Drinking from a Cattle Trough

some more roots. Was curious just where the strongest area for root growth is on a clone? removed the roots even with the cut stem, Seems roots don't care what part of the cutting you put clonex.

Yesterday was 18 days for the clones, got this shot before thinning out. 12 in / 12 out. Cloner is slower than the aeroponic I built but its consistent which ill take over speed anyday. DSD 3 went from 9 to 6, first 2 out were easy but the 3rd out was a toss up.

You have some well known strains in your line-up this run and last, that is one of my goals, thanks for the views, Cheers SS

Thanks @SSgrower. Couple more genes in waiting then I'll be looking for a new seedbank. Your more than welcome to some T-SP seeds if "debbie" ever wants some company. Had a Golden Leaf hermie one sack in a grow with California Dream. The seeds came from the cross, not from GL. I'm cracking one a month, take 2 clones then sex. Just a fun side project.

Thanks for the offer, I am in Texas w/ P.O.box and I'll run better seeds @ the drop of a hat. Watching six young plants to sex soon as they are hydro bag seeds. Thanks JJ

Looking at plants every day it's hard to see any change. I took some shots of a single clone @ 3 day intervals.

Why would be the first question most might have. I add nutrients and light to a fresh cut clone when she tells me she is ready. She can't talk very loudly so I have to listen carefully.

Part of this "art" is to listen and see the plant as is exhibits the signs of health or lack thereof, it's a skill acquired thru experience. They are looking good! SS

YouTube and forums are great, use both daily but there's just some things only experience will show you.

[jadins_journey]

The part of experience we wish didn't exist is what makes it so valuable. All those times shit just didn't go our way. Dead clones, I've got lots of those pics, bud rot, germination failures and the list goes on. Try to figure out what went wrong and try again and again.

I was trimming up a clone last batch and I dumped the whole damn thing. There are several rocks in a 5" pot lol. I needed a shelf but I don't have any more room. It needed to be removeable or foldable similar to the trim table. Added a magnet for tool storage and it's working out well so far. That's the next mother getting a trim job.

jj

 

[SSgrower]

Custom built grow boxes, and the magnet is a cool idea. Going all out is what I wanna do but I lay low on the coastal bend, come on down fishing sometime as I have friends with bay boat skills, grow is lookin good,Cheers SS

The goal was to build a perpetual grow. 3 flower chambers built on top of 4' x 12' frame. For the first several months I used one of the 3 for veg until i could figure out where there was room for a separate veg. The entire dimensions for the room is 7.5' x 15.5'.

Each chamber has a 1k air cooled HID and a 4" fan/filter. Air from the lights is pulled from and dumped back into the detached garage this room is in. The air for the chambers is recirculated from the room all the systems are in. The lung room has gas heat and AC.

Really cool, I would just say get that pot on the left off the floor, but its your thing. I like the insulated wall, wondering if reflectivity is also part of your success here. Lots of hard work -- and no wasted motion...

Thanks @sambapati those pics are from the very start of this grow, many things have changed since then. The foam board was a cheap covering for brown panel walls. Reflective probably not much but there is some insulating value

I was enjoying a wake-n-bake and had one of those stoner moments that actually worked out. I was reflecting on the countless numbers of clones I'd killed and how I could stop the cycle. There was no dedicated cloner time. One self taping screw and some scrap plastic and the individual cloner was created. I will eventually kill a clone with this method but so far it works, repeatedly. It's down fall is the transition to full light. The easiest method is to put her in the shadows. Cover it for 14 days then gradually let the light in.

The T-sp is a strain you are working on? I got on Leafly and researched most all others but that I am not familiar with. Cheers SS

yes that's my mystery seed. Had a Golden Leaf Hermie one sac in a grow with California Dream. T-SP (Tegridy by South Park) are the seeds from the Cali.

[SSgrower]

Heard a little bout the Cali, reading threads about Golden leaf, Cheers as I am about ready to flip into 12/12. SS

 

[sambapati]

Will you go with a darkness period prior to the flip SS ?

[SSgrower]

Yes, as of 6 o clock pm yesterday I will let them "rest" until about 6 am tomorrow then flip I will. If I have 6 gals they will fill the tent, and work me hand watering,Lol. SS
