On the whole genetic drift thing....I ran the same momma for about 3 years and only used clones from her. She was never flowered or revegged and the clones that came off her in year 3 were the same as the clones that came off of her in the first month. Thats all I'll say about that :bigjoint:
Wow...menthol...thats a first I've heard on this. Man Evil -you got me intrigued.......
Sounds like OneHitDone is steering you in the right direction!

I'll second the thoughts on genetic drift, have several phenos/strains and I cut the clones before flowering to keep my perpetual going, some are 3 years old and if anything they run better now then they did originally. Someone made a good point about this subject, they were looking at it from a large/commercial standpoint, cutting hundreds of clones regularly, I can see that potentially causing some degradation. But for us hobby/med growers cloning-the-clones a few times/year there's nothing to worry about imo. I'll probably get sick of the strain or replace it with something before I'd ever see any clone degradation.

Well, I decided to take cuts and top today. I took (4) cuts total from each GG. I took two cuts from the main tops on each girl, and took the two lowest branches from each one too as these would be lollipopped at some point anyways. I had to tape up #13 as I pushed down too hard on one of the top branches and she cracked a little but I am sure she will be fine.

You can see the cuts soaking in the pre cloner mix in solo cups on the tray.

And the newest addition to the veg tent security team courtesy of my girls:

Not much to report clones are looking good in the new flood and drain cloner setup. The veg tent is looking good too both girls are taking well to some light LST. In the process of upgrades to the room today was day one of electrical getting that 240 in here to get things done right. More COB parts should be trickling in soon too. I'll be putting up the COB for the 3x3 soon and when I feel these two girls have recovered enough from being topped I will toss just the two of them in there to flower under the 3000K Cree CXB 3590 light I will be piecing together. I will be playing with the LED's as well as their spectrum, and my thought process behind this is the same as what was going to be in place with veg under 6500K T5, 1st 1/2 flower under 600W Blue MH, then finish 2nd 1/2 of lower with 1000W HPS. Instead I will be testing a veg setup with 5000K Citizen 1812 70 CRI, and for flower I will first have the Cree 3590/3000K light built, then will come the Citizen 1812/4000K lights. So Eventually my test will be one straing through the LED gauntlet 5000K/4000K/3000K vs the T5/MH/HPS of 6500K/Blue MH/Enhanced HPS.

I will have some pics soon. Transitioning to bigger spaces and some DIY COB/RDWC setups since the test run in the closet tent is going well. I really can't wait to get my first full run in hydro from clone/seed starting all the way through to flower and see how it goes.

Thanks for checking in
Cheers :bigjoint:

Hey man, was it you or @WindyCityKush that I was talking to about bigworms blue kimbo not long ago? I saw Oregonelite has them for sale there! If it wasn't you guys, sorry for the stoner moment lol.

I haven't gotten my hands on any of the BK yet mo, but I can definitely vouch for OES and really only buy either from them, the gorilla, or Mephisto now. But, I'm pretty stocked on beans at the moment so it's time to focus on growing some of these out and keeping up with the grow and the changes being made.

A little more bro, I want the new growth on the big bitch in the middle to fill in more before I flip. See how bare she is where I spread her out up top? Now the girl on the left has filled in nicely, it's crazy this much filling in just a few days later and I never even tied them down lol...I'm also trying to wait and see if I can delay long enough for my driver to come in for the new LED light so I can stuff them under it and see how it goes.

My agromax tents are great for the money but there's no comparison to the gorilla tent. I got a good deal with growers house with their make an offer on the tent and they include the one foot ext so I'm happy. This thing is a tank and the zippers are butter.
