I feel you on the whole "somebody said this and my experience was different" shit. We forget this plant is a goddamn weed, and it will pretty much overcome anything. I was anxious about cloning at first because people said they had bad clone rates, but the more I've done it, the more I realize that others experiences aren't my own. Not trying to toot my own horn, but I generally go at things a little harder than most people, and as a result I seem to succeed more often than not. CLoning was this case. I found a method that works 99.99% of the time, and its simple as fuck. people just like to half ass shit and claim it doesnt work. you found what works for you. Have you considered cutting clones ahead of time? like when you're vegging originally? how long does it take to reveg from flower? sorry im rambling, took 2 weeks off of beer and its beer nights.

Ya I used to take clones of everything and as the feminized seeds started to get weaker I started getting spoiled running to many strains from seed.
I love pheno hunting even on such a small scale as I do it. But I have had many a “keeper” I wish I kept now with revegging I can save anything worthwhile.
I typically put the lower half’s of every plant I chop in the tent til I’ve sampled it.
After two to three weeks back in the tent it starts throwing the single blades and soon after new growth explodes.
I’d say a month to six weeks it will be ready to chop a bunch of clones from.

Just a quick update
I haven’t been posting as much since it’s been hot as hell and not much news to report.
The cabinet is sparsely filled with the next round of chucks. And will be harvested as they are ready with the next one being 2-3weeks away.
Going to be leaving the jjhp longer then I typically leave anything hoping that the seeds are mature and viable.
It’s been a busy year for chucks to stockpile myself and the pay it forward group.
Lucky charms f3
More cowbell x lc
Powernapdd x lc
Bubbaomg x lc
Landos stash f2
Jjhp x ls
Lc x ls

Next few runs will be unseeded and I’m going to try to stockpile some meds for myself. Time to get back into cloning and maybe monocropping to finally hit my unreachable goal.
First attempt will be a reasonable pheno hunt with some dank Sinatra f2
Here’s a sneak peak of the nursery

Figure I should find a good/great one out of 30.

I haven't read all this thread yet, but have you covered how you breed? I'm very interested in using my limited space. Do you just sacrifice a run and pollen chuck?

Ya pretty much
In this last batch I popped the 7 landos stash that I had left and grew them all out to about 18-20” and they showed sex.
One male was lanky and had no smell so I culled him and just left the other in there.
After being flipped around weed 2/3 the male started to bust so I removed him and brought him outside. Put one of those clear bun/bread bags over it cut it and shook as much pollen out as I could.
Left it outside in my shed to dry and then used a paintbrush to apply the pollen to the desired female lower buds.
That last step was unnecessary it seems tho cus all the plants in the tent were already pollinated.
It def makes the yield for that run suffer and shucking seeds is a pita not to mention smoking only budcrumble for a month but the resulting 10 000 seeds means a lot of opportunity to re run whatever it is u like.
I’m sure there are other methods and I’m no expert at it but it works for me.

sounds like you only had/have to do it once in a great while. I think after this next grow and the testers finish, I may do exactly what you did. I just need to get my stock pile up first as I'm damn near out. Thankfully harvest is right around the corner. I'd love to f2 some stuff to swap.

The jjhp plants are all down and now I’m just waiting on the tiny landos and lc to finish and then I’m gonna be running pretty much only dank Sinatra f2 for awhile.
So far they are looking healthy for the most part. Got a few finicky yellowish ones but so far the switch to organics doesn’t look horrible yet.

For anyone else running these in the future I did have two males show early and already removed them.

Last update on these til they are ready to flower. I’ll try to remember to take some individual pics of them preflip.
Got my early favourites already picked out but we shall see how they look in a few weeks to a month. I don’t know what it is but I love the node spacing on these so far.E23C994A-90E1-44E4-82D8-E204EF8E6129.jpeg DF9B0361-4569-4658-BE8D-4A2CD70504CF.jpeg 8411A54F-0F34-4BFC-90A1-D6C51A2D5D7D.jpeg

I have given a foliar spray and added some coffee grounds to the mix to try to green em up. Not the greenest but for my first “organic” plants I’m happy so far

Herer hashplant nug from the lavender smelling plant has really surprised me and gives way more sat effect then I was expecting. Not the usual effect I shoot for but I really dig it. Glad that i decided to reveg it even tho I hit it with the landos pollen. Should be a fun cross to explore down the road.C281728F-6D8D-438A-A106-6A4F8C0ED5E6.jpegGetting a small clone area set up to keep the cab and tent perpetually cropping out every month hopefully. That’s the plan anyway
Next up on the pop list is the 88g13hp

Thanks a lot
I know the feeling
Usually for me it’s a budget thing but I’m learning it makes more sense to pay upfront once then the 15 trips.
Maybe the girl at the store I go into isn’t as cute idk lol
