GIRL's GOT SKILLS

[Aspenou812]

I had one Vinaigrette that had a really wild structure I nicknamed her Crazy Eyes and grew her off to the side for some harvest smoke... Small fire Ass Buds all day long lol got her trimmed and drying...that’s a 3x3 drying screen for wet bud. I normally do a dry trim

 

[Aspenou812]

So it looks like I beat the borg and made it to harvest with no bad effects other than missing a whole lot of training time in veg and early flowers.. this is how I dry plants... snip the stems and flip how easy is that?

 

[Aspenou812]

Almost time to trim it up...

Aspenou812 Love the drying racks well done TY for the pics. Glad to see it still come out good in the end...

They aren’t drying racks... I flip my scrogs upside down and cut the main stem out for drying..... Takes all of 5 minutes to have them all hanging for the dry ya know...

 

[flylowgethigh]

I assume that is a multi-person operation to flip the SCROG with the plants in it. Looks like you will get a harvest for all the work you put in. GL.

 

[Aspenou812]

Takes Two of us to flip...

Blows my mind just how generous the weed gods are.. With all the issues... Bad Coco. Brod and two spot mites and not to mention my nutrients falling out like crazy... The quality definitely showed up and I pulled 14.3 dried pounds... It’s all about the work you put in... fogging every 3 days for 8 out of 10 weeks just sucked... It was a tone of work but it paid off

 

[Aspenou812]

So one thing I’ve had to figure out is cloning... You name it and I’ve got it.. Done them all Rockwool, perlight, turbo klone, Peat pucks, Rapid rooters, coco cups even air layering and using rooting pods that clip to branches full of coco and hormones... keep in mind I live in one of the hottest dampest areas of the country so having damp things sitting around well they usually start to rot not take root.. I prefer the aero cloner then rock-wool then rapid rooters..
The aero clone machine I use has let me down so many times... freaking thing goes from 100% success to I’ll get lucky and see a few root nubs... lmfao I’ve lost so many Fire ass genetics in that cloner as well as other cloning methods
About two and a half years ago I found the Perma Clone websight and tried something wild... Adding an Oxidizer to the solution and I use bleach... 3drops per gallon it works wonders anyone else doing this?

Nope I've never had an issue cloning in rockwool, using Clonex Gel. Soak cubes on 5.5ph nutrients for an hour then clip dip and into a humidity dome with vents closed. I also add about a cup of water to bottom of tray to keep humidity up.

Once or twice a day lift the lid to let in fresh air.

After 2 days open the vents but continue to lift whole lid couple times a day.

After 4 days take lid off for an hour. If they wilt put lid back and try again next day until they don't wilt.

Notice I didn't mention watering the cubes. Cubes won't need watered until plants are a day or 2 out of the dome.

^^^ very important in rockwool ^^^

Is that the only reason to pre-soak Rockwool and only needs to be less than 2 minutes?

I soak mine overnight, then squeeze out some the solution. That usually is good for 4 or 5 days for me and then I add just enough to keep them barely moist.

 

[Aspenou812]

I know how to clone and am Proficient with all of the above mentioned clone methods Rock Wool is my second favorite do I get about 95% all the time hell I just rooted 30 plants that were at week 8 of flower and got great roots on 90%.. Sorry I didn’t clarify.. I was asking if you guys use an oxidizer in with your clone solutions... I use bleach 3 drops per gallon of Ro I’m mixing.. If I don’t use bleach my success rates falls to 50% or worse.. So have y’all tried an oxidizer it raeally keeps the nasty stuff away and I get great white roots... I basically use the perma clone receip for everything Adjusting the pH as necessary

I have great results when the temps are no more than low 70's and I can run a warming mat at 80. Once the temps get 76 or higher and there is no significant differential to the mat temperature, success goes down for me.

I use trays with domes and mist with a mix of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 70% isopropyl to keep the rot at bay. I use rapid rooters instead of rockwool, but other than that follow the same general idea of closing the domes to start and then weaning the cuts off the humidity by opening the vents and then removing the domes for longer periods of time each day. the only thing I would suggest is that rapid rooters may dry out faster than rockwool by a bit.

Aspenou812 it drives me insane too. The only thing I can tell you is that the people I see knocking clones out consistently seem to do it in an environmentally controlled space.

If you have that covered, then it comes down to the health of you donor plants and where you are taking the cuts from. Since cannabis tends to drive growth to the upper tips, if your donor plant is not well fed, taking lower cuts can drastically reduce your chances of success.

Thats another reason I like to take cuts early when I'm topping instead of taking lower growth from plants going into or already into flower.

Ok so I’m the only bitch running oxidizers in my Rez... got it y’all should try it it works... Algae and inanimate bio slime will take over my trays cloner or whatever in three days flat if I don’t run an oxidizer in the Rez or in the media.... I have a climate controlled shop... It’s all environmental and the only fix is moving or using an oxidizer... the Rh in the shop even with ac going Varys wildly

 

[Aspenou812]

Good times my boat is booked I solid today 16 divers getting certs... It’s an amazing spring day on the water

 

[antheis]

i'm trying to get a whole branch to root in some dirty ass bucket filled with rainwater. (this is for poops an chuckles)

but honestly adding bleach is a pretty good idea. i'll give it a whirl. i'm usually down to try anything i read on the internet.

Hydrogen peroxide?

I’m Killing it on the water... It’s a good thing all total I’m about 11k behind and running in the red... Getting Caught up with my bills which are quite high because I’m a boat captain and catching up on all the love that my friends have shown me are priority number 1.... Working 14 to 16 hours a day trying to do that and hang on... I’ve got great pot selling too so it shouldn’t be long... Doing day and night time charters night sword fishing is big right now and Lt Dan had 12 people on the boat last night and landed several fish the best sword was 175 pounds smallest was 82 lbs this morning I did 2 dive charters and I’m fueling for a flats run out to the Venice Louisiana Riggs for some Tuna Deep Dropping that’s a few hundred miles in a straight shot.. Tomorrow I have 3 6 hour fishing charters out of Venice Louisiana... That’s 3 half day charters in one day... We got a few gifts from Lindgren Pitman and the fisherman in LA two 24v reels on wishbone rods about 30k in fishing gear total but they have been trying to get me fishing for years but it’s paying so I’m doing it... Line fishing isn’t really my thing but I grew up doing it with my Dad so I know all about it... these new reels are amazing we also carry about 12 more when fishing so we can chase anything that swims now... I just need the money it’s like a small refit to switch between fishing and diving mode on the boat.. Takes about an hour and a half.. but it’s all part of the SALT LIFE right we do what we gotta do.. The next day it’s a Free diving for swords at night with spear guns... Should be a wild time and some daytime dive runs...
