Good eye, yeah the first round of cuts I took molded on me. Since they were cuts coming inside from outdoors I wash them down quite heavily with sulphur to make sure I'm not bringing anything unwanted in to the garden. In that case, I didnt let them dry enough before I put the dome on, so had to take a second batch of less than ideal cuts. But theyll make a perfectly good plant still. The genetics are there.

Dirtbag, what is your opinon on using tops? I like the idea of multiple branches early on, but from my experience they do take a little longer to root. The trade off seems to out weight the longer root time IMO.

Oh for sure, Ideally I use only the biggest healthiest top cuttings for a production run. The cuts taken lower down the branch or plant would just be for making up numbers or keeping genetics in the case my cuts go moldy lol. I havent noticed that they take much longer to root. I've never really been an advocate of taking cuts from smaller lower growth. I cut big healthy tops whenever possible, like the clone on the right in the front of that pic.

Huh. I have always cut the lowest growth but mostly to keep yield on the soon to flower mom.

I never rooted a top for some reason. I will try it.

Mimed please give it a try. I have found that the structure of the clone is greatly improved by using tops. I would be curious to find out your opinion.

I keep putting it off and putting it off... Need to get these transplanted into their forever homes tonight. Lookin like they need a feed, they're admittedly a bit neglected. Nothing they wont pull out of, just needs some attention.

Lol you're half right. It's for sure lacking ca, and food overall. I've been super stingy with the feed, if I mix low dose I dont need to muck with ph so I try and get away with it as long as I can. Which is about 4 days ago lol.

Also, clearly, I got a runt. It's no fault of the breeder, that one actually never escaped its seed shell and had to be manually removed under extreme duress lol. Never recovered. Surprised it survived honestly.

Never used it but I don't think I would like it. I just imagine it holding to much moisture for my liking.

How did you find the difference in growth rates from coco to rockwool? Maybe I just see it over saturated a lot on here.

Every successful rockwool grow I have seen is automated. Heavily. I think its like top fuel dragsters. Fine when its tuned, but blows up real good when something is just a little fucked up.

In their new homes and they've got some color coming back after a good feeding. Need to get tbe irrigation up and running. Also pulled the one runt of BMS and replaced it with a clone of dragon cheese, you can tell which one it is front left of center. Finally back on track.
The dragons garlic breath is looking like its gonna be a big structured plant.

Also dawned on me that it's a bit of a bonus doing the phenohunt of reg seeds in these 1 gal coco pots. I can just pack the room for veg and pull the males without ever having to worry about transplanting, Instead you just give them more waterings as they get bigger. So I should still be able to get a decent fill on the room even with male pulling, that's my hope anyway. Timing should work out perfect so I can pick the nicest looking ones and put them outside to flower and collect the pollen from them.
