Hi guys.
So I have started this new thread to continue the learning and share more of what I have done. Balancing the two worlds is rough but bare with me.
I have just today, cloned out two mothers into 64 clones. See pictures of before and after. The mothers were getting waaaayyyyyy too tall for the veg room so they needed to be cloned. Both mothers were of utmost health when cloned, rooted with clonex gel and a rooting powder, cut at a 45 on all of them and slit vertically for enhanced root growth. Then dipped into rooting solution and put into rockwool cubes, see pictures.
The flowering plants are gertting huge as well, see pictures.
What I have learned from this is that cloning can not only e a joyous activity but is very good for continuing your growing. I have 64 clones right now, they will have time to root then in 4-5 weeks I will put them into flower right behind harvest of the current crop.
For the next grow I have decided to change over to hydro. All the clones are in rockwool cubes, and now they will be going into 1 gallon pots with hydroton. I have purchased the tubing, pump, and have a rubbermaid reservoir. All I need to buy are the splitters for the tubing. I may also choose to purchase stakes to fix the tubes in suchaway that they feed directly to the plant stem area. Then a recylce system, to reverse the water back into the reservoir.
I have experienced difficulty with soil, not only that it's dirty (dirt), but my plants got too big as well, and watering them has become difficult. So a dirtless system is cheap and solves a lot of problems. Pump, hose, reservoir, stakes, splitters. $40-$50 bucks is more than enough.
Here is where you look at the pictures.
Happy growing in 2010.
