^^^ agreed, I dont remember HK being that hard.. Obviously, I was able to root cuts or none would have it.

Say I was kind of shocked in the least when he showed up with clones after all that time

There is nothing special to how I clone…I’ve got a low profile ezclone 128 site…and after every cloning session I break the cloner down to clean and sanitize every nook and cranny…which is a good afternoons worth of work!!! I put in as many cuttings as I can and hope for about 75% rooting…usually I put in about a dozen cuttings of HK and maybe get close to 50% return…she definitely is a bitch to clone…always behind everything else in the cloner…once in a while I get an early rooter…and as fate would have it I lost my HK mother plant…due to negligence…I do have her outdoors and looking great…I have a few other monsters OD that I need to take cuttings from…so I’m gonna have 2 cloning sessions real soon one for OD and one for ID…fingers and toes crossed that I will bring HK back to an ID mom…to join all the rest of my prized moms…I will keep y’all in the loop
I have always heard that putting a mother plant outdoors will help rejuvenate them….not sure if that is true but if so you should be golden.

I didn’t explain myself well I guess…the HK that is outdoors now was a clone from the mother plant I lost
My terrible looking Cheisels took off and look spectacular outside. I took clones and put a few branches of the Cheese n Sour male in some water. It looked as if the Cheisels wouldn't be ready enough to receive the pollen. Now I can just pollinate when they start to flower.
I took a bunch from the Tropic Drivers and C&S females too. I might be able to get 99% of my strains back
The veg area is starting to fill again, and soon I will be back into production

Gotcha drumz, I tend to misunderstand things
I don't do much differently. I use a clonex solution with 5ml of clear rez with a 5.8/6 ph. I clean often and change the solution every 7 days normally .. Since I just cleaned it I changed the solution every 3 days so its now on a 3rd solution change. It's def not a cloner issue. My other snips are rooting fine.. I think the plant has become used to how it was cloned/grown. In my garden, it's gonna take time for it to get used to a completely different environment. The oldest snips are still alive with no stem rot yet. I'll leave them be until roots show up or they die off..

I also use clear rez and Flying Skulls Z7 enzyme cleaner faithfully once a week in cloner...also I dip my cuttings in ezclone rooting gel...I use a mixture of 75% RO water to 25% tap water...my tap water is pretty alkaline around 8.0 to 8.5 ph or around 350 ppm so I then apply some AN ph down to bring ph to about 5.5...ph will rise a little but usually levels out around 6.0...who knows maybe the alkalinity of my water is a factor on finicky Miss HK...we'll see what my outdoor life does to her to get new clones...I've enjoyed her outdoor bouquet for the last 3 years...plus that almost doughy smell oudoors is almost as intense as indoors
mornin campers...hopefully it's new wheel day...for sure it's work in the garden day,and possibly do a little more trimming day...and trash day,gotta pack as many bags of rootballs as possible into the can and roll it out to the curb...almost have them all gone....actually i should wash pots today,got a big stack to get through and it's about time to up-pot the trop cherry and get them ready to be flowered...
Well water is good for rooting. I dont use any dip stuff it just gets rinsed off in the cloner. Tap is pretty much all the same chlorinated water.
i make my own water by smashing hydrogen and oxygen atoms together
Okay...........
tollhouse recipe,i use one cup of white hydrogen and one cup of brown hydrogen
troll house maybe....
HK @ roughly 3 weeks ??? Maybe 3 & 1/2 weeks
alrighty...new wheels all set up....so shiny...so shiny

You can't let go and you can't hold on,
You can't go back and you can't stand still,

Holy bat shit hell. 95 degrees and 70% humidity. I only was able to drink 2.5 gallons today so way dehydrated.
Swung trusses today. The driver was 2.5 hours late. The guys before us took 7 hours to set their trusses. We had 1/3 the people and finished in 3 hours. They had 7 people we had two for most of the time.
Plus we where twice their age. The crane operator was impressed. Said he should of done us first.
Time for salty foods and half the world's fresh water supply.
