LMAO Cloning For Dummies

[goof1987]

Yeah running a dwc. In the beginning of the grow i had a water pump pumping nute water to the base of her but once 4-5 root strands hit the water i pulled the pump and feeding tube.

 

[goof1987]

Well its officially 4 weeks of flower today. Week 10 since i started my system.

Her buds have started to come in strong all of a sudden. They are still just little but she is full of them and i mean packed full.

Unfortunately i was trying to bend the main stem to much to fit her back into the light and i felt her give. She has a little tiny crack. Hopefully she recovers i was really trying not to do that. This is the first real mistake i have made this grow. I should have been training this main stem the whole time.

She will be fine Look up super cropping.

I have super cropped in the past but onky in extreme cases. Given this was extreme but i was hoping not to do it

She will be fine Ive done much worse lol Ive snapped a seedlings trunk in half one time to see what would happen and even with it barely hanging on and fallen towards the ground within a day she was already starting to grow back upright lol.. Ive also had my fair share of split trunks from pulling down trooping plants to hard in lst.

 

[Imhigh85]

Yes a mistake but one of them mistakes that is a wonderful mistake now you get to see what the plant can really do if you just leave the stem alone the plant will decide whether it wants to fix it or whether it wants to go ahead and cut off energy to it it's always fun to watch just by watching it you will gain a lot of knowledge and understand more about super cropping monster cropping topping Etc this is one of those say mistakes that you need to make in a way it's what I consider a good mistake

 

[goof1987]

God i hope it don't let it die off. Thats the main trunk and tbeir is a crap ton of buds starting above the break

 

[MerryAnna]

Lol damn bugs...but seriously I do research problems or whatever before hitting u up but at the end of the day you've helped me this far so I'll always take your word over the web

Bugs aren't my main problem. The @#$€*& stoner pigeons in my yard are. Look at this:

A-holes. The worst part is when they get the munchies.
I was recommended Botany of Desire by Michael Pollen to understand this phenomenon (this is literally the 1st time in 7 years it's happened). Has anyone read this?☺

When you are wasting electricity in the house the first thing you do is you shut it off if the plant felt it was a waste this is personal opinion I think the plant would let them go I have seen some plants do some pretty strange things at one point in time I had nitrogen deficiency horribly bad I lost almost every leaf on the plant and was scared the plant was going to die so what scraggly leaves it had left I left on to my amazement some of the yellow in the leaves started to turn green again which promoted growth on the plant once the plant had produced enough growth it let the horrible leaves go I am an honest believer in nature nature Knows Best I've seen trees recuperate after hurricanes my belief is if we think we know more about the plant than the plant does we've got a problem

The one subject that seems to be the raciest that I have been reading about lately and they argue back and forth scientist in universities are starting to believe that plants actually think but on the other hand there are people that say how can I plant think when it doesn't have a brain this is why it is debated

I have to think about it like this to make it make sense if you break two or three branches on your plant intentionally not break them all but just break them how does the plant decide whether it wants to keep them living or let them die off and shut off everything to him in my opinion that would be thinking

I think plants have a genetic memory, or that "knowledge" is "transferred" from plant to plant. No, i don't think they speak a quaint woodland language, i just think hormonal secretions are.involved.
Also, if you think about humans: certain "knowledge" is hard-wired into our dna - fight or flight, maternal instinct, blah blah. I forget the exact amount of information embedded in one sperm - something like a terrabyte (? Not sure of the exact number, it is a fu@kton).
I therefore believe the tiny seeds has a vast amount of genetic knowledge embedded in the cells, and that hormones are responsible for the "thinking". Scientists just haven't gotten around to measuring the info cause 1) you can't really have a q&a session with a plant to measure its intelligence and 2) they're still too busy working out human dna.
Also, in my experience, if a few branches are broken, 9/10 times the plant will let the weakest branch(es) die off first - survival of the fittest etc.

I enjoy flowering the most.
I try for 2 months min veg - month 1 i check the natural growth of the plant (speed, size, girth, etc). I also only do 2 feeds in month 1 - week 3 & 4, once, light dose, to acclimatise them to the feeds (week 5+ starts off 2x per week for 2 weeks, then every 2nd day up until flower for a couple of weeks). By that time, the stems etc are niiiiice & sturdy.
But vegging depends on lots of things - preference, genetics, blah blah.
I like bigger girls because i can't grow too many - space, cops, time & effort - and i get far better yields off the big girls.

I figured hydro...I think just me and sica do soil on here

& me

 

[MerryAnna]

Oh yeah soil is harder than the Coco if you can do the Coco you can do the hydro but just give yourself time and when you're ready you're be ready and I'll walk you through it but take your time the less mistakes you make the more you learn I know most people think of it backwards but I like to sit here and watch everybody else's mistakes that way I don't have to make them there's still times that I screw things up when I go to trying something new but that's life

If you want to learn about organic soil (outdoor) grow, check on my thread (MerryAnna's Swazi Adventure), at the moment it's very wordy with lots of ideas, but you can easily see the mistakes (what NOT to do). And what a mutha nature can be. Also, a lot of me whining cause i'm so busy, poor me.

 

[MerryAnna]

I'm growing in a hempy with coco. Pretty legit so far!

I love the tub grow!!!
Old school rocks!

 

[MerryAnna]

If you switch over to Coco which I'm not telling you to do because we each have our own this is just something else I thought of because of the amount of oxygen to the roots you will see a difference in the bud in shape and size and density it's a pretty cool trick to run one side by side but like you said there is hot spots in soil no matter what you do and then the one that I think did it for your last soil was that a fact that it was just way too heavy it was squishing the roots over a period of time all that dirt being watered starts to compress down on the roots right at the time that they need the most oxygen during flowering the one good thing that I can think of off the top of my head is the taste it cannot be replicated and it cannot be done with coco or Hydro there's stuff in the soil like decayed broken down grass decayed pine needles a mix of droppings from everything worm castings straight from the world an insect world that you would never want in your house

How the hell do I hold all this s*** in my head? I couldn't do this s*** in high school

Dude, as an ex-teacher: high school is boring as sh$t. How are you supposed to learn things that DO NOT INTEREST YOU AT ALL?
If you teach kids what they want to learn (which is, let's face it, pretty much sex), they would have a way better time in school. I still find it ridiculous that you have to choose what you want to do FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE at 16/17.
Anyhow, i wish i could go back in time & tell my guidance teacher i wanna make weed my life.

Hahaha amen!!! But they have you learn stuff you have absolutely no interest in at the college level as well. They claim it's to prove that when you get into the work place you can complete tasks regardless of whether or not you are have passion for the given project.... sounds dumb to me. But I'm with you.

 

[MerryAnna]

Hey, what happened to that "topped" clone? You know, the one where you topped a black ops (or something, around end of August) and tried to root the top bit?

 

[MerryAnna]

I have super cropped in the past but onky in extreme cases. Given this was extreme but i was hoping not to do it

I did this to a plant as an experiment & it would not die (male):

It eventually fell over, but still grew on.

Man oh man, i'm currently using 0% of my college knowledge. Even when i worked in the field in which i studied, less than 1% of what i learned was applicable. I'm very, very pro apprenticeships iso college: learn practically at an actual workplace for 3 years, get a small salary. And how much did college cost? Why am i still paying off student loans? Ridiculous.
