welcome to the rabbit burrow!

[wildgrow]

The cuts don't look that bad. Im concerned that there isn't enough greenery left on them - ie. don't take cuts on an empty bunny belly. The cut needs the energy/nutes the leaves contain to survive until they put some root down.

I expect the bottom leaves to die off while they root. I could have trimmed those leaves back, but I tend to do that only if theyre long. How wet is the medium? It needs to be very wet to start off (think cut flowers in a vase). You can use more medium if youre worried about them being too wet for too long. In my case, I always have a res of water in the tray. The plugs are very good at sucking up water. If I didn't keep them wet enough, I believe they would suck the moisture right from the cut killing it.

Veg is cold too? Another pc fan next to the reflector blowing the warm air down and away from the exhaust fan might help you there.

I bet they will root. just give em time. looken good.

maybe just add something like this

I use it and it does wonders for veg state...

Not really anything for flower though...

hi folks!

thanks for all your advice
i sure hope they do root and intend to give them a chance. let's just wait a little more.

meanwhile, the last update before chop.

12/12 day 75:

looking good. im having trouble rooting clones this time of year too! i think the colder temps play a big part!

 

[biglow]

nice foxtail buds! your grow/setup is amazing!

i guess im not alone having problem rooting my clones

And I thought youd have to nibble them all off at screen level. How hard was that? I can imagine how good it smelled.

 

[NKOTS]

lol, indeed it was like a symphony to rabbit olfactory :]

i also was quite surprised to see all those buds below the screen once i removed it. expected tiny popcorn but there was like a second jungle! added up maybe 10 to 15% to the yield.

Nice Nuggage...

 

[NKOTS]

^^ lol at roger! :]

peace out!

 

[exploziv]

Looking very good, furry friend!

 

[Womyn]

The buds look tasty!
nice round

 

[NKOTS]

and to finish the fresh bud porn:



here are all the above-scrog-buds in the drying box i made for the purpose.
finally ca. 40 little nuggets. if each of them makes on average 2g i will beat the 1st run!

the rest (below-the-scrog-buds) are hanged elsewhere...



thanks for all visits and kind comments, folks


PS stay tuned.... ;]

[biglow]

[NKOTS]

hi folks!

thanks again for all your comments and words of encouragement! let me share my next project :]


RUN #3

this is going to be a coco hempy micro sog!

i found these milk opaque containers very handy:



i cut them in half (0.7 Litre remaining) and tried to install an auto-feeding tube. fits in quite well :]



next i did the same with 11 other containers, made a drainage hole and installed the auto-feeding ring. you can notice the inlet marked with red arrow:



then threw some lava rocks at the bottom (my perlite particles are too small and would wash out through drainage holes):



next filled containers up with coco:



almost ready to throw some clones in.....

 

[NKOTS]

... however test revealed inefficiency in water pressure and i needed to install extra drippers to make sure enough water gets into every hempy bucket:



last construction step was to provide drainage for the whole set of containers:



and then... ...plant the clones in their new hempy buckets:



as you may notice, some clones look quite poor. i hope they get through that. otherwise i will need to replace them:

 

[NKOTS]

in some cases i needed to do some bending to keep all of the clones at similar level:



and lastly, not all of the clones are fully established (i.e. rooted) so they still need humidity caps as protection:



fingers crossed for all of them to root successfully and...

...with the veg we go!


hope you like the idea?

Awesome design my friend! Big ups to you and lovin the look of the buds from that last round. Good luck with this next round, looks like you have things well under control.
