Hi there buddy, they're only for potential mothers being in flower they take ages to grow out so I've a chance to finish flowering the current crop dry them and taste them, if they're good I'll clone them again to flower for the next again run, I'm already working on the run after this one with clones in the bubbler above.
I'm working/planning 2 runs behind oh the joys of pheno hunting :bigjoint:
This is gonna be my new technique. Honestly mate just seeing this post gave me a brainwave. Thanks so much! Haha! You’ve inspired me

I’m gonna practise the monster crop clones and utilise their long slow drawn out transition back into veg, to allow my flowering plants to finish and dry, before planting smallish monstercropped plants back into the flowering tent, ready to go wild with tops.

I’m trying to have small veg/clone/mother space and a large flowering space, all while trying to keep 6 or less flowering plants.

I get by quite well with just a clone tent and a 5x5, using the monster clone method saves me a lot of work/effort/money that might well go straight into the bin if it's not a keeper.

Do you do anything special when it comes to looking after them during propagation? Any tips? I’ve allways had bad success rate taking clones too far into flower. You look like you’ve got it nailed there my man!

I treat them in a similar way to regular clones, I wet the coco then put them into a heated propagator for about week or so before removing the lid, I initially have the lid closed for 2/3 days then open the vent and prop up the lid about 1/1.5" for another 4/5 days then remove it, after removing the lid I left it plugged in for a bit heat.

Low light, some heat and humidity and they'll root.

A rough idea of time frame difference.

Evening all, how are we?

Apologies for my recent quietness got caught up in boris insta crackdown and LCG took a major hit....

But im working on the come back lol!

Had some good news recently though, @merlins.b_ got his hands on some Bluchi and found 2 keepers in one pack.

He recently captured the elusive blue pheno and the photo was then shared by mr Ed rosenthal himself! (Very cool)

I guess every cloud and all that!.... ‍♂

First ever run of autos, went with 8 x skittles, also have 2 x white widow and 2 x purple bud (photoperiod) for next run.
Starting some training early on the auto’s to get thr canopy spread out, could get a little tight in the 4x4. Got room for another 4x4 which is coming soon. Plan on running both tents, one for veg with some added auto other with photoperiods of diffrent varieties

Possibly....are the buds turning purple/blue also?

(I did see some plants in another photo of yours and thought they looked very similar to the blue pheno)

Super duper frosty....this is the first time i have seen them under LED and they look great, nice one!

Going to need a smoke report in the comming days/weeks !!

Thanks lads there's deffo a difference between the led and hps, the led grown seem healthier, more frosty and more terpy too and the light seems to be penetrating the lower buds better! Led for the win!!! This adjustawing hellion led is the bollocks

Few more from last night.

Day 32 of 12/12.

Roots are more than Established on the clones. Will get them to green up a little more and then evaluate if I need to reclone them again based on time frame.

It’s looking nice mate!

The tray your clones are in caught my eye what size is it?

I was going to make a capillary tray yesterday for my mother clones but couldn't find a tray that ticked all the boxes, they're in small pots so they'll be a pia to hand feed soon.

A little capillary tray will only require filling a couple times a week it'll save me a bit of work.
