Grow number two, making space

[One drop]

It’s not catnip Puss ....... but much better choice in my humble opinion. Od .

Current situation:

I’m good with that. Leaf temps from plant to plant at canopy height varied no more than 1.5 F, from 74.5-76.0 F

Do you use armor si or silica blast? That extra cell wall growth might help against cold/heat temps and etc and give a little less worries with increase cell structure.

Yup looks good but still feel they may like a bit drier. I find most indica leaners prefer the higher end of VPD but again its not a set in stone thing and anything in a decent range is very acceptable and that looks good.

They all got one dose of rhino skin so far with more to come.

I can try keeping it drier again, but that one plant? Wasn’t happen then, while the other plants appear to be equally happy at 60% or 70%.

I’ve never used rhino skin, is that liquid or powder and is that the same thing as those products? Also forgot liquid karma by botinacare very very good.

It is a liquid by Advanced Nutrients and contains potassium silicate.

I run the 6" cloudline fan and it made indoor growing much easier by making it easier to control the tent environment.

I did some defoliation of those massive leaves blocking bud sites on the indica (center) and the giant floppy ones on the unknown sativa. The autoflower (left) has been lst’d. Pretty sure the plant on the right is a male though not yet positive. However, the accidental clone I took from it has roots today! This makes my first successful clone and I am so fucking happy. I also spent my afternoon near perfecting my Peppermint Patricks. Just in time for the holidays. I also took inventory of my seeds. Many autoflowers were gifted to me. ❤

Well done on the clone. Keep an eye on the parent plant. I can't have any males around, would ruin my grow.
Males are usually easy to spot but hermies are more of a pain as they might not show until you're a few weeks into flower.
You've enough seeds to last a lifetime, especially if you can clone. You can take cuttings up to 21 days into flower but its always best and less stressful on the cutting to take them when your parent plant is still in veg. I only grow seeds out of curiosity rather than necessity. I take cuttings for my next grow from my current grow, the day or 2 before I switch over to12/12. Gives them lots of time to get rooted and a good 5 weeks in 1/4 litre pots while they wait for the room to empty before I re-pot them into 5 1/2 litre pots and we start all over again. I save quite a lot of cash and I am not waiting for anyone except myself. I very rarely buy seeds but because of cloning I get my £60 worth from every pack I do buy.

So you have a second area for keeping your clones until you can flower them, which I do not. But, I can take multiple cuttings and hopefully root them, veg them for a few weeks and flip simultaneously. Many of those seeds are autoflowers which I assume should not be cloned.

Yeah with autos it would likely not work as expected to clone.

I think with autos the key will be learning how to use colloidal silver to self them. That could also be a project I want to do it to mine and horde a big stash of good seeds lol. Them fuckers are too much $$$

Well I have some autos I can contribute to the cause.

 

[Grownsince95]

We can do it together on the other breeder thread! I have 2 strains I can cross.

I do, I have a converted hutch but its still a struggle. You need two tents LOL. I need a tent.
I don't know anything about auto's, those and feminized seeds I have avoided. I've been trying to keep things organic, besides those rockwool cubes and the plastic tray they come in, and the pots of course, everything is organic so I don't want to mess with Frankenstein seeds. Not that there's anything wrong with Frankenstein, its just not for me. If I was to grow them, I'd try cloning them just to see what would happen.

I have no doubt that at some point I will try cloning one. But it will be after the herb coffers are full.

Been there. Sucks. A couple "solutions" to consider...

I flipped my grow area to 12 on from sundown to sun up. Anything that was veg got comfortable in a window, or outside if the weather was good during the day. I let them rest in a dark closet for 6 hours before sundown and then back under the lights when they popped on.

Switched to an aero cloner, 24 sites, called a HortiPot. You can take long clones, leave the foliage on them, and let them go for a couple of weeks I. there. Then transplant into dirt. Follow the window schedule for 2 weeks and flip them to flower. Plants won't be huge, but they yeild out pretty fast that way.

And then theres bonsai... lol not going there.

Well you already know the bonsai approach appeals to me. So many opportunities it’s endless.
