No, end goal is to keep her in pot... Next grow will be in the ground fully outdoor. Oh ok, but you will be flowering her outside? So still a long time until she starts to flower so she is going to get BIIIG. I do not think 20L will suffice, you will need to go bigger I think, although you can use 20L for now.
-
I agree with @Smelly Joe anything below the scrog net I would clean up, so remove the smaller branches and leaves etc. Look at what my plants looked like after I cleaned them up: Looking back at those pics, they have actually grow a looot since then too!
-
Ahh ok, so the end goal is to put it into the ground? Yeah, 20L should be fine then and then afterwards put it into the ground. Even 10L may suffice for now, just until the weather improved a bit.
-
I prefer softer stems, generally where I take my cuttings from the stems are softer and smaller anyways.
-
So some pics, below is the plant last night after spreading some pollen on her: Then this morning I hosed the plant down to try get rid of any lose pollen, no change in colour yet on the pistils / stigma. Will see tonight, I believe it happens within 24 hours. I moved the plant back into my grow area after hosing her down.

Looking good, I don't think you need to do any trimming yet. Up to you though. You will be flowering outside too? Will you be putting the plant into the ground or keeping it in pots? It will need a larger pot soon.

So when you take cuttings again, give this a try - even if it is only on some and not all of them. Put the cuttings straight into some tap water, leave it for 12 - 24 hours (not longer) and then put your cloning powder / gel on and then into the eazy plugs / jiffies / soil / bubble cloner etc. DO NOT cover them with a humidity dome but keep them in your veg area. You will not have to baby them, they will not flop down and will root pretty easily. I am now using a bubble cloner, I much prefer it over jiffy pellets and rapid rooters and soil. I like that I can watch and see when there are roots and it's super easy, no maintenance required at all. Just put them in and leave them until roots have formed then plant them. I created a thread where I built my bubble cloner, it's really easy and not all that expensive. My success rate has been super high. So far the only cuttings I had to throw away were the 4 corners on in my bubble cloner - when I tested it I realized there were not enough bubbles getting to the corners and then 1 cutting I took from a plant which was very unhappy. I did not take good care of the cutting either so it was tossed. The rest have all taken or are still alive. That is over 36 cuttings so far.

Howzit from Daggafontein Genetics :)

Welcome, I guess we shall receive a link once you are signed up as a vendor? -
I have my cuttings in my veg tent, I find it is the easiest as the RH is higher so it helps. I don't use a dome anymore, just makes the cuttings "weak" and they rely on you babying them then. My cuttings are on an 18/6 cycle, no issues. I doubt 24/0 makes them root faster.

So upon further inspection, I noticed that some pollen sacs had cracked open... inside my veg area which is where I am keeping my auto's. I did not have time to move them to the new tent yet, so fuck it. Took them both outside, picked off a few other cracked pollen sacs and sprinkled the pollen onto the pistils of my female plant and wiped down my grow area a bit as best as I could. Both plants will sleep outside tonight, tomorrow morning I want to try hose down the pollinated plant and leave her outside to dry and then she can go back inside the flowering area. I did get my new lights up and running, have them in my veg area and have taken the QB out - so that is ready for the new tent at least. I really hope no pollen has gotten and is going to get onto my flowering plants, an indoor grow with seeds is extremely annoying! Such a waste. The next STS spray will be on Wednesday evening, although I may give it a skip until I start seeing pistils on the Charlottes Angel.

@Trailblazer420 what do you mean by 3rd generation on the Cinderella 99?
-
I have some 12v PC fans, so may hook one up inside the tent for some circulation... I will have to monitor and see.
-
Alright nice, so a fan going to let the pollen spread. I am in two minds about a fan in my tent for air circulation, I am leaning towards no fan to help prevent pollen from getting out the tent... I was referring to the plant receiving the pollen, although I can see the pistils are starting to brown, so that means they've received pollen. I forgot you're using the same plant to create pollen and to pollinate (make seeds).
-
Only if it extracts out - my issue is the pollen being spread throughout my house and getting inside my flower tent with the plants I do not want to pollinate. Very risky business, I know, I hope I do not end up accidentally pollinating my other flowering plants. I'd rather have the plants suffer a bit with high temps and RH for a few days then pollen everywhere. The plants will survive.
-
It's not just about brightness though
-
Nice! I will probably have pollen sacs popping by the end of this week then. Are you letting the pollen do its things or are you assisting and trying to brush some onto pistils yourself? Have you noticed a change in colour on any of the pistils yet?
-
I don't feel there is much need to feed kelpak once the plants are bigger. More for seedlings / clones.

So confirmed that the Daq Lime has lots of pollen sacs all over it, I did another and probably final (will see) STS spray on Saturday evening (last night). Still no signs of flowering on either of the Charlottes Angel plants. I purchased another tent today which I will use for pollinating the plant - so both Daquari Lime plants will be placed inside that tent together, the conditions will be harsh (no extraction or intake) so I expect humidity to be high and the temps to be high too, I may water the plants less while they're inside there and it will just be used until the pollen has dropped and been spread on the female plant to pollinate her. I do need to get a few things to finish up some lights for this tent though. I then plan on culling the pollen donor (STS sprayed plant) and then spraying down the newly pollianted female before placing her back into the usual spot and continuing with flowering her. I will then spray down the tent outside most likely with a host pipe and leave it to dry before bringing it back inside or using it for another plant. This tent can double as a drying tent if need be, so it could serve dual purposes! I really have no clue how long until the pollen sacs open and drop pollen.

THC as effective medicine.

@Totemic any further updates? -
Those are just pistils, does not mean she is flowering. If just outside, she will continue to veg until next year sometime when the hours of daylight become less.
-
Haha, imagine me!
-
Could these be pollen sacks I see? Will monitor and check again on Saturday. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Looking great! Eager to see the bud grown under these lights!

Day 72 / Day 20 of flower So I took some photos last night after doing a light defoliation to remove some leaves which were stopping light from reaching bud sites and after a nice watering. Finally, some proper updates of each plant. Bagseed: Bruce Banner: CBD Critical Mass: GDP: GSC: Chocolope: Then below are some pics of the plants in the tent, they're really crammed inside there. Having 6 in that small space is not ideal I feel it will affect my yields. Especially without a scrog net - next time I would like to use my scrog net, I have an idea now on how to water the ones in the back with the scrog net. Also I took measurements of two of my tallest plants. CBD Critical Mass: Bruce Banner:
