So lesson learned, I need plant yoyo's for my clone run from these plants. The one plant is so heavy at this point that it buckled about 4" from the soil due to the weight of the buds, this occurred in a 2 hour period and required me to rig it up with some metal stakes, some rubber wire plant ties and the bottom pole of my tent. Sorry for the pic quality, I was kind of panicking about my plant falling over so close to finish (it is sitting around 15% amber or so at day 48, it is supposedly a 55-60 day strain but I think this pheno is early).

I have also added this little guy to my grow, I won't ever actually try it but I wanted to grow it simply for the experience, and because if cannabis scares conservatives I would love to see how they feel about this completely legal houseplant.

That crimson crystal looks bomb dude. I wouldn't be trying that either, but a cool companion for the other plants lol.

Thanks, the pic doesn't do it justice either. I am super excited for this one to actually make it to the correct harvest day.

Hopefully they fill out more and the deficiencies don't get too bad.

Round 2 for me. Hmm, 25 Dig Weed, 25 Spoetnik#1, 30 Master Kush, and 18 K.O Kush... See how many survive...I need 60. Last time I think I discovered the secret to the rockwell cloning (bleach) and had 100% success on my 40 clones, so we will see this time if bleach is the elixir of roots or not :)20171123_221501.jpg

dont cook them or have them in to much water! and all should be good
less leaves would help really. they need air space.
any leaves not seein light and touching will turn yellow...then brown die and possibly mold up .. good strain with a good environment should see roots in less than two weeks but can take three

yeah last time using this same method with the bleach I had roots in most by day 7 and all by day 10/11. Those not well rooted at that point were rotting and were garbage (but would have survived if I had the inclination since they had roots too). The bleach really helps prevent the rot, and thus helps the rooting. I noticed all the leaves stayed green. So I pretty much just did what worked last time again. Thinner stocks helps rooting faster IMO and woody stalks take longer.
:bigjoint:

Sheesh I have to edit this since most people don't clone in rockwool anymore. Around day 5-6 I take the dome off for 1 hour a day to acclimate the clones to the humidity difference, and around day 3 I open the valves on the dome. Do this until day 10 or so when most should be ready to go. Even if the roots aren't out the 1 inch cube at this point, I usually open them a bit and then they are good in 24-48 hours. They do need oxygen as GB mentioned but not for the first 4-5 days. You probably have to add water to the tray after day 5, just a bit and since I already dipped the cubes in PH 5.7 and EC 0.8 solution I just add a bit of water after day 5 (or lift the tray and check how heavy it is to see if it needs it).

I get 98 clones in a tray like that...14 rows of 7 ..1/2 deep.
I cut up 4 "cubes into 26 then in half again...for 52 cubes for a dollar...or 100 for 2 ;)...
I just use cheap reg powder root hormone.
The doom never has to come off unless I see to much humidity on the cover. Then I just remove it and wipe it dry and replace.
As well..if your lights go off and you use 18 on ,,,never let the baby's go to bed wet! I never spray my plants!

Ya it's been dropped down a little.
These kind leds will burn the plants if too close. The penetration is powerful.
Just wanted them to get used to the light.
Good eyes and advice.
Although the tent is just for the babies and they will be moved into another room when they get bigger.
They're a little stretched but that happened before the light.
They sprouted a couple of days before I was ready for Soil so they did a super stretch looking for light lol.
And this lihght is only k3 300.
Going to transplant and put up the K3 600
