I am kinda confused....are you keeping moms for future trees or for SOG clones or to just keep your strains goin?

Fuck if I know...

I can tell you this...

Right now I am not sure what dislike more... lots of plants or this ridiculous amount of veg required...

I am not sure I can justify the increase in the electric bill... I pay $14 a gallon of diesel to feed the generator... it's a big difference in my bill...:cry:

BIG...:spew:

Wow, sounds like your more messed up than me right now.
I am believe me...

I will be better for it in the end......

much better spot for the op...

Closer to water, electricity... the floor is not carpet... the vent system is way better...

Well... I built the first room while I was on crutches... it was all messed up... and in the wrong place in the house...

Deep breath full of juicyfruit.... now relax....
Oh I am knee deep in Juicy Fruit Mist right now...:lol:

That is the one strain that I keep ALL to myself... I might share at my home... but that's MY treat...:lol::clap:


Now, time to get to work!!! (me too, it's reservoir changing day)
Fucking A...

It's gonna start snowing here soon... the weather is already changing to fall patterns..

I am going to miss just taking my shit out in the yard and hosing it all down...:lol:

Water's a bitch to work with at -40F...:lol:



What a beautiful shot bro!!!:clap::clap::clap:

Well since you are sharing...you should share the diesel bill too, no?

Its good to have partners....as long as they don't just smoke...

As for the mothers, who knows? Are they chopped up or nice? What do you need them for? Why not just flower them after you have some nice rooted clones just to be sure that's your strains live on?

Where I live... EVERYTHING is shared... everything...

Out here in the Bush everyone MUST carry their own weight... no exceptions...

What do you mean "chopped up nice?"


What do you need them for?
So I can take clones from them ... preserve the strain in my op...

I have rooted clones of all the strains right now...

I am just not sure I can pull off the same yield..

I'd have to get 3~4 oz per plant to make it worth it... and I am not sure if I can pull it off...

Rock Wool, regardless of the shape, are able to absorb ENORMOUS amounts of water...

And they are really good at wicking... so if one corner of the plug it wet, the water will be distributed evenly over the plug...

RW should never be wet... damp is the word... a 4gram cube (dry weight) should weigh 25 to 35 grams damp (with a 5" clone included)

I wet the corners of my cubes for one second every day... and sometimes that is too much...

I can only imagine that if your plugs are allowed contact with the bubbles, your plugs are soaked, and will rot your stems...
Can you post a picture of your cloner?
I am not harping on you... but over-wet RW is the #1 killer of clones...

Why not just use the RW OR the bubbler by themselves?

I am really confused about your cloning method.. it's almost like having chocolate pasta... seems like 2 recipes got crossed....

:joint::peace:
Here is a pic of my little cloner i even went and got some rapid rooter things. I put the clone in that RW put it in the basket then in the tub with bubbles splashing on the basket, So you say i could use RR in there instead of RW? and im going to use RW in a tray also like you showed me

On your cloner.. yes... I say RR plugs instead of RW...

You can use the Rw by itself, but you may have trouble getting the clone to stay, since the plugs you have are split...

I see 2 way around that...

1- put the RW plug in a net pot, to hold it shut... and just keep it in a tray...

or

2- stab the clone INTO the RW on one of the halves... I'd prolly do that...

Well, I;d prolly get the cubes... but if you want to use up the stuff you have, you can...

Those RW plugs with the slit (macroplugs they're called) fit just right into the cells of a standard propagation tray and the fit closes the slit up around the cutting. The first time I used them I used twist ties which was stupid but effective. I kicked myself for not getting cubes at first, but now I prefer these.

Like this kind???

I can see that working just as good...:razz:

Every picture tells a story:hump:. I bought one of those with a high humidity dome and a hydrofarm seedling heat mat for 15 bux. I used to do stupid things to make clones with stuff lying around my kitchen but this just works better for me.

i have the RW blocks as well im going to try both if my girls can give me at least 2 clones each =8 clone's Im not sure how well they do taken that many taken from them at once if i take more than two bigger ones

I did the same as you, kitchen stuff, then the kit with the mat for the same price you paid now im going to try a diy bubble cloner with RR instead of RW and GB's way of cloning at the same time

OR nice. I just meant were they in good shape or are they hacked up from takin clones.
I'll get some pics a lil later...

But they are nice... AND chopped up...:lol:

I'm gonna keep them as moms... I believe I have enough rooted clones "laying around" to fill a 3x3 tray with 48 lollies...:lol:

I'm potting them as we speak...:razz:
