Lighting Auto Blackberry Grow

[Devil1]

Went ahead and transplanted yesterday (9-25-13).

Soil - Miracle grow cut with good amount of Peat seed starter and lots of perlite.

Looks like this from bottom up...

Pea gravel 3/4 inch
perlite 1/2 inch
Soil mix

Made a cup size hole in the middle and bedded with seed starter, set transplant then surrounded about 1 1/2 inchs in seed starter.

This might sound weird to some of you but I have always planted by feel, dont know how to explain it, I just feel it as I go and create my pot of gold, Im very happy with it, it feels right.

I will be using "FullDuplex's" oxygenated watering technique.

All I have plans for as far as nutes is molasses starting week 4 or 5 depending on stage of growth. I will use nutes as needed if the plant asks for them.


Here are a couple pics from after the transplant...

Moved in the 125w cfl (10-1-13). I swear this hood runs hot, ive ran 200+ watts of the small cfls surrounding the plant and have never had a problem. Im already hitting 86 at high. The grow has over kill on exhaust and fans. Here is a pic of what she looks like two weeks in. I also just wanted to show you a pic of my new baby girl, not gonna keep a log but just have to love when the babies pop out, it is a white widow x amnesia.

she is starting to explode in growth. im gonna give it a week before next pic. she loves the 125w, she looks so happy today.

Was reading through your earlier posts. Have you ever had any success at cloning your auto's? I recently tried with my Jack Herer from Royal Queen Seeds and it was a dismal failure. They rooted but then immediately went to flower, even though the mother plant wasn't even thinking about flowering yet. I think my humidity dome kept things way too hot as well but as soon as they rooted they were in flower... Frustrating! Looking to hear some pointers from those who have succeeded at this, as your plan was exactly what I was wanting to do with my plant!

I've had success cloning auto Xtreeme.

Did you do anything out of the ordinary? Do you think success is strain specific? It would be an ideal solution for getting fem seeds that were almost exact copies!

I've never experimented with cloning autos, from the beginning of my research on autos ive come to terms that these plants are "auto". What i mean by that is once the life cycle is started everything continues until it is over no matter light, fim, topping, ect.

A is just an exact copy of what you are growing, therefor in an auto, the life cycle has started and will not alter. did that come out right?

I am no "vet" at growing, my mentor (who is spending 15-18 for 13 "too many" clones) taught me that you cannot learn from a book, you have to feel it and experiment.

I am growing in what most would laugh at, 1/3 miracle grow, 1/3 seed starter, 1/3 perlite. She is under 125w cfl lighting. I have failed a dozen times to a single nice grow through out my time. All i can say is i "feel it", i talk to her/them and pay attention to what the want/need.
