And we have roots

[MadScientist]

Hey there participants!

We have a good 2 weeks to veg the clones… Most people have rooted clones already!

Let the games begin! Thanks for your support peeps!

Hello everyone, my clone is kinda shabby, would you guys mind if switch to my back up, another LB that was put to clone 5 days after the original one…

[OleReynard]

Is this how you clone, is there something else in the water? Love the vial idea, lot more in lot less space.

[HaRdRoC]

Give ‘r’ mine still haven’t rooted yet lol

[AllOra]

At the moment. It’s handy, if not ideal.

A glimpse into my garage

I started using test tubes when I was grafting. The tube rack is a sort of holding area. I take a bunch of cuttings and some get grafted, I slash the others at the cut and roll them in rooting powder. They sit in the tubes of distilled water, pretty happy, until roots happen (or not.) Every couple days I pull the shoot out, put my thumb over the top and shake to airate the water. I top it off and back they go. Could potentially keep 64 alive, if not thriving, until I decide what they want to b…

[OleReynard]

Makes since, distilled water should have no germs like well or city water.
I tried cloning the water way but they’d just die but I also wasn’t using rooting hormone first either.

[OleReynard]

Whats your percentage that survive evertime you propagate?

[AllOra]

My thumbs are not always clean… My intention is to select hardy creatures that can withstand my particular style of neglect/abuse.

[AllOra]

I would say one out of three develop healthy roots.

Two of six grafting attempts succeeded once I got a technique down but my hygiene for grafting gets significantly more attention.

Since no one has answered you yet Mad Scientist. I don’t mind. Use the backup.

[ModicumGenes]

I dont mind either. You lose 5 days of Veg if u feel its fair then it is fair

[herb4ever]

Updated photo, I didn’t have a clear cup to monitor root growth, but I have new growth which is a good sign.

[Mongobongo]

Took er out for a pic tonight and dropped the cup. I yelled “fuck” so loud the next farm over probably heard.

She snapped in 4 places. Hahaha 4… how in the world does it snap it 4 spots LOL…

I red greened that shit… and here we are. It’s now a F’d up science experiment

[Hashtree]

Mine is putting on some growth. She’s been on 12/12 for a week.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you @Mongobongo! That is some high stress training! She’s going to be one tough lady

[Mongobongo]

Can I use a back up or am I out ? Lol

[ttutone]

I’m bummed for you. She was so pretty.
Unfortunately since she broke in half completely in four different places I doubt she’ll make it. I hope I’m wrong.
Use your backup.

[Mongobongo]

You are correct she is DAF. Dead as fuck hahahh

[GMan]

Bummer. I had a flowering plant in a 2 gallon pot blow off of the wall it was sitting on a couple of days ago. It broke in about 4-5 places. I had to take it a little early, but not bad.

Sorry to see. I drop stuff a lot. And I move things around a lot. I think one is because of the other. heh

[Olbrannon]

I took 3 clones recently…over the last couple days everyone of them has been dropped…careful out there.

Clone is hitting it’s stride I’ll get a pic up later.
