Man that Train Wreck on the 1st page is FUCKING NUTS!!!!! How the hell did you get that tight of spacing?
That's almost too damn tight, the light can't get in to help 'em grow, try and spread out your leafs.
I'd pull that bitch over 90 degrees and have 'em all turn into tops.
+rep man
The rep thing is doing something fucked up so, I'll rep ya some other time

I am going to prove how, just need someone to give me any "organic" in nature foliar feed that they think is the shizzle dizzle. I have two plants that didn't get liquid light when they were young, well 4 actually. 2 mommies and two of the babies from them, all in flower now, all could have been monsters. Oh well, the next batch is obviously gonna make up for it.

I use Liquid Light from Dutch Master, as well as their Gold Line Nutrients.

the nutes;

the magic love juice as I call it, Liquid Light:

• Indispensible For Grow Tent And Grow Hut Users!
• The World’s # 1 Foliar Spray - For A Reason!
• Perfect For Indoor And Outdoor Gardens Alike!
• Combine With Gold Range SATURATOR For The Best Results!
• One Of The World’s Most Effective Carbohydrate & Amino Supplements!

"It’s a known fact that plants don’t process light anywhere near as well as they should. If they could process light closer to their genetic potential the results would shock you. Well get ready to be shocked!! "

I was shocked personally, don't know about ya'll

Gold Range LIQUID LIGHT puts your plants into overdrive by helping to restore their lost natural photosynthetic power. Liquid Light does this by providing your plants with selected minerals, carbohydrates, amino-acids and phyto-nutrients that optimizes the Calvin Cycle, a critical cycle of photosynthesis. By restoring a large portion of a plants’ natural genetic photosynthetic speed, or power, plants are able to use a lot more of the precious light you provide them. Indoor lighting is expensive to provide and the running costs can be enormous. Doesn’t it make sense to maximize your plants natural response to that expensive light?

Gold Range LIQUID LIGHT is indispensible in today’s modern indoor gardens where many gardeners are now using new technology Grow Tents or Grow Huts. These tents or huts often have limited lighting due to heat and size constraints so Gold Range LIQUID LIGHT allows you to get BIG LIGHT results from a single 400W or 600W lamp by helping your plants achieve their maximum natural photosynthetic power! Gold Range LIQUID LIGHT works just as great outdoors maximizing your plants limited exposure to full sun. Great for gardens where plants are often shaded and Gold Range LIQUID LIGHT is so easy to use.

Gold Range LIQUID LIGHT is also one of today’s most advanced and most effective Carbohydrate supplements – bet you didn’t know that! A big part of a plants light-processing ability lays in the amount of selected carbohydrates it has on hand to assist in maximizing its natural genetic photosynthetic power. Gold Range LIQUID LIGHT contains a specially selected premium suite of carbohydrates to naturally help your plants process all that light. Amazing! Simply mix with Gold Range SATURATOR and water and spray twice per week – it’s that simple! Indoors or outdoors... we guarantee you’ll love it!


Now I did test it our doors as well on some of my plants, gonna go take pics right now, it's been a week since they were sprayed.

Here is some evidence of liquid light with the sun, liquid light vs the sun

as you can kinda see this bush was a square last week,



so it grew a 1L Dasani bottle in 1 week



top grew even farther,


Here you can see two flower bushes that are in the direct light for about 4/5 of the whole day



here you can see the two that are shaded about 3/4 of the day



again, you can see the over growth as these are always even with the side walk, and lets compare the sizes of the plants, all are the same age, same drip system, etc, only difference is the ones that were shaded most of the day got Liquid Light, twice.



I'm gonna go ahead and say it works, and works WELL!

Also, hardroc, I would LOVE to turn em back to where they started however there is a problem. The main shoot is about half an inch thick an solid as granite all the way up to the last three inches or so of it. my thought was to trim all the clones I want to take off the same row of branches starting at the bottom. I'll start bending her that direction for about another 2 weeks - 3 weeks of veg and x-train em'. To those that don't know it's a form of super cropping I do where you cross the lower branches after bending it 110* back down to the ground. Gives you an X effect of the two branches, because the center branch is SC'd back towards the roots it makes all three about the same height at the canopy while allowing a gap for light to reach into the center of the plant. I use one twist tie to hold the three together.

So today is my official projected halfway point, though I would use it as an excuse to snap some pictures.

Bravo...i have a question...How far from the lights do you keep your top canopy? i have mine about 5 inches away at the most

I'll take pics when I open up the tent in the morning but I am pretty sure the mommies have their light at about 10 inches and the clones had their light at about the same. This gives me two primary focus areas and two secondary areas that overlap creating a third primary. Also the plants are at angles depending on plant growth. I use a meter weekly to adjust them to make sure the canopy has even distribution.

Saw your post in the Nutrients thread and followed your link...Glad I did! Subscribed!
BTW do you think the results are apt to be much different in a soil medium?

I'm gonna say you will have pretty close to the same results. If you look at the pictures of the flowers next to the house you'll see what I mean. There are two flowering bushes that are in the light all most the entire day. Then there are two that are in the sun only a small portion of the day. The ones that receive very little light where treated with Liquid Light & Saturator. When you see them in the pic where I show you all four at the same time you can clearly see the ones treated are almost double the size of the ones not treated.

the one at the top here in the light partially is one of the two smaller ones, then the two on the bottom are the ones treated...



and those are in the worst dirt possible, almost clay.

Cause I love them,

and cause I'm slowly figuring out how to use this camera.

Couple more,



The twins,



One of the ladies goin solo under the lights during a cleaning,



Tops are about an inch and a half thic,







just frickin buds every where!

Ok, justa few more, added some new gear,



love those things, love em' !!

roots have reached the side wall,





added some Purps to the tank



some Bubba Kush on the left at the top and some PG13 on the right at the top.

Wow, your ladies are definitely looking great! I didn't read through the whole thread just looked at most of the beautiful pictures you posted. I must say the trainwreck on page 1 has the craziest node spacing I have EVER seen. That's definitely the right way to do it

Good work man, I'm pullin' up a chair.

Thank you thank you! I'll take more pics later of the other strains, they are all stacked.

You're quite welcome sounds good to me!

ok here they come, how to clone with Touchet

Damn I just realized how many I had!

Well to start I will be using Dutch Master Replicator cloning gel. I normally use a 2L bottle cap for dipping but I spared no expense for this photo shoot.

Supplies:

1- Dutch Master Replicator
2- scissors
3- Mondi 8" Dome
4- standard propagation tray
5- rockwool 1" starter cubes, ph balanced and soaked in 1/8th strength nutrient solution.
6- One mother plant, "The Purps"
7- One mother plant- "Afgooey"
8- an assistant to take pics helps also.
9- 14cm plant stem labels
10- grease pencil or sharpie.

Step 1- I like to soak my starter cubes in ph balanced water with 1/8 strength nutrients.



Step 2- Pick a couple of victims. Afgooey on the left on "The Purps" on the right,



yup, no problem finding a branch or two on here than can afford to come off.



same with the gooey



Step 3- double check your supplies and make sure they are all within reach

Next pour some of your cloning gel into the cap/bottle (whatever), I used a clear one so we can see how things happen in there.



Next figure out which branches are going to be moving locations,



I have a lot so this doesn't effect my plants harvest at all. I usually choose well established branches with 5-7 sets of leaves from the bottom of the plant.





make sure to slice and dice them at a 45* angle.



Now this one is kinda small so I removed most of the lower leaves. Dip it into the gel quickly to avoid any air embolisms. Make sure to cover the bottom 1/4 inch with the gel.

a slightly better angle,



it was really hard to get the pic but you can see a nice amount of gel at the bottom of the stem.



into the cube she goes. I like to put a little pressure on the sides to kinda squish the rockwool around the stem



Now the lil lady above her is gonna join her,



straight into the gel





and yes I know they previously suffered a little nute burn, so save the ugly leaf comments lol



Besides, it's coming off anyway,

I like to take anywhere from 6-10 clones off each plant when I do it. I keep the best 4 and give the rest away.





lol, the lil one is hilarious but just watch what I do to it. So now we have 4, I'll stop here for now.
