I took a few more pics at lights out, I was hoping to pull the pretty GSC/Jam's but they're still ripening, 1 more week is all they've got, nothing is going past 10 weeks

Dec 14,Damn can’t believe I missed this lol, been outta the loop for awhile just barely able to water the girls, glad I’m back and can enjoy these excellent grows along with you all!
Thanks man its mostly the strains......You look at that pretty Gsc auto and go wow like I do but don't look at the Gelato in the corner, she didn't get treated well and her buds are pretty airy...sticky but airy and the last time I grew out her mother she had nice think hard buds so I fked up....She's a great producer though, she has a lot of buds and I've a clone off her mother that is now almost 5 months in veg so I should be able to keep a good Gelato supply off the next one...Stunning as always PC, I love your pictures and quality overall in your grows!

That is just a $1 store vegetable bag as a bug / dust filter. I have that on my input air but I have that fan shut off now and I'm just using passive. In the Summer I need to add cooler air and I've that line going out to a sub basement / oil tank room without heat in it bring in cooler air.Hey Piper, may I ask what is the exhaust is placed into? Looks like a container,plastic, for what reason and where you get the idea. I believe it's treating the air to help with the smell. Thank's in advance,Cheers SS
no time limit that I know of. I've 2 clones now 5 months old not flipped yet.....I've flipped at 6 weeks but most go 2+ months.......clones or from seed. I take cuttings then flip the mothers, when they are done in 2+ months I take clones off the kids then flip and continue the cycle...in a perfect world......but most do go 2 months at least for me.....I just up potted two clones to 3 gal pots in coco/perlite and wanted to know how long do you veg clones before you flip to flower?

Today I was busy in my grow room, I hung my 2nd Gsc/jam after trimming her up yesterday, I now have 4 drying and my Gelato sitting or I should say leaning over a back seat in my basement. I pulled the Gelato out then cleaned the tent and filled it back up again.
I now have in the tent a GG#4 clone 5 months old in a 5 gallon pot & another Gelato also 5 months old and in a 5 gallon pot. These 2 girls have been abused and were kept in 1 gallon pots, neglected & forgot about. I'd water when I saw them hanging and feed left over feed from other plants.
After my last harvest 2 months ago I finely had room for them so I transplanted them into 3 gallon pots and started looking after them. Wow they took off, I've bent them over a number of times, broken some bones but they've healed and kept growing towards the light.
I also have 2 Gsc clones from the Gsc I just harvested and an AK47 / Blackberry that was started back with the other bunch of QCseeds but was slow off the start so I kept her back. Once she decided to grow she grew well and I had to bend her over as well to fit in my closet.
I took 2 cuttings off each off of them 3 off the AK/Bl and I've them as the only plants in veg so I have them under / along side a single 4ft t5 I normally use for side lighting i with larger plants but it should be perfect for this. I might have to add my heating pad because the single t5 won't keep the space warm enough...coulda shoulda...tomorrow now.

Dec 21,Looking great in here buddy.
I've tried a few different methods to clone, last year I spent around $100 to make a bubble cloner, It worked but not as well as just sticking them in the dirt with a bit of clonex on the cutting. I have a heating pad underneath with some spacers keeping it off plastic bottom and I'm spraying them with H2O and the inside of the dome twice a day. I really only need 1 of each strain so I took 2 off each plant even with a 50% success rate I should have what I want.Looking good Pipecarver, the cloning is my study for improvement but 2 out of three tried is 75% success rate. Temps and humidity play a big role in when it's a good time to clone for me as I use my grow room and the humidity has varied greatly for the last 6-7 weeks, I was lucky to get 2 out of three really. Practice makes perfect they say,Cheers SS
Thanks but I only show the pretty ones....lol...I don't show off the failures.....Ya I never have then under brights I'm using a single t5 at a distance and the dome is all yellowed up after years of use, I think that's why my success rate has improved, Shit my last 2 clones I didn't use a dome I just stood them to the side and for got about them 2 died and the other 2 lived I never even sprayed them, they looked like shit but eventually took off. They are a tough breed it takes a lot to kill them outright.I used to have about 50% success rate with various methods. I found a game changer for me and you might not suspect it.
For me the secret is 50 ppfd light levels. Its very low light which makes the food consumption super slow but lets the roots grow.
I found that at the low light levels the humidity didn't matter as much because the plant wasn't trying to move water through its stem for photosynthesis in the leaves.
I'm now around 100% and use rock wool cubes and have perfectly green rooted clones in about 15 days give it take a few days.
Try measuring your light and see how low you can go to keep them healthy long enough to root.
Flowers are beautiful as always!
