And I dont know anything about those missing chocolates!
My hippie neighbors just bake artisan bread that tastes like the incense they burn all day…I wish they would bring me chocolate instead!

The hippie who USED to live there a few years ago always tried to bring by hallucinogenic mushrooms. I wouldn’t mind if she moved back in.

These guys are old school hippies in their late 70s. They mostly farm and smoke a lot of pot, lol.

Damn hippies! Anyone ever see the Rainbow Family come around? What a circus, very entertaining.

I need to figure out a new cloning method that doesn’t involve water or pumps. This just isn’t working for me. View attachment 5050804View attachment 5050805
Had anyone ever mentioned the idea of pruning the leaf tips of your cuttings when you take them? And reducing the amount of larger ‘fan’ leaves and foliage on them to minimize their need for water while they try to produce roots?

Some people have all the luck I'm surrounded by rednecks and cops

Not yet lol. I'll give it a shot. I've seen photos of people's clones with the leaves trimmed and wonder why.

they hold about or just as much water as coco. The reason that coco has supplanted peat is 2 fold: coco is renewable and much less acidic as peat
I'm gonna give this a try side by side. I'm onto my third week of flower now, I wonder how likely a fresh clone will be to root.

Do you mean taking a clone from a flowering plant? If so, then it will be harder (not impossible) and less successful than a vegging plant

Yea, gather and hit all the leaf tips in one snip, like a hair cut. That will encourage root growth vs leaf growth, especially with the reduced light.

Your clones have lots of foliage on them. When you take cuttings, they can’t uptake water like when they have roots…so I cut most of the larger leaves off, or trim an inch or two off from the tips of the leaves.

I think it helps reduce the amount of water the cutting needs, and encourages root growth instead of foliage growth.

It’s not always necessary, but if you’re having trouble, it’s something to try

These clones were taken from a plant that was seven days into flower. They were showing sex but didn't have flowers yet. Could that be the cause of everything being slow?

Sorry last grow question in here lol.

Gonna try that now. There's a few big fan leaves that are almost dead anyway.
