Weasel Forges Ahead

Thanks. I meant to update the cloning situation when this round is officially over. Basically all the remaining ones from the aero cloner perished, including the ones I put into solocups of soil, coco, etc.
The ones I started in perlite at the same time are all fine, though fading. Most of them rooted. Out of 20+ cuttings there are about 5 left unrooted. It’s been 5.5 weeks since they were cut. There have been no signs of stem-rot so I’m giving the Z9 full credit for that.

One more thing about cloning I feel is worth mentioning is that I attribute my success in cloning to the time that I actually remove the cutting from the plant relative to how long the light was on for that day. I do the cloning process about 1/3 of the time into that day. I believe that 6 or so hours is adequate amount of time for photosynthesis to make a good amount of energy in the leaves, yet the 12 or so remaining hours of daylight will allow the cutting to repurpose that energy into rooting and stabilizing the rest of the plant.

thanks friend,, but,, sheesh,, aarrgh,, i am cringing and cowering a bit,,

very different and not near as scary,, least in me teeny mind
 
5.5 weeks in Purgatory? That's a long time between life and death. I'm inclined to believe that not completely dead means it's totally alive, but all mine take off around 10-11 days.
 
Plants and room are looking great Nivek. It must be very liberating to get all that headroom after being squashed for so long.
Kinda hard to put the time in to revamp the grow once you get locked into the ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ scenario. So maybe your mildew issues were a blessing in disguise.

Just the fact that they didn’t grow green mould or black slime after two weeks is such a big step forward that it gives me room to go over the rest of the details. Most cuttings did root quite a while back and they’re still trickling in. Some of the remaining ones are pretty sub-par cuts anyway. I took lots extra.

Ffs. Slow the hell down in here

Ha ha. The thread is nothing compared to real life. I’m glad no one is around to watch me running in circles like a maniac under the influence of the Chocolope. Slow down? No, I can’t slow down! It’s totally ridiculous.

Only four hours sleep again too. Sleeping is very difficult with a large horde of bats trooping through the roof above your bed at 5 am, just as that wretched songbird starts up outside the window again... :eek:

PC X MT four between wet paper towel... Hopefully not as finicky as she sounds...

Both the PC/MT phenos I grew were beauties. They both were prone to mould though. Not surprising since separately the PC and MT strains remain the most mould prone of any I’ve grown. On the other hand my RH locally is super high and I doubt most normal people (like you) would have any issues.
 
Totally. I took so many cuttings of the one PC pheno I was having trouble with - I could start a sea of green in flowering if I had any room left. Veg is full of tiny plants now I’m going to end up throwing most of them out. Feast/famine.
 
I totally agree with you- I like them to go too- They’re fond of eating my pets. There are a lot too- goshawks, peregrine falcons, Cooper’s hawks, redtail, sharpshinned, harrier, a variety of owls. Eagles don’t count they’re more like flying rats around here.

What happened with this? Did they go?

Yet another person asked me what the variegated bud was like to smoke, shaming me a little and giving my arm the final twist, so I tried some of it. Anyway I’d always meant to drag the stuff out and see how it looks but never got around to it.

Not as weak as I’d thought/hoped it would be. :lot-o-toke:

It’s a typical indica high for me- nice warm glow but sort of very discombobulating. A bit stressful...Quite stressful actually.
Still alive...

Lots of seeds in here. Something I really don’t seem to have noticed at harvest. There are a half dozen nanners that I saw.

We were talking nanners recently. Could a half dozen nanners like that one in center have caused seeds like these ones?

I wonder what the chances are of them producing more variegated plants.
 
Blech- I’d almost managed to forget how much I dislike that confusing paranoid high. Thanks to the gods for inventing sativas
 
I read a post yesterday saying that Neville used the ethylene gas from fruit to cause males to hermie and grow pistils. Worth a shot.

Looks pretty scientificy...
 
You got that right I knew a girl named Ethyl once.

Edit- On second thought I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t hang out with her too long. :hmmmm:

Lots of these guys around this time of year. They come in several colours - white, green, yellow, black, and varieties in between. I turned around today to see this one slithering up my framing square. The big ones get maybe a couple inches longer than this stretched out. At least one has managed to infiltrate the grow in the past but it didn’t make out all that great under the lights :rip:

The first of the two new PC’s from seed to approach harvest. The other one got delayed cause I had trouble cloning it. This one has been sitting around for quite a while now, not doing all that much, but slowly getting there. I dragged it out on the journal a while back.

I’ve still got a good feeling about it. It doesn’t have anything like the stickiness of the old PC, and not quite the level of overpowering fumes either, but full points for bud appearance so far.

Call me crazy but I put it back in flowering for a few more days or a week. I can see that blue colour that I like... just starting to come out.
