Okay so I'm about to feed the clones. I am not digging one Moby Dick clone, she is weak. She was placed in the back of the tent. I am almost definitely going to kill her. Anyhow I have 2 clones rooted of the Moby Dick with a 3rd monster cropped one on the way. Here is a few looks at the young clones and the one in question. And the rooting monster clones of Moby Dick and King's Banner. The monster cropped Moby Dick is 5 days older than the monster cropped King's Banner XIII.

Here is a look at the King's Banner XIII. She is almost 2 weeks flowering. I am looking forward to smoking a fatty of her. She will be watered today, I am waiting to see how she does in flower. I'm looking forward to smoking a fatty of this girl. She is doing well though, so far so good.

Just now I went to feed the male who is now being kept in a separate room. Decided to show a few pictures of him. As you can see he's starting to flower himself, good times ahead. Some white paper and aluminum foil was placed under him. I'm glad I never transplanted him and kept him in this 1 gallon pot. The time is almost here where I will thank him for his pollen. Than send him into the trash bag of death. I give you King's Banner XIII male.

Years ago I collected pollen from a blueberry. It was a single stemer and I had it bent over the edge of tthe pot and tied to pot with string like a bow. I lay a piece of sheet glass under it. When I twanked the bow the pollen fell on the glass and I scraped it into a small pile with a stanley razor blade and just stored it in a matchbox. Worked a treat!

Today this guy dropped some pollen. So we decided to start collect some starting now. And I pollenated a branch of the Moby Dick and one of Kings Banner. Orange string was tied to the pollenated branches. This is to remind me of where I pollenated them. 4 weeks and counting down starting tomorrow. The male served his purpose and was thrown into a trash bag and discarded.

Here is Moby Dick she is packing on weight and doing very well. She is spending all her time building buds and frost. She still has one light all to herself. She is on feed/feed/water has been since 1st feed in veg. This girl had one branch pollenated with a male King's Banner XIII yesterday. As did the King's Banner XIII female.

Thats a nice plant.
Do you think the Moby Dick is a big plant like the breeders say?
Mine is starting to stretch a bit compared to the Gorrillas, only about 2 weeks or so of flower.

Thanks Moflow and thanks for visiting the thread. No I dont think she is a huge plant. But with a good veg she could be, or grown out doors.

What lights do you use?

I have 2 first generation Mars Hydro 600w lights. I use them during the summer and fall. I use a 600w HPS during the winter months

Sitting with the plants this morning. I figured what the hell lets get a shot of this girl. She was fed 10ml Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur A, and also 10ml B. She was also given 8ml Big Bud and 8ml Bud Candy. We are pH Perfect so we just shake into a empty gallon milk jug and pour. I use a empty half gallon milk jug for my clones and small plants. This girl is doing great no issues thus far. But you never know what the next day can bring you.

Anyhow she is about a week and a half behind the Moby Dick in flower. Her rooted clone is doing very well, her flowering clone is doing great as well. Here is a look at the girl this morning 10.22.19.

Looking very nice.

These clones are doing great. I must say that cloning without a dome is the way to go. No dome no heat mat, just spraying the clone with plain water twice a day is the way to go for me. The clones in the one gallon pots are growing great at the moment. Hell even the clone that was going to get the ax is looking tip top shape. The flowering clones are still alive and they are doing good. I gave the clone cut on the 10th a light tug, and I was met with resistance. I believe it is putting out roots. I will check this out when the cup dries again.

I throw the dome over mine if they're drooping.
I had a do it yesterday. They are in a heat tray.
I used to use the dome in another area all the time but I've them in the kitchen now and they don't need it so much.
Mine normally take 14 days for roots to pop outta the peat pucks.
I've tried most methods for clones, water, soil, rockwool, perlite, bubbler.
Reason I use the pucks is I can fit 20 odd pucks in my wee heat propagator if needed but only 6 soil pots lol. There's always someone looking for spare clones.
As long as your method works, that's the main thing.

Here's the Moby I brought in to clean up.
23 days of 12 on 12 off.

Those pics give you an idea of its structure.
It's about 4" taller than the Gorrillas.

Here's the Royal Gorrillas. They needed a severe clean up.
They're squat bushes.

The Insides......

All cleaned up.....

For the compost.....

I'm using white leds. The Moby Dick and the 3 x Gorrillas are in a 4 x 4 tent. Late veg to mid flower
They stay there for around 28-35 days then I move them to a hut for the last 5 weeks or so.

Hope y'all enjoy :bigjoint:

Today the King's Banner and the Moby Dick got a feeding. These girls are doing great at the moment, no complaints from me. I must say these girls seem happy as can be. They were given 12ml Connoisseur A and 12ml Connoisseur B, 8ml Big Bud, and 5ml CalMag. Next feeding will be full strength 16ml Connoisseur A and B. The clones are doing great as well. We also have a StarCake female on the go she is only a week old. I am hoping for good things from her. The hairs have turned red on the branches I pollinated so we will have seeds

Here is a few pictures of the Moby Dick clone. This is the clone that was taken in flower on 10.10.19. She will get transplanted once she fills her cup with roots. The King's Banner XIII flowering cut clone from 10.15.29 is not showing roots yet, but I am confident she will throw roots by next week.
