Clone Update
Well, the clones have not gone any further down hill. The pictures, although posted yesterday, were taken the day before....so this is the 2nd day....at any rate....
WE DO HAVE ROOTS!!!
Which is exciting....and Uncle...these clones are SPECIAL...I'm not bored by these ladies at all....I'm itching for them to live...although, they are managing to do so in less that proper conditions....
So far we have roots confirmed on two clones....luckily, each one is a different strain....hehehe!!!
Anyone curious what is in there yet???

I guess I'll post. Been watching frank. Familiar with the soil you found. Good stuff! So I'm curious what's in there.... so whats in there? I'll be lurking. 
I think once they are in soil and actually GROWING....then I'll count it as real and reveal what it is....lol.

Trying something new is never a waste, even if it doesn't work. As my genetics professor loved to say, "One experiment is worth a thousand expert opinions."
I have been enjoying your grow log, keep up the good work!

here's to hopin them clips pull through for ya bro
on mixing soil with coco: I love it! didn't use it this last round with the killer chems, b/c i could not find the coco i wanted(botanicare coco(chunky) is the best) but i have done side by side comparison (veging plants only) and the root growth was amazing ever since i have always used soill with coco no need even for perlite, the coco is that good at aeratting the soil and maintains an overal better medium structure i.e. it won't sink in and compact like perlite can kinda do if ur not gentle when watering. Another plus is it is organic material for the plethora of organisms in your medium to feed on!
just make sure u get good chunky/stringy coco(not coir!) that has been flushed already like botanicare coco, otherwise unless you flush the f*ck out of the coco it will mess up your mix and fry your girls. Stay away from Sunleaves Coco, its like they dip it in a vat of salt before they sell it, lol. I don't mess around with ph and stuff so that's why i say what i say but maybe thats not a problem for you, i am still a newb after all.
good luck, i will be waiting/watching; to find out what cuts ya got too

Transplant Complete!!!
Transplant Complete!!!
Well, a busy day. These are 1gal bags, fold about in half, filled with 1/2 gal of soil, and then I replanted. Topped off and filled in around things as necessary...I expected these little ones to take off here in the next week!! New vigor is always fun to watch!!

Hey Frank things are looking good!
Doesn't it feel good to be finally at the point where they will rapidly grow? My plants are taking off.
I might be making up a batch of your soil mix for when I transplant into 3 gal pots for flowering. Looks like some top quality ingredients.
Happy growing.

Well, it isn't really MY soil mix....it is a simple calculation based on the LC Mix posted in a sticky on the organic soil forum...it is slightly different, but that is what it is BASED on.
But I'll let you know what I think of it here in a couple of days, seeing how this is the first time I've used it as well...hahahahaha!!!

The Clones....
Well the final run down...they were taken OUT of the bubbler, and placed into soil. Out of the 8, only 5 survived and had roots.
Two clones of one strain survived, and one each of three other strains...which means, no strain lost...and that is all one can really hope for!!
I'm looking forwards to seeing their progress in soil, as the roots spread and I can't wait to see NEW growth...we are not far off...

Glad to hear that a few clones survived. Keep us posted! 
Keep us posted!
Interesting...I've never even considered the nutrient profiles of broken down coco.
I mean, logically, it MUST add something to the soil....if it giving me a bit of extra K, that would honestly MAKE MY DAY!!! hahahaha
Even with the Kelp meal in the mix, I felt I wanted MORE K....so, perhaps I have what I need as the coco breaks down....
