Told my Wife after I get her new Washer and dryer in one . My next purchase will be a tent. Probably a 2x4
Yehaaaaaaaaaa

Looking at 2x4’s myself

 

[oldfogey8]

I have a doofus question; why do I keep seeing leaves with the ends chopped off?

When cloning, it is recommended to trim the fan leaves back(I usually trim about halfway to the stem)to minimize water loss while the clone takes root.

Thanks, oldfogey.

Can recommend spider farmer 2x4. It's oversized (55"x28") and of nice quality.

GDP can be acquired in seed form.

This specific cuts is 30+ years old, originating in Humboldt California. It is the precursor to Kens GDP.

They do that with clones

 

[WeedHopper]

Are you sure?

Not really.

Just clones? Not transplants?

 

[gmo]

Just clones? Not transplants?

Correct.

 

[NewbOldster]

Correct.

Thanks, gmo!

Is that like a booster just at the beginning of veg? I don't recall seeing those cuts on adult plants.

It's a clone thing. Less leaf area to release moisture while waiting to root ....some say it promotes growth... don't know about that?

[WeedHopper]

I've read two different Opinions on that. Some botanist say leave the leaves alone because they suck up more sunlight.

 

[Bubba]

I've done it both ways, doesn't seem to really matter a great deal from my experience. I have had both cut and uncut leaves on clones that all worked fine.

Bubba

 

[WeedHopper]

Yep

 

[Bubba]

Like most, we are taught things when we begin, and find something that works and works well and stuck with it, because it "works." Maybe some thing's we do don't matter. We still do them because it is part of a routine we feel works...

[WeedHopper]

Well said Bubba and 100% true.

I find that when you trim them, they fit in the tray a lot better without touching leaves. I usually cut mine back when I clone
