Damnnn!!! I haven't heard of a strain taking that long before to clone before that's insane. What's your cloning method? That phenol you have a lot of small space growers would love to have. Glad you get what you want from her. HSO puts out fire in their beans!!! I think imam grab a few of their new strains 707 Headband, Ewe-2 and maybe the Master Kush. They all look like fire!!
I was tempted to get in on the attitude August promo, but I got enough beans a nice master kush is tempting as fuck though :)

Honestly I didn't care about them :) I just threw a clone in a cup of dirt. I didn't think these were going to root after a couple weeks but I just left them to do their thing I didn't really worry too much about them, they turned yellow, they turned red, they turned purple (edges of the lowest leaves turned only) they rooted and boom added some EWC last watering and they are greening up and got lots of obvious new growth. From now on I will be doing 50%EWC 50% cheap soil mix. Last time they took about 3 weeks to root off the seed plant taken lower on the plant, these were very woody when I took the clones so that's probably why.

I will be looking for a new pheno in my last 2 EmDog seeds, this one only frosts up on the calyx, very little on the leaves and I like to make hash with my trim :) I've seen some shots of amazing frosty EmDogs.

According to my notes I took clones on 6/26 and I didn't notice roots until about a week and a half ago.

2 seeds just hit the water.

Hopefully they are females or I'm over 50% male from this pack of $120 seeds.
Hey if you get 1 good female out of that pack it'd be worth it - especially if it turns out like anything I've seen from GG. Haven't read the whole thread yet but subbed up.

So here's an update I guess, really nothing exciting just more seeds starting :) I transplanted them into my soil mix this evening to get them a bit of nutrition and see if they won't take off a bit faster. The second I can get clones off these Grape Stompers I will be putting the seed plant into flower. The males cloned in 3 days flat, which is really fast for me. So I don't think I'll have a problem cloning these suckers if all turns out well.

Clones are the EmDogs.

Did you clone the Stompers (male) the same way as your Emdog just straight into the soil? I'm tryna figure out what kinda medium imma run when I pop these reg seeds. It's gonna be soil or coco I'm just stumped on if I wanna go the organic route or stay with the synthetic with coco. I love the organic route as buds are tastier which I think I will go

IMHO there is no easier way to grow then organic, the part that takes the most effort out of the whole grow is mixing your soil 30 days before you start, I mix about 50-60 liters of soil at a time this lasts me all year, when one pot is done I chop out the root hub and dump the rest of the soil back in, I don't worry about smaller roots you just don't want a big root ball in there. IMHO There is also no better spot on this site to learn from folks without the standard trollings :) I have learned more from the organic section on this site then any other section :) All I throw out is the small root hub, no dirt gets tossed until it's run 2-3 times then it goes on flower beds outside.

I will try my best never to use Synthetics again especially after seeing that shit in Ohio caused by synthetic fert run off, I have tubs and tubs and jugs and jugs of synthetics probably like $200 in shit I've used for 1 cycle and hated it. The only plant burns I have had from organics is from my first tea feeding I used the wrong molasses and didn't bubble it long enough or check PH. Normally I'd say you don't have to check PH, but bubbling for under 24 hours I like to check it, and make sure it's not going to far one way or the other.

These Clones were done a bit different , 45 degree cut I shave down the stem a slight bit about an inch about the cut down to the cut soak in water for five minutes then straight in dirt. This time I mixed my dirt with 25/75 EWC and cheap soil mix. Watered it in with a couple globs of Wilsons Roots in 2liters of water. This is how I will be cloning from now on. It seems to be extremely effective. Like I said about the EmDog though they were taken at a much woodier stage then the Grape Stomper male. I'll try this method with another EmDog clone just to see how well it works, I think these last 2 clones will be my last run of EmDog.

I got the idea to add EWC to the clone cup from user @kgp who says he uses a mild nutrient solution from clonex, I think, to help his clones, EWC would provide this in an organic form.

The worst part of organics? How daunting it looks from the outside, trust me it's not. My first organic grow was my best grow up to that point. Each one just gets better and better.

I got guys here doing my roof while I write this, my goodness they are loud :) Sounds like a herd of angry elephants who really like to hammer.

EDIT: i lied worst part of organics is constantly having dirt all over my floor :) God transplanting makes a mess I need to get a tarp to do it on.

Wow that turned into a wall of text :)

I'll keep this one short, I'm going to try the same cloning method with Tranquil Elephantizer Remix and Blue Tara from Bodhi. I'll post results here.
I am about to try growing 'air roots', going to take a rooter cube, scrape a branch and dose with clonex, wrap the rooter around and let the clone root right on the mom, like making bonsai. Guys say it takes two weeks so sounds good to me. You ever heard of this method? Saw a video on Toutube, worked well enough.

I've heard that method is used for hardwood cloning. I read it works quite well for Cannabis never tried it myself though.

Yeah, it works. I've seen videos. It's called Air Layering, right?

I'd like to see two strains grafted together with this technique......

keep nu added variety still attached to its own root system until it takes to host cannabis plant.

I've done air-layering w ficus trees, works likes a charm. just haven't made time to experiment with mary jane as yet.

Yes that was the exact video, spot on :) I am just too curious to not try it. Push my luck and see how big you can root them this way.

My grandpa used to graft roses, and he made a tree grow both oranges and lemons. Weird thing is, it turned into a lime tree, bearing only limes after a few years. Straaaaange stuff lol

Man that video was awesome!!!!! I'm gonna def be using that. That's the perfect way to keep the same mother plant for a very long time without having a huge giant plant.

Hope everything is well with the new babies I'm def rooting for you to have some ladies this time. The only thing I hate about reg seeds but I'm thinking of going 12/12 from seed so I can sex them quicker.

One of these suckers has a heck of a smell. Super dank strong smell, no grapes, just stanky danky weed smell.

Almost like a bubbaish coffee type smell. She's,hopefully a girl :) , only 6 inches or so but the smell is very evident when I disturb it, I smell it over the flowering ladies that have been in flower for 4 weeks.

That's a good sign bro. Im hoping its a female for you too!!! Its crazy how some plants smell in veg more than in flowering. My Blue Dream is stinking like crazy in veg now. I can smell her right now and it straight Haze with hints of Blueberry

Sounds like Jo doing his thing, the ones that stink early are usually stanky terpene bombs, more skunk than I expected but damn is it a great smell. Don't think there will be any grape to her (I decided it is a girl lets see if that works lol) but she will be dank.

I just got a couple of Grape Stomper clones from a friend, I'll be watching to see how you do with them assuming you ever get a female... :\ Subbed.

Transplanted yesterday, put them into flower today, I didn't see pistils but the preflowers that were forming looked promising.

Putting them into flower cab I snapped two colas off my Em-Dog. I tried to tape and plant tie it up so it heals. Hopefully it works and it doesn't start wilting. I still got about 6-8 on the plant that are fine and I'm out of smoke so it's not the worst thing ever if the branches do have to come down.

Just a few days in flower but they like the HPS, grown about an inch or so. They will explode in the next 2 weeks I imagine.

One of them is a male, the other is suspect as fuck. I'll update again next week when it fully shows, it's the stinky one that hasn't shown yet I got testers and a tonne of other beans to get threw. I really don't even care about this anymore.

I won't get the time I wasted back... meh, we'll see I'm in a bitch right now regarding other things maybe I'm being hasty lol. But that's 5 males out of 10-11 seeds in the pack.
