Anyone have experience with clone machines? I've alwas cloned using rockwool as a medium! About how long does it take on average to see roots?
I'm liking your set up Lacy...
ive been running the blue dream from west side santa cruz for a long time, and all the blue dream ive seen in clubs seems to be the same most of the time, unless it is "blue dream haze" which seems to be different... there is also a strain in the clubs in southern california labeled as "Santa Cruz Blue Dream", ironicly it doesnt really seem to be the same as my santa cruz cutting, but ive only seen pictures.
Ive heard several times that Harberside actually admits to mis labeling several racks of blue dream cuttings a long time ago (they werent actually blue dream)...
now, if that is true, then imagine how many people have made moms and distributed them as Blue Dream when in fact they are something else !
Anyhow to answer your cloning question:
i use a EZ Clone 120 unit for cloning... my blue dream usually start rooting after a week but it usually takes closer to 2 weeks for ALL of them to really pop, and i like letting the root system get pretty big as well...
i use clonex solution at half the suggested rate, and once they get some roots, i add 1/4 strength Rhizotonic or Roots Exelerator and they just explode after that.
here's a pic (i hope you dont mind me posting it?) of a 7 gram Blue Dream nug grown in Coco and harvested a bit early at day 53...
this was not even the biggest bud, i get them on every plant in my SOG (16 plants per light), followed by tons of 3,4,5 and 6 gram nugs...
maybe the santa cruz cutting is different because it doesnt take no 9-10 weeks. I know like ten people that have been growing the same cutting as me for years, and we all laugh at 10 weeks... its is completely foxed tailed out with degenerating thc at 9 weeks for my cutting.
Well, Good luck Lacy, im subscribed !
