thai @ 8 weeks, flower chamber getting crowded, more thai and blue dream clones - june 19 2010

thai is at 8 weeks flowering today, only 3~4 more to go! the 3rd generation thai clones were ready to be put into soil, so i had to make room in the veg chamber, 2 of the plants pulled from veg and put into the flowering chamber have only vegetated for 6 days! so i will have a mini thai and a mini blue dream coming my way in a couple/few months

i defoliated the thai a bit today, pulled off a few handfuls of crystally sticky leafage! here's the before picture


and here is the after shot


some bud shots of the thai





oaksterdam nurseries blue dream (17 days veg, 30 days into flowering)





a bud shot of the myster-e bag seed plant's top cola (30 days flowering)


here we have a thai in the front (clone, 6 days veg, 1 day in flowering), a myster-e plant clone (19 days in veg, 1 day in flowering), and in the back is blue dream (13 days veg, 7 days flowering), poking it's head in on the right you can see a lower bud from the big thai plant


this thai clone just got a haircut to allow light through, defoliation really works, keep trimming! she was vegged for 38 days in the tiny veg box i put together, comparing this to how big the first thai got under 250watt hps in just 31 days

wow what a difference the hid makes compared to the veg boxes crappy $34 cheapy ebay led panel, i need to put the cash down for something at least halfway decent like a sunshine systems glowpanel 45 or maybe a bloomboss 45, i don't like the ufo style ones, a square makes more sense as far as space planning, plus you can hang them vertically it seems! the ufo wouldn't be easy vertically, maybe there is a way to set it up that way in a stable manner but i don't know of one; my idea is to have a panel or 2 in the flower cabinet too! have them actually hanging off of the hid hood at a slight angle angling down (so light doesn't accidentally hit the underside of leaves), it would provide side lighting to supplement the 250watt hps but add minimal heat (if any)


i am keeping 1 thai in the veg chamber as a mother, she's going to be
ready for pulling 6 or so clones off of in about a week i think, i keep
her in the far corner furthest away from the cfl bulbs and mostly under
the low powered led as it stays nice and cool, for keeping a mother thai
plant it seems to do well as long as i keep training her low

the new clone all the way in the back is having a hard time, the 3 other clones i popped in yesterday seem to be doing well in their new home
