Ok so here's my real week update. Still waiting for the sex on the last one. The two Ko are starting to show their sativa flowering tendencies. Starting to stack good.

For comparison here's my dwc 12/12 from seed with no root restriction.

Here last the new Ko lead shape.
looking real pretty leaves kind of remind me of an old nl I grew.

No change of light pretty sure that's a rule, why don't you have other plants going along side your cup entry?
I'm harvesting my three remaining flowering plants this weekend and I don't have any more vegged. My small veg cab is going to be used for revegging the soon to be harvested plants to keep as mothers, but that'll be a long process.

So I could finally have people over and overall have less to worry about, might finally travel somewhere. :)
Make sense. I have my systems setup so I can travel as long as it's less than a month I'm good. And don't have many people over anyway, but I could totally see how that is. Well, hopefully you can feel safe growing at somepoint.

Weedzilla is coming along just fine. Just wanted to give @Black Thumb a warning that I'm bringing my A game. Just hope this bitch don't hermie on my but with cookies on both side I just don't know. @Alienwidow whats going on with your girl?View attachment 3633062
.....ummm...aaah.....mine just got its third set of leaves.:lol: its only like four inches tall and still barely alive. Weedzilla would probably easily destroy it by squeezing her butt cheeks together on it. I was hoping it would take off once it got a couple roots in the water but its taking longer than i figured. Thats proooobably because i had the little air stone in there pumping out so much air that it was dissolving the roots as they were growing out of the basket. Kinda like when you singe off all your ass hair when you light your farts on fire....you know what im sayin?! So i turned down the air powered root pruner and maybe now it will take off if im lucky. I also jumped the ppms up to 400 because its a little on the yellow side. But besides all that, if you were aiming for a teeny struggleing yellow come from behind long shot, then its perfect. I mean it did have three 90 degree bends in it and was laying across the rocks like a sundried foreskin at one point of the race, im still praying it that I finish and it grows at least one gram of bud. :):):)

Air stones? Who needs air stones?
Rolling open hoses over in the OneHitDone tent :hump:

Hey guys I know this is irrelevant with this comp but I'm a soil guy and completely blown away by some of you hydro guys I've always wanted to try it. I have a 32 spot easy cloner is it possible to do 12/12 from seed start to finish I know the roots would be knotted mess but I wouldn't need to take them out of the collars till harvest?

Yes but I would only use around 6-16 of your cloning slots of you plan on growing them all the way out. And you need to change/modify the collars a bit so the stems have the option of getting thicker. They can get big (relatively)12/12 from seed in hydro though so they do need a little room.
the big one is shading the little ones enough that they closest ones are stretching a bit. F they're all the same size it's not as big of an issue.

Why not just throw yourself together a dwc 5 gallon bucket and avoid the mess?

That particular one happened to turn out perfect for the method, if you can find a steak that puts a apical dominance like this one with a good length flowering time, you can definitely do well. Some strains I don't know will take to it as well, but I'm experimenting with this right now. The buckets will be 12/12 from seed. The aero system is going to be a bunch of cuts I'm running.
didnt realize I was going to keep that kosher as 4/5 that I planted were not good and I ended up culling as seedlings. That one just took off. Just waiting on its cuts to reveg lol. Took them kinda late but just got tons of roots so I'm hopeful lol.
just watered and replanted so it looks a little sad.

I think 3 gallons are better for shorter veg times as res swaps are easier. But I agree with you. Totally get using what's around though. I'm cloning in mushroom Tupperware ATM.
