Hi @ACitizenofColorado , I feel the gist of my original question may have been lost in translation.

I was asking @DonTesla about the vegging characteristics of a specific strain, being Bodhi's Sunshine Daydream. I have a beautiful sour berry example in which I took clones at 2 weeks of flower. I had zero issues with rooting, the problem lay in the fact that once the SSDD rooted, it developed stunted and severely twisted growth. This lasted for about 5 weeks (+ original rooting time), before it started to shoot new lime green serrated leaves. That's why a couple of posts down I quoted myself with the answer being to wait longer.

To add, I always lollipop my clones. It encourages much stronger branching and less need for support in flower.

I never use any teas, I just top dress. My worms do enough wee's and poo's for me to water in plenty of nutrients.

I'm big on mushroom compost.

Either way, thanks for your input on your cloning techniques. I'm sure we can all take something away from it!

:)
My fault man. I feel like an idiot. Have a good one y'all.

Its been like 3 months
vegged in a 3x3 under the 4200k yhen moved over and had a week before flip.
this was vegging while i flowerd the bubbas meltdown
and the crazy cali's i just put into dark for 72hours before harvest

I have a bunch of DB’s seeds. That’s where the SSDD F2 came from.

Can you post photos of the BM and CC? Or are they being journaled? Thanks brother.

Holy shit, son..
thats gonna pack up like no tomorrow..
reminds me of the 19 gal platinum we did..
please tell me you're gonna ice this one!!

50 lbs of ice, and shit, are we ever gonna feel the insane lung expansion
Regarding the ice...
I'm an outdoor guy, think ice water would serve? I'd need a literal ton or more of ice for this, but a few blocks in a 500gal res overnight would put the water down pretty cold...

I used to strip the mulch back and let the soil surface dry as a drought simulation (also to stave off root rot), but it sometimes causes wonkiness, so i'm trying to get away from it.

I would not do icewater, maybe cool water but no idea what ideal temp would be, 50F, 45F or so?

I like the slow melt of ice, myself. I also like to prep the soil for ice by dropping water temps for a few waterings before the final icing.. few degrees a day, then the ice.

Even when I use reservoirs and sips, I ice from the top to finish..
some strains react better than others, but won't hurt to experiment!

Please let us know how it goes!

Ps.

57* F or 14* C is the temp I like to use day the before before my icing.
Over the course of a week, I usually drop it from 22*C to 14*C.
On my cultivars that react really well anyway.
Then ice like crazy for a slow trickling melt that doesn't starve the medium of oxygen.

On the other ones, I don't bother with any of this, tbh.
Grandpa Jeans got me on to this, bless the homie.

Another trick to cultivate larger trichomes is to grow bigger plants with longer lives.
Food for thought!

Another one I miss.

Hope all's good with you, the Fam & JEC @DonTesla bongsmilie
Definitely!
The same goes to you, DB
Oh, man, what fun it would be to have a BBQ bash with you all guys one day.
Play the tracks from DP's Raggamuffin thread, grill it up all day, smoke a bunch of pink-anthocyanin-coated Gravy and OPG out of the probiotic organic garden.
