Clones. Or maybe science experiments?

Wow, you stuff them all in there. Plus, you don't cut back your fan leaves?

I just took cuts a few days ago....difference between a professional and me the hobby guy. But I do everything from start to finish. Right now those cuts are all I have going, They are all healthy and should show roots in a few.

72 per tray. I do snip the tips of the fans, and keep at least 2 nodes.

Stuffing the trays full is what works best for me. It helps keep humidity levels in check and moisture even in the cubes.

Sometimes I miss trimming a fan leaf, or a blade on a fan leaf. No worries. Most will root in 7-10 days, a couple strains take a bit longer.

Should I thin this out? Defoliate

 

[oldfogey8]

Yes

 

[Treetard]

Yes

Ha! Probably would have been shorter for me to just ask u over the phone…

 

[Treetard]

I need a machete. It’s a jungle in there.

Beautiful plant.

Beautiful plant.

Looks like something FTD florists would deliver(if you are lucky enough to have a florist that delivers cannabis-maybe a side project for Lesso’s seed company)…

Nice mother's day gift....

some weird re veg stuff going on.

This one says dont cut the tips. I have never cut the tips of my clones but to each his own. Both ways work. I clone all kinds of plants,fruits and veggies. I take the cutting. Dip it in cloning powder and put in in a plug or soil.

Should Leaf Tips Be Cut When Cloning? | Vanessa Nielsen

Many growers have success with trimming the leaf tips when cloning cannabis. However, there is very little peer-reviewed research that backs this idea up.

And this one says cut the tips. Go figure. Again,,both ways will work.

How to take a cutting:

• Look for branches that are sturdy and healthy. You want at least two nodes on the final cutting, so pick a branch that is healthy and long enough. A sturdy clone will lead to a sturdy plant.
• Cut the clone off the mother, cutting above the node on the mother plant. It’s OK to use scissors here; it may be hard to get a razor in the middle of the mother plant.
• Then, using a razor, cut below the bottom node on the fresh cutting at a 45° angle to the branch. This will increase the surface area of the rooting surface, promoting faster growth.
• Place your fresh cutting immediately into a rooting hormone. Then, put it directly into a root cube. If using an auto-cloner, put a collar around it and place it in the auto-cloner; you’ll put rooting hormone in the cloner after all cuttings have been taken.
• Once done taking the cutting, remove unnecessary leaves toward the bottom and clip off the tips of the remaining fan leaves on the cutting. This supports photosynthesis, helping your clones uptake nutrients and water.

Never will understand how cutting the tips off leaves supports Photosynthesis since the leaf is where it does the photosynthesis.
The post above with that link did a study that says exactly what I'm saying about photosynthesis.

That plant is one he harvested buds from and is revegging it to save the genetics. Some kinda weird mutation in seeds he got from a pollen chucker on here. Says the smoke has a pineapple flavor.

Looks like it went thru A chipper

 

[Treetard]

I did way better on round 2

 

[Treetard]

There are a few I monster cropped here’s a pic of one. It looks bananas

 

[pute]

Are you giving cal/mag. What is your PH?

 

[Treetard]

Those ones I don’t really care about I have nowhere to put them my tent has like 8 plants in it and it’s only 4x4. I just gave them water and the ph was like 6.5 I think

 

[Treetard]

My buddy said I could put them in his woods but I don’t think he really wants to. He’s not as enthusiastic as I am about growing weed. Don’t want to toss them but I’d like to make room for some other stuff
