I love oasis root cubes (obviously due to size and being able to cut to right amounts and stand up straight easy), but rapid rooters and everything else getgrowin said is spot on. Really watch the temp swings during summer that is almost always when people start noticing a higher failure rate. I like to keepem domed for first 5 days.

@Tangerine_ Why did you “have” to? Something against cloners?

That’s what I use, and get roots on 90+% within 10 days. Just a small, healthy branch, two or three nodes above the neoprene cuff, no hormones or nutes or bennies or aloe, just clean tap water. They stand tall with no dome or misting. If no roots in 10 days I’ll switch out the water. I’ve tried many other ways with lesser success, this just seems so easy i definitely will continue to use it!

Also a while back you mentioned a plant you grew (Space Cake maybe?) that sent out tons of skinny shoots when you topped it. Was it anything special? I’ll soon have a similarly-built Space Monkey as my last girl standing in flower with a month plus remaining. Odor wise She’s not as standout as her sister who’s done soon and structure wise definitely not a keeper. So I might throw in the towel on her as summer is busy in AK with lotsa visitors. Plus I’m well stocked.

Also... Does anyone know, Is there something in the Space Monkey lineage that’s long and lanky with long internode spacing, that might be showing here?

My clone game has been way off lately too. I've chalked it up to either a pathogen or the warmer weather from the seasonal change...or both.
I had to break out my aero cloner just to make sure I don't fall too far out of rotation with everything. I cant recall the last time I had this much trouble.
I know this isn't the appropriate thread but I trust the growers in here far more than any where else on the forums
So....I'm open to any tips, solutions, gels, sprays...anything!

TIA

IDK how it happened, but I topped one of my HAOGxSSDD's, well, both of them, and cloned both of the tops, and one had roots sticking every which way out of the pod in less than about 10 days. All I used was a Solo cup, Plastic sandwich baggie, rooting powder, and a jiffy pellet. The other one rooted like a day later. at least rooted through the pellet. I just sealed them up as well as I could, after trimming the fan leaves, and tucked them in the back of the veg tent. Never opened them, watered them again, anything. just set and forget, let them do their thing, and I got roots. Best cloning attempt for me so far. Maybe you're fucking with them too much? Thats my only guess. But you could be right on as well, with the temps and whatnot.

So my first batch of testers (TK x orgasmatron) popped but then all but 3 got eaten by a rodent and I emailed Bodhi to apologize. I just received this in the mailimage.jpgReally can't thank them enough they are the best people. I was not expecting two packs but I will find space. I also popped a pack of magenta hashplant a week or so ago so will be a fun summer.

I need some suggestions... I only have space for 6 plants in my tent. I have 20 different strains. My plan is to grow 2 seeds of 3 different strains. I have a 4x4 area where i can veg some plants. How would you guys go about it if you were working with this kind of space?

I want to try making some crosses as well.

If it´s a veg tent why do you only have space for 6 plants? No way in hell I´d kill 14 unsexed plants, specially when I can veg 10-20 plants to a decent size on a 4x4 (watch out that humidity/VPD). Next time probably think about this before popping the seeds? (not flaming, I´ve been there)

I have nothing in my tent yet. Im germinating 3 different strains at the moment. I have 20 different strains of seeds that I havent popped.

Well you don't have 20 different strains until you actually propagate and sex them...so all you currently have is a concept. Plant more seeds.....

20 different packs of seeds, my bad. What would you guys do if you were working with my kind of limited space? How many packs would you start off with?

Is this your first time growing? I know the excitement of wanting to have a wide variety for your stash, so I'd focus on that well before you try your hand at crossing.

With roughly a 50/50 m/f ratio from regular seed, I'd pop 3 seeds each of 4 strains, for a total of 12 seeds. That will give you the best odds of getting a female for each strain without popping entire packs. Keep in mind that the market is flooded with F2 seeds created willy-nilly, so you may not find a plant that is as described.

At about a month in from seed, the plants should be ready to top. Create clones from the tops, and when they've rooted, plant them in your medium (I prefer soil) and wait a couple more days for them to recover from shock. At that point, I'd take one clone of each plant and put them into 12/12 in your tent, checking every day for pre-flowers. If you find a male, toss it along with the plant it came from. When you have all females, you will probably find you have more than 6 plants, so you'll either have to kill the rest off, or keep them in your veg area until the next grow.

It will likely take growing the plant out a few times before you can get it dialed in, which will give you time to hone the art of drying and curing the herb. Once you've got that down, you can tell which strains have your desired effect and start to think about making crosses.

I had issues as well and went to rapid rooters . Soak rapid rooters in Life by rx green solutions as well as the cuts when cut from momma , cut the 45 on bottom dip in rooting gel and into the rapid rooters just don’t push the end all the way to the bottom of rooter or the end will rot. DONT WRING OUT THE ROOTER and Don’t put water in the tray! Lol learned the hard way. Mist once a day for 5 days and have roots in a week usually. Have to use a dome and a heat pad under the tray always increased strike rate. I had the botanicaire cloner and when summer came my game went from nearly 100% to like 60% now with rapid rooters and plain old tray dome and heat mat I’m back to pretty well everything. The life from rx green solutions is good shit and is a liquid so also can be used in aero cloners.

I've been using the Root Riot plugs. Basically the same peat plugs as Rapid Rooters.
I've had 95% using this method with a vented dome. I just set em and forget em. In 7-10 days I'd have healthy white roots. I'd​
been using just aloe and RO water but I believe the temperature swings were the culprit. One day its 80F and humid as hell and the next its 40F with 30% humidity. These swings went on for a good 2-3wks. It can get really extreme here when the seasons change.
I'll def. look into RX Green. I think I've used their cloning gel before.

Use a larger rw cube 1.5 - 2 inch cube. Soak it, add a very small amount of food if you can. You can also add a scoop of Great White into the mix. Cut nice fresh plant tissue, small amount of purple clonex, and stick it. The larger cubes allow moisture to stick around usually until the clone pop roots. Occasionally I'll have to get the cube wet again. At that point it gets another light dose of food and definitely some Great White in the mix.

I'd look at the mom side of things though. I'd be doing a flush, a feed, and then dose them hard with beneficials. Photosynthesis Plus and Nourish-L would be my choice for beneficials, just water them in the watering after feeding. That should get the girls back on track.

Nope. Nothing against it at all. I actually love the aero cloner but mine only holds 24 cuttings and I can do 72 with the peat plugs in roughly the same amount of time give or take a day or two. Well...at least I used to be able to. I know it sounds like a lot of cuttings but I've been popping a lot of seeds lately as well as keeping the males for F2s so I've been taking cuttings of everything and then culling as I go.
Like most, I've lost some amazing strains in the past so now I'm a stickler for cuttings and labelling everything.
And in the summer I have a hard time keeping the water temps down in the aero cloner unless I remember to keep a fresh ice pack in it. I suppose I could always set in on the basement floor. That might work OK.

I think you'd like the Space Cake. I've nvr grown the Space Monkey but the Space Cake was really nice. Completely covered in frost and one of the better cookie crosses I've run. There's some pics of it in this thread somewhere. The terps were great but didn't wow me until they'd been in the jars for a couple wks. I tried upping the yield by topping it a couple of times and it didn't respond well at all. It could've been due to something else but I'll never know. I lost it right after that grow and didn't get a chance to run it again. I'm hoping it wasn't just a "one off" and the next round will give me something similar.

Its on my short list of packs I need to revisit. I might give the ttNL6 x Appy another go as well.
