SOG growers wanted !!!

[trouble9039]

Hello everyone I am A fellow SOG grower and I love it! I had to take A little break, but now I am back. Things for me are running way to smooth but this is not my first SOG ( now I need A larger tray!!!). I have A total of 4 diffrent strains and it is nice to have A choice of what I want to smoke...... And I would like to say spakafire that is A nice DIY setup, I have almost the same setup for my flush station!

i say no...al may even poke around in here once in a while.
but on his thread they talk about everything under the sun/hps

we want to focus on our style of growing and attempt to streamline the learning process from newb to weed baron

Hello everyone I am A fellow SOG grower

welcome

and I love it!

me too

I had to take A little break,

well no0w we need details....

but now I am back.

glad to hear it...we were worried

Things for me are running way to smooth

well, just keep reading....we'll have you screwed up in no time

but this is not my first SOG

in that case feel free to add to the mayhem....

( now I need A larger tray!!!).

good problem to have, no
?

I have A total of 4 diffrent strains

too much for me to deal with i think

and it is nice to have A choice of what I want to smoke......

well, it's hard to argue with that

And I would like to say spakafire

oh shit here we go...

that is A nice DIY setup,

ok, compliments work on him...you might be ok.

I have almost the same setup for my flush station!

try not to encourage him, his woman will ground him from the forum

love the pics and the volcano btw

 

[trouble9039]

Thank u for the welcome bugsrnme!!! I run A total of 12 clones thru the tray every 3 week's! It is A 3x3 tray broken down to 1x3 sections at 3 week intervals... With A homemade flush tray made from A rubbermaid tub! The thing that made me stop for awhile was I moved and now I have A flowering room and A veg room!!!!!! I am now looking at A 4x8 tray for the clones and use my 3x3 tray for flushing! Also bugsrnme I have A volcano pic for u since u are suck A conisuar! LOL... This is what they call the vapor dome.

love the pics and the volcano btw

yo fellas, so i'm trying to clone and not having very much luck. This is my strategy.

Clipping about 6" clones with thicker stems. I scrape the bottom inch of each stem and dipping them into a cloning gel and putting them in rockwool. I place them into a humid dome and mist them immediately. I trim the branches off each clone so that only 2 or 3 nodes are left max, i also trim the tips of each leaf. Under the dome i have a heat mat. Almost immediately the leaves start to droop. Some of the stems stay straight but most droop. Its been about 4 days. Only about 4 of 24 clones are standing up right. The rest are all drooping alot but are still green, so it doesn't seem like they are drying up and dying. Any thoughts? I mist 2-3 times a day.

Are you placing them in a dark period for 6-12 hrs after cutting to recover from the shock??

If not then that is the problem....this is a required step to be successful with cloning. If rockwool cubes are giving you probs then you may check out my links. I have a little cloning info in my journal using rapid rooters....if not its the other thread....anyway it may help, if not then sry to waste your time

I had no idea i need to put them into a dark period. Shall i go ahead and still do a dark period since its been 4 days already?

No, the dark period is only used for a wilt prevention technique right after cutting. With RW the main thing is not to overwater and get a good stem connection to the RW. Since u have a couple standing up I think u are gonna do okay! Here are a couple pointers that may help u get a beter rate....
The ABF method uses a salad spinner ($3 at Walmart) to dry the cubes to the proper moisture. Cubes that weigh about 5 grams dry should weigh 20 grams wet, w/o the clone in there. Also, I make my own holes in RW with a toothpick, the other holes are often too big to get a good connection to the stem. Feel for the firmest point in the cube and make your hole there. Ussually the bottom sides are the best spot to make the hole. Not all RW cubes are good for cloning, its hit and miss, if u get a soft cube toss it. Like I say, u are right there, u will have this figured out in no time.

dammmmmmmm i miss my volcano with the vapor dome, it was the shitttt

Alright cool, i'm gonna post some pictures later. The rockwool cubes i use are really tiny. Not the same size ABF uses. I would call his medium size. Mine are the smallest size that fit into the slots in the trays of the humid domes. I may not have a good connection to the stem. The premade holes are usually larger so what i had been doing was splitting the cube and putting the stem in it. Sometimes it would tighten around the stem when i slide it into the slot. I'll see if thats the difference on the ones that are standing up. Also, do any of you guys use the gel? Should it be a thick coat when i dip it or should i make it thin and wipe a little off?

Well Sparkafire it is A great setup to use! As far as the whole dark period for clones how well does that boost ur success rate? I have never heard of that! I am gonna have to give it A try.

I always use a 6 to 8 hr dark period after the clones are cut. Works great.

Where exactly u get one of them vapor domes????? I already have a volcano. Would love to have a dome. I've been thinkin bout hookin up a bag in a hydration backpack with the hose coming out and instead of me fillin it with water I wanna fill it with volcano vapor. Then u got vapor to go

Thx, Custom for jumping in on the dark period reply......sry to post and run yesterday.

Glad to help, lord knows I need a lot of it, so when I can pay it forward I like to..

Lay the gel on thick. Some people prefer the powder cause it sticks to the stem better. I too use the gel now but I'm switching to the powder next time to see if it helps.

Speaking of me needing help.... I was having PH problems and after flushing the plants with 10 gallons each and getting no difference in runoff PH I got pissed off and flushed them with acid water (PH 2.5). This destroyed my roots. Now my plants are sitting with damaged, waterlogged roots and the plants haven't grown in a week. The new growth areas are completely yellow really have not grown AT ALL in a week. Before I started flushing them I topped them and repotted them taking out all of the perlite that was in there and replacing it with RW. That caused severe stress, topping them caused stress and to add to it I gave the roots an acid bath on top of that. They hate me and I deserve it, do u think they will come back still, since it has been a week, or could they be done for good?

glad to know that i'm not the only tard oput there.......lol.....here comes .....THE CLAW !!!!!!!

damn, you really tested the limits of those babies.....i hope they pull through

Dudes heres my second tub.These things are growing out of controll. What would be a nice strain that Doesnt typically break the 36 inch mark and knocks u on ur ass. My first tub had literally grown 5 times its hieght since transplant.
Also, I yanked the runt cuz i damaged it i believe during transplant and its getting dwarfed.Oh well.Yea some help on a strain would be great.Anyone have any idea if GDP would work out>?
