Read any faq or watch any video on youtube about cloning... I don't know anybody that would try to root a clone that big, or root in coco. Most clones are lucky to have 3 leaves on them, and most often those 3 leaves are cut in half, and then they're stuck in clonex which works ok, hell water works ok, then in rockwool, then under very low light for the first 4 days under a humidity dome misting often and fanning in fresh air or with wilt spray, then med low light for up to 2 weeks if you really suck at it. If you have left them alone those last weeks without the dome and no misting and they look healthy by that time then they'll have made it.

Cubes should be kept consistently just barely moist and NEVER NEVER WET.
Leaves wet while using the dome.

Or build a basic aerocloner, nothing is easier or faster than cloning in aero. bubblecloners aren't nearly as good or fast as aero but are a million times easier than what you are trying to do which I think is just about impossible if not completely impossible.

Nice plant though...

Thanks for the tip Oregon, I do have an aerocloner DIY im building currently. I only needed one or two clones to survive and have watched some you tubes and I just thought at the time I took my cutlings my plant was just way more beefy IDK it was my first shot at it... anyhow of these four, I ripped one out a week after taking it it had no roots so I dipped it in clonex again and dropped it back in the coco. IDK man its been like four weeks now and they are still green and kickin. Personally I feel like there are no roots, I over nuted them purposly just to see if I got a response and I did. I also stick these outside all day for the last week a least... they are still kicken. Hopefully it works out. But yea I think aero the way to go as well.

Anyhow thanks for droppin by, your knowledge is appreciated. Here are some pics if you would like to drop another dime in for me.

are you useing CO2, if so how long do you leave it off before in between co2 cycles?
I set regulator to flow of 5-7 have run 5 mins an hour during lights on only. My area is now 3x6x8. Ill probubly pump it up more towards the end as well.

Got my 2nd lumatek 600 in! I went with a different hood this time that seems a lot better shape. now I have a 3x6x7ft area with these two lights in it. bought a cheezy light meter that made my day when i saw that lil bastard pingin... The last pic shows the massive footprint the grand daddy mama is. There will probably be another round of shots tonight as I peeked and these shots look outdated already.

looking good... I actually saw a good post by MYGirls and he was saying something about trimming in the 2 and 4th week of flowering or something along those lines. Hit him up, he is super nice, I cant remember exactly what he said as when to trim, but he is a knowledable member, I personally never trim my leaves back.
.. congrats on the purchase ..
peace in
much love

I started with 2x4x8 and that was 3 mins w/ reg set at 2 and it was calculated for I believe 1000 I used to have a calculator Im sure you can probably google it. Sorry though I cant remember what the formula for it is. Its also in a book by rosenthal called c02 and your plants or something like that its just a small 40 page book has good info.

Lookin good my bro, cant wait to see how they go with the extra light.

As for the trimming its basically up to you if you want to trim more off or not. I usually like to have most of my trimming done before flowering but as the plant continues to grow during flower some branches dont take off as well as others so I remove them. Basically if the branch is only goin to produce little light buds then I get rid of it coz they are the suckers that I dont want. If your unsure then the best thing to do is trim some and leave some so you can see the difference with your own eyes and then you will know exactly what to do in the future. You will get to know which branches you should trim during the veg stage to save yourself from trimming during flower.

Fuck im wasted so I hope that all makes sense bongsmilie
