Rainbow Belts 3.0 local clones

[RookieBuds]

What’s up OGers!

OKAY, so, Rainbow Belts clones popped up in my area again, and I swore that I’d get them if that happened.

I noticed they were listed as #3 and not 3.0, does this mean they’re a #3 pheno selection of the original 1.0? . --it was confirmed they are the new 3.0 strain

I was so excited, I didn’t even take pictures of them upon delivery (my Dad went and grabbed them for me) I just took pics after transplant

AND AWAY WE GO!

*I would absolutely love to do my first try at reversing a plant on one of these. Some feminized RB 3.0 seeds would be righteous I’m gona flower out at least one of these first before I decide on that.

[sardinebags]

That’s an amazing score

[Pakore]

Sounds exciting! Good luck with your project

[PatHealy]

Nice score!! One I’d love to have and especially at $16.80 a piece. Haha Best of luck with them!!

[Bobbles420]

Yea $16.80 is a steal on them hope they turn out great for ya!

[StrongerthanDirt]

Hope you do a journal here. Be great to see what 3.0 vs #3 is if different

[RookieBuds]

Already had to top the clones and kept the tops as “fridge cuts” to root later.

[Dev-O]

RB 3.0 is definitely one of those strains worth locking down.

[RookieBuds]

Really happy with the overall health and vigor of these clones they’re still doing very well despite less than ideal conditions, humidity in the 2x2 is usually around 40-45% kinda low, and temps lights-on are like 75°ish, still good but it slows growth progress a little bit

[splinter7]

maybe it’s super simple, but how does this fridge cuts stuff work?

anything different in procedure?
I use an aero cloner, but it would be nice top and keep for a week or two sometimes before running the cloner.

[PatHealy]

It’s pretty simple. Take some bigger cuts, you can wrap the ends in moist paper towel if you’d like, put them in a ziploc, seal them up, and toss them in the crisper. Just recut when you take them out to root.

[RookieBuds]

I actually keep my cuts dry, and periodically check the bag for moisture & cleanly wick it out with a clean paper towel

When it comes time to revive them, give the ends a fresh snip & soak in water for 12-24 hours before proceeding with chosen method of cloning.

@PatHealy @RookieBuds

do either you take that last snip above the node, or do you think it matters?

when recieving snips, i’ve been taking a fresh cut above the node. almost 100 pct success so far…across maybe like 20 snips.

[RookieBuds]

For fridge cuts, take cuts longer than they need to be, you gotta give the stem a fresh cut-end when getting ready for the revival process

[RookieBuds]

Oh here we go, I found some old pics illustrating my fridge cut revival process

After giving the stems a fresh snipped end, I soak them in plain tap water

If they aren’t fully perked up by 12 hours, they might not root. I still soak them like this for 12-24 hours.

[RookieBuds]

They’re a bit leggy, but nothing crazy. Still nice & healthy despite the higher than ideal VPD and lower than ideal RH%.

I was running a test on pH vs. non-pH medium when rooting clones, but i knocked over the non-pH one & ruined it these are both cups of coco with 6.1 pH water and a splash of cal mag in it, the ruined one was plain tap water @ about 7.6 pH

[RookieBuds]

Still just doin their thing

[RookieBuds]

Even though theyre a bit stretchy, the branches are nice and sturdy & the overall plant has a nice overall V shape to it

I recently got a pack of Hazeman’s new Rainbow Belts 2.0 F2 line. And I live within a few miles of Archive… But Fletch and team at Archive are pretty non-responsive now days. But some Archive lines like Dosi, Face-Off are quality imho. (which is why October this yr it will be time to take this Toyz F1 (Runtz X Face Off OG) and make an F2 of my own.

I hope your RB v3 S1s turn out excellent. (tipping_hat)

[RookieBuds]

Thanks man! Dude i’d love to maybe trade you any F2s you make of Archive gear for some of my Slurricane F2s made by me
