That is what I thought too! I didn't think it would be a stretch not to tell me, but you? You the Fifi cutester. Right, Reg? I was totally worried something happened with the fire escape plant.

QUICK UPDATE
Sept 3, 2014
FLUXY MOMMA (Power Flower, Flux style) Day 189
She's gone bonkers since letting her go vert. I'm really ready to ship her to the Bloom Tent but it's over stuffed already. The first pic below was 20 days ago when we first let her go vertical.

This Morning
Everything following this footnote is in the Organic Soil Mix created under the guidance of Coach PJ.
SECOND WAVE OF STREET GIRLS ( Unknown Strains) Day 35
On one of them I had an accident. I dropped the drain dish on it while pulling out FLUXY MOMMA for some training. She snapped but didn't break. I had to brace her to keep the stem erect.
Her sister is doing fine
While her other sister has been moved into the Bloom Tent. As B. Real suggested I figured out a way to get this one closer to the LED panel. This is day 3 under 12/12
THIRD WAVE OF STREET GIRLS ( Unknown Strains) Day 30
One is doing fine
While the other one might be a mutant. Notice the weird new leaf on the top node.
COTTON CANDY CLONE Day 31
It appears she's going to make it.

Looking good brother & I hope your clone sends out some new shoots.
Your Flux plant is looking great Reg! You're going to have some awesome buds on that, I'm sure of it.
I think your snapped gal will be just fine too. From as much as I can see it doesn't look like she wilted at all, that's a good sign. It's amazing how easily these plants can repair themselves. Wish it was that easy for us ppls when something breaks. LOL

Here's a look at Scotty's vermiculiute method of cloning.
Cloning in vermiculite- I have used two methods one pot of vermiculite is soaked and the other I have placed in a pot of water 500ml this will gradually be absorbed by the vermiculite and I will be keeping it topped up the reason for vermiculite is too hopefully help the roots develope air roots and not just water roots the plant stem will have constant air and moisture also I have used little new growths as imo they make the best clones as they are eager to grow although it does also help to have a clone with a node so have taken one of these aswell so 4 in total too see which works best as always they are in the shade direct light kills clones as I just found the hard way I thought she was ready but not quite she wilted in 24hrs but ok enough talk lets get into the pics
2pots filled with vermiculite
One soaked one in a more constant water supply (pot)
Momma
Time to cut sorry about the order gallery mess I hope its not to bad or I will have to correct tommorow
Now its a waiting game
sorry have not stopped in for a while BAR...
What is that plant in background in first pic?, it looking pretty good.
Hate to break it to you, but I be surprised if that clone lives for long, looks like all of its growing nodes are 'damped off', leaving no where left for it to grow from. I hope i am wrong as my Cotton Candy is strongest plant I grown yet.

THC membership stands Reg.
I've not given up on that clone just yet. If a good node can sprout at the healthy leaf stem,
I think she'll pull through, just go easy on the humidity.
The vermiculite method is the same principal as my own method (and all other methods)
Basically, keep the cutting very wet at the cut end of the cutting. Don't cut leaves (it just stresses the cutting)
Nature will do the rest. No domes required !

The plant behind the Street Girl is Kerela X Skunk, one of the original Fire escape girls I had to bring inside due to her explosive height & width. She has to be feed nearly every day or two. I'll be doing a full Photo Shoot of the entire grow once I've caught up on all my subs. I'm way behind. I finally got it under 50 though.sorry have not stopped in for a while BAR...

And trust me you won't be more surprised than me Cdaddy.
Looking good BAR but the clone looks like it may be struggling a little. Happy Weedsday

no giving up on that clone yet Reg! She's not happy, but she's not dead either. Otherwise your plants look great... sorry I haven't stopped by as much as I should. I'm right there with you on the 50 journals but I'm not as selfless with my time/vigilant in keeping up with other's journals as you haha.
for what its worth, I used to try cloning my dad's style that he did for succulents and semi hardwoods which is just taking some lemon juice, like a tsp, putting it in a cup or 2 of water, adding the cutting and letting it sit by the window sill (sometimes inside of bags for humidity) and he swore by it, but I killed like 10 of my clones in a row trying that.
Lately, since I started this outdoor grow, I switched methods to rockwool cubes soaked in 6.0 pH water, putting them inside a cheap tray with a dome and enough water to fill the little trenches in the tray and then some (no I don't have my clones sitting above water level like many suggest, they're soaking that water up the whole time they're in the dome) and a little CFL reflector sitting right on top of the dome. I don't use a heat pad either, the CFL gives a bit of heat and I keep it inside ~70 degrees F. The only other thing I do is use Dip 'N Gro rooting concentrate (this is actually really cheap stuff too, and lasts forever) diluted 20x in clean water, and soak the root side of the cutting in it for no more than 5 seconds before putting it in the cube. I also usually scrape a little tissue off of the side of the stem where I want roots to grow before soaking and putting in the cube.
My latest batch, 3 reveg cuttings, all rooted in under 2 weeks, one was transplanted at day 10 actually.
Since switching 9/10 of my clones have all done great, the one that died was because I let it soak too much rooting concentrate up and also yanked it out of the cube when it was rooting, broke a root, d'oh...
Altogether its actually a really cheap method to get lots of clones and I'm pretty happy with it, if you were interested in trying it some time, the Dip 'N Grow small vials are only <10$ and could get you hundreds of cuttings if you did them in decent batches. A pack of 30 rockwool cubes on cramazon is 5 bucks, a cheap tray and dome probably 15$. and I bet you already have a CFL you could use for it. just a suggestion since it works for me and I know you could use a cheap decent way of getting clones consistently. My experience with cloning's still pretty limited but I'm super stoked about my recent successes lol and I really hope you can get to this point of consistent clone success too.
Ok bed time for me. Goodnight Reg, oh and thanks again for those posts on my journal, though maybe I got a bit too vented, lol.
