400w room getting there and got the 100gal smart pot a little over half full with horse manure, crab meal, DE, rock dust, various hays, bag of bu, bag of hd compost and the contents of my worm bin I had going with Hd compost. It was loaded with worms and tons of little white baby worms. The 3k I put in there doubled easily
Room updates tomorrow probably

Day 4 flower in the 400w room and gals vegging in the 1k room (currently under a 400w) starting to take off. One of the moms didn't like the transplant too much but she bounced back.
Hoping to finish the other 400w room off this week and hopefully my seeds come this week

Little update
400w room is at day 11 flowering now and 1k room has been switched out with the new 1k hood with ushio hps bulb. Most the seeds have popped and I got my pack of tester purple rains that is currently soaking. Gonna finish off the other 400w room this week and if the clones root after there last redo where I utilized bleach and cloning gel I'll probably be getting that room going within 2 weeks or less.

Just 1 drop in 2 gallons, It's for the sterilization mostly. Dunno how much a difference it made but some people swear by it, just trying (and failing miserably atm haha) to successfully get my cloning game down.
So the gal in the 5 gallon ended up being hermie, I had already suspected she was susceptible but I was thinking it may have been the light leaks in my old room. Guess it was genetics :doh: Kinda a bummer but I got plenty of plants that would love to take her space. Think I'm gonna throw some of my haze leaning seedlings in there.
Finished the 400watt room, just need some damn plants to root and I can get it going. Giving these clones till the end of the month than I'm just gonna fill this thing with seedlings haha
when I take cuts I soak em overnight in water with a lil coconut water...
a dip in the grey powder (indole-3-butyric) per coot's instruction and into my cups
I been usin jello puddin cups before the solos, cause my kid leaves a million behind... and the roots show faster in jello cups... so I know... I just wrap the sides of the jello cups in duct tape to protect from light, but the clear bottom shows the roots
my seed and clone mix is 1/3 EWC 1/3 rice hulls 1/3 spaghnum maybe a lil lava rock if its small enough pieces
first I pick my branches... I cut the leaves into the palm tree shape while still on the plant.... give it a bit, then I cut em above a node at a 45, and peel by hand the 2nd node's branch downward to peel a string of fiber all the way down like string cheese.... they go into water with both nodes submerged overnight.... sometime during the next day i prepare my cups with soil... hole stabbed in the center with a screw... I fold a piece of paper in half, and put a pile of grey powder... I remove the cuts and roll them in powder.. knocking off the excess, they go into the soil, and I pack it firmly around the stems... if a stem gets air in it, it gets harder and wooden and will not root, so firmly packing soil around the stems is a key step... after that into humidity they go....

Thanks for the tip c4! I've been doing something similar but you have some good tips, after talking to a member on a different forum I'm starting to think The White is just a bitch of a strain to clone.
take a clone from a slightly harder, more wooden area.... 45 it and stab it into half a potato... bury the potato just under the soil surface and allow it to graft to the potato... which will allow it to root through the potato.... I think you still have to put yer tater pot under humidity and whatnot, like everything else....

400w room is day 21 now, looking good as ever
1k room ain't looking to shabby either, gonna probably flip this room next week.
Seedlings are starting to take off, I actually have 5 already in flower in the 5gal SP the hermie plant was in. Got a SSSDHxg13,NLxohaze and abyss99(c99xdc) in there.
abyss99, most vigorous of all my seedlings

Kalichakra, these seeds must have been old stock, only 2/5 popped and the other gal is just now getting above the soil but that may have been user error haha. Hopefully this is a winner.
SSSDHxg13
Purple Rain
I got a new air pump(biggest "Fusion" they make) and its like 100 times more silent than the eco-plus haha obviously not as powerful but perfect for 1-2 gallon brews and now I can have it going 24/7.
