The few things I’ve heard about have been positive as far as I can recall so fingers crossed. The price was definitely right 
Good luck with it I’m definitely curious to see how you make out.

Started the quad on the CMFV yesterday and it hurt cause it was finally looking healthy and I chopped it down hard. Hopefully she reacts well and finds the f’n rez soon enough. Creamy Penny is still growing by the second.

Looks good bro
Rae your plants started directly into the octo-pups from rooted clone or a mature plant transplanted into ?
I find clones or seedlings find the reservoir quickly

They were seedlings in coffee cups that I transplanted into the pups.

Ok did the roots Circle at the bottom if so I know you know the break that up before you put them in otherwise I don’t understand why they didn’t hit the reservoir how long is it been

No they weren’t in the cup long enough to circle. It’s just a slow grower in general. Today is 14 days since it went into the pup pot.

Try’s product called rhizotonic it’s for root development it’s the shit !
It’s a bit expensive but I only use it when the plants are being up potted or newly established seedling &clones
It’s some magic in a bottle Healthy route should make for a healthy plant in big ass buds
Ps what does CMFV stand for clothed male female verify

I can’t imagine I won’t see roots in the water in the next few days but I’ll look into it for future grows.

Fairly sure Rhizotonic is kelp extract (containing the oligosaccharides they mention on the label, high levels of vitamin B, and a host of micronutrients) and IBA rooting powder/gel mixed together… you’re probably paying 50% extra for having them mix it together for you and the brand name. 
Dunno, they might be extracting the IBA and salicylic acid from willow bark themselves rather than just using someone else’s product, but either way that’s my guess from the ingredient list.
Keeping an eye on that CMFV, though @Slick1 is obviously still avoiding us all because he thinks we’re narcs… so I guess I’d have to grow my own to taste it. 
Maybe I’ll have space by like, mid-next year?

I just checked and I have some thick white roots into the hydroton on the CMFV. I filled the rez to the brim so the tips of those roots are fully submerged so now we wait. Creamy Penny has drank 2/3 of her water so when I get home today she’ll get her first feeding with Lotus Grow.

I’m very interested to see how you do @Slick1 .
We all know you will do a good job. I’ve never seen anything bad that you produce. You know what I mean. I’m not talking about the time you tried to play Dr… lol

I went from like 3 thick roots coming into contact with the water when I posted that to a few thinner ones that are probably 9" long already. Very happy to see that!
Thanks man I appreciate it! And we don’t talk about that Dr thing anymore, at least until the lawsuit settles…

Well I went to train the Creamy Penny last night and snapped one branch of the quadline almost completely off. I electrical taped it but I’m not sure if it’ll make it. Might end up with a triline.
