Journal for unknown strain

[lordhighlama]

nice little bubbler you put together don
i've got all the parts except the tub.
as swift pointed out getting one a bit squatty is a good way to go
but unfortunately there harder to find then I though.
plus I'm just to stinking lazy sometimes. lol

Heres pics of my plants right now and the clones

nice little bubbler you put together don

thanks bro, you guys think theyre doing well judging by the pics? Theyre all green still and they were cut three days ago. theyre green and standing up proud all else is well, no major problems i transplanted em all to 4gal pots and next time theyre all dry im going to flush them.
then ill give them all another shot of nutes at a small amount. thanks

They all look healthy Don. Should be a good harvest for you.

 

[lordhighlama]

sweet,, first batch of clones in the bubbler.
that's got to feel good huh?
those plants are looking real green don,
I'm starting to battle temps and it is really slowing my growth down.
but I'll be moving them all soon to my shop so hopefully that will help.

 

[thedonofchronic]

yeah it feels good. i had clones i tried another time but
clearly didnt know enough and they went yellow within a day.
so you own your own store you mean and your gonna keep your plants there?
i hear ya with the temps.. my room doesnt get below 80. Its annoying
but i did manage to get my humidity up though at least haha.
if these clones root, then ill take a few more cuttings then put
all the big plants into flower. thanks for stopping in lama, buddyluv.

 

[lordhighlama]

no not my own store, just my shop at my casa
I had my veg box in a spare room over the winter to help with cold temps
now it's time to move them back to the shop that gets alot more shade in the summer.

nice don very nice,
just one thing,
you do know which clones where cut from which plant dont you?
i like to use insulation tape and write the names a each plant on each pot,
then when im taking clones i stick tape next to the hole where the clone passes through the bubbler, and put the strain date and number the clones,
this will save you alot of hassel in the future trying to figure which strain is which!
just remember to swap the lables over whn you repot,
somehow i nearly always forget! doh!

also watch out for high water temps in your bubbler,
you said your room is at about 80f, this wont be too good fro your clones if you can get it to 72f is would be much better for them,
you will have to insulate your bubbler maybe add reflective tape or mylar,
this is real important, dont overlook your water temps!
looking good though!

 

[thedonofchronic]

thanks swift!
actually theyre all the local orange strain so itll be fine.
they arnt sexed yet though. and i got them in a different
spot with a cfl over it, temps are way less that in the grow
room thats for sure. and they got a humidifier beside em

 

[swiftgt]

good to hear you have temps under control,
but putting lables on your plants is important!
except if all your plants come from 1 mother.
you can use clones to sex your plants in veg,
just stick a clone in the flower room and let it flower,
when it does you can check you lables and see which plant it came from,

 

[thedonofchronic]

as you can see (cuttings on the right) my cuttings are yellowing
dont know if its cause theyre trying root or what...
all the new cuttings i put in on the left i used rooting hormone on
so hopefully at least a few of these will root....

plants doing alright besides that. bleached down my grow room today gave it a super cleaning and all that.
comments are always welcome of course thanks.
especially bout cloning

Hey don, looking fantastic over there. I've experienced yellowing of the leaves on a few clones as well. Just make sure to spray 'em down, they love being wet .

 

[lordhighlama]

yep looking real good, have you seen any roots on your first set of cuttings yet?

 

[thedonofchronic]

hey lama.
nope, no roots or bumps yet.
its day 7 for the cuttings and i didnt think
i would see roots by now. if at all.
ive got the worst luck with rooting clones haha
havnt gotten one to successfully yet..

 

[lordhighlama]

ya I know what your saying there, I've taken a few cuttings here and there in the past and never got one to root. But I'm hoping that the bubbler is going to solve those problems!

 

[swiftgt]

hey guys
i used to have trouble getting cuttings to root for me when i started,
so dont worry,its normal to murder at least a few cuttings!
im sure you will see good results soon enough don,
but as you said your water temp is below optimal temp, so they will be alittle slower to root,
you should see some action around 10-14 days,
when i was rooting my last 6 strains 2 strains would not root for me, but they did stay alive and flower, ive left some in the bubbler for like a month and yesterday they started to root! about time lol!
so if there not rooting for you, but not dien on you,
just leave them in as long as you can,
once you dont get slimey mush stems (usualy caused by high temps or lack of oxygen)
they should root!

looking good Don.. good luck with the clones rooting...

 

[TURKEYNECK]

Lookin good Don, and like swift said, I hope you aint clonin males

 

[thedonofchronic]

Hey guys heres a quick update with pics, i used to update daily
when i started the journal but got a new job and dont really have time
anymore. Heres whats up, the plants are doing pretty well im putting em under 12/12 tonight hopefully. The clones as you can see some of the older ones have major damage. the bubbles in the cloner dont quite reach all of them so i put the nicer cuttings that have root hormone on them to the better side of the bubbler. good news though, one of the older cuttings had shot a root out when i looked this mornin so that made me happy :yay:

 

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

Wow don, looks like a jungle in there. Starting 12/12 huh? Awsome, can't wait to see some buds!

 

[BuddyLuv]

I wouldn't worry about the leaves on the clones. I always lose a few when I clone.
