Roots
Nice. I ha e still not been able to get one cutting to root. I keep trying but Jesus...picky plants! They stay alive for a long time, but eventually they wither out. I've got rooting hormone powder (home depot, nothing special) but i still cannot get the little buggers to root!Roots
Yea dude. I’m hit or miss with the clones too. Sometimes a full tray takes other times I dump a bunch. Two clones right next to each other in the dome, from the same plant, one will root like mad, the other will do nothing. That’s why I take them nine or so at a time lol. Also I find that the heat mat with the thermostat is key. If you just use the heat mat they dry out while your at work or asleep. Mist every chance you can. Every once in a while give a squeeze to make sure the jiffy’s are not too wet. It’s fucking magic that they clone at all.Nice. I ha e still not been able to get one cutting to root.

Hey @oldskol4evet. What’s the ratio of water to peroxide for this step. Thank you in advance.hydrogen peroxide and water for 4 hrs soak then into reg water for the 24 hours soak then in paper towel in a cd case standing straight up,gravity make the root grow down and just plant hahah.
i have a bunch old seeds i scar first then the peroxide mix for 4 hours ,usally within 4 or 5 hours from taking them out of the peroxide water into reg water the vaiable seeds will sink to bottom ,if that matters if they pop a root into soil they go
Id be proud of that! HELL YEAH! LOLSo here’s a little demonstration/experiment: these are two Chem-OG specimens that were starting to over-veg in 1 gal pots and I did not have room for in the big bag. Since I’m in a 4x8 I decided I had a little room and dug around until I found some old 7 gal grow bags. I tucked the two plants into these bags in Fox Farm ocean forest only. No added perlite or castings or anything. I have given them nothing but water for 9 weeks. I also have not cleaned them up, removed dead leaves etc. I did stake and string them when they got top heavy. Here are pics of the plants and some bud closeups.
One thing I notice is that the Chem-og did not get the rich colors that it has in the big bag. There could be many reasons for this. I’m curious to dry and smoke this alongside the big bag herb and see if it is more “vanilla” or equal.
Anyway, I see a lot of people growing in FFOF. And beginners in many help threads ask why their leaves are yellowing. Immediately people call out deficiencies and suggest cal-mag. However, they are overwatering, or over feeding; the deficiency is a lockout. FFOF has plenty of calcium, Magnesium, and NPK to take (at least this strain) right through flower in 7 gal pots with judicial watering (no runoff). It’s not supersoil and this is not a grow I’m “proud of” or boasting about. We’ll see how they smoke and I’ll report weight.
Thanks Lemonhead. I used to grow everything like this. FFOF and just up pot before she runs runs through it. There are a million posts about FFOF and yellowing plants. Everyone always says “add cal-mag”. Or “more nutes” , but in a big enough pot FFOF will take you right through. The yellowing comes from over watering or over feeding 99% of the time.Id be proud of that! HELL YEAH! LOL
From what I am reading and seen browsing through here and alot of help from Buzzer777 I am trying to get it through my head to not do just that. Haha. It's hard to let your potted plants dry out before you rehydrate them. Especially a plant as precious as these! I enjoy growing anything but especially plants I love. I doubt I will try hydro. I am a soil man! HA! LOLThanks Lemonhead. I used to grow everything like this. FFOF and just up pot before she runs runs through it. There are a million posts about FFOF and yellowing plants.

What's up with Humbolt seeds? Were they old or something?Finally got two Humboldt Seed Co California Sour Diesel seeds to take. 2 for 12 attempts. Argh. Just took humidity bags off of them. I hope they are worth the effort and frustration. I’ve been culling a few plants out of veg that have been in too long. Making sure everything is cloned up and ditching shit that I’ve let yellow up.
i don’t know. 1st pack from them had no takers. This last try was 2 from last pack and two from a replacement pa k that Seeds Here Now sent and I got 2 to take. So maybe the rest of this pack is good. I’m just glad I got something.What's up with Humbolt seeds? Were they old or something?
