ONEQ goes yummy... sigh

[one Q]

Man, I need to ventilate real fast.

Been feeling pretty bummed lately. for one my job, self employeed, has been stressing me out to the point that I want to sell the biz, and do something else. Problem is IDK what else... Thought about getting a job at the local shop but that means not being around any more grows.

Also, the garden just went all types of dumb on me... all of a sudden I cant get roots for shit! (testing the one in my sig now) but ive done 4 runs with zero roots... this is sad after years of 90% ... nothing has changed except I didnt realize an airstone in the cloner needed replacing... done... and still nothing.

found a great keeper of mum but all the seeds made from her grow like shit... so the promised ciesel (pdxc99) f2s for freebees are now all on hold for who the fk knows when...

Still have no luck finding a good Satori girl to keep. none compare to the one I lost.

I wont go into my personal life, but lets just say that I worked my ass off and would be in a way better place with my family if "she" didnt make lots a bad choices :bangs face on wall:

Im having a hard time just enjoying things in regular life, just got back from the beach a few days ago and man, I was still stressed during time off

Been battling small fits of depression and canna isnt helping like it used to... there's no way Im taking mad pills just to be "happy"

I realize that compared to lots of other situations I have it made, shit even some of my friends are worse off than I... but between work stress, everyday stress, and now garden stress (the only true escape I had)... I may need to just step away from it all for a while and get my thoughts in order.

Back to the grind have a todo list that needs doing...

thanks for listening... reading.

Sorry about you situation. Grow related problems can send me spiraling into depression. Can't help you much with your personal issues, but for cloning make sure the water is the correct temp (around 80F) and lightproof. I see you have aeration covered. Also you may want to use chem ferts instead of organic on your mothers before you take clones so you know they're well fed and will last long enough in the cloner to grow roots. Made a big difference for me.

Keep plugging away man, it'll come together for you.

cloning issues suck! I got 15 out of 35 on my last batch. Lemon skunk never clones good for me. My best cloning plant was NL so far. Hopefully my upcoming strains have faster rooting times.

 

[Sam the Caveman]

Cloning problems can certainly be depressing, as most grows, if not all, depend on that capability.

Best thing I could tell you to do is to try many different methods of cloning next round. There are thousands of different variations of cloning so I won't bore you with how I do it.

I have found when my grow is having problems, all my other problems seem worse than they normally do.

I hope you get things worked out.

 

[one Q]

As far as cloning goes, ive tried bubbles, vermiculite, coir, and rw... but after watching sublbc on youtube i may give rw a go again.

Sam, i think its the other way around for me this time. I think that the stress from work/being self employed and just everyday stress maybe causing me to do some subtle things different in the garden. IDK.

Just had a convo with the wife about all that's buggn me and just got a backrub... so it's already improving...

Peace.

switch to soil . i have tried all methods and nothing matches any soil and perlite 50/50 miracle grow soil really rocks with the ratios . 14 days for any strain and no need to transplant into anything unlike aero or bubble cloners. get over it and man up . better times lay ahead for you.

Anyone who has grown for years knows the frustration you're going thru. All I can recommend is that if you haven't done so go over ever detail of your grow with a fine tooth comb. If you're having problems there's a reason, you're just not seeing it. Often times it's because something has changed without us realizing it, so we assume "that's not it" because we think it's the same as it's always been. I had this happen to me once with well water during a year when levels dropped lower then normal. Something in the composition of the water changed which changed it's ph from a reliable 6.5 to a steady 6.0 for several months. I had stopped testing the water so much because it was always 6.5. It took me a while to realize that the water had changed because I had gotten comfortable with the idea of it always being 6.5.
