I hope so! 108 of the party cups that are finishing up rooting and starting veg are Grapefruit Diesel x Hijack. Impossible to replicate the strain as the initials are unknown and the supply is very limited. . . ... There's a guy on here who has some, I cant remember the thread name but his name is physics or something like that. Someone chime in with a link if you got one.......

So here's a question I've never really researched too much yet...... When I get that nice purple in flower, how do I get a mother from that plant at that point? Snip a branch off and root it and re-veg it? Re-veg the entire plant after harvest? I've really no idea........... The goal would be to have the next batch ALL be that nice purple-ish.

Yeah, you would clip a branch and clone it. It will take a while to re-veg but then you have a beautiful mother.

Easy enough. AeroCloner sittin in the corner collecting dust, will give it some use. When I clip the branch, would a lower, middle, or upper branch be best, and how many nodes deep?

Thanks!!

In veg, lower branches have more of the rooting hormone than the upper branches. I dont think that changes in bloom so I would cut a smaller lower branch.

The size of the clone would be dependent upon veg time before you want more plants but honestly I dont think it would matter much because once a clone takes root in an aeroponic type setup it just takes off in terms of growth. Personally I cut my clones between 6-8" and dont really count nodes. Then I usually clip off the lowest leaves and nodes to create a nice long stem for the cloner.

Added - I use a setup similar to stinkbuds 18 gallon rubbermaid roughneck setup for my clones and veg plants.

cant go wrong with an aerocloner. i do pretty much what NLX said and 100% of my clones have rooted and are ready for transplant in around 10 days. i just use straight, un-ph'd tap water.

I agree with you on the Kush strains Kitty... I had some Purple Kush and OG Kush (Chem Dawg 91) last batch and even though they were killer as far as taste and potency, they were low yielders. The purple was really dark purple buds and smelled like grape Jolly Ranchers...lol I have a new batch of seeds coming in the next few days... Dutch Passion Blueberry (my favorite) ..... Sensi seeds Limited Edition Shiva Skunk (You gotta read the desccription...It sold me) http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk.../prod_793.html and some more Barneys Farm Blue Cheese. Has anyone had any of these strains and have any input? Oh, one last thing Kitty..... I think I speak for everyone when I say...... "PICTURE UPDATE TIME" lol

I got an eight bag bubble kit for Christmas!! Your grow looks great.
