Thanks Apalchen!
I strip every leaf that has a stem, leave the ones still growing out of a bud site.
This is my 4th grow defoliating, I'll do a second stripping at day 21 like you do. After my second defoliation I lower a scrog screen over the canopy, I couldn't do this without leaf stripping.

I left the cloner alone and the cuttings perked up overnight, straightening stems and turning leaves to the light.
I planed on putting the clones in alphabetical order but I think I messed up putting the clones in. Anyway, I've got 5 rows of 4 strains, and Blue Dream is the first strain on the left.

It's been 3 days since my first defoliation, already the leaves are growing back and reaching for my light. Very happy plants.
I'm going to run a few posts with each stage of defoliation - before, after, 3 days after and finally 3 weeks after just before my second defoliation.

Just before defoliation.

Just after defoliation.

3 days into recovery.

Slurracane in praying mode.

I had some trouble with my Lemon Haze last night - it was finger tipping (nutrient burn on the tips of the leaves) and showing signs of magnesium deficiency and/or light bleaching.
This morning the problems hadn't progressed any further and the 3 other strains were fine.
I flushed the Lemon Haze with 1 gallon of ph'd water with 5 mg of cal-mag. Hopefully the problem doesn't spread any further.

Roots in clonner
It's been about 7 days since I took cuttings and put them in my bubbler cloner. The cuttings starting budding a couple of days ago and the roots promptly grew out of the buds.
I'll veg the new clones in the bubbler for a week or two, then transplant to 6" pots. I've got 19 clones and only need 4, so 12 clones go to friends who grow and the other 3 I'll think of something to do.

10 days from start of flower.
I have lots of roots on one half of the cloner, where the pump flows and the air stone bubbles, and the other half of the bubbler is all but bare. I moved the air stone to the other back half of the cloner and I think that the mechanical action of the bubbler will speed rooting.
.
You can see how the clones in the upper rows are flourishing while the bottom two rows look parched. Only 3 clones of the bottom 10 have roots, they're faring better than the rest.
.
My flower garden has fully recovered from defoliation, it'll continue to fill out and grow over the next week and a half until stretch ends.
.
This is Slurracane, the most aggressive grower, it's unfortunately 3" taller than Blue Dream and Lemon Haze. Scrogging is going to be tough, definitely need another defoliation.

Planting day 1
The Slurracane roots are taking up prime space in the bubbler so I planted three to give the other strains a chance to stretch out.
I like to get a massive root system before planting.
.
After planting I water them in until run off. It's important to remember that the root system is only in a small margin of your pot.

I've planted 12 clones and have 5 more rooted that I'm not going to plant. I'm having difficulty getting the plants to their new owners because of traffic restrictions because of Covid-19 and moving logistics. I've got my 4 picked out and I may have to throw out the remaining 8 clones.
Anyone in my area need some clones? j/k
.
.
My flower garden has regrown all the leaves, which are supporting bud sites.
I hate to defoliate a second time they look so good, bud sites stacking one on top of the next.
I'm wondering about the buds showing and defoliation - I'm at day 16 and usually defoliate a second time on day 21. All four strains seem mature for 2 weeks of flower.

4 of the clones have gotten to their new home, I've got 4 left to deliver and 4 for myself.
On page one F80M4 asked why I would spend $270 on 4 plants. With these 12 clones and the original 4 that makes 16 clones for $270 rather than just 4, so instead of $77 a plant harvested we're down to around $16 per plant harvested. To be harvested.
If the bud is good I'll run some of the perpetual clone chain for years.

How you liking your Black Dogs? I have 3 1000’s and a 800 on movers! Love them. Also using Success Nutrients. They have the best customer service around and have a great product. I’m also trying to copy a Black Dog grow. Using Sunshine #4 like them amended with perlite, 3:1 soil to perlite.
Unfortunately it's really cheap like $10 a gram so it's going to take you a few years at that rate
Just sprinkle it in some joints when you want to get really stoned

That’s some serious light for that small of a footprint. Each one of my 1000’s are on a 5x5 foot print, but on movers and my 800, in veg has a 4x6 footprint, on a mover. My movers are only set to go 12-16”. Just enough to get the shadows. Are you running CO2? Definitely need to run that to max out yields!
