rootone?

[JEFFAR420]

thanks again bear, so far i've followed the directions on the bottle, the first 4 are a week old today, and they still look alive, however, the other two have wilted bad. i took the top off, (gatorade bottle cut for green house) they seem to have picked up a little, but we'll see. i'm rooting in potting soil.

3 23w cfl's about two feet above. just took two clones from three more plants(brings me to 12 clones) right now i'm trying to learn this cloning thing. the way i see it, out of my 8 plants, maybe 3 are female, destroy the male clones. that'll leave six females, 3 moms 3 for flower.

then...the sog...is on....!

i realy appreciate your help bear. if i'm doing anything wrong, please correct me.

geez this response is scattered! sorry, need some sleep

love, brooke

If you have taken these clones from a female, then ALL of them will be female thats the great thing about cloning. Unless you stress them to the point of turning into a guy.

hi jeff, those 8 are from seed. i took clones the day i put them into flower. when i see signs of sex, i will destroy the males, and the clones from the males (except maybe one for seed cultivation)

so we'll see.

thanks for input bear, i'll get some of that too.

love, brooke

dear bear, i will put a few of the recovering clones under the light as to your advice, however, a few still look pretty bad, so i'll leave them in shade another day or so. new clones are doing great. 4 outdoor clones are growing by leaps and bounds now. tallest of those is 7 inches. seed plants are doing a little bit of stretching; do you think this might be because of the change in spectrum? i've read in several threads that when switched from mh to hps, the plants stretched a few inches.

out door plant got an undeserved flushing today. it rained like the great flood of the holy bible! when i got home, she was almost drooped to the ground from water weight. its the dark cycle now, though, so i won't be able to check for damage until tomorrow.

still haven't been to the store, so no new products yet.

ne way, hope to hear from you guys soon!

love, brooke

Hey young lady. Yes, plants do tend to stretch a little more when under HPS spectrum lights. Just keep a close eye on those recovering clones.
Hope you don't run into any mold on the out door project.
So, on to another topic, what kind of music do you play? Can I hear this anywhere? It would be nice. I love music like you wouldn't believe.

Hey Bear.. : )
A room I just visited had pollen issues.. The guy (from www.rollitup.org)told me that he sprayed the room down with Hydrogen Peroxide.

FYI - That stuff (H2o2) will STAIN things..

My other suggestion would be a 10% bleach/water mixture and wipe the room down..

Of course, this may not be neccessary... but I would be extreme myself and wipe the room down... not worth the risk... : )



BROOKE - I want to talk about a winter in Key West...

Where the fuck did Jeff show up from ? LOL

[BlueBear]

Key West? GK your my hero, I could never figure out how to be that settle with the women. LOL Brook, you should take him up on his offer, then you can get all of his secrets and share them with me. LOL
You guys are the best, love U's

burnt clones are still kicking, three have yellow tips on the leaves now. i was told by ex bf "when the tips turn yalla, yer good. they got them roots."

does yellow tips mean the clones have rooted? i gess it would make sense as the starter soil i'm using has very mild amounts of root toner and starter ferts.

plants in the flower box are stretching a little, but nothing too dramatic.

took two of these and put them about eight inches from the light (close as i could with the other four in the way) as per your request bear. i'll see how they are after work this evening.

still misting like crazy.

new 8 clones look realy good, got a little bit of wilting going on, but nothing like the first 8. 4 outdoor clones are shootin up like weeds.

outdoor girl is ok. a little dirty in one spot but no ral damage. she'll prob bounce back full force today. i had to tie up one of her branches that sagged too low with the rain.

to the knowm;

you want to spend a winter with lil ol me? how sweet!

unfortunately, i would have to decline; my brother has emphysema and lives with me full time so i can try to help/take care of him. of course, he won't have me waiting on him and does all kinds of things that are detremental to his health, but the temps and humidity in fl is the reason we aren't there now.

but, i think it would be a romantic winter adventure!

thanx guys, gotta go to town, be back in a little while.

love, brooke

[Garden Knowm]

LOL you guys are funny... Although I did not mean to insinuate that we go to Key West together.. I would be more than willing to accomodate you as a travel companion : ) Can you play frisbee?

I figured that since you live in NC you may have been to Key West. I want to go there for a month or more this winter and frolic on the beach...

Brooke, when are you going to post pictues of your ladies.. You really need to show us your CREW.. : ) ..

Maybe your "gay stoner friend" can take his eyes off you for a moment and snap a pic of the plants.. LOL

what's the best way to germinate seads?

[brookerosebud]

to austin first, i'll give you my technique, i have had an excellent success rate, but other go a slightly different route, so if you don't like my way, try another.

first, place 2 paper towels on a plate, and wet them down. place seeds on towels about 1 1/2 inch apart, cover with one paper towel. drain excess moisture.

put plate on top of your refridgerator, wait 24 hours and check, as the towels dry the seeds will pop. if towels dry completly, moisten again, wait 24 hours etc.

once seeds have popped, take tweezers, grab the seed by the husk (don't you crack that shell yet!!!) and place into soil with root tip facing down. seed husk should be flush with the top of the soil.

in 2 days, you should notice the shell sticking out of the soil on a little stem. take tweezers, GENTLY, GENTLY, GENTLY crack the husk if needed and pull of the seed shell. now your plant is germed and started.

get back to me and let me know how this works for you austin, any more posers i'll be glad to answer if i can. if not, seek out bluebear and garden knowm, my mentors and instructors.

to the knowm, key west is awesome (as long as you don't mind the public, lol) don't remember to much about my trip there though. most of my floridian memories lie in venice lots and lots and lots of frisbee. and many other things too.

to knowm and bear, i got some green light super bloom and green light rootbuilder.

when should i use root builder? one week after clones have rooted? two weeks?

when should i use the super bloom? wait until flowers show, or fert them now? this one is important, plants get watered tonite, so i need to know as soon as possible. otherwise i'll just water and wait 4 more days.

burnt clones are doing well now, they've gotten their colour back.
new clones are just so perdy!
4 rooted clones are like the governator of california, ah-nold. pahmped ahhp!

have to check on out door girl, i got home after dark.

well, see ya later!

love, brooke
