3rd Crop

Hey all, just built a new bubble cloner and thought i'd show a pic of the clones i took Sunday. They seem to be doing well. The front 8 are nirvana's NYPD and the back 4 are Grandaddy purp from a random seed i had and lucked out it was a female. The plants were 4 weeks into flower stage so figured i should clone for my 3rd crop. I might journal this grow if anyones interested. I'll post updates.........

If interested, i have less than $ 20.00 in the cloner...

It will prob take a a few extra weeks for your clones to root because they were so late in bloom but you should be good. If you have a seperate veg area I take them before plants were in 12/12 next time. Cloner looks clean! I gotta get me some gdp beans

Clones late in bloom don't take that long to root, I take all of my clones during flower to get a Monster Crop.

They grow faster imo then regular clones and end up being perfect for Scrogs and LSTing.

whats LSTing??

Low Stress Training

LST in horticulture its called an espalier. like a trellis or tying the plant to a stake or something

+1 On the cloner man its clean. I need to build something like that. I am gonna be testing out rapid rooter plugs soon, will give some feedback on that when I do. and I have 2 nypd beans left, i'm currently growing snow white from nirvana - I'll keep an eye on this thread, would love to see how your clones turn out.

Check out my snow white grow here, i'll be putting up tons of pictures too

Update: 2 weeks in the bubble cloner. progress looks good. gonna hold out a few more days till planting in solo cups deciding whether to try growing this crop in Coco.

LST is the shit man...I am a week out from harvesting mine, I LST'd them to be like an open hand from a tomato basket thing...Here's some pics. LST is my favorite, with the right strain and a good established method of feeding and watering etc. you can get a damn good yield off of a minimal amount of plants. I don't even know what kind mine is, but it's lookin' fire! lol

My method is to wait until after I top the plant at about 6" tall, then I let those new branches grow about 2 or 3 more inches, and I throw the tomato basket onto the pot,It will pull the branches apart and after a few weeks more of vegging, you'll see branch growing upward that you can keep bending under the bars...And I use some sting here and there to slide some branches over and inch or two and tie them off so that the baby branches next to or underneath them can get the light as well, and before yu know it, you've got multiple colas....I'm only using like 400watts of CFLs...4 55wat/200watt equivilents and sometimes I throw in the ceramic metal halide to give it some UVB for the resins. no more than a 175 watt though, they get forkin' HOT....

Anyway, you're lookin good man, I want to try hydro next time. I'm an all organic man myself...

yes, i just use sticks and zippy ties. here's a pic of my NYPD 2 weeks from harvest

if you put tomatoe basket on with plant still short, how do you get lights close enough to plant???

I think he may be mistaken on what LSTing is? I believe he is rather new to growing(not that there is anything wrong with that) ....I think I saw his most recent posts?
By the way micadesgns your plants look great! I have small area and am very interested in developing some sort of training? LST may be the one?

You running just the T-5 floro's up top? Do you have another light as well? TY

Hey guys, I came across this post at the perfect time. I've been researching lately on monstercropping and it's viability for perpetual. Is cloning during flower reliable enough to use as a means of perpetual? And of cloning methods, bubble has the highest success rate? I'm getting ready to build my first cloner, finishing up week 1 of flower in my first grow =) Thanks for all of the amazing help and info over the past few months RIU!

Update: Plants are out of bubble cloner and in solo cups in Canna Coco. Gonna try it and the nutes to go with. they say its all organic.


8 NYPD's


4 Grandaddy purps. They already have started new growth....

any comment appreciated

Update: Clones are out of solo cups and in pots. Trying Canna Coco and air pots this grow....

looking good under the t5 man! mica your bud pics look fantastic! well done

E.

Hey, nice grow, nice plant, what nutes you're using with coco, cause I'm thinkin of coco and don't know if organic teas would work on it, for now I'm gonna go with peat moss, and mybe try out coco, what are you average yields cfls?

the nutes i'm useing are Cana Coco A & B and all the suppliments on the canna coco feeding schedule. Getting about an ounce to an ounce and a half per plant under T-5 light.

Update: Plants have been in Coco and air pots 1 1/2 weeks. I would safely say they've tripled in size. let me know what u think.....


Before

now 1 1/2 weeks later......
