And the only other survivors...... They seem to be doing very well at this point. (Let us pray.....:wtf:)
The one in the left front corner is a WhiteBerry cutting taken 10 days ago...I think I MAY be seeing some root nubs starting but cannot be sure. The other three are White Widow....cut approx 4 days ago.
Once you see roots poking out and a noticeable paling of the older growth, you can give your clones a VERY weak foliar feed with a complete fert. I actually like to use the GH micro, since it has N [1] as well. Be certain to harden them off slowly. I'd separate clones of different ages in their own domes because while the rooted one needs a gradual decrease in protectin from dryness and drafts, the younger ones need steady humidity and no pestering. 24/0 light, don't open the dome unless ya have to, only mist when you see actual wilt, keep away from drafts and avoid temp swings.
Hmm.....don't have any foliar stuff to feed with....should I water with a very light fert? I can get to the hydro store tomorrow if you think I should NOT be putting any nutes in her water.
Don't mess with different ages of cuttings together......this is something I have been doing the entire time and I wonder how much havoc it has been playing with my failure numbers. I got into the habit of it because none of the cuttings lived very long.....so when one went down I just added another. NOW they are looking as though they may actually MAKE it :eek: so I'll stop mixing them.
Thanks for the advice. :) Can use all the help I can get.
You don't need special 'foliar stuff'; use the micro or veg base from your regular nutes but mixed real weak.
Mixing cuttings is a good way to spread rot from aging cuttings, which can and often DO get a bit of mold late in their rooting time that does not kill them because by then they are a little plant with a functioning immune system.
You MUST sterilize your dome between cycles of cuttings.
Use foaming antibacterial/antifungal bathroom cleaner. Scrubbing Bubbles or the dollar store alternative is the one to get. Spray on a good layer of foam. Allow to sit 10 minutes. Rinse off not too well under the sink sprayer. Don't forget to do the dome too. Using foaming cleanser, you don't have to really get all the bits of dirt off or scrub the trays. It pretty much sterilizes everything, including remnants of dirt.
Gotcha.....I'll draw the line with these and sterilize before starting any new ones....then do groups of same age together. I'm HOPING this dragon cutting will be a future mom....if she makes it.
Is the foliar a one time thing to do for the plant and then start your nute program? I'm EXTREMELY unfamiliar with foliar spraying except for my Reverse, etc....never foliar sprayed nutes before. :confused:
I do it a few times as I'm hardening off the cuttings, at the point where they first go into an actual pot of soil. I water with only plain tap water at this time, but give a light, weak, fert mist a couple times during the hardening-off period. You don't HAVE to do this by any means, it's just a nice little boost that I have found helpful in my own cloning environment, which is now in the side light from a big halide, and as soon as they are rooted, my clones have been TAKING OFF and looking hungry early.
I would say start a reglar nute program when you see that teh clones have about doubled in size from when you cut them. That's nice thing about clipping the leaves- when you see 3 sets of leaves that have no evidence of being clipped, you're good to go- feed, flower, whatever.
Thanks Sox. :thumbsup:
at an improbability factor of 5739285 to 1 against....of course she will make it!!!
edit: shit im stoned LOL...that was a lil hitchhikers joke, me and stinky were talkin about it yesterday...sorry....lookin good WH!!!
All she really wants is a decent cup of tea, though...
did i just hear 100,000 people say whomp?
i've got a nice turkish tea,,, it will ease any pain!!
by all the negative ratings....not because I got them (although why would you rate someone's LOG negatively.....kind of like spitting on their diary of thoughts and creations imo) but that so many of the negative ratings came from people who I thought were e-friends. That's shaken me for a few days now but I've come to realize that the only REAL thing that has changed is the way I perceive these people.....they themselves are still the same. And what I REALLY don't get.....having made yourselves clear that you don't like my posting.....why in the world do you folks keep on reading it??
I realize that people like MVP and Crispi who were really up posters are gone and there ARE a few who are interested so I'll keep posting for those who care but it definitely DOES take desire out of putting in the effort to post.
I AM done with this rant but its been bugging me for awhile so I'm glad I got the thoughts out.
fuck em!!!! we are here for the long haul WH;)

Gee Weedhound, I think your threads have very good ratings, as they deserve.
I understand that some troubled people on this site have been using the ratings systems as a way to piss people off, but some of us who do decided to rate threads almost always make positive ones. Also, the occasional "down" rating can reflect the direction a thread has taken (sometimes off subject) and hasn't to do with the grow log or the person who's started the thread.
I wouldn't get too upset about the ratings anyway. And looking at the ratings compared to the number of "views" It seems that most members don't bother to use the system at all.
Shovl :hippy:
Well Shov you're right in that the first mistake is taking it too seriously which is why I only mentioned after it was still bothering me a few days later. And I can see why you'd take a normal thread (I think George Bush is the greatest president ever" is a thread that would be a good example.....have ratings all over the place and I'd be the first on the ratings button there as well) there but a grow log......that's just kind of your own hang out place. Maybe I'M mistaken about that but I kind of see it like ....."hey....i read your diary.....and gave you a C"
Anyway.....you are right that I am letting things get to me.....as I mentioned nothing but my perception of things has changed so that's my own issue. And you're right that most people don't use the system.......sorry.....some days I just a get bit down.
Here's my clones.....they're doing GREAT! I had a whiteberry one that I "dissected" for "research purposes" and found that it was indeed starting with some roots. I didn't keep it because I really don't want another WB plant around.
These three are my white widows and are about 10 days old now. They look pretty good don't they? If I can get a few of these to root I'd rather use one of these for a "mother."
I DO have my Dutch Dragon cutting and it IS definitely growing but the DD has been kind of a hard plant to deal with......even with my "oh well" attitude about it and while the buzz is nothing to be ashamed of according to the subjective bioassays so far I'm trying to find strains a little more "up" (Haze..:thumbsup:) than the DD is despite her 75% sativa heritage. She's more of a relaxing sativa than an energetic one
This is a pretty plant that I wouldn't mind just having around to look at but according to the breeder she is 75/indica and 25/sativa so I doubt she's going to be an "up" high (the ad says "relaxing" at light doses........hmmmm) She looks pretty indica doesn't she? Hopefully she'll make some good sleeping meds for Mr Hound.
Ok this plant is starting to impress AND surprise me at the same time. We looked at her root system and it was pretty full in the smaller bucket so we moved her to my second super-sized one and she has since grown about a FOOT and shows NO sigsn of slowing down. She's also on a pretty light dose of nutes......despite my chatter I discover she's only using a solution of about 900 and when I tried to take it up to a thousand she curled some edges down so I dropped it back.
THIS is the kind of plant I really enjoy flowering......see how nicely she stretches herself out to make the most of the lighting.....WITHOUT a lot of work from me!! Nice spacing for flowering......just the way I like it
I honestly can not WAIT to bioassay this plant!!! ;)
lookin GREAT WH!!!:jointsmile:

Ahhh you're just a pair of sweeties Stealth.....but thanks. :) That WW is getting kind of crazy isn't she?
I cropped that DD and I'll post some pics on the other thread but I'm going to keep the WW on THIS thread even though she's in a huge bucket now and as soon as I finish with the DD I'm going to put the Whiteberry in a huge bucket as well. :thumbsup:
Weedhound, how large are the buckets you're using, I remember you said something about 15 gallons? (WOW). You must have a lot of room up there for all that.
Lookin fine, as usual.
Sho
Hey Shov,
I went back and measured these buckets carefully. Completely full they come close to 10 gallons which is a LOT less than I thought. They look pretty damn large next to the 5 gallon pails so I thought they were larger.....my bad. They used to hold horse feed supplements.
SO half full they hold five gallons....which REALLY surprised me until I realized that a FIVE gallon bucket will really only be holding 2 and 1/2 gallons in a hydro setup and my little tan w/f's are only about 1 and 1/2 gallons they way there are used.
We're going to build a few more of them but we have to wait on the horses to eat the stuff first....
Yep- and the ad said that Enzyte was gonna make me Casanova.Quote:

'Bout a bazillion of em.
Nice plant, but a little picky- watch for mildew near the end. Loves her some silica. Not terribly aggressive in veg/stretch.
Great stock for bubble. Nice buzz all round. Beware of bong rips- you'll see why.
I had the best results running em SOG 1 per sq' flowered @ 8" (6-10 days veg).
Liked her best cut a few days early- little sleepy if it goes too late.
You're already seeing how light she feeds. Run the room a little cool if ya can- liked 70-72F, RH< 60%.
Consistant but not quick rooter- intolerant of high (82F+) temps while rooting.
Easy trim- you'll be leaving a lot of bud leaf on.
I've ran 2 different WWs.......and damn, i couldn't have said it better than rhizome WH...lol i took a cut at 55 and the rest at 63....later was definitely a heavy smoke!!
:smokebong:
whiskeytango
Cool, thanks you guys. She's really exploded with growth in that large tub. I will indeed start subjectively bioassaying her early. :thumbsup:
She IS a light feeder for sure.
Well, best not to start before lunch. :jointsmile:
lol!!!...unless you have NOTHING to do that day...then wake and bake bio!!!!

def sounds like the kinda smoke mr hound will dig, from what u've said. insomnia right?Quote:

Mr Hound is RAVING over that church plant.......knocks his ass RIGHT out. I'm hoping the whiteberry will be the "sleepytime" plant here and the WW more "cerebral" as my "cerebrals" need ALL the help they can get. :D
Rock signal me when you have bugs worked out and are ready to start with some real nutes. ;)
;)Hey weedhound. I would not let this rating thing bother you. I have this set to daily notifications as I am interested in what is happening in your grow, and relate as I am new here, so most likely will have MORE issues than you do. I really find this day to day log interesting. Just because there is nothing I know enough to add, doesn't mean I don't care,and I am sure many others are the same.Quote:

Well that is one of the nicest things I've heard in awhile.......thanks Jangel....you just made my whole day! :)
I agree with jangel. Don't worry, many people are enjoying your posts.
Shov
People? Fuck em.
You can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself. If you can do that you're far ahead of most of us. I gave you a thumbs up, but that's about as important as rep. IMO. It pretty much means nothing. I'll continue to enjoy your threads no matter what the rating.
Thanks Op.......and even when feeling all pity-pot about myself I love talking and shooting shit with you guys so I'll be here as long as other cool people are too. :thumbsup:
Not gone Amiga, just working 11-12 hours/day and not much time to post. I am reading your stuff as much as possible given limited time. Keep posting and I'll keep reading. And screw those that neg your thread, they suck anyways.Quote:

Weedy-
I always tell my daughter
" The best thing about being me is that I honestly don't give a f%ck about what strangers think of me".
Seriously, f*ck 'em- they're never gonna get it, and they're never gonna understand why they aren't happy.
Just take the high road...( and every now and then, lean over and spit on their heads).
