Mel franks GDP run

Really?!? My intention is to find a keeper of several different strains so I can always have a variety of my favorites. Plus great to have clones to fill gaps from culled males in the new batch of seed plants. When I start to make seeds, I’m collecting pollen in a separate room and keeping bonsai clones of select males. I’m going to need a few more tents lol.

Yeah I would clone and keep it around solely because it’s from Mel Frank, going to be hard pressed to pick up those genetics again. But from the looks of it, I’d clone them even if they weren’t from Mel :sweat_smile:

I had good luck taking a clone from a seeded girl 8 weeks into flower. Just snipped the cola and enough stem off a side branch to stick it in an aerocloner for about 6 weeks before it finally put out roots. Transferred her to a solo cup and it’s chugging along with a ton of new reveg branches from the original bud. Couple days from first real leaves coming in. You may be able to do the same :+1:

Deffinetly take clones gotta preserve those mothers just incase. I litterally just stick stems in promix and put a large zip lock bag over and spray it periodically. Works surprisingly well.

That’s awesome to hear. Now to build a cloner or buy a cloner is the question, I’ve even seen aloe used, haha the motivation I needed to start another project! I really just haven’t ever had the need or want, variety is the spice of life, and natures cycles are like the wind, they may feel the same but they are not the same. Lol I just have a yearning for more of this girl I can feel it.

The gdp I had was not legit as I suspected , zero purple and zero gdp smell or taste , hope somebody else is able to find and preserve a good gdp.

Cloner?!? I’ve never used one lol. Had better results than my buddy that did.
Do you have a good sized plastic jar or container and peat/coco plugs, Or even rock wool?

My hope was with making more seeds, but perhaps I’ve found my first mother plant, my guess Is I should throw her back in the veg side and start taking clones, although I’ve been curious on regreening the plant after harvest. We shall see where my motivations take me

I’ve got grodan cubes and plastic jars. And that seems like a pretty slick idea when it comes to work with what you have. I am starting to see that’s actually something I could do and not over think it. As I’ve spent a hour on amazon looking at cloners.

I know the legit clone was still around about 12 years ago , if anybody gets there hands on her I have some cherry pie x candyland seeds I’d donate for a backcross I’m going to focus on landraces and my kush obsession

Except don’t give them as much light as I did in that pic, those took too long to root and ended up yellowing

I see it on the clone conservatory… course I have no idea about legitimately. But I’m browsing it right now :smiling_imp:

They seem to have alot of elites listed , it’s not one that is faked as often as others so maybe but who knows. Should be a super compact short plant with dark purple nugs and green leaves.

So I took the grodan cubes, soil balance pro, and clonex. I have 6 gdp cuttings 4 midnight frost, 2 fruity kush and 3 old time moonshine. Be my first go. Using a humidity dome and the tray I use for the 36 pot seed starter. Let’s see how this goes.

And to clarify I used the soil balance as a soak and the clonex for dip.

Nice, that will work. Just mist the cover once and leave it. As long as there’s condensation on the sides, it will be humid enough. The key is to not leave them too wet, or give too much light. Keep them warm.

Rock on. I may have gone a little over board with the water. So I won’t be spraying for a while then. I kinda wasn’t sure and soaked the cubes. Sprayed the plants. Not a puddle but I wet things down. I made sure to cut all the leaves so it would want to root instead of shoot. These are taken from early flower also and some of the cuts seem less than ideal. But I followed what I’ve read in Robert Connell Clark’s the propagation and breeding of distinctive cannabis. And in that he uses a wet paper towel and soil. So I’m curious with all these “boosters” what the outcome Is

Don’t spray the plant, unless there is food in it like a foliar feed just spray the plastic.

I sprayed them down, opppa, and it was with water and the soil balance pro. Won’t do it again after this. I did look this morning and things are looking good.
