3- Before manicure, after removal of fans
4- After manicure.
5- HEY!!! We're in the shower! Can we get some privacy?
Yeag's MTF came down last night @51 days.
Good bud density, easy trim, very good development on all bud sites... this is not a strain that gets a shitload of popcorn buds... every branch has a well-developed cola. Very nice! High five!
Check the knot of roots in the last pic. Thing is nice and sturdy. No wimpy pot plants!!!! BOO!!!
Bad news... I lost my last run of clones. We got a VERY unseasonably hot day, the room that my cloning setup is in gets SW exposure and has very large windows, and I haven't plugged in my a/c yet this year.... durr it's APRIL.
So temps got into the 90s in the room... prop tray is sitting on a heat mat... I imagine the temps in there probably hit 100 and well, whoever coined the term 'pot-roaster' for my tray-and-dome setup was DEAD ON.
So the next batch is getting rooted in the bathroom, that has blinds on the windows and is the coolest room in the house.
SHIT.
In other news, Plan B Black Indica came down the night of the 22nd and smells FABULOUS and got my fingers stickier than anything I've ever trimmed.
Oh you have no idea how freaking pissed I am to lose those clones. I have to get my flower room restocked since I've got 3 more plants coming down this week.
I copied this from a different thread...
xcrispi, I took a bunch of new cuttings last night using the clonex and rapidrooters and this time instead of humidity dome + misting, I made up the recommended 10:1 dilution of wilt-pruf and added ~4mL of copper based fungicide to a 20 oz volume of wilt pruf working solution. Then I shook it up like crazy and used it to dunk the entire cutting into. I also took more clonex in a dropper and sort of filled up the rest of the holes in the rapidrooters with it. Just an experiment, lol! What I noticed this morning is:
-no wilt at all
-some leaves are showing the signs of suffocation from the gooey wilt pruf, little dark translucent green patches on the underside of the leaves. It doesn't look too severe and unless it gets wose, I'm not worried.
My big thing is, I want to see if the copper solution inhibits rooting or harms the cuttings in any way. I'm just sick of mold, since my temps are so high at this time of year, and it has been a problem the last run.
Here's some pics anyway... notice how glossy and wet-looking the cuttings are from the anti-transpirant. I fear I may have overdone it a bit!
I put the dome on them at night just to keep them a little warmer.. furnace is off for the year and night temps are a little chilly still.
MMMMM bud porn, and a couple homemade water pieces
The big pink one is the Queen Bee. You can't really see the engraving on it, but it has hibiscus flowers and little bees all over, and a big bee under the stem. That's for Dutch Pimp, whose quote is in my sig, lol!
Hi Foxy- Everything looks delicious, and I can't wait to hear how it all smokes!
I chopped two Pure Power Plants this past weekend, and will post pics of the dried bud- talk about sticky- my fingers stuck together even after washing several times. I eventually used olive oil to unstick :)
Stoked, i wish i could fast forward myself to that time again.
Hey guys I'm glad you posted... I was starting to get that talking to a wall feeling!!!
Phew!
Well Demeter and Dusto, I can assure you that you will not have to wait for a smoke report!
Demeter, let me know when classes are done and you're out from under your piles of paperwork! I would actually be down for tossing the canoes on the car and maybe doing the Concord and Assabet rivers... whatcha think? It's a nice paddle this time of year, a little crowded thx to all the yuppies from Middlesex County, but still pleasant.
Dusto, hahaha a fast forward button would be great. If I had a super power I think that would be in contention... it would save me having to sit through my mother's "why haven't you gone back to graduate school yet you're wasting your life and btw you should be dating a guy with a PhD" lectures... AAAAGH!!!! I just got another one of those last week. It is probably the most unpleasant thing that happens to me on a regular basis. Well, that and menstrual cramps, lol!! Thank goodness the cramps are more frequent than the lectures. And I know when to expect them so I can take a Vicodin and a nap.
But yeah... the little bit of ugly smashberry I salvaged is pretty much done and smells like mixed berry jam, YUMMMY!, the Yeag's MTF went into a jar yesterday, the Black Indica went in today, and a Bogglegum got chopped last night. The weather has been warm and dry here so things are moving along nicely and I expect smokeable product by this time next week... which means I get to bring some MTF out to the Yeag when I go visit next weekend!
wOOt.
Anyway good things are coming your way guys.
LoL, so so is that vacation or businessQuote:
