I can not believe I typed all that. I was trying to remember what I’m going through and I’m now desperately needing cannabis for medical use.

My old handle was probably Scrogit back then , wasn’t very popular to remove so much material most people preferred sogs or just old school but I think the numbers spoke for themselves and most training has a bit of scrogging now .

Stealth and compact cabinets were popular at the time… I remember the discussion of vertical vs. horizontal scrog. I especially liked those tall vertical setups with two vertically hanged lamps. The craftsmanship was superb!

Couldn’t afford the air cooled lamps most the vertical grows used but I did try using about 50 CFLs hanging all around a vertical slab of rockwool , what a nightmare , a spiders web of live wire and running water , only once lol . I liked the colliseums but again they were mega pricey and not that portable . My first grow was a stealthy cabinet grow but after enjoying the process I immediately decided to go whole room and built a ‘stealthy’ 4 foot cube carbon filter in the attic of the flats I had the top floor in , luckily noone every went up there because that thing sounded like a jet engine when it kicked in , I was pretty successful back then and I would put it down to the spot on environment that filter and fan set up produced .

Thank you! Don’t know how much I’ll be hanging around. With all the Facebook groups I belong to all I need another forum. Good I’m retired though.
Check this out on PoM. Seems he was a big time operator on the narcotics ring, Silk Road. Got busted, recently was put into a detention hospital for injuries sustained, whatever that means. “Bring popcorn”.

This has been discussed a lot. Please change your link to web archive and not direct from a growing site to doj…

Howdy from Texas. Still crazy after all these years. I doubt if there are any of the original members of Overgrow.com, a forum that dates back to the late teens, 2017 to the early 2020’s. I still have dozens of posts I wrote and others from back in the day. Example, here’s one of my white papers. Others are High phosphorous one, Moisture Stress, the infamous Topping to get 4 Main colas, etc.
Take care amigos,

Air Layering is an almost foolproof means of doing asexual propagation. There is no stress to the mother plant, no humidity tents to fool with, easy and cheap.
PLANT PROPAGATION by AIR LAYERING TECHNIQUE
-
While the plant is in its vegetative stage, select a location at the top of the plant, or any terminal growing location in which you would like to take a clone. Identify a node below this terminal growth to be used for the production of roots, and pinch or snip off the leaf petioles as close to the node as possible, leave alone until the next day to give the petiole wounds a chance to heal. This will be your future rooting site.
-
We will now trick this area to redirect its food resources towards the making of new roots at our future rooting site, which will speed up the cloning process. There are two ways of fooling Mama Nature:
a. Slit the stem just below the rooting node site. Pry the slit open with a small piece of a toothpick, leaving the toothpick in place, or,
b. Here’s a more efficient method. Using a single-edge razor blade make a cut all the way around the stem just below the node, and through the bark into the phloem. You’ll feel a little resistance when you hit it. The phloem is the tissue that conducts food from the leaves downward. Your goal is to cut off this flow of food just below your rooting site. Don’t worry, you have not affected any growth below this area. Make another cut about 1/2" or so below the first cut, and again guide the razor blade all the way around the stem. Join the two cuts with a vertical cut so that it looks like an < I >. The “bark” will now slip or peel off the stem all the way around. Using your fingernail, peel the “bark” off the stem, and lightly scrape the phloem tissue off the 1/2" or so of exposed stem. Don’t overdue it or you will get into the xylem, which is the conduit that conducts water and nutes upward. This second method interrupts the transmission of food more efficiently than the first.
You have just created a condition in which the top terminal part is still receiving water and nutes, and the food manufactured by the upper leaves is being retained at and above the future rooting site.
-
Dust the node site (located above the cut bark/phloem tissue) with Rootone F or anyone of your favorite cloning agents. Don’t overdue it.
-
Wet a handful of sphagnum moss until it is saturated with water, tap water is fine, and wring out the excess. Wrap the moss around the node site. This is where your roots will show. Hold the moss in place and wrap CLEAR plastic (baggie plastic is fine) or Saran Wrap around the sphagnum moss several times and tightly secure it (wrap it) with masking tape at the top and at the bottom. This seal should be such that excess water can escape but moisture will be retained. Place the plant under normal lighting conditions.
-
Roots will form quickly. When you see a flush of roots show up within the confines of the plastic wrap, clip it off just below the bottom of the plastic wrap, and bingo, you have a new addition to the household.
Needless to say, carefully unwrap the plastic, cut off your new plant and pot it up.
