Hello
Just a new thread for me, somewhere to keep track of dates etc. to save keeping them all at home. Those who know the way I grow wont be suprised by what they see me doing here, anyone else will probably think I don't know what I'm doing. But that's ok, I don't mind, sit back and watch the results.
It's all very simple really, get some soil, either a seed or a clone, pop it into the soil, and water it. Put the lot under a light, flouro for youngens HPS for mature ones, and let the weeds grow. That's all there is to it. You know what seeds look like, so I'll start with a clone and the way I take clones.

Starting with the mother, an ex clone herself, as once they have roots I call em plants not clones. Cut a nice bit off, take the lower leaves off, cut the base into a point, pop it into the soil and water it so the soil settles all around the cutting.


I'll update this thread once roots have formed, I took this clone about 2 hours ago. Lets see how long it takes.

Signin in first thing - hiya mate! Thx for the tip on your new thread Looks to be another fine ride, like a 60's vintage T-Bird with leather seats I'll just be sitting over there with a big-assed vaporvac on my back....

What are your cloning methods? do you use a gel and a tent or just put them in the soil and keep em' wet?

i dont understan what are ya doing.....

Well, all I do is what I've pictured above. No I don't use and gels or powders. No tents, unless there are pests about. The only water I give to them is when they first go into the soil. The next water will be added once they get roots. That's all there is to it.

Ok I over simplified starting from a seed. I just want to update the thread with starting seeds off as I've been asked about it on another thread. You can pop a seed straight into soil if you know there are no bugs about and you have patience otherwise use this method.
seeds are best placed into some wet tissue paper.
Not that soil is a bad thing but there are 2 problems with putting seeds straight into soil.
1. It will be hard to resist checking on whether or not they have sprouted, and checking in soil you can easily lose them or end up harming a new tap root when digging them up.
2. There can be little enemies living in the soil that like to feed on young roots. Once the root is strong it will resist such attacks, but when young, can find it too difficult to resist being eaten alive.
Wait until there is about 1-2cm of root showing then place that tail end down into the soil. That's the best way to start things off.

Here are some bruisednuts seeds just starting their life. I could have put them into soil but this is the paper towel method. Some sheets folded in on themselves, then wet, then the seeds placed on top and another few sheets folded and wet placed on top. The whole seed sandwhich then placed somewhere warmish but not hot. Just done these now. I'll be ditching any that arent of the trifoliar pheno. This isn't the line where they are most common, but a 50/50 cross of that line, so there should be some to find.

ok ty and how much time till cut have roots ?

you'll have to wait and see
without pulling it up and doing damage its impossible to tell when the first roots will show, but when they poke out of the bottom of the pot, I'll let ya know.

I like your style
