Cali Connection Genetics Group Grow! aka: CCGGG

I spent almost a year surfing MP in the background, reading and learning and wasting money on b.s. lights. Now i dont regret doing all of this the hard way, but i know now that you get what you put in to it. Fortunately my wife understands this as well and is willing to work with me. Sounds like you have a good wife as well.

On a side note.... have you tried the CC Sour Diesel?

Sorry if i'm all over the place i'm pretty tore up right now. lol

Have not tried their SD but I do love a good SD....I wld think Swerve and CC wld do it up right though.

Whats up guys I just ordered some Chuck D from Cannacopia yesterday and that is a cross of Sour Diesel and Deep Chunk. The Sour Diesel is a clone from Rez that won plant of the year in 2005 at the Canabis Cup which is the exact same genetics that CC uses I believe. Somebody correct me if Im wrong. Cannacopia is backed by Chimera so I just had to give them a try. If you go to the ICMag forum they have a whole section designated for each breeder that has seeds for sale on Gypsi Nirvanas Seed Botique so it is a great way to research beans before you buy them and see other peoples grows.

Sounds like a tastey cross MH. Hope your order arrives safe and sound.


Well guys i took my first clones ever tonight. I took 5 from each lady Tahoe, so 10 cuttings all together. The other 4 tahoes still have not shown sex???? If you guys have any cloning tips/tricks i'm all ears. Temps in the humidity dome are 75 degrees and RH is 65%. Does that sound okay? And how often do ya mist?

 

[maineharvest]

Cloning tips- Heating pad is a must, Clonex gel, and 100% humidity. Do you have a cover for your tray? I spray clones constantly throughout the day.

 

[AluminumMonster]

Thanks MH! The dome is real hard to see in the pic......

Ok, so when i came down to check on the cuttings they were all wilted.... Is this normal 8 hours after removing from mother plant?

Mine usually perk right up when put in a closed dome and misted....pics AM?

1 of each never wilted... i dont know if that means any thing...? The dome is sealed the best i can get it, but it does dry out quickly. Should i let it dry out like that or keep spraying the walls of the dome to keep humidity up?

I'll get some pics up shortly. i have to pick up my wife from band practice.

 

[maineharvest]

Cuts taken from different parts of the plant will react differently due to hormone levels. I like to take cuts from lower branches but they also have to be thick and healthy enough. Your cuts looks very thick and healthy. Your dome should stay misted so just spray it every chance you get and spray the leaves too.

On the clones that I just rooted I only had to spray the dome once and it has stayed wet for close to two weeks now. But I spray the leaves as often as I can.

Ahhhh... MH you are a life saver man. Thank you very much for helping me!


Sorry but i have another question. How long do you wait until you start removing the dome for short periods of time?

I'm sure you will get different answers for that one but I leave mine on the entire time. It doesn't come off until I see roots and I'm taking the clones out.

Thanks SSF, all help is welcome. As with every thing technique's will vary. But i am willing to try it and see what happens. Thanks again!

AM you grow in soil too right? I was horrible at cloning when I used just rockwool cubes under a humidity dome but now that I submerge the cubes in soil it makes it much easier. If you are interested my cloning method is described here in the last post on the page:

Yeah i use sun shine mix #4. Thanks for the link i'll check it out.



Here's a couple pics.When i just checked them the temp was 80 and RH 80%. I also turned the little fan off in the tent.

Oh wow dude those things are seriously drooping. Not good, but Im sure they will come around. I usually get some leaves that droop but your stalks are bent right in half. Keep the tops and bottoms of the leaves misted and hopefully they will perk right up.

Good news! A couple of the clones are starting to perk up. And the 2 that never wilted are still looking great!

I would like to say thank you to you guys. "Thank you guys" For answering all my questions. I'll keep you posted over the next few days.

Not really a must, unless you live in a cool environment. Ambient temps should be in the mid 20's C if not a heating mat is required.

 

[maineharvest]

Its a must in my house Smokingjoe.

 

[AluminumMonster]

And mine as well. my gr is in the basement and temps average about 65F.

 

[smokingjoe]

It's be a waste of electricity in mine, such is the benefit of living in the tropics (which in itself comes at a cost, since bugs and mould love it also)

Hey AM I have never taken clones myself, but what Jorge Cervantes says is that clones thrive best in "high" temps 80-85 F and the tip he has is once you take the cutting, also split the tip of the clones stem in half vertically. Jorge says this increases the surface area for new roots to develop and it doesnt allow for an air bubble to get in the stem, killing the clone. I hope it helps mate
