My White widows are starting to smell so lovely now. They're almost hypnotizing me with their scents. Can't wait to inhale this juicy strain. Will bring me right back on memory lane to Amsterdam in the 90's

The bagging technique is for us people that don't live in a swamp. And here I thought my humidity was bad in the Midwest. It must be like living in a sweaty asshole at times, Tead.
You put the plugs in a cup, I put hydroton in the bottom so that it doesn't sit straight in the water in the cup then close it up. You can see some bagged up in the back of the first picture.
Roots!
I don't have the 100% success rate that Sue has, but I have a tendency to take clones early and sometimes they are to small to succeed. Anything that is a good solid cutting, roots when using this manner. Anywhere from 7-14 days. It's the same concept as putting them in a tray with a lid. You can tweak each one though, as some strains like more humidity than others. I open them every couple of days and refresh water in them as they need it.
It's the Toast method btw, I'd link the picture he just posted with the 50 some odd bags and the creepy dolls in the background but I can't figure out how to post someone else's picture. He's got this down to a science.

I'm interested in seeing how this goes for you. I'm still running 100% on TOAST's produce bag method. Not having to take more than one cutting is such a relief.
Haha! I figure they're just extra protein.
Interesting. I am kind of running some cloning experiments right now as well. I read Toast's method so I am trying two clones via the produce bag (one in rockwool, one in rapid rooter plug). I have one clone sitting in water with some clonex solution (I keep re-oxygenating the water daily and replacing the water every 3 days. I have 3 clones in rockwool in a humidity dome, and three clones in rapid rooter plugs (all 6 were taken around day 21-22 post 12/12 light switch....which was 13-14 days after hairs started popping up so I will see how revegging and rooting goes with that). I am also about to take several clippings from my big male (need to make him a bit smaller) and I will be attempting putting it directly into soil (like I do with my tomato clips which generally have 100% success rate) and trying that out. I didn't consider trying to do it in airpots so that is interesting. I was considering just sticking them in the soil after dipping them in clonex rooting gel.
My first go around cloning in a dome didn't go so well. Make several rookie mistakes that I have learned a lot from, but I recovered them enough to at least have a 50% success rate and got one of each strain which was really my goal. Now I am wanting to experiment on ways that are easy and have a high success rate. High success rate is important to me due to legal plant limits.

What do you have in the bottom of the cup? I have started trying Toast's method but my bags keep falling over. I was thinking of adding a few rocks to the corners to stabilize, but I kind like the cup idea with something in it.

Rocks should work. I use hydroton as I have a big bag left over from my attempt at dwc. It helps wick water up to the plug without letting the plug sit in water. I don't think the wicking is necessary, though. You mainly don't want to leave it sitting in water. Otherwise the plug stays saturated and the stem will rot.
Hey Sue and gang just dropping by to link my new Journal. It's all about indulging my inner mad scientist!

I'm already subbed Shiggity. Thanks for the invite. 
Tomorrow I'll lift the Carn clone up closer. This was a lot more light than she's used to. I want to bring her in gently.
Ultra Dawg loves it already.
I think they'll be happy. I know I am. These boards weigh next to nothing. The thin fans put off a fair amount of heat, but a fan mounted to blow across them would eliminate any heat concerns. In this space there's plenty of air movement from the room itself, so this won't be a problem. All the heat from the lights over this space vent straight up into the room. The wire shelf above is wide open.
My bale of ProMix was delivered,
and Hash Hound, that sweet man, carried it up the 40 steps for me. What a friend! Tomorrow or Thursday I'll mix up new soil.
He also came with gifts.
Interesting that the conversation in the room is centered around White Widow. WW is Hash Hound's major strain. He had some seeding going on that resulted in a nice WW x Cheese. The unmarked one is a cross with Querkle and WW, but I'm not certain of that. When Hash Hound sees this post he'll correct me if I'm wrong. He tells me to expect seeds in that bud. 
And I think I'll start with the Cheesy one. I've never smoked anything with Cheese.
How blessed do I feel that my first taste comes from such a talented one of our own? Pretty damned blessed, in case you didn't notice. 
Four little hits and I can feel her creeping in. Let me explore this unknown landscape. 
What a day! I rolled out of bed to be invited to go walking with a friend who treated me to lunch. Came home to gifted lights being assembled and hung with the help of a 420 friend who left me with buds of his own making. Another friend hauled the bale of Promix for me, and Hash Hound saved me the trouble and strain of carrying it up to the third floor. A day overflowing with joy.
Thank you Hash Hound, for coming to my rescue once again.
And thank you Dan, for the transformation of my garden into something spectacular.
All my garden ducks are in a row. Now it's up to me to learn to grow plants that more than meet the patient needs. Somewhere in me is a POTM that'll mushroom into a POTY.
A girl can dream, eh? I'm surrounded by brilliance. I'm beyond the grieving stage. I feel like I've found my calling in the med threads. I'm ready to learn to grow. I have equipment, lights, supplies, and the best coaches anyone could ask for.
This, my friends, is what one should expect from a life centered on joy. See why I keep after you to share that joy? There's a powerful rule in the universe that you get back what you put out. I don't see how I can be balancing the scales of all this abundance and happiness that keeps tumbling through my life, but I'll not complain.
Be joyful, and take every opportunity to share a smile, a laugh, some doses of unconditional love in this world overwhelmed with conditions. Do it just because it feels good. Life is supposed to feel good. Watch the universe bring you more to be joyful about.
Know what my greatest joy is? This. Just being here and doing all I can to help anyone that needs it. This doesn't cost me anything more than time, but the rewards I get far surpass anything money could buy.
Thank you all for caring about my ever-expanding garden, and for welcoming me into your lives so freely. Have a wonderful day.

I have another girl almost ready to come down. She is not quite my norm....she is kind of a bonzi plant. It is my Critical Jack that I was going to kill off months ago. I stuck her in the corner of the flower tent and let her do her thing. Here she is. 
Yes Sue the unmarked bud was the Widow Querkle. Only picked last Thursday, so it might still need to dry a bit.
Did you like the widow with Cheese? Cheese was from CBD Seeds from an exodus cheese cut (skunk).
The best of the skunks I have had so far.

There are bonsai artists that would pay good money for a clone that compact. Cool thing about herbaceous bonsai is the you can train and see development continuously instead of training once or twice a year. I'm almost hoping my Critical Jack seed turns out like that, almost but not quite. Thanks for sharing.
Tried out a new method of cloning. Used "living soil" instead of rooting medium in slightly modified airpots. I don't know if it goes under the category living soil, but I added a shitload of beneficial bacteria to the mix so it's alive all right. If my hypothesis are correct, this method will give the clones a superior root-system compared to clones rooted in rockwool or any other rooting-media out there. This is due to the nature of the air-pots air-pruning system. Since small enough containers doesn't exist, I modified their smallest model to become a "rooting-clones" model. I did however chose extremely hard to clone test subjects. 2 of them were 25 days into flowering and will be forced to re-vegg and root simultaneously
FIRST ATTEMPT OF CLONING IN SOIL WITH BENEFICIAL BACTERIA IN MODIFIED AIRPOT
What size pots were your air pots before you modified them, and what exactly did you do when you modified them Deville?

I kept getting interrupted when I tried first, and then we lost Internet access, so I waited until now to give her a try again. Those four little hits had my head spinning though, and two backup hits right now were enough.
....... I got lost for a good 15 minutes there watching the sunset colors of the sky change from light blue and pinks through violet tones to indigo. Huh! The pain on the iliac crest of my left hip isn't bothering me!
Can we chalk that up to the White Widow? I pulled or stressed a muscle there and it's been dogging me for days. The pain is still there, but my mind doesn't care about it. How is it I let you leave my home without sitting down and sharing a bowl or two? That keeps happening. I think it's because I'm always flying on capsules so I don't think about it.
Most people couldn't function that high. Next time you're here remind me. I really am that empty headed sometimes Hash Hound. I've fallen out of the habit of catching a buzz with a friend. Have you tried the hemp wick yet?
Rad, the DDA definately has some hallucinogenic attributes. That was the most delightful time. I remember lots of laughter and music from that evening. I have quite a collection of choices on hand and working hard to increase the options.
I don't believe I've had this many really good choices at once.
I'm glad you posted the pic of the driver Sue cause when Shiggity asked I was gonna ask you to take a pic of it for him.
haven't tried the rope yet.
I rolled a big fatty of my WQ for me and Lu tonight and we got toasted on about a 1/3 of it.
On the way back from your place today I was stopped in traffic on the South Side and had to take a pic

They were 1 liters. I modified them to around 0.75 liter by removing 4 rows. This also made them about 40% shorter. You see - inside you're supposed to put the bottom tray 3 rows up to allow aeration beneath the pot. I cut that one down to a half row.
I understand that it can be useful in a number of situations to have airflow beneath the pot, but this is not one of them.

It made it possible to put a healthy sized clone under a dome with extra many juicy nodes to allow for roots to grow from

Keep us posted on the clone/soil experiment. Its certainly not something I am opposed to doing instead of domes or bags if its successful. Its my preferred method on my tomatoes!

Holy crap! The day after I re-potted the root-bound mother into soil with beneficial bacteria - She looks so happy.
Same applies to her clone btw. She looks more healthy now than when I took her.
