Yes indeed all is exactly how it should be. If it were supposed to be any other way... it would be. lol.

Man am I antsy tonight. (that word looks really gay when written (and don't ask how a word can be gay, I don't know)) Had an exciting night in Arabic class. We spent most of the time talking about the worlds religions. I'm sure you can imagine how that conversation went. Actually it wasn't bad.... unless you are the kind of person who values knowledge and intelligence. I could have puked listening to random folks talking about what different religions actually are and what the people believe, etc.

I'm hanging out with the cats waiting for wife to come home. Anyone want a cat? I got some extras. No kidding.

I have to be fair to my neighbor. There was a mother and daughter, each had their own little yap dog. However, the girls dog was much more yappy. The moms dog has a lower woof woof voice. The daughter moved out for the first of Oct, and took her yap dog. Praise FSM! I can absolutely live with a low woof woof. Also, I think the two dogs wound each other up. Things are looking up around here. Unrelated, but I installed an alarm in our house, so wife finally feels 'safe'. Glad that has happened. It's too funny, she talks of this "underworld" I'm involved in. All cloaks and daggers.

I got pics of the roots today and will upload as soon as wife gets off the phone. We have vonage and a slower internet connection, so when I upload/ download while she's on the phone makes the connection spotty.

It's crazy the difference in the roots in less than 24 hours.

What are you using down below ? I've been seeing a lot of improvement in my roots with this new kelp meal i've been using. And Zho as well. I'm not sure how the AN Sensizyme is working i'm thinking go back to Hygrozyme.

Now THIS is what I'm used to seeing. At least a half inch a day of new roots. I usually see this after 3 days of having clones in this setup. You can see why it's been frustrating that it has taken 4 weeks this time. Now if only the green bits of the plant would grow lol.

one thing at a time huh?

Heres hoping the Banana pops her skirt and lest the roots bust out!!
I'm hoping too. So far I think only the Dog's have popped roots... I want some banana lol. Thanks bro.

In the rez i got Cal-Mag, Dutch Masters Zone, DM Veg, and some Home and Garden - Roots Excelurator. I've never tried anything else. The Roots Excl is a new thing I've only used twice. Not sure if it works or not... but for $70 a bottle, I'm sure as hell going to use it. I personally thing anything made by AN has a cheaper alternative that works just as good if not better.

IT's got to be tiny amounts of each, right? Because it sounds like an awful lot for just rooting clones otherwise.

I have rooting hormone, pro silicate, liquid karma, and ph down in mine. Maybe I have too much shit too? I might dump it again, and try just the hormone and ph down.

i use tap water, it works really well. patience is the key with clones, i can imagine you have lifted that lid 200 times since they first went in there jig, maybe that didn't help?

atleast you are growing now and we can get to see the hydro growth rate on these bitches.

The DM zone goes into everything, has nothing to do with clones or otherwise. The cal mag is because I use RO water. The veg nutes are to try and get them to grow. I bought the Roots Excel on a whim a while back and now that i have it I might as well use it. There's pH down as well. If I had silica I'd put that in there too.

And to be clear, these clones were put into 1" rockwool cubes and rooted where they were taken. When they were given to me, there were roots showing out the bottoms of the rockwool. They 'should' have looked like they do now 3 days after I got them, and the veg nutes are to feed the little plants. Makes sense to me, but then again, maybe that's my problem.

EDIT: I did a few things that didn't start things off well. Protecting the root zone from light was one of those things I was lazy about. Thanks for stopping by ghb

i hear high nitrogen levels inhibit root growth, it could be the veg nutes or it could be something else altogether.

btw i thought they were cuts you were trying to root, didn't know they already had roots on them.

I get it and now it doesn't seem like much. I forgot you use RO and need to add cal mag. I've never tried anything to accelerate root production.

I think high N levels may have been part of it originally. I let the ph get super high and I'm pretty sure that's when you get lots of n being uptook (is that a word). Ah well, I should have been more careful.

I think I mentioned how little i know how to do. I've never had to actually root a clone. I've always started with rooted clones from either the dispensary of from a friend.

And as I said before dez, I bought the R.E. in a panic or something. I can't say it actually works.

lol, thanks bro. I do know how to grow buds. Bit of an epic fail though to take 4 weeks for rooted clones to grow more roots. hahaha.

It's good now though. We are on our way to dankness. I should probably get a video too for the youtube masses. Get a little hate thrown at me. Damn that place is vicious.
