I'm assuming the glue is a viney type the can be woven without snapping???
up to a point,when they get older and woodier they get brittle,but the fresh growth is generally pretty pliable and it takes a super crop pretty well in early veg....even when branches break i can usually tape them back together and the glue almost always manages to heal the wound...the glue 45 i started spreading the branches out and doing lst right away and it vegged up to a nice size really quickly...

I've had pretty good luck with pinching the stems to create a soft spot before bending them over later in flower . but yeah they get woody as they grow .

speaking of soft spots...like the one in my head! lol
the new ride has arrived,unfortunately the front tire is flat and it has stans no tube in it so i really have no idea if i can slap a tube in there or not...there were a gazillion goatheads in the rear tire so it may be flat too...the leaks seem to have stopped though...needs to be cleaned,theres chain lube all over the rear end..otherwise everything looks good,just a couple of paint scratches..not bad for less than half price..

well it turns out you can just slap a tube in the tubeless tires and they work fine..gonna go and bounce around for a bit on the shocks...

Nice Bike Unc!

Im shopping for a fat tire bike right now. I know why I havnt seen one around here. The REIs are all out of stock on all. I saw one pugsly in Oakland, but it was a small frame.
I didnt realise the tires were 4.8" wide? Now Im interested. Both trailers are nice too. Bill or Teds excellent adventure trailer

if i'm not mistaken the pugsly runs 3.8"s the moonlander is the only one that runs the 4.8"s
now i gotta double check lol

yup the pugsly runs 3.8 " tires the Pug Ops has the wider forks so you can run 4.8 but comes with the 3.8's stock . the moonlander runs the 4.8"
that moonlander is a Beast !!!

Going to clean up the undersides of 2 of the ladies and leave 2 of em....see if theres any noticeable difference.

Third, ime the gg is bendy when the stems are green, if its unhappy and has purple stems they will snap quick.
One of my clones' stems turned purple, I must have pissed her off a bit. Either overfeeding, overwatering, or underwatering:biggrin: One of those.


I wonder if they took away helpful/unhelpful because of that GET RID OF THIS PLEASE THREAD?


PF, that thing is sweet. :smoke:


WL, why did ya wait so damn long to take clones? Now they're gonna have to reveg I would think.

PF, Ive seen your pics, your stems are green. Your petioles (the stems of the leaves) are purple.

Big difference.

Ill take a pic. Hold on.


And I can clearly see your stems are green in that pic you just posted.
You can barely see it, but look towards the bottom, right under the bud. The stem is green.

Ill show you purple stems

Pappy, this is when i always take clones....i dont keep moms! Ive found that taking clones 2-3 weeks into flowering may take a couple extra days to root, but they become brancy as all hell. If you take the clones from under the screen (where it gets less light....they dont seem as far advanced as say a top shoot)

this isnt the best pic, but you can see how many branches this produced and i didnt top it once...

No I got it here from a glass shop.. These are mass produced. there not made by a vendor like Mobious or similar. It is very nice though. it's thick glass 7mm. looks very well made. if it had a blowers name on it I would not be able to tell the diferance. I have 2 expensive ashcatcher 150$+ this on is just as good from what I can tell 55$


PM if your refering to the main branches then yes those are all green..
