One big advantage is that none of your clones count as plants until you remove them...
if legal plant counts are an issue that is...

Dude nightmare cookies and buckeye hellooooo lolyea i think its gonna be great...i am using 1 teaspoon of slf-100 per gallon and i got a bottle of rxgreen life cloning solution or whatever to try sometime but for now im just happy i can clone!!! I was able to get 2 small ass cuts off of one of the nightmare cookies and a tiny one of the ugliest buckeye i got but both have lil nuggets on top..it was the only cut i could take with out sacrificing good bud real estate...its basically just to see if it works and to get a hang of things!!! Im so happy!
thanks buddy!! when dealing with cannabis are there any other benefits besides keeping your plant count down when cloning this way?Air layering is more common with trees... you cut around the branch, then cut around it again about 3 inches away from the first... cut a line between the 2 and peel off the strip of bark layer...

you can use rooting compound, but it is not necessary... mix up a wet ball of soil mixed with spaghnum moss and squeeze it around the wound... squeeze it tight so excess water runs out and wrap it in saran wrap or plastic with string.
once the roots grow through the mossball into the plastic and you can see them well, the whole branch is cut off just below the roots and re-buried...
trees are done this way, and I've seen giant clones from air layering.... not my pics, but this cat is turning one tree into a whole run ready to go in short order....

Thanks sea . would it be fair to conclude from those , that low doses of urea would have minimal effect on the microbes and yeild improvement is likeLy..??Microbial populations, ammonification and nitrification in soil treated with urea and inorganic salts.

I know this is a bit late but what i do is write what each cut is on a small bit of paper and wrap it in some clear selotape so its fairly water proof and i use the green plastic coated garden wire to tie each wee tag on a cut.peice o piss.youl never get mixed up again.So I was trying to figure out how I am going to label all the clones in my cloner so I don't fuck it all up and mix up my shit. I think I decided on puttin a strip of duct tape on2 adjacent sides and label on 1-6 and the other a-f, then just kkep a paper or dry erase board next to it and have the names labeled like strain name-b-3, strain name-e-2...ect ect...Anybody have a simpler or better way of keeping things separate or should i stick to this?
Your something else bro i tell you.great stuff.this post should be a sticky.I immediately thought of milorganite (ugh).... but this is not that.... and honestly, I cant really tell what it is... in one place it pretends to be a caps pack full of fungi and microbes, in another its a "unique combination of nutrients, minerals along with a proprietary blend of amino-acids that is GMO-free, all natural and wild-sourced."....
I wouldnt bother personally when you can cultivate beneficial indigenous microorganisms so easily anyways... you're surrounded by them... to me, thats like being stuck on an ocean and yet still buying a cup of salt water.
get some tupperware and drill tiny holes all over the top... cook up some rice and put it about an inch thick in the bottom of the tupperware... you can srceen the holes with pantyhose or something similar... pantyhose is rather cheap... now find a spot of thriving grass (dont go forest, wrong microbes... go grassland) bury that rascal for about 5-10 days and catch those microbes and molds yourself... (black mold is bad. start over. white/green/yellow are all good) //1//
mix it 1:1 with sugar/molasses in a new container, cover it up for 3-5 days.... when its all emulsified into a liquid, add 3x as much water as you have rice/mold/molasses... leave it loosely covered for another week... then strain the liquid off the solids and seal it loosely so gas can still escape until tiny bubbles stop forming on top of the liquid... (just like the DIY fish hydrolysate recipe) mix that with a bit of lacto, and I guarantee that you'll have the same thing only better and fresher...
//1// you can stop at the moldy rice and just scoop that into your pots to inoculate your soil with those microbes without having to go through the extra steps that makes it able to be stored...
thanks bro!I know this is a bit late but what i do is write what each cut is on a small bit of paper and wrap it in some clear selotape so its fairly water proof and i use the green plastic coated garden wire to tie each wee tag on a cut.peice o piss.youl never get mixed up again.
im so gladd you responded to this bc i never saw that he posted a reply!! thanks @SeaF0ur and @happy bYour something else bro i tell you.great stuff.this post should be a sticky.
Seafour knows his stuff with microbes and nutes ect more than anyone on here.if i had to pick a "grow team" seafour would be one of my first if not THEE first pick.im so gladd you responded to this bc i never saw that he posted a reply!! thanks @SeaF0ur and @happy b

I agree with you 100% The guy is a soil beast!Seafour knows his stuff with microbes and nutes ect more than anyone on here.if i had to pick a "grow team" seafour would be one of my first if not THEE first pick.
Whoa wait. A pro ganj team? Alright Hap who do you got? i pick @FlyinJStable for my team. Who you gotSeafour knows his stuff with microbes and nutes ect more than anyone on here.if i had to pick a "grow team" seafour would be one of my first if not THEE first pick.
My next pick would be @Power OGFantasy Cannabis Teams...lol!!
Now that's a fantasy type game I could get into. I won't mention any more names as i'm sure I would not do a lot of people justice. But Seafour is a fountain of knowledge. As is Flyin J. I wish our minds worked like computers & I could just drag & drop all their knowledge & exp into my head.
I have a good amount of exp of my own, but not with cannabis, & not even in the same league as those two names.
