well just to provide background.

normally i do outdoor grows, small patches here and there.

but my significant other told me to go live somewhere else. so i did. now im much farther from any of my spots. well you get the idea.

so to begin with, im working with a white rhino+ mex indica cross. i know what your thinkin, and its not by choice. last year i had one WR branch pollenated with blueberry (which i dont think tastes even a little like blueberries) but im afraid a deer ate that branch :-(). so i had to do some last minute scrambling. and had to pollenate with the only other male i had living (it was the fastest growing earliest flowing male, tryin to do anything i could for the genes at that point) the seeds barely had time to mature and most didnt (germination rates less than 1/5). anyway had about a doz sprouted and ready, late frost killed all but 3, i was told to move, that killed 2 more, leaving 1

and if i ever find my camera ill post some pics of everything

anyhoooo. it wasnt getting enough light. so i built a growbox using a huge old computer tower i had. and that gave me some breathing room. started working on my closet, starting small gettin my shit worked out. did some math and some measurin, did some graph paper work. and decided to start with a space 2 feet wide 1 foot deep and 5 feet tall. (hear me out) its seperated into 3 spaces. i made a little drawing.

so back to the story my surviving plant looked strong, and when i went to flower, it was a male, sad sad sad. fortunatly when it was back in the comp grow box i did some seedling work and had some backups coming.

so once i found out it was male, i went to town im trying every kind of cloning i can think of to get my technique down.

got a diy bubbler cloner, soil cloning, water cloning, with superthrive, without superthrive, perlite, etc. working on a diy fogger based aeroponics setup.

so far ive done good with soil, straight water is goin ok kinda more fun to watch than soil, bubbler is goin, well no root shoots yet but the whole base is covered with one big root carbuncle, i think i set the initial water level too low and some air got into the stalk it has some bulgyness and its leaves have gone all curly at the new growth sites

oh the dimensions on the drawing are in inches and only include height between top of flower pot to bottom of bulb

ill find my camera and show you whats up, god i hope these next 2 are female or im gonna be depressed, and ive got 4 more planted (which ill be lucky if 1 sprouts) so one of these days. and ive already started cloning my biggest one just in case it is female.
