Chef De Green Does It All: Reveg, Clones, Autos & Photos

Hey everyone,

there are a couple of youngsters here ready to join the party!

In the front we have a feminized Purple Punch and in the back there’s a Dark Devil auto

I’m soooo happy that these girls came up. I’ve been trying to get a DDa to pop for like a month now.
 
Let’s do it!


Update November 21, 2019​

So first things first, my other DDa popped yesterday! So now I’ve got 2 DDa plants! They are the top two in the picture!:woohoo:


The bottom one is the Purple Punch. It looks kind of weak, but I’m going to Keep it alive as best as I can. Hopefully it will pull through this funk.

Here’s the Star Pupil, just happy as could be.

I have to stay, Star Pupil is an absolute joy to grow. regular nute strength, no complaints and absolutely rock hard nugs. Like stones. The only time she gets unhappy is late flower if the light is too strong. She likes the light dimmed around week 6. The high is sort of energetic and creative.



And the little vegging plants... NL is in the back, QPaxTDa is in the middle and the God’s Gift is in the front. The God’s Gift is looking kinda stunted and frail. I’ve only watered her once since she popped, im still just waiting for her to dry out.

The cloning is coming along alright. I potted the clone that had roots and watered with nutes. Now I’ll just let her dry out and I’m sure her roots will grow. She looks pretty rough, but I expect her to recover as she goes through a dry/wet cycle.

The other clones are coming along too, and the mothers look great. Got a couple with roots starting to show.

that’s it for now. I put my last Cookies n Chem harvest into room temp storage from the fridge today. It’s right around 71%rH. Over the next month I’ll burp it all down to 62 then it’ll be ready for long storage.

thanks for checking in!
 
Looks like you've got it going on there @ChefDGreen ! Seedlings, mother plants, clones oh my.

Thanks Beez! This NL plant is crazy vigorous. I gave her her first feed yesterday and she’s just loving it. She’s got super leaf lift going on.

I think you’re gonna love growing the star pupil. She’s a gem.
 
Try and cut back on the nitrogen for the mothers. Cuttings that have accumulated nitrogen don't want to root easily.
Red light promotes root development. 660nm specifically. Otherwise any light that's Kelvin color is less than 3000 will be just fine. Once roots show change to blue dominant.

You certainly are a very busy guy with everything going on. Looking good to me!
 
I'm looking forward to giving the Star Pupil a run. It sure looked pretty in your photos.
 
@GreenGenez thanks for the advice! I’ll cut back the N feed on the moms. I just fed them properly cause I wanted them to be happy in their new pots, and also cause they were looking sad when they first got put into a proper grow environment. Before I just had them out like house plants, and they didn’t get fed much at all.

that’s interesting about the spectrum. I’ll probably keep the cloner under CFLs when I move into my new house, I’ll make sure to get warm bulbs. Thanks GreenGenez!!

Thanks @Reave! hopefully we’ll be in our new house by the end of the month and I can set up my veg room and my clone table before things start to get hairy!

It’s a gorgeous plant, and it’s not fussy. Also the terpene profile and high is something that you don’t get much of these days. It’s main driving factor terpene wise is floral. So it’s very cerebral, and creative,but surprisingly not racy. I cut mine at the very end of the harvest window, so for me my star pupil flowers sedate me really hard on the come down.
 
I tried an experiment today when I got home. The clone in the front with roots in the picture, I trimmed it’s root by about 1/4 inch. My hope is that trimming the long root with make more roots come out up higher. It’s like topping, but the opposite.... so bottoming.

@beez0404 youre going to sow a star pupil today right?

I think you will find that just like topping, this will split this root into two branches of roots... This is why cloth grow bags work so well, all the air pruning of those roots that goes on, making the root ball even denser.

It’s a good move for rooting clones right? Is there a best way to go about it? Should I wait til the roots are a certain length before I trim them?
 
Well, checking on that clone this morning there’s already about a dozen little bumps up top on the root. I expect to see a fairly bushy bit a of roots when I come home tonight. I’ll post a picture to show the 24hr progress.
 
How much did you cut off the end of the root?

You know....I suspect that you might not kill the plant by trimming roots of a clone but I personally wouldn't do it. That little cutting will not get any uptake without those valuable roots and the trimming could easily shock that small plant. I just don't see the benefit as more fibrous roots will naturally develop. Just my opinion of course.
 
@MagicJim and @beez0404 I only cut off about 1/4”-3/8”. The cutting is definitely not dying, I did the trim around midnight/1am last night. Today at 12 I could already see like 12-15 little bumps indicating where more roots are going to sprout out. If the turn around for trimming the roots is really only 24-48 hours for a dense root system, I’ll start trimming all my clones’ roots.

yes Jim, fiberous roots will develope naturally, but I’m hoping I can make it happen faster.
 
I do love experiments. Once I get all caught up I have one in mind to try. Top secret at this point but should be fun.
 
I think you need to do a side by side comparison in a case like that. Get two that have very similar sized roots. Trim the tip off one and leave the other one alone and then compare them 24 hours later. What you show in the photo is impressive, but I have to ask myself would it have done it on it's own without trimming the tip off the root. Make sense? And in a side by side maybe the one left alone has even more prolific roots then the one you trimmed 24 hours later.

Either way that's an amazing amount of root growth over a 24 hour period.
 
@beez0404 thats exactly what I was thinking wren I took that picture. My hunch is that yes it would’ve happened, just not as soon. My first clone that’s already in soil (and is starting to recover from the burning I gave it) grew out to the first root about double the length without any other roots to show.

If I get two clones from the same mom show me roots together, I’ll absolutely do a side by side! Thanks for the idea Beez
