sweet. thanks gud. just what i was lookin for.

gonna try and clone one of my grape stomper bx's today...she is around 40 days of flower.

lol hemp. yeah i cant keep up with this thread much anymore...i miss a lot now cuz when i have 3+ pages to catch up on, i just scan thru most of it.

nice work hemp. 12/12 from seed by any chance?
The Eaisbaer were vegged for close to a month and they were very slow. Once in flower they shot up. Nevilles was only vegged for a few days.

I thought I read Neviles Haze didn't like much food during flowering?
I read the opposite and it is true. I fed them pretty heavy and still yellowing.
Raskal made a fortune crossing "The White" to anything he could get his hands on.
Like every other seed company out there. They all get their special pheno and cross it to everything famous. heh

my project for the year is apollo13bx x g13 bx2 and g13bx2 x apollo13bx. Think they would make nice parents.

ive been trying to come up with names. probably 0013. with the little gun hanging off the edge of the 3, ill make a logo soon. ;)

The Skywalker clones in L.A are on point.

Heres mine 10 days from pull, AM I WORTHY FOR YOU YET CZ?!?! AM I WORTHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY *starts to break down onto knees and yell at sky*

<<sorry for the blurriness i hate my steadyshot.

lol yeah blue....there is always someone out there that has a "better" way of doin it...funny thing is, most of the time, they've never done it before but they KNOW it works better lol.

[...]

who in here has flowered rooting cuts? do ya treat em any different than the veg'n cuts?

edit - lol oops, thats backwards...i meant who here has rooted flowering cuts?
Hey, I know what works for ME and that's what is most important to me, so ...

As for the last two lines...hehehe, I've done BOTH!

I put my rooting clones into the flower room as soon as they were past the humidome stage...and I cut a bud 7 weeks into flower and rooted that too.

As for rooting flowering clones, that one did take more than twice as long as a regular clone to start doing anything visible, but the roots sprouted in about 10 days. The top just sat there and looked ... boring. I almost tossed the thing out because it did absolutely nothing for over 3 weeks. But it didn't die either and somebody on here once said, "I don't give up till they do"...so I waited...and I am SO glad I did! I now have a lovely plant from that little bowl pack...

its my opinion that nug cuts (run dwc) need nutrition to make it.

imo, a nug cut is gonna be in the cloner a hot minute to bust enough roots for transplant to a cup of coco... some nutrition keeps them looking good.


if N inhibits root growth why do cuts (same strain) stretch more in flower when grow nutes are used?

if I use blooms nutes in weeks 1-3 , cuts stretch less.


there's some research out there on N vs. root development ...

Stretching = root growth?-------------------EDIT: things that do promote root growth are phosphorus and mycho's( and other microbes). Nitrogen does nothing for the roots, that's why they are white, not green.

root growth = stretching
stretching = root growth

absolutely... how do you think the cutting flowers?

how does the cutting grow?

roots grow first ...then cut grows.

after a certain time in flower (probably genetic) the roots stop growing & the plant turns to true flower making.

root growth can be directly correlated to stretch, overall plant height, fruit size, etc.

I'm sorry root growth does not = stretching. So many things can cause stretching that there is no way it is directly related to root growth. Then the roots would be the same length as the stem right? If your light is too far away the plant stretches, does that cause the roots to grow faster? Brand of nutes, light intensity, training, there are too many variables.----------------its common knowledge N inhibits root growth. Low N levels stimulates root growth. Of course the roots grow with N present, but not as fast. Nitrogen is only taken up thru the roots, then sent to the leaves to be photosynthesized. ------------ anyways, my XXX and G13 bx2 are here! Free crush proof tin too. Wanna pop these so bad.----------

root growth does = stretch

& if there's "no way it directly related to root growth" you need to hit the books.
the cut grows only because the roots grow.

& what does training have to do with the biological process that is stretch?

nothing.

nitrogen actually promotes root growth & the plant seeks it out growing in the process.

you want me to prove it to you? np.

"Gabriel Krouk&#8217;s work focuses on nitrate, a major mineral ion and the main source of nitrogen for plants, present in soil but also often rare. As a result, plant roots grow constantly in search of new areas of nitrate-rich soil. Mr. Krouk&#8217;s research demonstrates that this root growth is in no way random: on the contrary it is carefully guided by molecular mechanisms that detect the presence and availability of nitrate in the soil.

Gabriel Krouk studied one of these molecular mechanisms using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This specific detection mechanism involves the protein NRT1.1, which has the unique characteristic of being both a membrane transporter which enables the entry of nitrate in the root cells, and a nitrate sensor that can stimulate the growth of roots in areas where this ion is present.

This protein plays a unique role in transporting a plant growth hormone, auxin. When nitrate is abundant in the environment, NRT1.1 directs auxin transport so that the hormone accumulates in the roots, thus accelerating their growth."

*

enjoy.

& the first 1 to 7 days of weeks 1 to 3 is ALL about stimulating root growth in the presence of high N fert... or what we'll call "grow nutes".

by your logic... my cuts should never stretch & the roots be underdeveloped. too funny.

doesn't homebrewer run grow nutes into week 4 or 5 with killer results?

e$ko does for the first few weeks.

& i do grow nutes to week 3. this last tray i did 50/50% bloom & grow & got much less stretch and after dissecting a container... root growth is less.

Gud, roots grow in SEARCH of nitrogen, not BECAUSE of it. The LOWER the N. The more the roots grow in search of it. With excess N the roots don't spread as much. Your own paste proves my point. I could paste 100 scientific articles proving you wrong as well. The idea that stretch is = to root growth is ridiculous. With my t5s I can virtually stop verticle growth, does that mean the roots stop growing. I said, and I quote "of course roots grow with nitrogen, just not as well. Training also does control stretch. Notice clusters of buds directly above a supercropped knuckle. --------- no more arguing with u the info is there for anyone who wants it, they can do the research and decide for yourself. --------
