Hi some guy... I'm not sure what they are.. I need to ask my dude down at the grow store. All I know is that they are brown, and liek a sponge. And they fit perfectly in my clone dome tray. I am now finally seeing roots... The plants don't look so hot though. I hope they live.
Yes, def warm and humid. around 7 degrees, and humidity aroun 80 to 90 percent.
I'll def post pics of the lollipopped plants. In fact, I am harvesting one of them either tomorrow night or the night after.
I'll post pics and a quick blurb about it here..-S

Hell all,
quick update time.
Super crop plant: Looking very good. The stem on the main growing colas are fat as hell. You can actually see them get fatter where I did my pinch and roll technique to break up the insides of the stem. As I've said, I hope that fatter stem transfers to fatter colas. We will definitely see.
LST plant: Looking awesome. I'm still having problems getting the canopy to a uniform dimension. I want all the colas to be the same height. This is my first time trying this. I'm definitely learning as I go.
SOG clones: Well, as I said in previous posts, the first clones don't seem to be doing so well. I took 5 new clones last night. I don't think this will set me back on my time schedule at all. I'll just end up putting them in last. I wanted them in earlier than that, but oh well.
Control plant: she's beautiful. Growing big and healthy. Already showing some nice flowers.
Pics are below. You can tell what is what, since I labeleled them all. The last pic is of a flower that I just thought looked really pretty.

dude do you have your rockwool sitting in water in that cooler? That could be why they're not rooting well. You're supost to just keep the rockwool nice and moist not sitting in water. The rockwool doesn't get dry so the roots don't search for water. Correct me if I'm wrong but just trying to help ya out bro

Good question Hardroc my friend, but the answer is no, the rock wool is above the water line. Like you said, I water them sparingly, and let the root "search" for the water. I keep the rock wool moist at best, never saturated...
Thanks for the suggestion tho dude!

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm stoked to hear that my DIY res's inspired someone....anyone, heheheh... I have a bunch of pics, and updates ready.. I'm harvesting a plant right now. I'll take some pics of it as well, and do an update tomorrow. Just got to stop being lazy and get my ass on here and do some typing.. heheh.
by the way, the super cropped plant is doing so good!! The stems are so friggin thick from me squeezing them. I hope those buds are fat fat fat..

Hey snutter, I hope everything is good. Just dropping by to share some things..... Got a 4x4 tent that I've been testing with a couple small plants from the last grow and no toxicity issues after a week being in there with an open 400w. Got a sweet 600 on the way and made some 3 plant 18 gallon totes. Going to keep up on the Lucas formula for nutes. Also, took 3 clones a week ago off a XXX OG plant I was testing with Lucas in a 5 galling bubbler. Gunna take another 3 clones tomorrow and hopefully in two weeks we'll be doing a full lucas dwc under a digital 600w! All this is possible after reading your threads. So I guess the long and short of all this is, "thank you". I'll keep u posted whenthe grow is on and hopefully you can help I we have any issues. Gotta love being legal in CA!
Keep up the good work, bro!
Keep up the good work, bro!

Hello all,
I first want to apologize for such a long time between updates. I've been too busy to do them, or when I had time I was just too stoned or too exhausted. Any ways, things have calmed down and I will be doing very regular updates again. I hope that you are all still with me, as this grow is going very very welll.
Updates:
Control Plant: I have harvested the control plant. It had a 5 week veg period and yielded 5 ounces of dry weed. I can't wait to compare it to the other 3 grows.
LST Plant: The LST plants have been moved for the veg room and are now in the flower room. I did 2 LST plants, veg'd 3 weeks, and have them both in 1 DWC reservoir. I think this should yield around 5 oz's as well, but with less veg time.
Super Crop plant: I have HUGE hopes for the harvest/yield of this plant. The cola stems are HUGE from me doing the smash technique. I really hope that this transfer to larger buds on the colas. I'm shocked at how thick some of the stems are on the colas. Gonna be cool.
SOG/SCROG plants: I deceded to go with SOG, and not SCROG. I tood 5 clones that rooted in 11 days and went straight in to one DWC reservoir. I will VEG these for no longer than 3 weeks, perhaps less. They are growing like wild fire. My hopes is that each plant will yield 1.5 oz's. If that happens, then I will get 8 oz's of weed per reservoir. That will be the most efficient use of my reservoirs and space, if that is the case. What I REALLY like about this style is the short amount of veg time. And, I also like that fact that I don't have to let the plants get very large. This is good because the light will cover the 5 plants in one reservoir a lot better than it does one huge plant. I've noticed that with one big plant, the outside colas get a lot less light, and there for do not get as big. However, with 5 small plants in one reservoir, the light is able to cover all of them VERY well. This is my favorite of all the experiments so far.
Below are some pics. These are a week or 2 old, depending. I will take more pics tonight and add them as another update so that you can all see the difference in growth from the last 2 weeks..
I'm very glad to be back. I've missed posting here. I'll be around a lot more often, friends.

PS
the 2 seedlings are bag seed from a friend. The weed they came out of was KILLER. The leaves are big and fat. I'm sure that this is an indica dominant strain.
I will add more pics of the LST plants, the SOG plants, and the super crop plant as well. I need to find them on the computer first.. heheheh. The bud pics that you see in the pics are from the control plant harvest.

Hello All,
Here's tonight's pictures as promised.
LST Plants: They are in flower and looking strong. I tried to get 10 colas per plant, and believe I succeeded. maybe have more. We'll see.
SOG plants: They are growing VERY fast. They've only been in that Reservoir for a week.. Shorter than I thought. I'm getting 3 inches of growth PER NIGHT!!!! Hell yeah!!!
Super Crop: She's in flower. She's kicking ass! What else can I say that I didn't say in my last post.
Also, I want to mention the picture of the 5 plants in one reservoir that look like DEATH... hahhahah... Well, 4 of the 5 were actually almost dead. They were clones that I took, and I had absolutely no containers to put them in. There was nothing I could do but wait to get some more mesh baskets (grow store was out). By the time I was able to do anything with them, they were on the brink of death. I don't know if it's possible, but I'm doing my best to bring them back to life. Especially the little one in the middle. She's actually showing small signs of life. We'll see. I'm saying that they all will live... My brother isn't so sure... heheheh.
And now for the pics. You can tell which is which when you open them by the way I labeled them.
