It is not just new growth tips. A simple search shows that. Both acids leech out from bark, leaves, twigs, and even roots.

I think we should ignore this post. He's stiring it hard on this one.

Here' the pheno from the first run.

Yet this link gives a process of breaking down new shoots, stripping them of leaves, and making a solution by soaking the cut up shoots in boiling water... I was just trying to help. Cheers!

The first pheno had huge 11 and 13 blade fans. Some of them were over 17" across. From tip to tip. They were huge. I run it 12/12 from seed. Well close to seed. It was like 8 days old when I threw it in for an extra plant in the flower tent. She yielded over 2.5zips in a 3gal smartpot. I was impressed. And took clones. Smoke was out standing. But lost the clones in the flood n crap.

Yeah I was just sayin it' not just new shoots. I've used willow water for the last year. Nothing but leaves. Ground up mostly. And they always root fast. Especially ones taken from flowering plants. 100% rooting rate on the last 31 clones. And 100% loss of everyone of them from a flood lol. Sucks but owell. Starting fresh. With all new genetics. Jus sucks the lost time.

Didn't someone post runs of lucky 7s that hermed. Or am I thinking of something different.

Sorry to hear about the flood and loss of genetics. Didn't you suffer a back injury too recently? I hope you recover quickly, from both unfortunate circumstances. And you're right about the willow trees, I've read that you can take a tree trunk sized portion of a willow tree and root it like a normal cutting. Hormones are strong in that species. Happy hunting for new keepers!

Those were unlucky 7s...
You're both right on the willow.But i do believe there is a bit more of the salicylic and what ever the other acid is in the tips themselves??But even just the leaves are of benefit.
Genius is the weakest lankiest plant i have ever grown.Even in veg she can not hold up her growing tips.No amount of silica helps either.It's awesome smoke but a very undesirable plant to grow.

Yeah was in a car wreck the 21st of may. And fractured two vertebrae. L1 and T12. Then 6 days later we got flooded out. But we didn't lose our home. Some people did. And lost everything. We are very fortunate even tho the run of bad luck has got us. But things are turning around. I got approved for short term disability. I'll b off work for 90 days. But my ol lady is a state flagger. She makes a ton of money holding a damn stop sign. So atleast we can keep up on bills till I go back. My release is August 29th. To go back full time. I got released for light duty. But my job doesn't have light duty. I'm an electrician. So even tho I'm allowed to go back for that. We Don't have any. So I get short term disability. And even more positive note. All but one of the testers are up. I just made a grow journal on GPS website this morning and only 1 pebble pusher was up.. So 100% on pebble pushers. And all but 1 sundae driver is up. But it's coming you can see the dirt pushing up. I'm gonna leave em in my led baby cabinet for a week or so. Just to make sure they are healthy. And they will get flipped. And males culled. Unfortunately. Can mess with males yet. Gotta get my jars filled back up. I've been using herb for pain, I have a Charlotte web that I run as well. Been mixing it and o.b.s. And helps tremendously. Didn't even get the pain pills filled.
Sry they are hard too see. I have baggies over the cups for humidity

Yeah im sure new growth tips have a ton more hormones. I mean that only makes since. But I pull leaves from older longer limbs towards the bottom. Bc the intent wasn't to use it for that. It was just to section off our property. We planted 4 of them, plus several Kwanza Cherry trees, and pink n white dog woods. And at the beginning of spring this year. Me and my son took cuttings from the willow tree and rooted them to plant more of them around our house.
The first pheno I run of it wasn't lanky at all. I habe a bunch of pics of it on my Insta. She did stretch alot from 12/12 that early. But she was hit here. The only thing I didn't like was side branching could've been a tad stronger. But the flower were very dense n heavy. And she finished in roughly 64 days. And honestly could've been takin at 58. There were tons of amber trichs.

The bags over the seedlings are interesting. What's the ambient relative humidity where you are at? If I ever leave the tropics I suppose that's something I'll have to contend with. Our RH is usually around 75% or higher.

The last few days it's been nice and sunny. Mid 80s with low humi. Like 25-35% but today it's raining n nasty out. Only 64° with like 80% humi. But in the house it's 74° not sure of the humi. I usually leave bags on the cups for the first couple days. I start them in a night stand I converted. I gutted it. And put 60 watts of led modules on inside the roof of it. Works pretty good.
