Its been a couple of years since Ive been active so I thought Id start my return with a grow. I took four clones from my Hashberry/Lockdown mother on Friday 7/1/2011. This strain goes back to my very first grow in 2006. I had started some Hashberry and Lockdown from seed and about ½ way through the flower period we got hit with an ice storm. No power for 18 days and the temps dropped below freezing. The stress caused the Lockdown to sprout some balls and at harvest time I found one of the Hashberry had produced about a dozen seeds. I germinated some of the seeds and the resulting plants showed traits from both strains. Ive been doing mother and clones off it ever since.
Ive been extremely lucky with clones. I soak Rapid Rooters in water and slice down one side. I slice the clone at an angle, wet with water, dip in rooting powder and then fold a Rapid Rooter around the clone. Stick under a dome with weak light and a heating pad like so. I find its very important to keep the humidity high.
After about a week, this is what I end up with.
For soil Im using FF Ocean Forest that I mix some water into and then I let it sit for a few hours to warm up a little. Heres my four clones ready to go back into the cab.
Ive got two small cabs for mothers/clones/vegging that I light up with 55w compact T5s. I use one bulb for clones and mothers and then I start vegging under two bulbs and after a week Ill move up to three bulbs. When Im running two or three bulbs, one is 2,700K and the rest are 6,500K.
I plan on vegging for two to three weeks and which point Ill move three into the 400w flower cab and use the other as a mother.
