- SUPER CLONING SESSION -

Alright guys, while I am on this update spree, I will be showing you all how I take clones. I think I have my method pretty well down pat, we will see within the next few days I guess!!

So the Strawberry Diesel is getting exceptionally huge, I decided to take some clones off the tops around the outer edges of this bushy lady. I took 10, 5 in Coco and 5 in RockWool. I also took a clone of a side project plant, LA Kush. So I have 11 clones under my dome currently.

........

So first I take some appropriately sized cuttings from the tops of some thick branches, cut of the lower growth and set them in a shot glass of Distilled Water for about 5 minutes.

Once I get a few in there and they have soaked a little while, I prep them for the cloning medium. Firstly I take one of the cuttings out of the shot glass.

Then I cut off the lower growth so there are about 3 larger fan leaves up top, then I cut the blades of each of the 3 large fan leaves off about half way down.

I dipped 3 of the 5 clones (of each medium) in rooting gel and left the other 2 alone. I marked them so I can see which is more effective. I scrape all of my clones just a little bit at the bottom. Here is one I dipped in my Rootech.

Then I place it in the cloning medium! Both the Coco an the RockWool Cubes were soaked in Denver Tap Water with Rhizotonic, Super-Thrive and FoxFarm Big Bloom.

And one more time for good luck! Grab my cutting out of the shot glass.

Cut off the lower growth and top halves of the larger leaves.

And put it with the others! Tah-dah! They are all sitting underneath two 36 watt 6500k CFL's on a 18/6 light schedule.

All the reps I have to offer for the first person to tell me which cutting is the LA Kush! :cheesygrinsmiley: :cheesygrinsmiley: :cheesygrinsmiley:

Hope you're all having an awesome week my friends!
