Wooshoo Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Now I face a real crunch. I have to cure and replicate my Mother Lines. After all, I have been with this old Skunk for 7 yaers or more, so a shame to lose it. And the White Skunk is my very own child by a closet hack on a dark and windy night () (WTF?) (Nice Skunk, very nice skunk, ooohh luvverly skunk and vape... ) So it woud be a shame to lose either. Well, OK - now that OT has so kindly taken me through the steps (gotta feel for ya OT, I know how slow I am....) this is cool, I understand what to do. But this gonna take time before I have 15 clean young babes to go 12/12. Would it be quicker to do a seed grow whilst dealing with the mother lines? I am thinking of a quick finishing Indica maybe, just to get me through. Hmmmmm.... What'dya reckon peeps? I will be sticking with compost (undecided which) since the tent is going to dint the old wallet a tad. I will be posting up some root-balls for you to look at later. The killing season has started However, I have found that with what I have curing, drying and about to get chopped I should have enough to last till May. So the race is on. 3 and a bit months to get from here to harvest......... 300765[/snapback] You know what I am going to say Arnold, do both. Take cuttings if you want to save your pride and joy but at the same time germnate a few seeds. The only draw back is keeping the two separate in case the cuttings carry the infection across. I have a few seeds you can have if you want them WW & BG to help out. Looking forward to the root ball pictures, now that shows how sad I am. Good to hear you can salvage some of the flowering plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Layne Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 Yup, doing both M8. No probs keeping them apart. My new tent arrives, I hope, next week. So new seed lines can go straight in there whilst the (by then) sterilised Vegging area can be used for project "Mother Resurrection". As to salvaging flowering planst: Of 24 in the Bloom area I have binned 11 since they were no older than 29 days 12/12. I am saving 2 skunks that were at day 34. The remaining plants are all over 40 or 45 days into 12/12 so really quite save-able and not too shoddy. Keeping me busy all this. But in a nice and green kinda way. Dying plant piccies and rootrot porn will be cumming soon....... Oooo-errrr, missis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaticOne Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Sounds like a good plan Arnie. Glad you have got a brighter outlook on how to move forward. Hmmmm a fast finishing indica strain.... well I found Silver Pearl a fast finisher, 7 weeks and she certainly was an all over indica stone..... but alas the ones I grew were nirvana ....and well.... ya know Less said about them the better. Have to say did once crop a skunk#1 at 6 weeks....was a bit more of a speedy high, but bloody tasty smoke. Good luck, I will look forward to the root rot porn shot EO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Layne Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 , EO I once cropped a skunk @ 30 days. Like gentle herbal speed or really pure coke , but piss poor yield. Pardon me French. The new family: "The Pure" (FDM), "Belladonna" (Paradise), "Ultimate Indica" (Legends) Photos are being taken, but I am quite busy ripping things up and spending money at the ko, so uploading will be in a day or two. Promise! Hot Root-rot Porn will be here soon. Plus red hot yellowing action! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Layne Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 WARNING DISTURBING IMAGES AHEAD ------ ADULTS ONLY Here we go, one dying Gro-room......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Layne Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 Those were the ones I deemed fit to harvest. Nothing older than 53 days there. Bottom left plants are at day 31 or so, very yeelow and paltry. How's this for 30 days........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Layne Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 A Root ball, but this is from a 53 day-er and these were the healthiest of the remant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Layne Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 Ooops sorry, wrong shot, not much to see there. Here we go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Layne Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 A rather sickly White skunk, should be twice this size and deep dark green, considering its at day 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Layne Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 This shot gets to the heart of the problem. Note the look of readiness? Day 30! And look at the main leaves on the stem !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Layne Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 That's all for now peeps. More tommorrow. I shall be continuing the grand cull tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaticOne Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Not a pretty sight Arnie. But, have to say some good healthy looking buds there too. Hope it keeps you going till you can next harvest. EO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lazlo woodbine Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 (edited) Indeed arnie.... buds are fine.... I know this is probably bollox.... but looking at those pics it almost looks like nutrient lock-out.... Anyway - the consolation for you will at least be a 1/2 decent harvest... Good luck with the re-fit m8 .. Laz Edited February 4, 2005 by lazlo woodbine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bu Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Arnie, I have to say that those rootballs look fine to me.........I was expecting some brown and dying roots but they seem nice and white to me. Just my twopence worth but I agree with Laz. Bu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Layne Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 Easy peeps, these are the ones that are 56 days odd into 12/12, they are the least affected. Broown roots will be forthcomign I am sure, as I get into the younger and more diseased of the plants. Yields on these earlier plants is also reasonable-ish, about 60% of norm. The younger plants are down to about a potential of 25% if I were to let them go on. I can say this with some certainty, having grown them over the years.
