That sucks. I have a 12 + 12 plant limit so I can do smaller plants and mess with new genetics regularly. If yield was a big concern I would grow bigger plants and in your case I certainly would.

My plan was 1 tent per plant 4 x 4 each but.....I grew 3 pounds of personal last year. I think I can doo eeet.

And the quality of bud is always improving as i research and adjust nutes and temp. Its just going to get bigger from here with 4 plants. Pashaw i say to 4 plants.

I want to make the cover of high times Canadian edition :D

Day 16 from seed package. Looking pretty good. The soil is BioBizz Light Mix straight from the bag. No ferts have been added yet. Straight tap water plus calmag.

Damn, they are really taking off now! I have never let mine get that big in Solo cups, I think I have probably been up-potting them way too soon. Probably slows my growth...

Here’s a dirt cheap method of cloning I’ve been using lately. I’ve retired my OXY Cloner and am using these propagation trays instead. I may make a separate post showing what I do step by step but here’s a quick rundown.

All components from the top going clockwise. Bottom tray, clear dome, 3d printed spacer, inner tray.

Close up of the bottom tray.

Close up of the dome lid.

Close up of the 3d printed spacer

Cloner fully assembled.

Inner tray numbered so I can keep track of my cuttings.

Clonex gel and rapid rooter plugs.

Prepared cutting dipped in clonex. You can use a tool to rub the gel on the cutting, I just got lazy and dipped it.

Cutting in the inner tray ready to go.

I put about 1/4” of water in the bottom to provide moisture to them so the plugs don’t dry out completely.

All set to go. Now the waiting game begins. I’ve been getting 100% rooting in under 14 days. Some strains root in 3 days others take longer. Just depends on the strain.

No added heat is required and this just occupies a small section in my veg chamber.

The spacer was added so I could use taller cuttings but is not required if you take smaller cuts. You can also punch holes in the lid if you want and two of these occupy less space than the oxy cloner and doesn’t require any maintenance. Between each session I clean the trays in the sink with soap water and let them dry. Three of these occupy about the same space as my 20 site oxy cloner. So that’s 36 cuts for the same space. Not too shabby.

This all costs practically nothing to buy and use.

12 trays and domes were $14
Clonex Gel was $10-15 (and lasts forever)
Rapid rooter plugs were $20 for 50 of them
3d printed spacer cost $1 in materials

Just recently I had a rooted clone that got about 12” tall in the solo cup. I got lazy and just recently up potted it. I actually had a couple that size. AK47 loves to grow.

Btw I’m using BioBizz Light Mix soil straight out of the bag. I’ve not fed them yet either at this point. No nute burn so far. It’s a perfect soil blend for seedlings and freshly rooted clones. It also makes a good cutting medium for hotter soils like FFOF instead of using coco which really fucks with things when too much of it is used.

Does the 1/4" of water in the tray get you through the process? Or do you have to add water along the way? I'm going to be embarking on this for the first time soon.

Oh, and do you soak the rapid rooter plugs before you use them? Tap or solution?

It's funny how paranoia from first attempts can lead to so many questions. lol

 

[JWM2]

The water it the bottom just helps keep them moist but not wet. Every couple days I have a dropper I use to suck up the water and drip it on the plugs to get them wet. Just do that every few days as they develop roots. I don’t soak the plugs but I do drip some water on them so they are wet starting out. Soaking them would do the same thing so whatever works for you.

I do add a little more water along the way but the water at the bottom just keeps the cuttings from drying out. It might not be needed but I’ve had good luck doing it.

 

[Phylex]

Awesome thanks. I know it's supposed to be hailed as really easy. My brain just acts like a sponge before I embark on something for the first time. I like to try and understand everything so I'm prepared. I have a fault of trying to perfect everything I do.

No worries bro. Cloning isn’t hard it’s just using the OXY Cloner wasn’t convenient at all. And was starting to get increasingly poor results with it. Mostly due to temps this time of year but also it was becoming a hassle to maintain. Couple that with the fact that this method seems to work better (in my situation) and it’s almost a no brainer. I was actually testing this method out hoping it wouldn’t beat the Oxy Cloner so I could justify using it and it’s price. But my experiment shocked me and so I’ve adapted and made the change.

Day 18.

luv that stage....rock em bro

 

[JWM2]

Day 19 from seed package. 1 day germination + 18 days growing.

 

[JWM2]

Phase 1 is going very well for The Growing Pot. Will be expanding the pot and going into flowering here shortly. Within the next 24 hours. Strain is AK47.

 

[JWM2]

New section on the left. Existing container on the right.

Closeup of new section.

Another pic of both sections. The old pot is taken off the base and the new section is put on the base for filling. This eliminates messes on my floor.

New section being filled with soil. You can see the drainage holes that also allow the roots to grow through from one section to the next.

Getting there. I use this trowel to fill my pots. Handy.

New section filled. Now time to add the existing section on top of it.

Viola. Transplanting done. Pot has been expanded to allow the continued growth of the roots without disturbing the root ball. Life goes on as if nothing happened. No mess to clean up and it took about 30 seconds to do from beginning to end.

Plant now in its home (to flower) in my home grow rack.

There ya have it, The Growing Pot.

badass pot bro.....nice work !

 

[JWM2]

Thanks bro!

It can also be used with coco or hydroponics. I have bases for it that allow drainage to drain lines or even RDWC. So once you buy one you don’t need much to go hydro or soil anytime you want. Just switch grow mediums between grows.

Lookin good JWM2..The girls are killing it..biobizz works great..

That pot plant is pretty nifty.im pretty anal bout not disturbing the roots as much as possible..but thats just me...
