To kill or not to kill

tobynutz · 12-12-07, 02:18

that is the question. these were started at exactly the same time. as you can see, 2 were badly stunted in the beginning and one has flourished. the 2 runts will not recover, they are pretty much just a waste of energy. they may be able to be saved, but i dont want to vaulable plant sites to be used on sickling plants. i will clone the other if female and put those in their place. here are the pics. let me know.

one in front is good 2 in back id toss but thats just me, if ther not recovering than dont waste much time or effort on them. its not to far into the grow where it would suck balls.

tobynutz · 12-12-07, 02:51

true that. i shall kill and move my number one right under the middle of the light for full sun. i think she should be showing sex soon. its on about the sixth node maybe seventh by tomorrow. ive been looking with a mag. glass but havent spotted anything yet. i hope to the weed god its a female so i can clone the shite out of her. she is staying very short bushy which is most excellent.

i'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.

i found out what was causing the slow growth. my dumb ass using white buckets, which in turn led to algae growth. the little ones have been killed. the big one was switched out with a clean bucket, the nutrients replaced with fresh and slightly stronger and i lined the bucket and lid with foil to block the light. my guess is she will be doing much beter these next couple days

its funny that its barely vegging and i can already smell her in the tent

I dont think algae growth would affect your plants
Just chunk your plants in some good soil and you will get a decent grow

tobynutz · 12-12-07, 14:16

we have no place around here that sells good organic soils or nutes for them. i can however find verm and perlite and coco so i can make my own soilless mix. thats what im gonna do with the rest of em.

dizzydank · 12-12-07, 16:10

some of my friends only use coco. they swear by it. i havnt tried it yet but it looks promising. 50/50 coco/perlite not be to bad. goodluck toby.

alounacara · 12-12-07, 17:26

I use coco/verm mixed with a little Moisture Control potting soil
I finially found 20 lbs of worm castings and i will mix that in when i re-pot my plants
I need to do a update on my grow

dizzydank · 12-12-07, 18:02

that u do paw. i wana see pics stat.

alounacara · 12-12-07, 20:35

I misplaced my battery charger for my camera *damnit
They are starting to budd pretty nicely and the Kali is over 3` tall now
Took my first clone this morning when i dropped one of my lights and knocked off one of the lower branches, It broke it perfectly in the right spot for a nice clone so its not like i lost anything

tobynutz · 12-12-07, 22:15

ive got all kinds of things planned once my clones are ready. i think im gonna get some new genetics ordered as well. i havent quite decided yet though. i want to get some white russian and kali mist from serious seeds, but thats 210$

i think i might just stick to the 2 strains i have for now.

ShroomGuerilla · 12-12-07, 22:51

chuck the runts in the back. they were never destined for greatness. Even if you could keep them alive, they would be probably cause you consistent time, effort, and all around bullshit. Don't feel sorry for the cripples,

just toss'em. Clone the ever-living-fuck out of that strong one fanning out her leaves so sexily... anyways...
