buckets, ol buddy. I use nothing but the big box stuff... 5 bucks for the bottle and it lasts just as long as clones and always worked better for me to boot... Bonide I believe it's called. Cheap rooting powder...

Shitty shot I took the other day while deleafing room 2. 10x10 room 12 plants all laced up with trellising... who needs aisles when you got midgets working for ya? 6ft canopy double trellised... Starting to fill in now thankfully, was worried I'd have to wrangle more trellis on top

All glue in this shot... Have some other cuts testing out in the corner not pictured...

Some of the lower leaves got a lil burnt up right before they got trained and flipped, due to my crazy dayjob schedule not allowing me to fill up rez for damn near a week, and letting coco get bone dry... Bounced back within a week and we started rolling em out...

rooms looking thick and bushy... classic early era porn.. :biggrin:

How're the roots looking on that lady?

AL, If that ? was about my TT......not rootbound for sure, they seemed to healthy when I up potted. Have some sticking out on one side of the smart pot...not so much on the other so maybe didn't fill out all the way. I take a little skewer and poke it thru the soil in places to help aerate.

Everyone have a great holiday week :tiphat:

buckets,

ive found that in the first 3 days as roots start to develop the clones are sensitive to shaking or any heavy movement around the stem so i bottom feed my clones.

also, i cut much of the leafs back to reduce photosynthesis b/c photosynthesis requires h2o and with no roots the more leaf surface will require misting or humidity dome and i just tuck my cuts under a larger plant...in the shade.

the colder the temps the slower they root so ill use a heat mat thru the winter.


peace

that's the stuff right there. Harder to root stuff seemed to root for me real easy when I used this stuff. A little foliar action is all that is needed. I had their free sample pack. now their free sample pack is $13.

every time I've ever used a humidity dome I've ended up with mush. I thought it might be because we're in Florida and it pretty much stays humid, we're at 89-90% humidity right now.


Shifting gears... http://www.regulateflorida.com/ <<<--- this is what we want right??? the right to grow and to regulate cannabis like alcohol. this and the Morgan one are the only two approved for signature collections.

"The mission of Sensible Florida is to create a practical and enforceable framework for adult use of marijuana. Through a program of regulation and education, we will limit access to minors, prevent abuse and curtail driving while impaired. We will enable the creation of jobs and allow consenting and informed adults to choose to use cannabis responsibly rather than be labeled as criminals. while reducing the use of limited law enforcement resources.""After Colorado voters approved the responsible use of cannabis by adults in the 2012 election (Amendment 64) their state's tourism sharply increased, under age usage of marijuana went down, the economy grew significantly stronger, and the crime rate decreased.

So what are we waiting for?"


This is the one I was waiting for. I'm getting behind this Bill as much as I can. "State tourism increased sharply" they know how to get our lawmakers attention. Tourism in Florida is like Peanuts in GA.

As much as I agree with that proposal I just don't see getting that one past the voters with enough support for a constitutional amendment. Would be easier to get the legislature to implement recreational. We still have way too many early generation baby boomers that believe the old propaganda. They are willing to accept medical but don't think recreational will fly with them.

for clarification on my clones, i scrape the outer layer off the bottom 1/4" of the stem and thats why my clones are sensitive to movement in the first 3 days.

Buckets that looks great. Check those bags of 'tones though buddy, I'm sure they have blood and bone meal already in them.

PNUT, I think we also need a quality compost company like Malibu or Coast of Maine here in FL too. I bet blue crab shells and redfish carcasses would make some excellent compost.

on a side note:
please be careful with rock dusts that are sourced outside of the horticulture industry... like granite counter tops or headstone engravers... the coolant/lubricant that is sometimes used for cutting those rocks is nasty stuff deffo do not want in dirt close to plants.

Last time I made granite dust I bought a bag of little granite rocks from Home Depot and a sledge hammer. I recommend safety glasses and a dust mask if going this route.
