Too tense :100:

How did these things get so close in grow cycles!? :crazy_face:
Looks like Tiki HSC is going to Flower very soon… next week or two. Only weeks behind the Powie Twins next door.

Really gotta keep this stuff spread out a bit more in the future. Setting myself up for failure

That’s a familiar problem, the next lot are always ready before I’m ready or have room for them in the flower space. I like your refrigerated cuttings idea, is it as simple as it looks, just cuttings in sandwich bags in the fridge and they go into a sort of hibernation? That would be great for buying extra time.

Thats pretty much it, Igor…
I found some info here, and on a couple other sites.
Basically, dont freeze them… low 40s works best. They just need a bit of moisture and open the bag every week or several days to check condition, make adjustments and exchange air.
You could use any means to support them, but does need to be sealed environment.

The lack of light and lower temperature puts them in a sort of stasis. Buys time. Been in since this past weekend. They seem to be doing well so far.

Make sure cuttings are long enough that you can cut at least 1" off the stem when you decide to go forward and try to get roots to come out. That last inch or possibly 2 inches of stem may be compromised.

If mine look good this weekend, I’ll probably let them slide another week then see about putting small selection in cups or Turbo Kloner to see how roots populate.

She’s filling that canopy :100:
Very happy with this one, so far…

Cool to know youve done it with success!
I’ve had a couple start to look bad. Will try drying a bit. I think they are a bit too moist, and I did remove the paper towel from one bag. I’ll check again tonight or tomorrow :100:

Here’s Saturdays In-Tent cam shots…

Overall, she’s looking pretty damn good. The one branch scares me, for sure, Other than that, shes tits.
Gave full-strength Veg feeding yesterday, and got a few gallons left over to top off. She’ll be on Bloom nutes come this weekend :100:

I have no idea what she’s going to do after the flip. Dont want to overgrow this space…

Thanks, Gadarien!

I feel she’s doing all the work. Im just around for the ride. Gonna start getting exciting now. Less clearance in the amount of -5" due to box fan installed above EVO4 lamp.
Let the stress-fest begin! :beers:
