Thanks for welcoming me.
Yes clones can be strange, I too have seen some ugly clones turn out good.
You have the biggest leaves i have seen on clones though, I usually only leave two leaves that is cut on their tips.
Only because I saw it on some videos.
Maybe those were the tops of plants? Any success rooting those ?
i sometimes use tops for clones. if the plant is getting taller with not many side shoots i will usually use the top as a cutting. this will also help promote side branching on the mother plant. but if all the branches are pretty even and have a nice canopy then i will just grab smaller lower cuttings for the clones. when you take bigger cuttings there is less veg time before flowering. most recently i almost lost my cut of alien rock candy, the mother plant was having issues so i made sure the cutting i took was a large one so i wouldn't have to wait as long for the clone to grow.
as for snipping the tips of the leaves off... well honestly i just don't believe in it, i've seen it done many times on ganga forums and videos but never on any other plant site or botany book ever. i understand people say it helps send a signal for the cutting to grow roots but actually the cutting sends a signal to root when the stem is cut from the plant. another reason i've heard was if you snip the leaves there is less surface area to use water. if that's really the reason that makes no sense to me. if the plant is wicking up more water for full leaves wouldn't that help with the plants metabolism and actually make the cutting stronger?? i really feel cutting the tips off just stress the cutting even more at a vulnerable time.
Enjoy the rest of your day!!!!!!!!
Got some catchin' up to do....
DJ you need to come down to South Tejas and do some hog hunting. These feral hogs are the worst and do so much damage to farm land you can pretty much kill as many as you want, get some good backstrap, and make a little $$$ too! . I went on some hunts when I was little but it never really took for me. I'm more into fishing than anything when it comes to outdoors but I'm not sure about that anymore since the last time I went snapper fishing I got sea sick
Stoney, dude the Hangover trilogy never really took with me except for the 1st one since it came out when I was going to Vegas every Summer. I saw the next two but didn't really get into them much. Then last month HBOMax put all three up for streaming so I thought WTH I'll watch them at work. Holy crap I found them so funny I watched each one over and over for a couple week straight. They're just insanely funny man. Lots of dark humor but still so dang funny
So great to see you get your cloning mojo back and save your ARC too!
And this is really spooky with you talking about smoked cream cheese and Texas Twinkies. I got an email from Meat Church last week with a TT video recipe and thought hell yeah I'm gonna do this! I may change it up a bit and use pulled pork, ground beef, or chop smoked pork ribs and wrap with prosciutto instead of bacon. But man smoking cream cheese just sounds awesome and has me thinking about doing it but making a dip with it.
The video is pretty good and the end is funny since one guy is a Cowboy fan and the other a Falcon fan. But the falcon fan has a hilarious tattoo! You gotta see it so I'm not gonna spoil it but it's right up there with a "No regrats" tat
And check these out brother! They were shipped from your neck of the woods,and are restaurant quality. Got 10lb in the freezer...well 8lbs now and they're so freekin' delicious out of the new air fryer!!

Well I gotta get an update ready for my grow journal and organize some pics. Gotta lot of 'em!
Take it ez and have a great week!
man i gotta say you guys down there in the lower states are doing a pretty good job with those wild hogs... i think if it wasn't for the peeps in florida, and texas and arizona and all the other southern states those pigs would be up here in the north!!!!
i especially like the tannerite method!!!!!!! gives all the smallest critters a meal too!!!!!
just like up in north west with these new murder hornets... those peeps up there are keeping them from destroying the entire country right now!!!
.
i gotta say the smoked cream cheese is much better used as a dip than in a twinkie. no disrespect to meat church or anything but when you smoke those twinkies for an hour or so the pre smoked cream cheese is not even a factor, you can't tell... but yeah in a dip or even just spread on a cracker or some celery it's the bomb. you can really taste it when used on things that are not ever normally smoked, if that makes sense..
those oysters look killer man.... the buffalo style sounds great!!! i laughed when you said well i got 8 lbs now!! i would have done the same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!
and i liked that guys tattoo... he's like we won the first half!!!! hahahahahahaha all he has to do is get the word almost added and he's good to go!!!!!
and maybe i'll have to give the hangover movies another chance,,,, that's how i was with the broken lizard movies, took a few viewings to get better. i've been watching friday night lights on netflix... i haven't seen it since it first aired. i like just as much now as i did back then.
.
i gotta get some pics of the hibernate from greenpoint that i just put in flowering. she's a total can't get right!!! growing super narrow but kinda fuzzy in a way like a fake xmas tree before the pipe cleaners are stuck in!!! hahaha i cut her head off for a clone and now she is a two headed tower!! i'll get some pics up of her soon.
and the two recent purple punch crosses i put in.. the motor punch and the purple aliens.. man they are growing better than i ever seen before with the clw led. ya know as far as stretch and bud sites and the little things i notice just in early flowering alone.. can't wait to see the end result thats for sure!!!!!
have an awesome week brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
