The Elite Clone Only Strain's Journal

[Pothead420]

some current pics from this morning.
and the last pic is some Jamaican X OgersKush im smoking!!:48:
if you see the pic of the KKSC clone you will notice it grows sideways weird the mother does this also all side growth goes out at a 90deg. angle its getting big but its not gaining much height.

looking good man,
did you cut the bottom out of that small pot the top44 is in?

 

[greenfriend]

man i wish i could snag a few cuttings from those moms. the clubs round here carry some nice clones like deep chunk x strawberry cough which is clone only, but pre98 bubba and original diesel are nowhere to be found

yup its called elevated potting its good for plants in small pots. like the 6x6x7 pots i use in veg when there smaller. if i just planted the clone in the pot theres only half the container for good root production. if i use the elevated potting only burying the pot an in. giving the plant more room for roots and i can wait a bit longer to transplant. here is an example im using 2-gal. grow bags and for flower i cut the bottoms off them and put them into 3-gal. containers thats 5-gal. of soil with the footprint of a 3-gal. pot.

most of those clubs have no idea what strain they got most of the time they cant give you any info other than the name thats labeled on it. its a bummer but if you find the rite spot and the owner knows his stuff to get legit cuts from then thats cool
as for my cuts you would probably find a pre98 before you would find an OD its gonna be hard to get that one its held very tightly in the growers community. there all killer strains i havent had the pleasure of flowering any yet. but i have smoked some and i seen all the mothers in full bloom and the smells that some of these strains have are great. and the yield on the Dabney Blue, KKSC, and the OD are big need lots of stakes to hold up all that wieght. also if they have a legit Deep Chunk x SC that might be something to try.:hubba: both strains are great and together its probably a nice clone.

well after scouting out some patches to grow in ive decided to just keep the clones in the yard so i can take better care of them. after last years loss and all the hard work for nothing i would rather keep them close. i got 13 clones going they will be grown in pots. i stopped being scared and said what the F*** just do it already. so i got them out some hidden in other growth. and some along the fence.
i got mostly Original Daywrecker Diesel, Dabney Blu, and pre-98 Bubba Kush and i got 1-Berm x G13and 1-KKSC :hubba:

ya thats true for vendor-supplied dispensaries. I get clones from Coffeeshop blue sky which is affliated with Oaksterdam nursery and Oaksterdam University so all their clones are always legit, they just dont add new strains very often. the dc x sc is so yummy - super heavy indica high, and 7 wks flowering but really low yielding so I dont grow it except occasionally

 

[Pothead420]

ya that is a reliable source!! i here Harborside also has legit cuttings.
if you can get your hands on the following cuts grab em up cause there some of the best strains going very potent strains.
Green Crack
707 Headband
SFV OGK
any Alien tech gear

 

[Pothead420]

the plants were getting really big!! so i did alot of topping to get the hiegth down. i cloned some of the cuts mostly Dabney Blu for outdoors. the rest i just i cloned 2-3 of each strain gonna start new moms so we can either flower the current plants or just hack them and start over. here they are there still good size but i took alot of growth of them. the only ones i left alone was my Berm x G13 and the Pre98 BK that Bubba it a sweet looking plant it has huge leaves! but the structure of the plant is nice.
the smaller plants are rooted clones for outside got like 9 AK-47 x Bubbleberry
2 KKSC and the rest are Dabs.

im getting so anxious to flower after vegging all these killer strains for a couple months. i have yet to try anything but the Dabney so i setup my 4x4x7 Homebox. i got 1000w HPS its in an air cooled hood with lots of air flowing thru it. thats the only way i can keep my temps down i got 2-465cfm Dayton Blowers. 1 is blowing cooler air from the basement into the hood that fan is adjustable since i wired a regular dimmer switch into it so i can turn it up or down. the other is sucking out the other side and out of the room to get rid of the hot air. and there is a 265cfm Dayton Blower bringing fresh air into the tent. so far so good it has been running for 2 days and so far i hit 77deg. and the humidity has been around 40-45.
currently i am dry running the setup to check temps and humidity before i put anything in there. but im thinking 4 plants im gonna cycle my mother plants into flower.
im gonna try and go with a Dab, pre98 Bubba,
Berm x G13, and a OD if they all fit. if not the big OD is out and a smaller Dab is in. those are the 4 plants i would like to flower. and here are some pics of the tent setup.

looking good man,
you can easyly see you've set this up many times before!
so what temps and rh are you seing in there today?
are you gona stick the mothers straght in and re get them later or take cuts off them and flower them?
that 1000w hps should do the trick!

thanks bro!! ya i set this tent up many times i got it down now :hubba:
i stuck 4 mothers into the tent i already have rooted clones of all them.
so those clones will either be turned into mother plants or i might do the motherless method.
1k all the way bro it has alot more production than my 400 or 600w lights. it covers my 4x4 area great.

and here are some pics from last night. they look like there drooping but its because of being in a bag for the move over here.
you can see in the lights on pics from this morning there standing tall and healthy. i usually do lots of small plants but i think i might pull the same amount of bud from 4 big plants maybe more. i got the following strains in flower Dabney Blu, Original Diesel, Bermese x G13, Pre-98 Bubba Kush
the Dab and OD are very big yielders so i expect good things from those lady's. especialy the OD its supposed to be an all around 10 very potent, dank smell, big yields. the Berm x G13 is an average yield and the Bubba is low but is also a 10 for potency and taste it makes up for the lower yields but there all some killer smoke in there own way:hubba:.

 

[Pothead420]

so i got 4 plants in flower all killer cuts.
i also set up my small veg tent i am only using a few 44w CFL's cause i want the slowest growth i can get. i have my new mothers going in there but i dont want the growth ive been getting i would like to keep them as small as possible.
so i cycled 4 of my big moms into flower and hacked down the rest of the moms and im starting new mothers. i got 6 strains in there i decided to just stay with my clone only strains. Dab, Berm x G13, OD, pre98 Bubba, KKSC, and i also started a AK-47 x Bubbleberry i ran this a few times and i realy like it. and check those clones out a couple are over 1-1/2ft. with stems the size of my thumb they seem to root faster than the smaller clones. i always thought that small cuttings were better to root not big woody stems. but its working out that way. also the last pic is the Serious seeds AK-47 mom were gonna take clones and hack that plant up also. the plants are getting way to big for the area there in. so were gonna start again from clones.

 

[Pothead420]

well i transplanted from 3gal. pots to 5gal. buckets and i drilled out some drainage holes and drilled holes along the top of the bucket to use when tying down branches. im gonna have to do lots of LST work to keep them short enough otherwise they will grow into the light. i tied a few branches but im waiting till the plants dry out so i can bend the branches easier. there being feed with Bio-Bizz Bio Bloom, and Fish Mix, GH Alg-A-Mic, and Floralicious Plus, Botnicare Liquid Karma, and Cal-Mag, Epsom Salt, and Molasses at 1000ppm. the OD tied down easy the Dab i have to wait till the plant drys out and the branches get more rubbery.
the Pre-98 and Berm x G13 should be good without training they have very little stretch.

 

[Pothead420]

and here are the new moms under 4-44w CFls and being feed at 250ppm of just GH Flora Nova Grow im trying to slow the growth so they wont overgrow there space.:hubba:

 

[Pothead420]

all the pics i ever saw of the Dabney Blu and Original Diesel where good size multi top plants both Huge yielders. im hopping they dont mind being trained! this morning i finished training the Dab the OD i did easy but the Dab did not want to bend so i let it dry out to make the stems more rubbery and tied it down this morning then gave it a good watering. so everything is now in its place and i dont think i will have a height prob now. once the tops on the plant start turning toward the light it should be a nice plant

 

[Pothead420]

here are some pics of my outdoor clones!!
i got mostly Dabney Blu, Original Diesel witch are big yielders.
and a couple Bermese x G13, Pre-98 Bubba Kush and 1 KKSC
the KKSC also has very big yields but can go for 11-12 weeks in flower so im not sure how it will finish in the northeast.

 

[smokybear]

Wow.. Some fantastic ladies man. Great work!! You are a busy little bee!! Take care and be safe.

 

[Pothead420]

coming up on 2 weeks 12/12 i think there done stretching. now there off to the races.:hubba: they stayed very nice very little stretch between nodes looks like there gonna stack some nice colas. the Bubba & Berm x G13 had almost no stretch. the Dab & OD probably almost doubled in size with lots of budsites there all very nice looking plants. im so siked to finally have these cuts in flower.
