I'm on the edge. Of what I'm not sure.

Cloning in coco is just like using rockwool plugs....its all about the moisture content. Its a goldilocks thing... not too wet, not too dry, not too cold/warm.


:2cents: For coco....hydrate and then squeeze out to sponge like dampness, stab clones and leave alone for a few days.....give the bottoms of the cups a little dip if they are getting dry. **I soak my fresh cuts overnight in cups of water before they go into coco/rw....it gets them fully turgid....no droop/wilt w/ no dome.** :2cents:

The very best of luck with your new ward, my wife and I do not have children, but it gives us the chance to spoil our nieces and nephews while still being able to leave them with their natural parents when we want some peace. You've got this. :comfort:

Its been raining all day...So me and M&M were teaching two little girls about music.. after they took there placement test for school... A little bit of Marley a bit of this and a bit of that... And of coarse a whole lot of rock and country... Well Cruse came on by Florida Georgia line... And now the girls can dance... M&M got it on her dive camera.... I'm telling ya.... Life is good when you can dance like no one is watching... And not give a dam if they were watching.... What an amaing journey were on... Me and my Little Dove... That's the good stuff... Night everyone...:biggrin:

Well Me and M&M are at the dock today cleaning out the boat.... The Owner sold it about two weeks ago I cant believe how much gear we had stored in it....Seeing all of our gear piled up on the dock is a sad sight.... We have some good times on that boat....Many days in the sun without a care in the world.... Not to mention its the boat that got me back to the beach just in the nick of time... I'll miss it... We took it out this morning to burn off some fuel so it could be trailered to P Cola.....
So like so many new beginnings of late for me.... Our new Boat has just pulled into the Marina...We are calling her FATHOM... Its bigger faster and has a fantastic range better Navigational Systems and Autopilot... the Freeman Boats aren't fancy just bad ass machines...
Sitting here with my toes in the water watching the girls throwing croutons up as high as they can in the air for the seagulls to catch and playing in the Bay, something occurred to me.... That flashy new boat doesn't mean a DAMN thing to me... All i want to do is Get our gear stowed, Get the test run done, load our clients and their gear get these two dives done and get my ass home so i can cook dinner with my Little Dove.... It's just odd me thinking that way... Just a short while ago I lived for time on the water this was going to be such a big deal.... The New boat and all that.... WOOT WOOT YAY.... But honestly im sitting here thinking " would yall put the boat in the fucking water already and quit fucking around".... It just doesn't matter... My Little Dove cant make the dives with me yet so i just want to get it over with.... Prospective it's a real BITCH

from our conversation yesterday about topping young for 4 or 5 main branches , these are the thin mints . they were 2 weeks in beer cups & thats when i do all the topping . so when i put them in the 3 gallons i can let them grow out a bit to see how they'll branch .... & if they'll need more topping during the veg . but i try to be done with any topping or training at least a week before they go into flower so all the stress is over by then .
most plants that i run branch pretty good on their own , so the young topping for 4 to 5 main branches is enough . i might have to top them once more before flower , but that usually it .

these are the thin mints , 2 weeks in cups & 5 days so far in the 3 gallon pots , they have another 3 to 4 weeks before they can go into flower . so about 6 weeks total from fresh rooted clone to flower . 2 weeks in cups & a month in veg .

Alot of that has to do with the clients we had today.... Not the kind of people I like to be around.... they always demand that we take them out and they would just as quick jump into grab ass mode as dive... And there shitty divers... They think a fat bankroll means they can treat people like crap and get away with it.... wasn't to happy about spending a few hours waiting on the boat with those four ass hats... It is a nice Boat though still think it's overkill for our needs but what the hell... We dont pay for it just operate it... We were both in Bitch mode...They got that point as we approached the pass... another boat full of young girls was alongside about 30 yards to port those four dicks were being totally inappropriate trying to get some attention...with our the kids on the boat... M&M looked over at me and i said you guys should sit down and hold on.... they acted like they didn't hear me... i looked over at her and she said ... oh shit I'll go strap the girls in and tell them to hold.....Just outside the pass she sat down next to me and gave me a wink.... I slammed the throttle and all four of them rolled and tumbled 35 feet... From the Bow to the Stern and were pinned there until we got to the first dive sight... they got the point and had much improved attitudes from that point on... we have had the conversation about acting like that with the two of us for the last four years.... Back at the dock they tipped each of us $500 and our assistant 200... I could hear the girls and our Assistant Instructor Casey laughing over the roar of the engines as they tumbled by...Those 7 Marine engines are something else I'll tell ya... Needless to say they WILL NOT BE BOOKING WITH US AGAIN. Seriously what kind of idiot acts that way with kids around?

I have a great passion for diving... I love it and it's a part of me not to mention good for the back and shoulders... but now there are a few other things that are more important... like a cute little girl with a smile on her face, our dogs and the other thing is getting back in the green and staying there... Diving just can't be my epicenter... My everything... If i'm going to be a good MoM... I'll have to change a lot of things but its so worth while...

How long are they in the cloner, 2 or 3 weeks? And how long does it take for them once put in beer cups to turn from rooting to vegging

aspen pretty much answered that for you . usualy 2 weeks in the cloner , then into beer cups to veg , they continue to root & grow in the cups from the minute you put them in there .
