please paper towel germ the next ones mate... you seem to be having some poor luck with cube germing

It's not the cube mate, it's the propogator... I've not had any success with it yet, but results are better than last time so it's not all bad.

The aero mister broke. So now I fill the bucket to just beneath the netty pots and have an air stone in the bottom splashing its bubbles up onto the nettys. Works well... but clones are not taking, I'm guessing because of over watering as an effect of too much splash from the bubbles... You'd think that would be fine for seeds as they love it wet. But this is the second seed gone this way with this technique...
So this time I'm gonna do it different, not sure how yet lol. I've always had good results with root riots sitting in still water and under a dome. Or straight in soil. I may go for the still water.

I'd always intended to upgrade my old (original) veg box into a nursery



I put the ole LED panel back in to use too, as a trial. Never really thought much of it tbh so lets be hoping it actually earns its keep for a change.
I got the old propogator back out lol and a 'new' strawberry cheesecake seed is not sat in a root riot, inside a plastic thingy with water in and a touch of canna rooty stuff.
Tomorrow, or later, I'll organise a light proof curtain type thing to encase it off.


Exo, taken yesterday. She's grown a good two centimetres since and started on her jaggers. So I added a .75 ml of grow juice.
And a partial shot there of the dwc propogator. I'll get a better picture tomoz as the sleestack are making nice changes

nice mate... you've been busy

My HPS is on!! After a few teething problems lol

Caramelo is looking massive in it's new pot and almost filling the screen now. Another week under HPS and it'll be massive for sure
My half plan, is at the end of this first week I'll supercrop her hard and give her some super veg booster juice, then give her another week (or a couple of days) of HPS veg to get her healed and for her nodes to stand up before the switch.

A UK Cheese clone was gifted to me yesterday, only 6" tall. I've already put her under HPS and I'll flower her alongside Caramelo May or may not take a cut, not sure if I want one yet as I'm already pretty cheesed up with seeds. She may be good though...

Cuts and seedlings are doing well also in their watery habitat. Fed them up this morning so we'll see how they take to that a bit later.

Strawberry Cheesecake popped! My last seed too lol Three times a charm...

I got some pics, but since yesterday they're probably a little out dated lol so I'll try take some more later

Hi all, that are still watching lol


These pics were taken more than a week ago - current pics at bottom. Exodus in the perculator and Cheesecake is the seedling. Sleestack are the two, more filled out, babies and the crusty one is the Caramelo clone. All veg box items now have either tap roots or submerged roots


UK Cheese, pic taken a few days ago. She's gonna feel a lot better in a new pot, this one was merely a transport pot from its original propogator and has since been to two other farms! LoL A new pot, then a week of HPS veg, I reckon she'll love it!



These ones taken last week of Caramelo, after just a few days under HPS. I was able to snap during lights off.



Below pics were taken tonight
TONS of growth in the bloom box! But still another week of veg to go hehe. My screen is more than 80% filled and there are nodes everywhere! Too many even! lol I'm gonna have to cut some off just to make sure those left have enough room... One top I made, split into 8!!! and mostly this plant has been like that the whole time - Am really looking forward to seeing a sea of pistels on this one when she's switched and judging by the pre-flowers I reckon there will be only a short wait for that lol
UK Cheese is looking plush too. I'm gonna pot her up probably the weekend.

Veg box is looking awesome too Lost a few clones, but I have some successful ones there in that pot. I found that my water level was too high and the bubble spray was over saturating the rooting blocks. I've been on that but haven't yet found a good system that works well everytime.
Sleestacks are looking great for being three weeks from seed, as is the Exodus Cheese and the Cheesecake too



Apart from an apart new infection of thrips, it's all good in the CFL (Cumbers Fruity Lair)

I'm still trying to work out my lightproofing. That's still an issue.
Still thinking of ideas for making my veg box mostly water, but to have enough space for a little soil too...
Temps are still stupid high as well, averaging around 33C lights on, 23C lights off. For the first time ever, I'm looking forward to Winter! LoL

Glad to see you're giving the Strawberry Cheesecake another run.

Sorry I haven't left any comments lately. I've been hanging around another forum and rarely log into RIU anymore.

No worries mate, been pretty busy up myself with life stuff - Lady J was off to another forum too, is there a better one that's being kept quiet or summin? LoL

Yeaaaah... Cheesecake canny wait!

Yeah, the Cheesecake is pretty damn yummy. I've been having some cal/mag issues with mine because of the coco but it grows great and smells delicious.

I dragged Lady J over to the other forums. Shhhhh!

That carmelo is looking great! Sorry I haven't been here to comment....Kronika stole me away to paradise

looks great bro! .... can't wait to see that scrog flower

For anyone still watching this thread




A little update on my scrog
Only 4 weeks left till the cull!




Exodus Cheese to the left, Strawberry Cheesecake (Chronic x Cheese) to the right. Both in bubbleponics. Both (or just one, not decided yet) going into flower once Caramelo gets out the way!

How did your fruit punch turn out? I'm doing a led grow with fruit punch and was looking for any other documented grows that I could use for reference to see how the led is in comparison. I'm at 4 weeks right now and this is what I have...
