Hi all,

I grew out 12 F1 mob boss seeds, labeled them 1 through 12. There is a thread here.

I kept one, Mob Boss #4, and plan on trying 30 plant SOG with it (30 6" pots with hydroton in a 3'x3' tray). I plan on using lucas formula (8ml per gallon micro, 16ml per gallon flower), plus I add 1ml per gallon of CalMag and 1ml per gallon of Flourilicious Plus.

Here is a pic of #4 it at 7 weeks flower. It starts frosting up at 4 weeks...



Unfortunately another plant hermed and #4 got seeded a little, but here is a pic of the bud:



I had two cuts from her and have been vegging them for the past 6 weeks or so under a 600w HPS (I wasn't using my flower tent) after keeping them in a holding pattern in 6" pots under a 250w mh (my mom tent). One is trained a little and was a smaller cut, while the other has been topped a few times and was larger starting. Here is the trained one:



Here is the topped one:



Here is a close up and the stalk of the one of the right:



I have three tents. Here is my mom tent. It's 30"x30" and has a 6" carbon filer hooked to a 250w MH 6" cooltube.


The exhaust is also the exhaust for the lights in the flower tent, which is 8"x4" and has a 5'x6" cooltube with 2x 600w hps lamps hooked to the exhaust fan. There is also a filter and fan for the flower tent itself. I hung box fans from both sides of the tent and used a pvc piece to make clearance for circulation for them. I have 2x 3'x3' ebb and flow trays with 2x 150 quart coolers for res. I use eco 396 pumps (I haven't hooked the pump up to this side yet) for ebb and flow. I also use 6" pots with hydroton and flood for five minutes one hour before lights on then every four hours until lights off, and once during lights off for 5x a day, e.g. if lights are 7pm to 7am I would flood at 6pm, 10pm, 2am, 6am, and 12 noon.



I also have a 24"x24" clone tent with a 30 site EZcloner, a 98w T5 fixture, and a a 4" filter leading to a 4" exhaust fan. It connect to the lights and flower tent exhausts and it goes out in one. Here is the cloner with no clones...



Here is it with clones and shot with the filter:


I use bungee cords to hang the lights, the zip ties were in case I want to lower the light but i don't need to. I might even raise the light more...

I took the cuts today so in two weeks I'll put them in the pots. I reuse the rocks. I have a 3" net pot to put over shop vac hose to suck out dead dry root matter from the rocks.

topclass setup,mobboss must be very happy..atb

Nice setup...real clean and organized. I struggle daily and still cant keep my shit that clean. But my girl does a good job, once a week she gives it a good overhaul...

Gonna be a fun ride Hansolo, nice an' clean an lookin' good.

I had a small power issue a couple of days after the cuts and for some reason had the pump on a timer to use a switch and it didn't turn on after the power came back on. The clones were all flat when I got back to them but they were able to stand back up except for five that I move to the front and replaced. That was two weeks ago and those five all have nice roots (in the front):



Out of the rest about 10 maybe have roots. Most are looking kind of rough now, going on 18 days with no nutes or anything. I'm transplanting the ones that made it to pots now.



I had a couple of issue cloning this time and the last. I've never had these problems with aero-cloning it is kind of pissing me off. I had no problem getting nice roots off Mob Boss my last two passes so I know it isn't the strain. I have enough room in my first tray for the Mob Boss that made it though. I actually have two Mob Boss flowering in the tray now they are at three weeks:



I plan on doing another round to fill the second tray, the five I replaced all rooted just as expected so I am optimistic. If the next round doesn't turn out well I am just going to grow one or two of the cuts out as new moms and flower the old moms where the tray is.

My current plan is actually to get a couple small new moms to grow out, then another tray, and finally put them outside in the ground. I'll be growing mob boss outdoors this year anyway but I am hoping to let my moms get monster before I put them out there

Wanted to post an update. I got 12 clones out of the batch and put them in the the first tray. It fills the tray up with 36 6" pots so that's nice. All but 1 of those are doing really good, the other is kind of lagging, but they are all doing much better than the two cuts I took before that are between 5-6 weeks. Here are a couple of pics at two weeks plus a couple of days flowering:



Here is a close up of the other flowering cone, it's between weeks five and six:



Here is a comparison of one of the two weeks against the above one, above is kind of small:



The ones I just flowered have done much better and look much more like their mom, kinds of stretchy with nugs at the nodes:



I took another batch of 30 clones. It's been 9 days and things are looking much better this time. 28/30 have little roots and 12 of those have a nice cluster already. I plan to put them in the other tray in 6" pots in another week or so.

Clones are pretty much ready to go. Going to put them in 6" pots in the next couple of days. All 30 have roots, I'll probably let them grow their roots another day or two before putting them in tray, especially the one that only has a couple little shoots (hard to see any roots on it in the pic):



theyre itching to get out of the cloner and get some real nutes.

Hey ya Solo, loved tha last crop pics you had, those were from seed, ya? Got a couple observations for ya...... tha clones that are pretty far into flowering were triggered pretty early, gitting no legs on 'em and still only producing one to three blades per node. This in my experience, results in minimal yields; let these next crops mature a bit, I think you'll be pleased.
