    Cloning 101 - Controlled Clone Experiment - RIU user input welcomed

    Not tool old, lol. I only made this thread 5 days ago. They're for sure the SFV. These new mothers were created from clones from my old mom so I know they're the same as before. Everything seems to have turned out all right so far but at this stage it's still too early to tell. Thanks for...

    A lid on your res will help but you're not going to see any super drastic changes. It's definitely worth adding though. If you're using a 40 gal res your surface area of your water is about 6 square feet. If you're using the lid, the access hole only about .5 square foot. If your feedings have...

    ROUND 1 I am going to take the first round of clones today to use as my control test. They will be done using the method I've been sticking to over the last few years. I've had solid 100% rounds a lot of the time and as low as 75% survival rates with the method. The lower survival rates are...

    You're always welcome back. Wasn't trying to create any bad vibes, especially around the plants. I was just trying to drill the fact that I am trying to do this thread for those who prefer mediums over machines. That's it. Like myself, I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people who can't use a...

    I think I have a pretty good idea unless the picture I'm about to post is not what you're talking about. If the machine I'm looking at from oxycloner.com's website is the same thing you're talking about then it's not really different from every other big brand, small brand, or DIY machine...

    Lower leaves dropping, scorching, etc. PICS

    Agreed. Too much nutes for a 9 day old plant and there's no way those leaves are from a 9 day old plant. It's possible that you could have started out with some huge clones/teens and the leaves be that big if the person taking cuttings didn't remove the big fan leaves. Post some pics of the...

    I'm not looking to explore EZ-Clone machines or any other machine that uses the exact same method. Been there, done that. I'm not a fan of the maintenance and noise levels involved in using machines. It's funny you call that the best cloner on the market when it's exactly the same style of...

    Cool. I'm not opposed to putting Dip n Grow against other rooting hormones and Oasis up against the other mediums. How's the water retention with Oasis cubes and are they more spongy like RR's or more fibrous like rockwool? I have gotten 100% success rates with rockwool and Clonex on several...

    Leaves turning yellow and curling, why?

    I'd say just be patient. Those lower leaves will all be pruned off as soon as the plant takes off and starts really growing. Those lights are definitely too far away though. I'm running a 1000W MH on my plants and the light is less than a foot away and they are thriving. Since the lights you're...

    I'm about to flip an ef'n gasket MOLD

    Foliar feeding this late into your bloom cycle will only act as a catalyst to create more mold. The mold is created from and over abundance of humidity and spraying them with a foliar feed/liquid will only make the problem worse. My best advice to you is go cut out the moldy parts of your colas...

    For the sake of the experiment I'm going to take the first round of cuttings using the same methods I've been using for the last few years. Here's the steps to my current method. 1. Pre-soak rockwool in a 5.5pH solution of quarter strength Thrive Alive B-1, A+B base nutes, and Rhizotonic...

    I'm about to flip an ef'n gasket MOLD

    For research purposes, the correct name for your "cotton candy" is botrytis. It spreads like wildfire once it starts. Extreme amounts of airflow can drastically cut back on the growth and development. I try to always have as many oscillating fans in the room as possible. The bigger and denser...

    I have been cloning a while now and have used several methods, some successful and some not so much. In this thread I will be doing controlled tests over the next year to nail down the best possible cloning method as far as rooting times and clone health goes. Here's my current setup. GEAR...

    I mostly agree. The plants don't look like complete dog shit but they don't look super healthy either. The stalks on those things are shit given how big the pots are. Looking at the pictures shows that the lower growth was never trimmed off before flowering so you have lots of shitty popcorn...
