Stanks Go Perpetual In 2018!

Clone Update

Last update of the day. I took some clones off the Blue Dream on Monday so this is day 5 for the clones. They are looking great and are pretty happy. I find that I usually start seeing roots around day 9 or 10 so we have a while to go. I only need two of the clones for what I am doing but I took three just in case one doesn't make it.

I spray them daily with a H2O and clonex solution and just try to keep the temp and humidity range stable and leave them alone. The top to the dome only comes off once a day.

Hey Van, would I be wasting my time mixing up a 24 hr tea if I didn't have an air pump? But rather just stirred it every couple/few hours?

 

[Van Stank]

Not at all. What I would do before was I would use 1 gallon jugs and mix the amendments directly into the jug and just shake it and take the lid off afterwards. I would shake it 5 or 10 times a day as I walk by it. You just want to get oxygen into there.....so shaking works to do that.

Now that I can do

One hint....make sure you double check the cap!!! Tea isn't fun to clean up (there is a reason I went to the air pump and air stone besides the ease LOL)

That is an uber tip!!!!

I love it that your clones look so happy. I always expected mine to look like crap for awhile lol. You really give your girls the love VonStankses. Props.

Gonna run some ACT . Have all the stuff laying around from the fish/plant tanks . Got into Aquascaping a couple of years ago lol. It's kind of Bonsai plant scapes in an aquarium ? Was always like this crosses over ?

Hey stank! I’m loving your clones! They look very healthy!

The top to the dome only comes off once a day.

If you are there during the day take that dome off, set a timer on your phone for 30 minutes. Check them when the alarm goes off and see if they are sagging at all. If not give them another 30 minutes. If they're sagging at all mist them, put them back under the dome for an hour or so and do it again. The more they are in the open air the quicker they'll get the idea that they aren't going to be pampered under the dome and need to put down roots. Also, cutting half the fan leaves off helps greatly. It allows the plant to put more energy into producing roots as opposed to growing leaves.

Just a suggestion how I do my clones.

Also wondering, do you remember who posted the bad*** 12/12 from seed pic a day or two ago? I think it was newty maybe-but I kinda thought about incorporating that into my grow and had some questions!

Howdy Stanksters! As expected, your garden is happy and healthy. Nice work!

Hey Kismet, thanks bud. I try to give the ladies in my life the treatment they deserve! I am kind of experimenting with the clones this time around but they are definitely the happiest clones I have had at this point.

This is an UBER uber tip!

Yeah its one worth writing down.....though I can say, it will only take once for you to remember (unless you smoke while gardening)

Thanks Beez but just doing some experimenting. I cloned last time one way, trying another way this time and seeing what happens. As long as one takes, its all good. I think they will all take.....guessing around day 11.

No clue brother. I don't remember or I didn't see it.

Hindu Kush Drop Update

We got up this morning and the seed had cracked and we had a little bit of white sticking out. By the time we got home later in the day we had a nice tap root peeking out. Ms Stank got her planted in her solo cup tonight so we are halfway to lift off.
