Dirtbag,
noticed you took some different cuts for clones. Specifically the two on the left. Where you just running low on material or is there something here I could learn from?

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.

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.

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.
