Well the clowns decided to do some experimenting. After reading about the Crystal we are currently growing and realizing that we had no source for clones for future grows of this strain we decided to try to clone it.
Soooo 46 days into flowering (March 15th, gulp) we took 6 cuttings as shown below. These were taken from the very bottom of the plant but could not find one suitable cutting that did not have a bud on it so Slappy took the cuttings anyway!
With the help of a buddy they were nurtured and cared for in the hopes we can get some roots to form...He is a genius and we got roots from 1 on March 30th.
He brought it to me on April 1 for me to put into a tub. This is how it looked on 3/30:
And here is what it looks like as of 4/7
As you can see these cuttings have trichomes on them so we were a little skeptical about whether or not we can revert them back to veg. But now that we have roots we are in. Once we have roots we have never lost a plant so we plan on turning this into a mom so that we can continue to grow this strain.
More good news. We are told there is at least one more that has developed at least one root and there is a possibility that there is going to be another survivor of this experiment. Not too shabby seeing as they were taken from a very developed plant.
Right now the one I have (pictured above) is sitting in one of our tubs and is under a halogen desk lamp until we get our 2 new tents constructed and Slappy and I have converted our current grow box into the mother/clone box (we have a lot of plans in the works atm). Anyway...it doesn't seem to mind the type of lighting it's under at the moment so we just keep on truckin'.
Looks like the clowns and friends are gonna be lousy with Crystal in the coming months!
I love this hobby!
to you clowns...
, +rep to you both.
We all know and love what that is like.
