@Blue brother sure mate, no problem at all.

Do you have a heated prop or a heat matt?

How long they take to recover basically depends on the density of bud you clone making the recovery time flexible, take them earlier for a quicker recovery or later to drag it out.

Method is pretty std...
take your clones as you normally do at wk ?
Put them into your prop and maintain temps around 24c
I keep the lid closed for around 4/5 days then open the lid around 1" until see roots.

You don't want humidity too high for too long or you can end up with mold on the bud.

Generally I'll take two of each and keep the 1st to root.
Occasionally some individuals might take a few weeks more to root.

I'm using coco, initially I soak it with a mild nutrient 0.3/4ec, the soaking is important i find to prevent any wilting.

Yeah I’ve got a heated garland Prop, I usually find they damp off or get moldy before they root, what nute solution do you use? I’ve always used just kelp and aloe solution but I’d like to hear what you use.

thanks bro

It's canna ab I use bud.
Maybe if they're getting mold you could leave a gap in the prop for a bit more air circulation.

The coco specific one? I’m gonna cut some tomorrow, I usually get the odd one root when I try but if I depended on this method alone for preserving genetics I would’ve lost some belters haha! DOH!

Pgr idk much about them I'm a very simple grower, I've grown my fair share of weed over the years and was no stranger in Amsterdam but I’ve not seen bud like that before, or not that I can recall.

I thought maybe it was cut early then spent time in someone's pocket when damp, imo it's fkg disgrace for bud.

Fwiw after reading about pgr last night I did think well they're not all bad news, ethylene for example stood out to me.

Aye that ones linked to sex too with reversals your chemically boosting those levels and plants that are very stable like say cheese must produce low ethylene levels hence why its a bitch to reverse chemically

It's woth noting though that there are natural PGRs that are totally safe to use and don't alter the amount of THC or have any adverse effects.
Things like kelp (macronutrients) fulvic acid, auxin, gibberellin (GA), cytokinin, ethylene, and abscisic acid (ABA), coconut water (has a few of the above naturally occurring in it) etc...

There are a lot of strains that *look* like they've had PGRs used to grow them but are as dense as that naturally and have had hard manicures to look homogenous and 'neat'.
At the end of the day it's what sells and pretty weed and (to me) weird terpine profiles are all the rage with these fucking 'cali' starins and 'flavours' that mostly younger people are hyping about.

Pretty much anything with cookies in its make up can look that way ime super dense buds that could smash windows pgr or not

The vaults Edinburgh, the last time I dealt with them they overcharged but I'd pulled the trigger before noticing it.

Edit...Come to think about it i did check out gorilla seeds to buy them there, but I couldn't find them, I searched for skunk special but I kept getting pages of other skunk so I gave up, my eyes are hurting the last thing I need is unnecessary page's of seed to scroll through.

I looked at the vaults and gorilla seeds but both search facilties are pish, or neither would put skunk special 1st or even on the 1st page.
