Grand Daddy Black Grows A Stack

Still not sure if you're thinking it would be a problem for the clone or the mother, but it wouldn't create a hermie in either.

Kool deal. That's what I was hoping. Being in 12/12 light then cut and clone into 20/4 light and not have it hermi on me or something

Hello growers.

As an avid member (and wannabe leader) of the Lazy-Man Growers Club I'm always on the look out for easier ways to get it done. The other day I was reading a post that referred to Grow Dots, a new product being offered by Realgrowers.

It's touted to be a water-only fertilizer solution from seed to harvest. It's a bunch on multi-colored pebbles that contain different nutes, and they are said to be time released at the proper stage of the grow, based on the temperature of the grow environment. The nitrogen pebbles kick in early and fade out late, while the PK stuff is ever-present but increases later in the grow. And everything fades out after 12 weeks. (They add, "eliminating the need to flush your plants before harvest." )

I've got to say, that sounds a little far-fetched, but who knows? I know the concept registers well on my Lazy-Man Meter!

Their usage calculator says I'll be able to grow 3 plants in 3 gallon pots with 45 grams of their stuff. They offer a starter bag containing 75 grams for $7.95, so the investment is no biggie.

It says to use in plants in their finishing pots only. They suggest using a little in the starting solo cup but then to prep the soil with the required amount of dots in their finishing pot and move it to there.

So I gonna' give it a try on 3 of these clones.

Because they say their time-release mechanism releases 75% of the nitrogen in the first 4 weeks, I guess I should try to get the clones up-potted as soon as possible since I'd like to keep them smallish. But if I need to let the veg for 4 weeks, well, anything can happen.

I'm going to try it on the 2 Black Cherry Pie clones and the Kera Bubblegum clone. Their up-pot date will be the date on which the Grow Dots arrive.

I have no plan B. Need to give that some thought.

Thanks for looking in.

Peace.

I have 8 autos going now ranging from 30 to 90 days. All of them just using Grow Dots and Recharge. I used a little silica with the 1st 4, but haven’t used it in the newer 4. This has been by far my best grow and the yields are going to be nice… Veg especially was very nice in every plant. Greenest I have had in 30 plants so far?

I'll def be over to check them out DeeBoy. Thanks for letting me know!

I didn't cut the leaves on my clone because I was under the impression they need their leaves in veg. And, I think she has turned out just beautiful.

I think she has too, HashGirl!

Folks do this differently. I do it like you. The paper that Maritimer brought to the table on Draughting touched on cloning. There were conclusive results that leaving the leaves whole and having three gave the best results. Since reading that I've been doing it like that. The few I've cloned have done well.

Question. If you take clone from a flowering plant do you risk hermi or any adverse effects

I did it once Dust. The plant was 3 weeks in flower. It took awhile but came back to be my stankberry mother.

In my experience, neither.

They do take time to get going, for me anyway.

Monstercropping is hands down my favourite way to strike clones.

We will just keep doing what I'm doing then. I never tried half crap y'all do done an so fort

If it ain't broke there's no need to fix it, Dust!

Cutting the leaves in half also leaves a vector open for pathogens which might have the cut fighting something while you want it focused on making roots.

There's that. I didn't think that one out. But sure.

Hello growers.

I'm still here "watching grass grow."

These clones are sneakily trying to get bigger, but I see what's going on!

Thanks for stopping by.

Peace.
