Some use brine, other vinegar and heat. Yea both are brining. I generally call "brine"-no heat, "pickle" or "can" - heat.
Just no soggy pickles, crisp only.

Hey Shed - a very happy Friday evening to you! Hope you have a fun and restorative weekend planned. I look forward to more visual delights from LA! And your garden
In case anyone is interested:
I started this thread - it’s to be a short term thing, closing in a week. Anyone missing a particular emoji should check it out.

And just a little bacon for flavor and browning of course.

We talked about cloners awhile back and today I dug up mine in the grow room.
Think I got over 90% to prosper from it. Just an air pump connected to it.

If it works then stay with it.

I have never heard that before. During the ferment or the eating are they added?

Got that duct-tape thing going on Crazy! And speaking of clones, that's today's update!
I uncovered the clone box this morning to start the torture process (as beez calls it) to get the roots to grow. To recap, this is three AK-47 clone cuttings and one relocated Sour G that went from peat pot to cloninator to rapid rooter.
First I took them out to see if there was anything visible...there wasn't. I also squeezed some water out of the bottom as they seemed pretty wet. Here's a pic of them after 4 hours uncovered:
They look good so far, but I gave the on on the right and the Sour G a little spritz because they didn't look quite as good as the other two.
And the Gold Leaf cuttings have been getting tortured every night for a week. This is them also after 4 hours:
Are they ready to live an uncovered life?
Here is my Brooklyn Sunrise update this morning. Not much happening.
I hope all your plants are growing along with your bank accounts and happiness!

If you don't have roots leave them covered.

I won't know if I have roots until I can see them through the plastic. That may take another week. I thought if they don't wilt out in the air it was a sign that they are being supported from what's going on below the soil.
You two work it out and let me know if you can come to a consensusYes they are ready

If you can't see roots through the cup they need more. I am sure they may grow just fine as @MiOutdoorsman said my thinking is not to put any stress that can be avoided on them.

I put a clone in a tote with about 2 inches of soil in bottom, large flat area. In time when that clone was about 3-4 inches high and I pulled it had some roots that were pushing 10 inches.

What part of MI are you from?

I was working off of a tutorial from @beez0404 that he PM'd me. His theory (that has worked on over 90% of his cuttings) is that the stress is what causes the plant to put out roots to survive. "Torture sessions" of no dome, for longer and longer periods each day, until you can go many hours with no wilt. I just PM'd him and he said to keep an eye on them for the day but if they look fine by bedtime they are done with the domes. They've been going through the torture since Monday.

That sounds interesting I hope you post the tutorial so we can check it out. I can see it working and being different then what I did.

As soon as I can see roots that will be the final positive test results. Then I can give this method the Shed stamp of approval and post up the tutorial!

Southern end. What part are you from
To clarify........If the dome is on, the plant is able to absorb moisture through the leaves and thus has no reason to expend energy to grow roots. When you remove the dome you're effectively telling the plant no more easy living, time to grow roots. You are just triggering the natural instincts of the plant to survive.
