Legalization is a crop of shit, isn't it?

Same baloney up here.

I hear you...... so what I don't get... is why the system seems to be more about money than law enforcement....

I have a new perspective on how I plan to make sure I comply with the law and don't once again find myself being ground in the gears of the law.....

My feeling there is an opportunity.... but I'm going to hide my take on a legal grow....tacked on to this one about air layering...

I thought that would be ok since my intent is to place an air layer on each plant in a perpetual grow..... 2 plants in .....2 plants harvested every 7 days...

But even that isn't quite true..... ideally you harvest one plant every 3.5 days.....

You process that plant and get it the hell out of your house...

I also plan to introduce everyone to my little friend.....

The trimmer was pricey but I love mine...... I consider it an investment....

So far we have only done two plants....

How much time you save depends on how you preprocess....

What I do is to remove by hand all leaves by removing the stem...

The machine only does the final manicure.....

That's my preference....leave more medium sized leaves on....saves time

Did the cuttings still root? I honestly don't care if the plant dies this time as long as all the layers have rooted!

I bet a giant garbage bag to act as a humidity dome could have helped delay the plant dying some, but maybe not, hope I don't have to worry about that.

Maybe letting the plant die, or even stressing it sometime after layering your branches could speed up the process to some degree, or release more hormones to help the root nubs emerge faster.

Perhaps I will leave a few air layers attached, and pull some crazy experiments. Like shocking the root zone with ice, pumping it full of additives, electro-shock therapy, etc. Any suggestions?

I actually took a 2 air layers last month just to be safe. They are thriving in small cups of coco, pampered and hand fed with turtle aquarium water multiple times everyday.

Also teaching a friend and new grower, to air layer right from the start. Has no idea how easy he has it. Probably will never live to see whole trays of clones wilt lol.

With the air layering I will be doing I need a long veg....I use 10 weeks in the perpetual....

I will allow 5 weeks for the air layer to root.... I'm confident with using only one air layer per plant....most of them will root..... but I'm also confident some will not....

I think it will be a fun experiment....

Mind you I have a backup clone source...... If I could achieve a near 100% success rate I would be happy.....

Nope the plant now has no way for the leaves to feed the roots....the plant died very quickly..... that was one of the surprises....

RIP plant..s..

Damn. Used to try this for foot long clones. Only worked when I had no air exchange around the cut.
