i sign for my seeds bunches.
in the city you cant trust letter carriers.
Nor can you trust passer by-ers. In my neighborhood some of the slant-eyes are combin thu garbage lookin for cans and hidden treasure starting right about dawn. Alot of refugees and Vietnamese in the projects a few blocks one way, and a few blocks another way.... upscale condominiums housing doctors and lawyers surrounded by lexus and bmw's outside in the lot, you go down the street another few blocks.. it's a war zone mostly african-american and puertoricans. Love urban life. lol
...Waiting on my bulbs and 1000w phantom to go with my latest raptor hood. I'll then be running 4-1000w raptors in a 11x11 room. A camera is my next purchase and you can all see what I see.
You're gonna love the Phantom. It's my favorite outta my four ballasts.
Lastwood I gotta disagree with what you're sayin about needin a dome. The leaves don't matter. If u keep the humidity up or spray the leaves with a mister( I know you didn't say that) it actually slows the rootin process down cause the plants with take in water through their leaves. U tryin to get the plants to produce roots. So u make the only water available be from the roots. My clone style is super ghetto. I put whatever medium I feel like usin( rockwool, rapid rooters,soil,coco) in a cell tray. Take cuts, dip in clone gel,and put into medium. Throw tray under a light(I use t5s) and water once or twice a day by submerging the tray. Sometimes I even cut the tips of the leaves to conserve space. I barely ever lose a cut no matter how small I take it. I just got 100% on a whole tray in 9 days.
You're correct as you do not "need to" but increasing the amount of relative humidity especially in the first few days after taking the cuttings improves the success rate. Technically you could get a cut to root by sticking a cutting that has been treated with rooting hormone directly in a gentle soil like happyfrog. The chances of it actually rooting are much greater in a humid environment. I one time took saran wrap and rubberbanded it to the top of a small nursery pot and inside the pot were a few cuttings inserted into plain old jiffy cubes. I think 3 of the 4 made it.
I'm a huge fan of Liquid Karma by Botanicare.
"contains a full complement of metabolically active organic compounds not found in regular plant foods or supplements. These unique compounds are absorbed immediately and act as regulatory signals, activators or catalysts to produce synchronized and accelerated growth under all conditions."
I have gotten close to 100% success rate taking cuttings even in flower using this stuff even in flower. The only time I hadn't had great success is when I tried keeping my dome in the basement just recently as I think the cold in that room really f*cked me over. Just recently actually. They're all in an upstairs closet now awaiting primetime priority packaging.
Took cuts of
Heaven Scent's Space Princess
TGA's Space Dawg
Bodhi NL#5 x Mark Kastle's Talk of Kabul
Alphakronik's Jackpot Royale
I'll take more cuts as time goes on but it's time to start raising some mothers and gifting and what not.
This is the coolest place to figure out what to buy next...
