Growing with Tomcat

[oldfogey8]

I have had good luck getting purple varieties to ‘purple up’ by keeping the tent on the cool side during the last few weeks of bloom(others have said that is what promotes good color-not my idea). My tent would get into the low to mid 60’s with lights out. Nice looking work by the way. You have things dialed in nicely. I have grown Mimosa which has Purple Punch genetics in it. Very nice smoke.

I keep my Temps between 70 and 75. Have just gotten lucky with the fades

I don’t think it was luck. You have skills.

This is Gorilla Mittens ( GG4 x Pure Michigan) from my buddy Freak Genetics. She is in flower to sex. If she is a girl gonna put in a 3 gallon and take clones. Once rooted flip back to flower.

I love to here everybody's way of cloning. For me I stay organic and I use an Aloe Vera plant and root riot. So far I have had about 95% success.

Aloe Vera plant and root riot is the jam for clones they love the combination. That’s my go to cloning combo too.

Hummmm, never tried that before and i have a huge Aloe Vera plant at my disposal. Learn something new every day.

Aloe vera is a powerful, organic alternative to synthetic cloning solutions. The chemical makeup of aloe vera gel includes saponin, a natural wetting agent, and it’s also packed with enzymes and amino acids that help plants root more successfully.

Yes tried this my first time on clones and have been using it since. You have to blender your aloe meat first put a little down the hole and on your stem, no scaring needed. The root riots work really nice. Tried them with my last clones every one rooted up nice And much cleaner than in peat pots which I used the first couple rounds

This guy says its a myth. Says and shows on the video that the plant will do it all on its on just as good.

I don't blend. Just dip the stem I'm the Aloe leaf for a couple minutes

Seems like he is doing alot. Why not just dop in aloe and straight to root riot I wonder

I drop aloe in the root riot too. I usually have plenty thanks to that aloe plant grandma left me

I’ve tried rooting in a glass of water with extras I had. I think they would live forever in the water beautiful and green but no roots even after two months. Never tried just slipping on in the root riot with nothing but my guess it would work. Those root riots really hug up good to even the tiniest of clones.

Ive had clones root in just water many times. Works better if they have a bubbler in the water though.

I made a spray setup. It's just a plastic storage box with holes cut in the top to fit the little foam inserts with a PVC rack that has the little spray nozzles in it hooked to a cheap Harbor Freight water pump on a timer. Straight well water, too.

I had no bubbler

Have a question for you guys, like i said before I am doing my first actual pheno hunt of my own strain. Would you all grow them out in 1 gallons and take cuts or move to 3 gallon and take cuts?

Everything looks great. Awesome looking grows.
