Since the clones are only without roots to supply nutrients for a couple of days at most, they continue to grow all the way through the cloning process.

There are several more days they vegetate in the beer cups while the roots expand to fill the cup and usually a couple days while they are all transplanted into the 6" pots.

But using this technique you won't really even notice much difference between clones that are flipped immediately after transplanting; and clones that are vegged for 10 or 15 days in the conventional cloning and growing manner.

In the first picture the room was still being put together, and the owners began cutting the clones from the mother plants and putting them into 16oz beer cups.
Keep in mind that they already have "some" roots. Most had visible roots of a couple inches, some just had barely visible roots. But the key factor is that they ALL had roots before even being cut loose from momma and were immediately growing once cut and placed into soil.



This next picture below was taken the day they were flipped 12/12. You can see that there are different sizes of plants on the shelves: The different sized plants is because each shelf was transplanted on different days, top shelves were transplanted first, then the middle shelves, and then the bottom shelves. So those clones on the bottom shelves were actually cut from their mother plants about 3 days before the picture was taken, whereas the top shelf was cut 10 days before. So there is a three day gap between the top shelves and the bottom, with the middle shelves in between.



Once they were all transplanted into 6" cups the light was changed 12/12 and was increased to 1K MH and 1K HPS for 10 to 12 days and another 1K HPS was added as the plants began to bush out.

16 Days after cutting them, they have always been able to up-take and the lower branches begin stretching for the lights.



At 36 days from cutting the clones they have never had any time when they couldn't get water and nutrients because they have always had roots.

excuse me, can you please tell me what the dilution is for the h2o2 mist? must have misseded it (jk) if you revealed that already.

instead of using ky jelly and hormones mixed, i applied rooting gel to the gauze part of a band aid and wrapped it around the wound (pinched spot). easy to see/find.

didn't want to start spraying them with something too strong. is 3% ok?

Hey Trich, In the OP I posted a link to my other thread about H2O2.


ADD THIS AMOUNT OF WATER TO THIS AMOUNT OF 3% PEROXIDE
1 cup - 1 and 1/2 teaspoons
1 quart - 2 tablespoons
1 gallon - 1/2 cup
5 gallons - 2 and 1/2 cups
10 gallons - 5 cups
20 gallons - 10 cups
bathtub (approx 25 to 35 gallons) *12 to 17 cups * bathtub sizes vary. It is okay to use more water and/or less peroxide.

what a thread for sure...such well pUt and thoughtful information laid out hear.....
U'r ability to explain and teach defiantly shines thru....U'r patients must surly gain more the medZ alone..... the knowledge it self is irreplaceable.....

TOP~NOTCH reading materials....... maybe even STICKY material sum~day

gonna keep me eye peeled for this one.....
