Drinking from a Cattle Trough

Some of the best advice I’ve ever gotten is not to commit to a mistake just because I’ve spent a lot of time making it. Don’t fight a battle with them. Life’s too short. Reset and go again. Looking great in here as usual JJ. Cheers.

If all the stars align just right these girls might be heading to the gulf coast. If not, we will try again next month but eventually Gorilla is going to float down the mighty Mississippi. Landed and in "Locked" P.O. Cheers SS

I agree, as I have seedlings that are puny and I am not interested in wasted media, nutriments,time especially. The barge has arrived. Monday will be a big day for clones here. My P.O. isn't open Sat. Sun. dang. SS

I've seen runts lay around the shop floor for days just as green as when I pulled them out of the trays, that rockwool is some good stuff.

Thanks for your generous gifting, BB is something I've heard about but never tried, just like trw,gg6. It's a great opportunity and let me know in the dm what you'd like. Cheers SS

I just stumbled on your journal.....in your 1st post you called your system "low tech". Compared to me you've got a space station. I'm closet, seeds, dirt, castings, strong light, fan. I don't even know if I'll do a trellis. I have a friend giving me a few clones for the first time and I'm hoping just to not kill them. ;).

You've built a nice system, good stuff.

Flood & Drain is one of the older methods of hydroponic growing and one of the simplest imo. It has it drawbacks but those are easily managed with a little practice. Some form of training to expose as many bud sites as possible by day 21 of flower will be beneficial.

Thanks for stopping by this little "low tech" grow of mine. Brought to you by scrap wood, duct tape and tye wire.

If your wanting a fast 8 week strain to bank some bud so those 12 week gals can take their time GG6 will give you just that. 9 days in flower and she is already showing. Those really are white LOL

I bet your cupboards full of jars looking good JJ.

If I could figure out how to store long term in flower form the cabinets might have something in them. For now it's wax and coconut oil lol.

id try those vacuum sealed bags or that vault stainless steel jars jj .I’ve kept mine just in those glass jars with a rubber sealed glass flip lid for a yr no probs.I don’t like storing it much longer than that though..

 

[SSgrower]

I too have the 1/2 pound, never measured, jars with the metal pull-down sealer. I understand a year is about the limit without freezing,huh. Cheers Max & JJ. SS

I'll have to try the vac seals Max. I've got one of those machines somewhere. Never did use it much so it should still work, it's been sitting for 20 years lol forgot about it.

I've tried mason jars and heat sealed bags. Both get stale

Cloning day. Like most things regarding cannabis, there's lots of styles. Here's mine:

healthy mothers, or it's a waste of time

I want 2 leaf nodes below the surface. Preferably one in the rock wool and one at the bottom.

I split the rockwool 1/2 way through, insert cutting then a liberal injection of clonex

I flood and partially fill with hydroton, sit cutting then fill.

If it's a hard to clone genetic line, or I need cuttings without 2 nodes then I will very gently scratch the stem

I clone without direct light. 14 days then give it some rays.

it's not a perfect system but it is consistent. 7/8 is the norm.
