Here's pics of the Lambsbread that's still flowering.

Here is my Jilly Bean still going outside:





The little mystery girl smells like cherries so it must be some TGA strain

Today makes 14 days that the cuttings have been in the dome. I'll be checking for roots today and will pot whatever has roots.

It's also day seven of 12/12 for the other plants.

I have a few that have good roots and the rest all are showing nothing so I'll have to wait to start putting them into pots.

bummer. Sometimes some are slow though.

Yeah, the majority of the ones with roots are Cherry Pie but there's a Blue Dream and a Pre 98 Bubba Kush with roots. I was really hoping for more than one Blue Dream and am still hoping for more Pre 98 Bubbas. I was wanting to be running in the neighborhood of twenty clones in the second half of the room but it's not looking good.

My first go around with clones were consistently taking 21 days to show roots.

21 days would suck. Hopefully I don't have to wait that long.

That was with rockwool. I am having much better results with rapid rooters and soil. The new aero cloner from @BobBitchen should give me even better results

I love these little aero's, they work amazingly for me, I hope ya get the same results
just too easy.......

saw Doc post on 600 about air layering ( cloning while still on plant)
decided to give it a try

I tried that with my first grow. Nothing happened

cloning's my "specialty" Mo.......lol

I've always had good results using the dome and heat mat method with plugs. Slow but decent rooting ratios. I have tried other methods that have proven to be faster but not as consistent as the plugs. This round, I have yellowing on all of the Cherry Pie clones and slow rooting times on the other strains. It's all good though and I'm sure it will work out in the end, one way or another.

Here's some pics of the Lambsbread that's still flowering.

Update:
I chopped the Lambsbread, hung and dried it. I decided I didn't like how it turned out so I used some to make butter the other day. the rest is still hanging because I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet.

The other plants have been under 12/12 for four weeks as of yesterday. I think the buds seem a little behind schedule but not too bad. The girls all seem happy and healthy and I will get some pics to post in here.

I've got eight clones that made it in veg right now. Four Pre98 Bubbas, a Blue Dream, an MK Ultra, and two Cherry Pie. The Cherry Pie clones however, barely survived and are significantly behind the others.

The lambsbread could have gone another month. Sativas swell like mad the last few weeks. This was the Mulanje Gold this January:

I will be getting a dimmable 600 watt ballast and bulb soon. The current plan is to replace the LED lights with it in veg until I can come up on a new veg light. The LED lights are going back to their owner in a couple of weeks. I'm going to dim it down to 250W for veg but once the plants in flower finish, I will most likely replace the 1K bulb/ ballast I'm running in there with the 600 setup. I'll have to shrink the diameter of my screen and blocks to accommodate the smaller light but I'll be using less power. That will make the wife happier with my grow as it's costing us too much each month right now using the 1K. Switching setups will save me about $50/mo

Woot! making the wife happy and saving money is always good.

Heck yeah!

I have the ballast and a nice new bulb to go along with it.

Now the question is, when do I rework the flower room and start running the 600?
