I am
I am using the same right now!!! Fox farms happy frog is what I was recommended and like I said already I paid out an extra 13 bucks for this disaster I really wish I would have stayed with my original soil plan!!! Supersoil from home depot iwhat I used in the Afgoo and they did just fine drying out!!! It might have been different Cus it was outdoors, but my mom uses that in her indoor plants (not cannabis) and she says she waters every other day!!! So with a perlite mix I should do just fine with that soil indoors, its said that the soil has gnats already in it from hole depot. Bur again my mom says no issues and if.that is all o have to worry about, then I'll take it!!! Rather deal with gnats than dying plants!!!

pain in the ass lol
i think hes suggesting you take clones just incase the plant isn't going to make it. If the problems are not genetic then any clones you take and root shouldn't follow these traits as long as the feeding/medium is on point.

you can't really take clones then, the easiest way to clone in my opinion is to build a little aero/bubble cloner. You can do it for around $30. it is by far the best thing I've ever had in my garden. 100% success rate and I've put over 50 cuttings in there so far

good job TCK!!! 100% damn!!! thats not luck, thats skill!!! LOL, well another flaw in that plan is that I dont even have 30 bucks!!! its why I grow my own meds!!! its cheaper to grow a lot of it rather than spend 40 - 50 bucks on only an 1/8th!!!

wouldn't call it luck bro, all I do is fill it with plain tap water, plug in the pump, make a cut, put it in the neoprene disc and then wait a week, come back and there are roots every time. It's definitely worth investing in, especially if you want to grow perpetually. Take my experience for example. Spent around $30 on 5 female seeds, planted 2, take 2-4 clones off each plant a week before you flower it, harvest a few plants ever month all from those 2 seeds. I pull around 10oz a month per harvest, which is a bit on the low side since I'm still dialing it in, but it all came from those 2 seeds. Since I planted those seeds and smoked the plants a year ago, I'm still growing from the same initial seed. Look at it this way, spend a little now, smoke A LOT from here on out lol.
Same reason why I grow, I was spending $120 on a quarter every week, which REALLY adds up quickly. Now I save that $120 a week and smoke more

haha wouldn't even call it skill, once you do it, you realize how simple and hassle free it is
Check out the link in 420fied Sig for a homemade cloner
Ocean forest is great soil I have used it but still added some perlite. I don't mind watering every other day once they get bigger. Poor roots...they want O2 bad!

I second 420fields DIY cloner, its the same one I modeled mine from, except mine is in a 5 gal bucket with a 160gph pump. It has 17 sites, which is more than enough for me at a time.

another way to clone, is a mix of perlite and vermiculite.. with plastic cups for a dome... It's easy to cut the lowest growth for clones just use a clean razor blade and scrape off the opposite side of your 45 *(where the f@#% is the degree button) a little to get maximum results... use the cheap rooting powder they have at the hardware place, it'll work and it's gonna cost you about 15 ducks...
OR keep fighting the problem by dunking the whole root ball of the plant in an a huge bucket of water to gently (dissolve) knock all the dirt off the plant and re-pot into the FF soil.. I'd still have a couple cuttings on stand by just incase you fall into the giant tub of water and end up in tangled roots. I smoked some leaves...sorry.

My only suggestion would be to use smaller pots throughout the stages of the plants on your next grow. Imo it makes watering and feeding much easier and promotes a healthy root ball.

whats good ricky!!!
Thanks for the opinion!!! I have been thinking the same thing since I started having this problem!!! The only thing that pisses me off about this is that on my first grow, I put a rooted clone straight into the 5 gallon pot and I had no watering or drying problems!!!
No worries, about this now, I have made a executive decision!!! its not set in stone just yet!!! but I feel it is necessary!!! I bought the rooting hormone today and something similar to a clone dome!!! I will post pix as I do the clones!!!
