MY LITTLE SOG GOES 1000W

man this strain really does come on quick... great job

I agree. That strain is faster than anything I have ever seen!! Pretty interesting results may come from breeding her. I think HC is the holder of a very special strain there. This grow has been Rock Solid!!!
It is a strange little strain isn't it. Not a bad find from bag seed 8 years ago. I am very tempted to try colloidal silver or gibberellic acid to obtain feminized seeds but am not familiar with the methods. Mind you I am reading all the colloidal silver threads. It would be nice to have seeds in case of a catastrophe, disease or spider mites. I have managed to fend off a couple of spider mite attacks but only just.
For some protection I have given clones to friends in different locations. They are not crossing it so we can maintain the special characteristics. I have thought of breeding it but I would need a very special male, I don't know what though. My friends plants behave exactly the same way, short, fat leaves, very close node space and total indica couch lock. They grow with a variety of methods.
This shit is as good as done in 42 days but on this grow I will take it to 49 days, maybe more, just for a laugh.
Fun times with my little girlfriends.
I watered it before I put the clones in, shaked out the excess and haven't watered since. The tray is not sitting in water, it is in a plastic crate floating on water heated to 24C or 75F in another crate. My heat mat shit itself a while ago and this seemed like a good alternative to provide bottom heat to the clones. Cheaper too, it's just a standard small aquarium heater to warm the water. See my thread below, NOT ANOTHER CLONING THREAD for details.
Mind you I have never used sphagnum moss for cloning before, just thought I would give it a go. This method has worked very well with coco/perlite and jiffy pellets or rapid rooters before.
I like trying new things even though the tried and trusted work.
barlas, they might all just drop dead, who knows, never be afraid to try something different, the world would be a boring place otherwise.
This gives me enthusiasm !! I was the same, slowly shorting the day the way nature does it,But a little quicker to hasten the plant to ripen quicker.just wanted to throw this in...
a friend of mine was telling me that in order to "hurry" on a strain for finishing, you might want to consider playing with the length of photoperiod during flowering, although naturally, yeild will be affected.... here's a quote
edit - I should point out that I personally have NEVER tried this, although I do intend to on my next run (which I have to complete in 8 weeks from start as I mentioned before
42 DAYS
42 DAYS
The grow area smells of heavy licorice, a beautiful smell over powers and pervades the nasal passages on entering. Every touch leaves a trace of this smell, the girls are at their prime.
No such thing as a fat little top cola on these girls. It covers top to bottom, even better in single cola style SOG.
A TRUE SOG PLANT, IDEAL
NO DISEASE, NO SPIDER MITES
I could easily cut these down right now. Trichomes are good to go, for my liking that is, all milky. But I'm going to amber them up a bit
Out of 53 clones I took, 4 are now dead. But roots from some are coming out of the bottom of the tray, so that appears to be working. I only want 36 healthy clones.
The timing of harvest to clone and new SOG run is going well.
Happy days again.

By doing 18/6 and 12/12 for the light regime we are playing with the length of the photo period. Grow and flower. By doing it this way we control the plant. Nature takes a bit longer, a lot.

Sphagnum moss cloning is a success. Out of 53 cuts 49 now have roots in 14 days. That's about a 92% success rate so I am happy with that considering I have never used sphagnum moss as a cloning medium before.
So next time your short of whatever medium you normally use for cloning give sphagnum moss a go. Peat moss would work too.
36 of these clones will go into the next single cola style SOG run and then I will have 13 left over to play with.
49 CLONES NOW UNDER A 430 HPS TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE KICK START
ROOTS ON CLONES APPEARING FROM BOTTOM OF TRAY
AND THE LITTLE SOG CONTINUES ON IT'S WAY
TIME IS NEARLY UP

beautiful stuff as always mate! glad to see the spagnum moss worked a treat, i'll have to give that a go in the future
FLOWERLETS?
FLOWERLETS?
I was just wandering who else gets this sort of growth on their plants. This a flower forming on a fan leaf at the axial where the stem meets the leaf. I think it is called a flowerlet. If you do get it, what is the strain, sativa or indica. It is quite common on my indica dominant strain and develops on many fan leaves in late flowering. That's why I don't do a meticulous trim like some people.

if cut @ the stem base & the petiole scarred & placed in water/media, does base/petiole form roots?

I don't know, so let's give it a go.
LEAF AND FLOWER
A LITTLE SOAK IN CLONEX
INTO WATER IN AN ICE CUBE TRAY
INTO MY WARM WATER CLONER
PUT THE DOME ON IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
I'm not confident but you will never know if you don't have a go!
ha, interesting stuff mate hope it takes! it'll be interesting to see the results
hope it takes! it'll be interesting to see the resultsmaybe cut base to cambium layer & cover square to shade water.
l@nd-race i's seem ok @ this, maybe....
the re-veg also should form some interesting growth, from flower.
would be also nice to compare to a leaf w/out a meristem/terminal flower, to compare how long takes for nodule to form from converting tissue to meristem...
gr@fting aslo method takes tyme... & healthy stock/cultivar...
2 different main plant stems, sharing same root system? @ https://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.php?p=3588880&postcount=9
cheers

spectacular shot this flower in da leaves man..nice job i can't wait for see what happen..enjoyed with your garden the plants look so beautifull!!!!

Yes, I figure this will be a long process, the re-veg process, cloning a leaf, WTF, you can't clone a leaf, maybe you can.
Some how I don't think this will work. But we'll give it a go.
