Them's some fat colas. I'm hopin mine turn out that dense this time around. Do you think I'll notice a difference between growing with CFL vs HID?

o man a huge difference!! dont get me wrong cfl's are great and work very well but the density and size will amaze you. im telling you once you get hid's you will never look back lol.

Hehe, good news for me, then. I was surprised at how dense my Skunk buds turned out under CFL, but I had kind of a crazy setup so they got a lot of light from every angle.

i see man i have never used peat pellets for cloning i just use rapid rooters and a humidity dome/propagation tray and have always used this method since i first started growing and had at least 90% success rate. i use clonex rooting gel with a tiny bit of ph'd tap water in the tray and it usually takes about 2 weeks for them to have some good roots established. the whole setup is only like 25 bucks and works good temps are a big thing to if they get to cold or to hot it can take allot longer to see roots. i have tried aero cloner and bubble cloners as well and got stuck in a rut actually when i lost a batch in each (2 batches, 60 total) and just couldnt seem to clone anymore now im back to my old method and they are looking great finally.

Cool glad to find that you narrowed down the best way to clone to that will save me frustration, and congrats on the harvest. Hope it is a great smoke!

I have a lot of single seeds that I'd like to keep going with, so I think I'll give your cloning method a shot. Grats on the QP, I'm hoping to pull a lot more weight from my tent this time around and it's encouraging to see other people's results.

thanks bro i actually just weighed the 2 plants i harvested today and they are pretty dried (i live in the desert) and they are about 5 and 1/4 oz. I think it will be about a little under 5 oz's all together it will be about 1/2 lb off 4 very small ones and 3 good ones with the added light and the pruning this is very good for me, if the plants can pull 2 oz's each with 16 plant harvest every 4 weeks it will be around 2 lbs every 4 weeks

Nice manicure, Dr Green. Do you air dry until the stems are completely brittle, or do you start curing earlier?
Click to expand...
im hang drying them for about 3 days there are still a little wet at that point then i de stem them and lay them in a leveled net basket for another few days they are pretty ready by then. the stems will still bend but crack not break thats when they go in the jars.

ok so i built yet ANOTHER aero cloner (tomicmart3000,s specs on his thred via https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/407968-jock-horror-3-week-perpetual.html and much thanks to him) and thinking it will be much MUCH better. havent taken any clones in it at the moment i rooted clones in rapid rooters and going to veg them in the new machine. i also had to take a few photos of my WW mom and im just amazed at how she is gtowing at the moment.

Hey Dr,

I have left the plant hanging for a week now.
What's the negative if I leave them there for too long?

Nice Buds!
They look awesome...

thanks man
if left to long they will usually be to dry and not cure properly, if its only been a week you should be ok depending on the humidity in the hanging room, mine dry fast cause i live in the desert so we have little to no humidity.
