I broke a main stem the other day as well (super cropping)
Tape works wonders And as long as it did not completely broken in two it will live
We all need to be doctors from time to time

Super cropping is a great way to increase yield as well as managing hight my damn ladies are hitting the light and need some plant bondage lol I Also have a whip :face_with_hand_over_mouth:to keep them in line just kidding
Keep it green

Hey Papa
Lmao it comes with the territory.I had the twist tie and allen keys right by me.Yeah tape works too.I like the splint as she can still blow in the fan wind.

Once my plants sex and i can remove males,then i will go into serious bondage mode.Have a great green day bro and thanks for popping by

Ghetto Stoner Innovation 3 coming to you soon,sometime today lol.

Todays Stoner innovation is a diy areocloner and humidome cost was $22.00 for the pump,airstones,tubing and splitter. I had the rubbermaid containers and poly plastic.Can get both at a dollar store for around $3 total.So 25 dollars and you got yourself an aerocloner.Just waiting for lights on and i can take cuttings for the final steps.Next up in our installments of ghetto stoner innovation.Homade aeropnic tub for rooting cuttings.

All you Need, 1 rubbermaid container I am using a 10.7in w x 16in l x 7in d thats what i had in closet. . 1 aquarium air pump .10ft of tubing. 1 tube line splitter. 2 airstones.
Humidome is optional.For humidome 2 plastic coated metal hangers and a 4ft x 4ft piece of poly.

With the lid on container. Make lines of round holes in the lid, i made 4 rows of 5 holes.I used a boning knife to make the holes,3/4in or 1in drill bit would work to.I Stuck the point in and started turning the knife in a circle and applying pressure till i got to the end of the blade.



Make all your holes then turn lid over and clean off holes


Put lid back on and make 2 holes in the center of the handles on the lip of the container and make a hole in one corner of the lid for an air line.

Next bend and open the hook of the coat hangers and stretch them open a bit

Next i took 10 feet of tubing and cut off a 6in piece and cut the rest of the length in half.

Next attach the 6in piece of tubing to air pump and splitter and the to other lengths to splitter.

Next i put one tube thru the top of lid in corner hole and 1 tube thru top of lid in a middle hole and attached the big air stone to the middle tube and the smaller stone to corner tube.
Then fill your tub and put lid on.Turn air pump on.Then put coat hangers in the holes by the handles.Add clones and cover with poly.You have yourself a aerocloner with humidome.



And there you have it,quick simple and cheap…You can also use a bit of aquarium safe clear silicone to set the tube to bottom of tub,or a thoroughly washed rock.I let my air stones hang freely and agitate the surface for more splash effect.

Hey @randrobertson522

Thanks for popping by,they are slightly thinner than the fabric grow pots I have , i doubled it up so 50cents to make a 5gal fabric grow bag or 70cents to double up a 10gal fabric bag.Paid like $1.30ea for 20 1gal fabric pot or$26.00 where as its $10 to make 20 doubled up 5gal pots and $14 for 20 doubled up 10gals…Huge cost difference.The brand of fabric pots i bought wants $165 for 20 5gal pots $217 for 20 7gal pots…Also i get the big clear plastic bags Tim Hortons gives out .The 5gal grow bags fit perfect inside them.For the first soil wetting i had the clear bag right up.And put a few holes in the bag about mid way to let air in,and the bag caught the water running out and that night the bag wicked it up.Then i roll the clear bag down and let the bag breath.Because those are new sprouts and autos.I put the plastic bag back up for in the sunshine and wind so the bag will not dry out as i do not want to water the new sprouts much.I want them roots going down,when i bring them back in under the light, i will roll the plastic bags down.So far its working perfect for me.

All 8 strains are 27 days from seed soak, all exhibiting great growth patterns.8 more days of veg and I am going to flip them.Need to identify the males and move them out, so the ladies can have all the light and space to spread themselves wide open with bondage help ofcourse.

Hey Papa

79 mowie wowie x Cherry bomb came from Sebring .I have to look for the post where he mentioned its lineage.Its a great strain to grow so far.Very hearty plants the 6 that i started.

@Papalag this is from Sebring he posted on another thread to give me the breakdown

^All of this^
Anyone that has currently received MW-CB seeds from me, has my F4 seeds. They are a lot more stable in structure than the F1* I received. Because MrGreenGenes inbred it for years, and then VerdantGreen ran it, which led to another F generation and finally to my hands, I can’t say exactly how inbred it is; For simplicity sake I’m using F1* so we remember that it’s way more inbred than I’ve made it. The seeds I’ll be giving out this winter will be F5 selections.
I still have a small number of seeds from F1, F2, F3 & F4 generations that exist incase I f*ck up and have to go backwards. There’s no sugar coating it, but sometimes a new F generation isn’t as good as it’s parents

Tuesday update day

Cuttings are lush,green and happy in the ghetto homemade aerocloner.
The front 4 cuttings are the RugburnOG real dark green plant with 3 finger leaves.The back 6 cuttings are from 2 SourTangie plants,more of an emerald green and very lush

3finger leaf of the RugburnOG

The cutting are in a 1/4 strength gro-tek pro-silicate and 1/4 strength phytophlankton mix with 6.5ph water for the 3rd day from taking the cuttings.

When rooted I will put the best 2 of 4 RugburnOG in fabric pots to keep as moms and the best 2 of 6 SourTangie.The rest will go in poly bags and be put to flower.

Will do a garden update when lights come on in an hour.Excited to see how they filled the tent again after a good rest.

The 2 N.L autos from gpaw, 1 is going well and sadly the 2nd one is struggling as when i went to remove the humid jar over it,it picked up the soil and seedling,pretty sure i ripped the taproot,buried back in the soil and see what happens.

Wow, cuttings looking good! I have always cut leaves in half to reduce transpiration, but yours are looking great as is.

How are you bro and thanks for stopping by.Not really getting any transpiring even under the poly dome i made over the aerocloner.I am really happy with how everything is performing.I have a 2nd tote the same size,so i am going to make a 2nd aerocloner as i will need it for cuttings for the 8 strains going in the tent.Yet with the amount of plants i have going I think i will be making a 3rd and larger aerocloner 5 times the size of the 2gal ones i have now.

I’m doing fairly well all things considered. Finally getting my own tent competed so I can start flowering my first set. My late friend that I use to grow with used aero cloners, I just never got around to using them. I had better success rate than him, so I never changed lol.

Glad your doing well.I am old school like that,if it works for you why change it…The enviroment living in an apartment is the exact opposite of what the basement in my house was,so i have been experimenting more to find what works optimal now.

So the one N.L auto is starting to slowly grow,expect it to ramp up soon.


The 2 SourTangie i took cuttings from.Lots of new growth

The 2 RugburnOG,these love to bush out after taking cuttings


Overhead view of the 28day from seed soak



The 2nd batch of seeds i started these will be moved to the veg stand for 2wks


Full length over view and plant hieght view of the tent,what a lovely view




And the best view for last i have been waiting for.The plants started from seed soak 28days ago now have alternating branching started


So tonight i will move out the 2nd batch of seedlings and the auto N.L to the veg cab and tomorrow will flip the tent to 12/12.upon showing sex males will be removed to another closet and cuttings will be taken of the females.Cannot wait to make some inline seed runs of the great genetics growing and a few crosses of them,along with the autos i will be starting soon.
