Total Noob using teas and I am a believer

Damn I need to go back and look. I am literally just skimming the 5 latest posts in a few threads not much time for RIU... Actually Red, not busy with the trim yet. Particularly the Afghan Haze x PCK will need a dry trim to be nice and neat. The LT x FB also has these spiky calyxes and rough leaves folded back over it so dry trim essential.

Actually been spending my time researching medibles for a friend and her mom. Going to go the tincture route with them I think, most easy to dose out in accurate measures. Also going to do some cold extracts with zero decarbing for her mom. Non-psychoactive, only terpenes and CBD doing their thing. I learned a lot in just one day.

You guys should have a look at this lady's work.

Probably a celebrity out by you guys. Never heard of her myself. The girl knows her extractions. All edible too. Kickass.

I swear by the cold extractions MH. I have a couple patients that can't/don't want to get "high", and a simple dry-ice sift infused in to room temp coconut oil has worked wonders for them. Don't discount the therapeutic value of THC rich plants. THC is in the form of THC-A before decarboxylating/heating occurs, and is largely non-psychoactive. I'm a believer in the "entourage effect" aka the full spectrum of canabinoids working in synergy. I usually do a half ounce of cbd rich flowers, and a half ounce of THC rich flowers, sifted and then added to 2 cups of coconut oil. 5ml dose in the am, and 5ml in the pm. The gel capsules work well for dosing as well and you do not have to heat up the coconut oil to measure it out this way.

Ohio State sucks in the tournament. Out in the first round. Good grief. Shameful for a school with that much coin wrapped up in the program.

Lot's of money! I was reading an article the other day ...... did you know that the highest paid public-sector employee in the state of Ohio is Ohio States head football coach, and the second highest is their basketball coach? This is true of most states.

All of this money that these schools and coaches make, and yet if they catch a player signing an autograph for $20 he has to deal with a huge shit-storm. Never made sense to me.

Remember Terrelle Pryor? Poor guy. Kicked out of school for exactly what you are talking about. That cost him a heisman and us a national championship. It's so fucked. You should have seen the shit that happened while I played there. Tovar picked me up in a brand new Buick Lesabre. I knew it was on at that moment.

Can we not talk about Ohio...fucking Yuckeyes kill me.

Stow, what water do you put in your ez cloner? Do you PH it or foliar?

Ya know red, I don't do shit to the water. Cool water straight out of the tap. The only thing I do is a pitcher full of ice every 3-4 days. I find that the pump really heats the water up too much, so adding a bit of ice counters that. As for the water, you don't really need to worry about much of anything imo. My theory is that the chlorine in tap water keeps the pump and reservoir clean. This has worked like a charm for me for years.

I don't know how many buckeye games that had made me break something or cry.

My alma mater kicked some serious ass in round 1. Score one for the underdog!

I bet Gand. You guys must have been treated like rock stars there.
 
I need to get my mind of the Buckeye game.

So I setup my 'EZ Cloner' and followed directions to a T...all while feeling I could have built one twice as good for half the price. Oh well. I quarantined every utensil including a pre shower, scathed the last inch of cutting, angle split cut, dipped in rooting compound, PH'd water (against my will), added the 'Rez cleaner' that came with it, and my clones look like saggy shit (the ongoing clone war theme). It's got to be humidity right?! I've never cloned without humidity so I feel lost without dome or bag. What am I missing?!

theres humidity beneath the surface, the cuttings get constantly sprayed. i suggest adding some silica to the resi too or just aloe juice. yes you could have built a cloner for $30. live and learn. rubbermaid, pvc, red sprinklers, pump. You can make neoprine inserts from foam at home depot cutting out using a soda can. or use net pots..

It's gotta be something environmental red. I took these cuts on Saturday, so it's been 5 days. I will have 6 inch long root tails in another week. Tap water, add ice on occasion.
 
^^^^^ nice stow. thats about how long it usually takes mine to root in soil too. Only if I use aloe. anything else takes 10-14 days.

Maybe I'm just spazzing over a 150$ overpriced purchase. Going against my DIY code here. I just gave the limp ones a mist of aloe n ProTekt. Splinted the saggy ones upright. We'll see tomorrow. Thanks for suggestions. Those roots look great!
 
I've had that happen with cuttings too. They'll perk back up in no time. Just keep an eye on the temp of the water. Room temp, around 70 degrees is ideal. Any problems I've seen people have with these cloners has usually been due to temperature issues.

Yeah I also want to go for the full spectrum of cannabinoids. I will be using THC rich types (that's what I smoke, it is what I grow lol). So having all the cannabinoids in their carboxylated state is going to be a good thing. I am definitely going the tincture route.

Well, first off some pics that might help a little mate. So, how far are your temps varying in the clone room? A drop of 4 or 5 degrees C can make them look quite crap for a while, but they will pick up again. What kind of light do they have? A little too much and they also can get saggy, and then also start making shoots before roots.

I am GUESSING it is a transpiration issue. Aloe foliar. Listen to Hyroot on this one. I did and I like the results.
