Finally have a full round of rooted cuttings from my birthday haul. I'm really loving rockwool over my aero cloner too. The root mass seems healthier when using Azos instead of Clonex. I'm probably going to stick with this method for a while.

And I've got some colorful pics of Trop Cherry to upload. Its about 4 wks in flower and turning out very pretty.
I've tried rockwool with clones a few times over the years, but have never had good results.
Not sure why? Probably kept the cubes too wet.

I have a power cloner that works great if you can get the temps dialed in, because the pump ads about 5 degrees of heat to the reservoir.
I've had roots appear in 3 days, but 1 week seems to be average.
When the temps are too high, I've lost them all to rot.

So an update on my Triangle Kush from Sunshinestateseedco.

I've never grown TK, but I've grown a variety of crosses to her and I've seen a ton of pics and descriptions of her.
This is not the TK I was looking for.
These guys claim it's "original" TK or whatever, and I thought it might be worth a shot to try.
She has more in common with Bubba Kush than an Og. I'll post pics soon.
Small Kush flowers covered in trichs and the least loud plant in the garden.
I'm going to finish it and sample it, but it better be impressive to keep around.

I had a conversation with origins_tk_og about these guys and this was his reply.

TK should be loud! Again I know my lvtk is just an s1 of a tk cross but it stinks to high heaven.

I went to rock wool a while back. Simplicity at its finest. I usually dont use a dome and I rarely have any cut wilt on me. I usually just cut and place in a cup of water asap, thg hen into cubes. I think a dome would help speed things up though.

I usually pack the cloner away in the summer for that very reason. I tried throwing in a frozen water bottle and it works IF I remember to swap it out daily. I found with rockwool, humidity is the key. That and using good quality rigid 1.5inch cubes. The cheaper ones I bought ended up waterlogged because they were too soft and squishy.
This tray had half Grodan RW and half cheapies. The soft cubes either didn't root or took so long the cuttings suffered. (if that makes sense).

On the plus side, my LVTK and Blueberry Sundae moms have given up so many cuts for the local outdoor growers they now look like big bushy hedges. I'm going to throw those moms outside this year in 50 gal fabric pots and see if I can grow some trees for extracts :)

Well that sucks. Finding and supporting a good "clone guy" is just as important as finding the good breeders/seed makers.

Damn hacks and shills are the reason we cant have nice things, lol.

Lvtk phenos can make great rosin! My cut isn't great for structure but that rosin.

That blueberry sundae sounds excellent too. That's super cool you're supplying cuts for folks. Those two strains will reward those folks nicely.

You are sort of proving their business model is working. If you and others are not wiling to pay those prices for elite cuts then they remain elite. Given that one is getting the legit cut asked for. Im really surprised the cuts are not going for more like in the 1000.00 range. Im pretty sure the cost would be something like 2000.00 for like an real verified OG cut.
Cuts are going way more than that.. 9-10x. Ill post.

Well, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
origins_tk_og pointed me in the right direction.

So, I will possess her soon enough - sorry if that sounds creepy. :P

Oh. My. GAWD! That looks amazing Eso. Did you squish that?
And yes, LVTK produces some of the best extracts.

I made this slab last year with LVTK
LVTK Lemony goodness.jpg

Last spring I gave out about 40 or so clones. Word spread between mutual friends and I got a lot of request this yr. (Covid probably has a lot to do with it too) Plus, most have food crops and they'll stock me up well with lots of goodies

Oh, and just for posterity, because I've mistyped that Blueberry so many times and dont want to edit my posts again, its actually Blueberry Shortcake from Rado. I have the Grape Sundae from Rado going too and I keep misquoting the BBS

I think I've exceeded my normal post count today, lol.

Yeah I squished that at 190f through a 120 bag.

That big pool of sauce looks killer! Good stuff

They've identified 12 new viruses in Hemp ... ..heard this on a Adam Dunn podcast.. all these former fields that were growing normal crops now have huge Hemps farms and they are catching all kinds of new viruses ... trading cuts is gonna creep on risky as fuck territory soon.. outside of Dudding ... Ive seen the Beet Curly Top Virus.. that scared the shit out of me... I had to toss everything in the room at the time... also Witches Broom Virus... Aphids and other Cannabis pest pass this shit around all day/night long...
