I was gifted a shit-ton of SSDD f1 keeper cuts in the mail last night. These came from a now nameless benefactor, amongst a bunch of other cool shit in a care package.
Cuts
Look for softer more pliable cuts from lower down the plant if you can. Choose healthy cuts and strip leaves down to the top few leaves. Cut at a 45 degree angle with a razor blade and place in a solution of aloe, molasses, and water for at least 10 minutes.
Next I prep my pucks by soaking them in the same solution as the cuts. I cut down the middle of each one and gently split it apart, leaving it still intact. This allows me to position the cut in the puck without pushing off cloning solution or bending the cut. I try to get a couple nodes positioned in the puck, recut at a 45 and slather with cloning gel (Aloe, clonex, etc.). Wrap tight with a plant tie, label and bag it.
I keep these bags in the corner of my veg tent and open the bag twice a day. After a while I vent the bag permanently to allow a natural dry back ala @LegsMahoney . I’ve had pretty good success this way and it takes up minimal space for even more plants in my garden.
Hope this helps someone down the road.
Aloha ya’ll!
That’s a dope way to do clones @CrunchBerries. I’m gonna give that a try. I just do em in a bubble cloner and end up with a bunch of dangling roots that I then need to fish delicately into my hydroton basket.
B’s description of Dream Beaver grabbed me from the first time I read it originally.
Dream Beaver - ( Dirty hippy x Appalachia ) [*]
I knew this would be a special strain, and i needed a special name, something that would make people go WTF! and crack a big smile. i envisioned this odiferous sativa dominant strain as something that the holy man from even cow girls get the blues would toke on up in his cave on full moon nights. i had that dreamweaver song from the 70’s stuck in my head and was thinking of native American names, and dream beaver was born. later when i searched around for what beaver medicine was in the totems of indigenous people i came across this info and everything fell into place:
“In essence, the beaver tells us to believe in our dreams as if they were real. Build on them as if the dream is your reality.
Change the course of your life flow by structuring your life with a goal to coax your dreams into your physical reality. Animal symbolism of the beaver deals with building our lives up around our dreams.”
The genetics of dream beaver are dirty hippy crossed to appalachia, dirty hippy is an afgooey blocked cross and sister to the snow lotus male, appalachia is green crack x jj’s tres dawg created by h&l. this magical mammalian hybrid smells of muskrat, kitchen herbs, caramelized onion, baked garlic, animal den, she musk, pommellow, peppercorn, and pink grapefruit zest…no joke…. with a blast off sativa high that really gets you moving and grooving, and hefty yields of some of the most exotic buds on the block. get your dreams in motion with some dream beaver in your victory garden. (Variety Mostly Sativa; Yield High; Plant Height Tall; Grows Greenhouse, Grows indoors, Grows outdoors; Flowering Time 9 - 10 weeks; Harvest Month October)
I wish I could lay claim to that one, but I’d be a fraud if I tried, pulled that one from MassMedicalStrains IG, I’m sure the real thanks should go to some old head somewhere else. But in this case I’m just forwarding the info here to all the homies, happy that people are using it to thier advantage though! What a fucking care package crunch!!
That’s sucks your in the office, but that sip looks nice. Is that the 12gal? How much water do you think the reservoir holds? I would definitely drill a fuck-ton of holes in that floor. Thanks for sharing!
