One Week to Go I have shoot pruned all the clones. This is where all the shoots except the top 3 are removed, but the fan leaves are left in place. This prepares the plants for high performance in the bloom room, while optimizing the plants energy by not wasting it on stuff we are...

Staging Up to Bloom I have separated our girls into 2 cloners. The cloner on the right has all of the fastest rooters and will hit the bloom room soon. Our second cloner on the left will happen 2 weeks after the first. Rooting speed is certainly related to overall vigor, but doesn’t...

Getting There.. Cloners: The plants are starting to hit their veg growth stride. We still have about 4 that have very limited root development. However most look like this: I’m using al’s Go Go Veg o Matic recipe now after starting with al’s Rootin Tootin Setup Sauce. We no...

You are in for a treat. White Truffle has a very distinct deep earthy mushroom aroma. But it is the buzz that got my attention. It has an immediate head that mellows into a warm massage to the back of the head with good duration. It mows down the uninitiated. She's not easy to grow and...

I'm glad you enjoyed them. You must be a weed nerd! SBA is a methodology that requires your attention every 12 hours. I often call my girls cows. It really is the dairy farm lifestyle, the plants never take a vacation or care about your weekend. Juggling multiple projects demands all my time...

My first taste of real growing goes back to UseNet groups and alt.cultivation. I found like minded folk and migrated to the early websites. Was there when everything came crashing down. HS and Bagdadlian anyone? Managed to evolve from miracle grow> organics> NFT > DWC > hydro > aero >...

All of that and more. I have several crosses of at least 18 strains crossed to reversed elites documented online. I do pheno hunts of those progeny documented online like this thread. I do relic hunts growing old rare seeds. My current project is gathering regional best collections from...

What you see in veg does not always translate into the bloom room. I'm always looking at vigor and structure along with smells in veg. But don't let your nose lead you astray. Finished flowers can change attributes as hormones triggered from dark cycles kick in. Structure can completely...

Just the best looking roots and growth tip. So now we have 38 plants to get ready for the bloom room. Thank you for your interest. -al

There Can Be Only One! I have gone through all the clones and selected the best individual from the 3 cuttings. I will let them grow out for a bit before separating them into our 2 groups. Root development ranges from spikes to ready to rock. We had 2 individuals drop into the...

Cloner Update We have roots for almost all individuals. I’ll take back up cuttings soon after the dead or alive roundup for anyone still not rooted. One of the main reasons I take 3 cuttings as opposed to just cloning the top, is getting everyone rooted at once. I want head to head...

To the Cloner Group Before: Almost everyone has at least 2 branches large enough to be cloned. So here we go! The first thing we do is assign everyone their ID number. I generally do this by height. This gives me a little help in planning for vigor. This early tell is not...

Time for a Skirt Trim Here’s our girls before: Before: After: Group After: These got a little big on me. I normally start this process a little earlier. So a skirt trim is about removing bottom leaves, exposing the bottom branches to more light and air. This...

-- An update on the Seedlings Seedlings: We have 40 girls through the dirt. I will start their training with a skirt trim soon. See ya then! -al

A Short Time Later . . . 40 cups and 35 through the dirt. I am perimeter watering with straight RO water. This prevents washing out the tender seedlings and setting them back in their development. I keep an oscillating fan gently blowing on them at all times. This promotes strong...
