i went up from 12/12 an hour each day till i got to 18/6, then i left the lights on for 2 days, then back to 18/6. like i said, i sprayed them a couple times each day to keep them wet, i used the dome the first 9 days. and yes, they were from the very bottom of the plant.
Nice, thanks for the info! Unfortunatley I don't have the clone box setup yet, so I'm just using the clear cups over each and they seem okay so far. Time will tell I guess.

Thanks for the tip, would a couple really small holes in each cup with a tac work?

Oh I joined the Cartel btw lol.

Nice, thanks again for the help CD!

The girls are looking good, clones seem to be hanging on so far. I think I see some hairs showing on short rider thats been in flowering for about 2 weeks now plus I did some more lst on her and really opened her up!

Did you talk dirty to her too?

LoL you know it!!

That might help. Try taking her out to dinner first too.
This girl eats more than I do lol...

Pretty sure smelly keeps her fat & well fed so she never has to leave the crib. :)
:) She's one spoiled girl, no doubt. Speaking of that time to feed her!! I need to pick up some dolomite lime I guess because my Ph drops to 5.3 with the mollases sitting over night mixed with the nutes. I guess I can only get the lime from the hydro store?


Took 2 more SR Clones today!

i would keep an eye on that...ive had trouble getting good ph readings with molasses in the water..its all good if your using a digital meter tho.i found out the other day my tap water here was at 7.5...after adding my big bud from AN to it..it lowered to 6.5....woo hoo.but when i tested my batch that had molasses it could not get a good reading since it screwed with the color of the water so much...but im using the color chart kind of test...cant find a decent digital one here

Hey dude I'm curious how you are cloning an autoflower? I've heard you can't do that since it's only got a 60 day (supposedly) life span? They won't revert back to veg. Let me know what you're up to, I'm curious.

thats what i was told...but it seems some of the shortriders dont follow their ruderalis traits...if he had to take some plants and put them in 12/12 then its doing its own thing and not following what the strain was set to do.the clone should follow the same traits.and hell im glad he did...if it goes good then i know i can (maybe) clone some of my autos

Yea I'm using a digital but I noticed you where having problems with it. I've also read that its not good with hydro, I'm assuming thats why..

I did notice that the molasses drops the ph at least 1 point if you let it sit over night which with the tiger bloom I'm down to 5.3ph! Good thing I have the meter or I would be screwed! For now I just diluted it with some 8.0ph tap water until I get some dolimite lime.

Yea I was back and fourth on cloning an auto but I figured I would give it a try seeing the lower branches wont produce much bud anyway because the plants already 3' tall. The main reason I decided to clone this short rider is because there was nothing "auto" about it. I vegged these babies for 10+ weeks and had to switch to 12/12. I know that doesn't mean that they will revert back to veg like a normal strain but I figured it was worth a try...

Okay Big Girl, is looking great. I just measured her and she just hit 3' exactly, how big do you guys think she will get in 5-7weeks?

WonderWoman is looking very healthy.

Shorty, "the short rider thats been in 12/12 for 2+weeks now," I think is ready to show some hairs. I think I might see some but not sure yet.
I lst'd both top branches as you can see from some of the pics.

I trimmed the yellow leaves of the bagseed funk, "BS." I watered it with straight water and its seems like the new growth is good so far.

The other topped SR is showing some small preflowers, I think it might go male..:evil: I should know in the next couple days.

Anyway enjoy, I'm changing the picture days to mondays since thats when big girl went into flowering.:joint:
