When it finished it sniffed around the porch, the garden fence, then ambled off. As soon as it was out of sight I opened the back door and put pout a little more food. Maybe get it comfortable with me being the source. I want to cuddle with it LOL

I still haven't gotten around to cloning. The Irene I just tossed potted and flipped might be enough smoke for a while. Back to that "I have the rest of the pack left" thing. All of the ones I have cloned are legit ones I will probably want more smoke from than the quick-flip provides, but they might be just that. The exceptions will be the Lemon Tree and the Catpiss. I think they are the plants that will sit in the corner vegging forever, and me running a clone whenever they feel like growing one. They are definitely a pack hunt to see if there is a stretchy pheno that rocks.

I tightened up the Ducks a little more to get better airflow.

Gonna make some respectable tops IMG_5351.JPG
The just flips looking dull. up-pot fever should break in a day or so. I am trying one of my 2 pink dandelion 12/12 and the other in 18/6 to see which flowers and makes me seeds ;)

And the rest. The Cherrywest on the shelf lower left is already mostly brown pistils up top and she hasn't hit 6 weeks yet. 2 days shy.

My babies stretched a bit but they seem good now. I added soil to top off the cups for support, but now they are sturdy on their own. -
All this is under 80w of a 100w AC Infinity light, and it's high enough to light the 3x3 to the edges. The shelf helped with the stretch too getting them closer to the action.

I have a 200w light in the other veg tent - and I think some shifting will happen eventually. Since the closet is no longer my veg area (until the Ducks are done) there is no option but for it to spread out. The lower powered light was/is the thing for keeping the clones happy. I just don't think it will do the job as the babies start putting on nodes.

I am evaluating the clones for ones I want to run again soon and those I don't. The only mom's for now will be the Lemon Tree and the Catpiss since they grow slow. any flowering will be of the clone variety. The Irene looks great but the smoke off the two in flower should be plenty - I have the rest of the pack... :rolleyes: The Dogma clone looks like ass, wierd leaves that look like they got some issues. And I let the T-star go to shit I think. Nothing that isn't salvagable but I'm not up-potting. And clones from an undernourished plant seems a bad idea.

So I am getting really high then making some decisions. On the up-side, the second Bees Knees showed me a pistil so that was not a wasted up-pot.

Keeping the closet in flower and just for tall plants might be best though. Growing inside it's a great option to have. The tall Duck is 44" tall above the pot and there's still 20" to the light. And I have another 8-12" I can raise the light with some creative rearrangement of the exhaust ducting. I can get another 4" pulling them off the plant caddy's but that's a last resort LOL.

I think my point there was that I'll not be recycling that clone until I feel like flowering it again.
The CLHP I can drop a bean every drop and if there's "excess" well hot damn! LOL
The Chem91 I can flower the "mom" each time I am able to take a new cut and again, if there's excess flower I can deal with that.

Either of those I would be good with having enough extra to do edibles or RSO or something - it's my best smokable meds, so I can only imagie what putting it in medicine form would do. Then I think - 'why the fuck can't I imagine it? make it happe cap'n' ;)

But the others need to achieve that status. Just got done mowing and gardening, and I'll be mixing that fresh batch of soil to put clones in.

Here's a crazy thought. Or not so crazy or whatever. I am taking a shower after gardening outside, prior to messing with dirt. 🤷‍♂️ :unsure:

I was just in automatic mode but the idea struck me as funny. Or how the old me would have thought it was funny.

My mom went through that before the dementia - shit times. Knowing what I know now I'd have dosed her up on RSO lol.

Haven't done bud porn in a minute. Checking the out the plants and the Cherrywest is looking tasty. Tiny, so this is a clone I'll keep growing out then run again.
IMG_5375.JPG
Getting a little milky but no amber yet.
IMG_5378.JPG
The Irene is gonna fill in to 4 giant spears.
IMG_5386.JPG
And the Delerium Dog - (DogPatch x Local Skunk) x LA Wedding Pop - is smelling piney/chemically interesting and getting chunky.
IMG_5387.JPG
The Dogma and one of the Ducks just so it's not a crowded mess to make out what's what. Dogma is a clone I'll flower out if it doesn't still look like shit when it grows out.
IMG_5370.JPG
And the group photos. Like elementary school I lined them all up by height.
The crowded mess
IMG_5371.JPG
The shorties (for now)

And the 2-footers.

The veg tent is doing great, even the hungry T-star look healthy otherwise. Damn... I watered everything, but I am going back in to do some damage one way or another. Like stripping the other Irene down to a few limbs and letting her veg a bit then flowering. Those spears look pretty damn interesting. I want more. The Catpiss is looking super clonable now for a shorty. there's 5 good ones now so I can leave the 5th and take 4. and that still leaces the center "cola" part that is growing slow. if it keeps putting out limbs to take that's a win.
IMG_5392.JPG
The Dogma clone is a goner though. just not a happy camper. The Dogma is basically 707's Trinity/Chem like the T-star is the one from Top Dawg. Between them I think I'll have plenty - then I can drop a pack. But I may take a set of T-star clones of I get into the cloning thoing anyway. Compared to the mom this is not a good representation, and because of the differences it looks like it might have some pathogen. better safe than sorry.

Nope - it was a topped plant clone. The center never grew and wilted away.

Aside from what is in the pots I am done with cloning - I have bean money and I like shopping for them. With the exception of doing a multi-clone SOG project to get weight the mom idea is gone. But I can also go the bigger-pot route and veg longer for the ones I want bulk.

I have 4 babies that need a 1g, then all my weed soil will be in use that I need for a bit. I'll have harvests before those 4 1g need a bigger pot. And al are fems so there's no male worries.

I have some tomatoes that need an up-pot from the 2" multi-plant pots to the 4" hardening off before full sun in the ground pots. I took what I didn't need for the 4 1g's and mixed it with pumice, vermi, castings, craft blend, and fresh peat for bulk. What I don't use for the tomatoes and peppers will up-pot current clones. If they suck they suck. I can start working more soil volume into the grow.

I have a feelilng that even if CSI lost all the chem moms to a catastrophy their collective has enough holders of the cut that he'll get it back - and make me more seeds.

I am on the clone thing because there's soil there in the ones I don't want to flower out to fluff out the soil more with some established bio. And als because the T-star at 9 days is already a daily driver. I may put those to 2g to see if I can green them up before flipping one. It is super potent - but I have the whole pack left... :rolleyes: 🤷‍♂️ 😜

Seriously - I think all the singles I have been running are from the "extra" pack beans. 12 in a 10-pack type stuff.

I think the system needs to mees to my goals - dank and variety. There is a small now of repeat offenders I want to keep in the jar so that might be a rotation all it's own instead of trying to run everything at once.
