Why are you using rockwool? It sucks! Rapid rooters are way more forgivable. ..

This was actually one of the first issues I had to deal with..

And then my clone tent... small diy dwc cloner...

when do you take your clones?

I sometimes use it. i like the 4" blocks because its a 8" net pot do it keeps the plant sturdy. this time i didnt use it. i used the rapid rooter and havnt had any issues. i got thick ass stalks. size of my forearms

Do u clone bare root? Or do u use rockwool?

When ever I want. There is tons of clones on my mother's to be taken. I usually rake my clones 30 days before I plan to put them in flower. I will root them and veg them in the cloner. I will even top them in the cloner.
Also if you look most of my clones were taken as topped tops.. so they get 2 tops already and will have 4 when I move them to my system. ..

Yes a old cat here taught me ...
He said throw away the rockwool and get the rooters. Never had a problem since.
Even tho now I'm into bare root cloning... personal reasons that have to do with top feed and rooter wanting to get to wet. It's only something I deal with for a couple weeks but it's a problem I don't plan to have to deal with any more.

Very nice. i asked becuz i take my clones 21days into flower. my buddy taught me that and let me tell you you will get like 20 tops by doing that. no need for topping if u do that. have u done that? i was skeptical at first and then i was blown away

No I havent. Since its started to flower it would have to reveg and root at the same time.. why does it end up with so many tops. I don't guess I understand how it works...

Well there is a lot of time spent waiting for them to revel and clone. He stated several weeks.
In 4 weeks I can have a pretty good canopy with lst too...
I have to study it more...

One thing is for sure... I will try it! I'm about finding out things for myself.

same here. do soil you will kill your plants if you do hydro! F that my first grow was hydro and I was successful. i actually ran 4 diff strains in my rdwc system. lets just say I learned a lot and harvested nice buds. im still learning and im still trying to perfect my drying and curing cause if u fuck up your drying and curing then your grow wont be perfect

Without a doubt! The drying is where you make it or break it. Curing is pretty simple.
I kept drying to quick. I finally hung whole for a couple days then debranched, and removed fans. I then dried for another 7 days at 60 % rh...
And that was the money shot as they say...

Those numbers sound good! I followed up that drying with curing straight in to jars. Open once a day for a week then close for 2 weeks straight... then off to market..

Ive beenwatching and reading alot on cali & humbolt professional growers and basically they said if when you walk into your dry room and your nipples dont get hard its not cold enough. slow 2week dry 62degs 58-62% rh with good airflow just enough to move the air around in your room.
