[QUOTE="Renfro, post: 14715501, member: 1 are potted. They look so homely as they reveg from flower. I like to put a stake in before potting the clones so I don't damage roots later.

I hope you have room, my MC, Barneys Farm LSD taken at day 33 and vegged way too long. :)

Well i dont have space restrictions, i was just under the impression clone to SOG is the fastest turnover with great yields.

What would you do instead of SOG if you were allowed 50 plants?

I want to keep 4 or 6 mothers preferably.
Under current 8 gallon modules with 3 week veg. U will get an un comparAble yield to the 50 clones straight into flower. The 3 weeks veg will be wiped away by how much more you yield in each harvest. Like u will get 10x the harvest for only 3 weeks extra time.

: 1007445"]Well with a 4 plant limit I definitely wouldn't keep moms. I would take clones off my plants.

How do you start your clones and get good roots?? TIA

Well if space isn't an issue id grow a bunch like mine and harvest some really big numbers LoL

Really though a SoG is a wonderful way to go BUT running different strains under one light can make it hard to keep an even canopy. I like having them in pots so I can arrange the shorter plants to the middle where the light is most intense, sorta like a stadium. A trellis is good to hold the top colas up and keep pots from falling over.

When I grew Shiva going straight from clone into flower they ended up over 40 inches tall with big 20 - 22 gram colas. Id lollipop them at day 20 of 12/12.
My nlXchronic got tall like that on an aeroflo2 36. There was only 2 of them and of course they ended up being right in the middle. Lol. I had 4 strains in the sog areoflo2 36 and lollie popped 3 weeks in came out with 26-28 oz with 31 because like 5 didnt have good enough roots to put in the system but i was impatient and wanted to start. They never took off. I trimmed 2 times each of the first 3 weeks instead of all at once tho.

Clone machine kills it. Here ill try and post pic of day 17 in a 36 site off brand machine. They were in so long because its not my grow. Its my bosses and they arent hip to growing so i came in and took over 700 clones and trimmed up about 100 plants in the process. Put on machine thinking they would transplant when they were ready but nope. Waited until i could come in on a rainy day to do it. I charged 1$ each clone i took and 1$ each plant i trimmed up. They had 2 36 site machines and the rest i put in jiffy pots. Only 170 of the clones have been transplanted so far cuz these dudes to lazy to really grow and i had to do it. Going back today since its raining to do more. Wonder how much i should charge to transplant each one. Lol. Btw after 17 days some of the roots were 18 to 24 inches long.

Yep

herm issues
poor germination
slow growing genetics lol

ive read it all since i hit the order button lol

None of this was directly towards the gorilla zkittlez but numerous other strains.

theres 2 guys in the journal section running the gorilla zkittlez, so im gonna follow them closely, see how their grows go before i worry about popping mine.
Lot of timez hermies are cause by user error. Some strains are more sensitive to stress than others and dont take much to herm them out

Eew bro fuckin slimy lookin. Wouldnt put those in a hydro system at all.[/QUOTE]

Got 34 out of 34 rooted, put 24 in the tent, in coco, vegged for 14 days, I think it was, and flipped.
23.6 zips smokable buds. No problems during the grow, so I am happy.

Only problem I had was I had the water too cool when I first put the clones in the machine so it took longer than expected to root.

That is not a very good pic.
Here are a few in good light.

Spray Water how often? Nute levels and ph?
Use any root start or ??
Plant clone size when u cut?
link to your site if info is there.
Many thanks from newbie[/QUOTE]

I believe my final water setting was 10 sec every 1.5 min.
No nutes or pH'ing.
Added rooting jell when I first put them in the cloner but you do not really need to, it washes right off.

Easy and cheap clone rooting. Rapid rooters. I always get 100% rooted, no need for a pump of any kind. Just check them every couple days and make sure there is a little water in the tray. Use a dome of course. It's simple and no slime.
I'd sure like to know what I'm doing wrong, then. Cloning has always been a struggle for me.

I clone exactly like Renfro just posted and have been almost non-stop for about 10 years now. Always 95% + success rate, just KISS. For the last 4-5 years I've been using raw aloe right from the plant as my only sort of rooting compound, it works great.
I've struggled for a decade. I've tried different methods, different media, etc, etc. I just don't seem to have the knack.
