i hear you on the rep lol. i would tonight but i am all out for today, i will hit u up soon. man that sucks about your apartment situation. i wanted to ask you about the cuts you have in straight perlite. do you just use the perlite as a medium and nothing else? sounds like a good idea to me.
cuts first go into a ghetto bubble cloner that i made... once they pop some roots they go into the 100% perlite (i'm even using the miracle grow stuff with the stupid nutes added in with litte or no ill effect)
they're in 16oz beer cups, with a hole made about 1 inch from the bottom... it creates a mini resvoir that the rest of the perlite wick water up from... but they still get plenty of air in the mix too...
right now i'm also trying cloning in rockwool... my previous attempt dried out and died... but that hopefully won't be the case this time... if i can do this successfully that would be great... my bubble cloner is kinda messy... and the rockwool cubes line up nicely and make for easy transplant...
once we have enough moms, this is gonna be the way we'll have to go... and just wait till the roots grow profusely through the rockwool... then straight into a 32 oz cup of perlite iwth a hole about 2 inches up... that'll be all the room they'll need for flowering... and they'll be spaced 4/sqft...
but like i said... we need the moms to do that
which is exactly what we're looking for right now, and hence the mass onslaught of beans of different strains... there won't be any more pics for another week just cuz there isn't anything to really show you guys now... most of the bigger plants went to flower yesterday... the rest are just cuts waiting to root or clones just starting to put on growth... with just a few more mature plants in there...
OH YEAH... i had to kill my raft mom... or, well, i somehow mostly killed it on accident and threw it away today... granted, this mom had been in a 3 inch pot (holding maybe 2 cups of dirt) for the past 3 or 4 months... and i had over watered it and when i did my last major cut taking the excess roots died off and rotted in the over moist environment... so i'm gonna need to build another bonsai mom... maybe i'll make a thread for it...
