubic feet.

somebody help!! my clone is showing yellowing. it began to really start yellowing last night so i decided to fert it for the first time. i used a very very low dose of jacks classic all purpose 20-20-20. clone is growing in jiffy starting mix under 125W cfl with 2 23W cfls on the side. watered with sparkletts distilled water (with no additives) any help would be appreciated, i dont want her to die on me!!

ok, so it's too early to expect results? been approx 12 hrs since i fed it last night. looks a bit worse then before i fertilized it. if no improvements are seen by tomorrow night, should i feed it a higher dose? ive been told that jacks classic is very powerful and to give low low doses to avoid burning..

good to know. i planned on transplanting her after she develops her roots throughout this current container, as hawk suggested.

should i wait till the soil dries out a bit before transplanting? since i watered it last night, the soil is a bit too moist and im worried the soil will just begin to crumble away the moment i take it out of the container. i want to move it to ffof as soon as i can

perfect, thanks guys. i was able to transplant her to the ffof media with 1/3 perlite added right before i left for work friday the 14th.
this morning, she looks very lively! leaves are perked up and looking healthy, except for the first 2 leaves that showed nute deficiency early, they seem kinda dead, (1 crunchy and the other still kinda green at the base of the leaf) What should i do with these 2 leaves? cut off? leave on?
  
UNFORTUNATELY, i did not get to read your response in time about burying the stem up to the first node, did not even cross my mind, but ill be sure to do this the next time i transplant (last transplant probably into a 3gal container).
Hawk, i picked up this clone from a dispensary last sunday, so to me she's 1 week old, but i couldnt really tell you how old exactly. she did have a lottttt of roots coming out the bottom of the rock wool cube that it was in.
here is also a picture of the seedling i have in the same box. i planted this seed in the pellet last monday, so is this good growth for about 6 weeks of growing? it took awhile to germinate though (6 days)
i dont know where this seed came from so ill name her nightmare on elm street, or Kruger, since shes sitting on top of the elm street saga. haha

there are a few 'stunted' branches that havent been growing. can i cut these in order to promote new growth?
 
first pic is the first node of the clone, branch hasnt grown for the past week.
second picture is kinda blurry on the other stunted branches.

the cutting i was thinking it would work in a way of pruning, cut then have two shafts grow out. if this branch didnt stunt, could i have pruned it anyway to promote 2 branches to grow?
also considering lsting and topping. circumstances have changed and i will be moving out of this apartment within the next 2 months. with that being said, yield does not matter to me, only getting whatever harvest i can before i have to get rid of the plant.
so my question is, if i was to want to start flowering it in a week or two would it be worth to start tying it down to promote more top colas? or would the height not be a factor and could flower easily growing vertically?
it is in a box that is 31in high, 1 gal pot. the plant itself is about 8in long with 10in left to grow upward before it hits the light.

i just started the 12/12 light cycle right now. question is, do i need to feed it any bloom fertilizer now, or just wait for when the plant shows signs of nute deficiency?
it was transferred to FFOF 10 days ago with no additional fert added. plant looks healthy currently. when would be the best time to feed bloom fert?

here the most recent pics, taken on 12/26. her 2nd day in flowering and she looks so sexy 
 
juke: sure, the soil probably is a bit dry in that picture, its because i havent watered her for 10 days. i mean, her leaves looked perky enough, didnt want to water her if she didnt need it. i know the weight of the pot when soil is dry and weight when soil is wet. i use that kinda as an estimation on when to water.
the top two pics she had just been watered 2 days ago with distilled water with no ferts or additives.
im still using a 125W cfl 6400K at 7500 lumens.
added with that three 23W cfls 2400K 1100 lumens each.
totals to 10,80 lumens with 194W.
i like how the nodes arent as far apart. unfortunately a lot of the branches near the bottom stunted when i first got it and stupidly transplanted to seed starting mix instead of FFOF  otherwise shed look more fuller.
either way, i love this girl, she kinda reaks (in a good way) i know its too soon, but how soon should i really see it fill up with pistils? 2 weeks maybe? only 1 set of pistils have been there for awhile.

some pics from today. its flower day 6. she seemed to stretch a lot more since flowering. lot of space between each node closer to the top of the plant.
 
i left the bagseed in there as well. the seedling was in veg for 2 weeks and went into flower 6 days ago. Have no place for the seed so thought to see what would happen if it stayed in there. speed of growth has slowed down but growing nonetheless.

First off happy new year to everyone.

was looking at sick plants pictures, thinking it might be calcium deficiency? correct me if im wrong. best, cheapest way to correct? cal-mag?

no, i do not believe it to be nutrient burn. i have not fed this clone any nutrients, besides the FFOF that it sits in.
i realized that this plant is 1 month old and could be pot bound. i removed the plant from its container and sure enough, it was. so i went ahead and transplanted it from its 1gal container to a 2 gal. hopefully she can stretch her legs a bit and have her leaves start to perk up again.
could i hopefully finish flowering in this 2 gal container? im assuming i have another 3-4 weeks in this container. that would just total to 5 weeks flowering though, so im guessing id have to transplant 1 more time after this.

an update. shes on flower day 11. she looks a lot better now, could have been the feeding or the much needed space for roots. started tying down the main stem.

its flower day 15 and her lil buds are starting to grow in. its so exciting, first time actually seeing bud form right before my eyes, i cant wait to smoke her. hoping to get atleast an eighth off of her, fine by me since my time is so constrained on growing her.
some pics, she looks very healthy, last fed her was 5 days ago during the transplant.
the seed at the lower right is still growing, just really slowly. what's going to happen to it?

Thank you everyone! i really couldnt have come this far without all the valuable information everyone has shared here in the Growery. I'm really excited to hopefully get to harvest and see my crop and test it. I still have atleast another 7 weeks of flowering so anything can still happen.
quick question, i dont know how old the clone was when i got it. but when i got it, there were a lot of roots and atleast 2 inches long coming out the bottom of the rock wool cube. i have no experience in clone growth as of yet so i cant estimate an age, but how long was this clone growing for before i got it? 2 weeks?
