I understand that mold, mildew is a byproduct of soil that is to wet, but I think I had some other things going on to help it along. The humidity in my area is very low, so I am trying rooting in water to keep them from drying out, and to avoid having to mist them down with water. This is all trial and error, as I have never tried cloning beforeif your getting mold it's to wet,,,,,,to the contrary of the ones before me i clone with sizzors and then put the cutting in my mouth and chew gently on the stem ,,,,,into the rooting powder then into damp but not wet rockwool cube,,,,,,under the dome with a piece of screen for sun block,,,,,most make it

I am still trying to find my perfect sauce, but came pretty close on this one. My smoker is an old 60's double grill. I just cut out part of the partition out that divides each grill so that I can have my wood on the other side so I just get heat, and smoke. I added a chimney to the meat side to get a nice flow of smoke. It works great, and didn't cost me a penny. (it was a grill that someone was throwing away. My sauce for the tri-tip was spicy mustard, molasses, honey, apple wood seasoning, fresh ground course pepper, and a little porterhouse seasoning. It was smoked with Oak, and Almond wood. WAS VERY YUMMY
Just read that 'smokin" post and can't stop looking at that roast. When I get my smoker moved here, we'll have to exchange some sauce recipes. If I ever find mine.
I am thinking of getting small propane or electric smoker. The lid on mine, was too heavy to lift, at times. Particularly, after many hours!
The cops here don't seem to care too much about plants and individual patients. They are focused on the drug dealers, or anyone that appears to, be one. Colllectives...oddly, delivery services haven't come under fire! :Steak: pr

What I see is a couple of thick (almost as big around as a metal coat hanger) nubs about 3/16" long. Should they go in solo cups now, or should I get a lil more roots first? I am using FFOF soil. Some say it is too hot for clones. Any opinion?When you start showing definite roots on a clone, go ahead and transplant them into a Solo cup and let them start developing a root structure.

Thanks Blue. You people on this site kick ass. I have encountered NOTHIN BUT educated help without the BS that seem to be all over other places.Once they put out a few tiny roots you will see new growth happening at the top of the clone.Easy way to tell if they have rooted.
I have alway's used FFOF for my clones and its never been to hot. Best of luck.
Peace,
Blue

Thanks PL, It seems like it should be such an easy thing. A old friend of mine just cuts them, sticks them in some undesirable soil, waters them, and they grow. 90% or better success rate. The water with b-1 and super thrive in it, plus rooting hormone seems to be the ticket. It has been a week since I cut them, and they all look as good as the day I cut them. Here is a couple of pics from today.hey tre! if its any consolation I'm still having about a 2% success rate at cloning... and after 6 grows I just keep watching them keel over or yup the frothy mold shows up. My problem was a few issues and I just need to fix the issues and one day this will be routine (or so I hear lol) but we all have different ways that will eventually work and I can't wait to hear how the water cloning goes for you!

so are you enjoying the LST? its alot of work for sure but I know I've seen the benefits of more bud sites and less height... did it on a Dairy Queen and had great results regardless of how I was approaching the plant... she just kinda begged to be opened up. I learned alot on that grow and it sounds like your girls are bushing up great for you! got pics of the bondage now? keep it coming!

So far I can say that I wish I had LSTed before. But the end result will tell the tail. I grew UK cheese last grow and let her grow all natural. I got just over 2 z's of some dried killer meds. Ya, it is a ton of work daily. My wife gets mad because I spend so much time playing with my girls. I know what you meen by she just kinda begged to be opened up. The more I spread them out, the more they say thank you. UGGGG, I copied and pasted, now I am purple, again, UGGGG I say. I do think that I am learning more about the plant on this grow than I ever have before. I love it. Here are some pics I just took, they are all overflowing the containers except for the SKYWALKER. She is beautiful, slow and steady. I think she has the most perfect looking leaves out of all of her neighbors .Hey tre,

I'm far from a pro lol, and I wish I could "see" better but my sight is not the best! I did the lst on my 2nd grow, that was prob 4 grows ago, it was a great experience and know it boosted my yield especially on the bushy DQ. KD had helped me learn and try the method and am glad I tried it., but I totally hear how your wife feels lmao... I would spend literally hours with the girls just bending and such. I just started by trying to go around the rim of the planter (holes all around the top) and attempt to go in a circle, something I learned I lost control of along the way for sure! but if you go into that grow I had you will learn a heck of alot, KD had given me multiple links and hints on things. I hope it can be of some help.
I think eventually regardless, if you have a "bush" even with lst its going to get hard to eventually see into the center of the plant imho but i could be wrong! its a labor of love for sure, just was too much work for this body to see doing again lol.
you'll be rewarded by doing it, no doubt about it, and as long as you have good airflow and extra fans, you shouldn't have a problem.
enjoy the garden & have Fun!!

how is the lst going for you? the girls I have going right now, would've benefited from lst but they are too rigid to even bend, so instead I'm repeatedly topping them (in veg) but i had a nice surprise today and one of the tops I had put in rooting powder and a cup of water has rooted (and trust me I had ignored the poor thing repeatedly), so I'll be putting my first "clone top" into the coco tomorrow

The LSTing that I did is crazy. I am in there every day finding branches that have been hidden and need to be brought out to the light. I believe that my yield will be over twice of what it would have been if I didnt LST. I am judging from my last grow that was uk cheese. Here are some pics from today, DAY 34 of 56, 60 and 70 floweringhey tre,
