With my beta I used the least desirable plant also for the trial, but I did notice this last week increased vigor and bud loading, I just think it took it a while to get to the rez. So my thought would be to go with a rez. Make it small such that it gets used every day. Start with 1/2" and work your way up, I'm willing to bet this will help your runt pick up the pace once it sets roots in the water supply.
Dank, ..get some blue nitrile gloves at Home Depot for ≈5-7$ for 50. Amazon is even cheaper....They are nicely fit so you keep your dexterity with scissors. Sorry ..no guitar playing with them however. Cheap enough to toss every hour or so as you take a break which is necessary to reduce repetitive trauma to your guitar finger's tendons. The moisture while wearing does soften the pads on your finger tips so do air them out often to keep hammer-on's/off's crisp. Frosty mom's?... hmmmm. I have some fresh Blue Cheese sprouts that look frosty already...under a scope you can see a hairy texture that reflects light ...don't know if that's what you are seeing but frosty is good! Puts a sheen on everything....
I haven't looked too hard. But......
Jela10, thanks for the advice on gloves. I'm definitely picking these up for the next round of trimming. The plush berry mom is pushing out crystals like a flowering plant. Thinking its because she's completely mature and wanting to bud. This is the first mom I've vegged for an extended period of time so it's new and interesting. Hoping the clones take though as she is a very nice plant to grow! The bag of plush berry drying smells very fruity.
Hey Kingramo,
Please feel free to post pics of what you have goin' on.
Rapid Rooters are the Bomb Dank!....I've done some clones in them surrounded by perlite in hempy party cups and they did fine...but where they shine for me is seed germination. I used to soak seeds, put'em in paper towels then into the rooters but Subcool from TGA Seeds has a method that is lightening fast and easy. You turn the RR upside down (no hole end), jab the back end of some tweezers into it to make a slot, then pick up your seed with the tweezers and shove it in with the pointed end of the seed pointed down. Then you put the moistened RR's in a plastic shoe box ( they stand up easily with the wide end down now), close it up with a small CFL overhead it for warmth and instant gratification when the sprout appears. Flawless. I'd bet ya the same end of the RR would be great for clones too since the slot you make is a little more snug than the one they provide. Plus they stand up without the need for molded tray.
) Tomorrow I'll get 2nd Cloner online.
seriously. ... atm its mainly on the leaves but its has taken a darker hue all round. In a couple of days I'll post some better pictures in proper light.
I veg at 24/0.
Nice! When you do your next round of hempy are you going straight 12/12 from rooted clones or will you veg for a couple of days?
I can't do veg, too many Hempys and I would need another room as I'm in perpetual harvest atm. Mine are straight to 12/12 from rooted clone. In fact, the clones are going in with about 2-3" of roots (very young!) ... I feel there is less chance damaging the roots when transplanting to Hempys if the roots are shorter.
i read somewhere that giving them some iced water in the last few weeks can bring out the colour a treat but idk,anyone have experience doing this?
Ive heard the 'ice water' thing before. .. I would worry about stressing the plant, i'll look into it more and if I can find someone who does it I may give it a try. ... To lower night temps I'm considering running my lights during the day.i read somewhere that giving them some iced water in the last few weeks can bring out the colour a treat but idk,anyone have experience doing this?
