Great thread you do them just like I was taught only I use hydro rooter, my mother’s were toast so I only got 20% viable. The 8 I took from bloom room are 99% right now and last one looks ready to shoot a few hairs.

Day 1 about 12 hours of light later and we are perking up. Off to a promising start. A bit concerned that this location hovers between 66 and 70 degrees. I normally use a heat pad with a thermostat. But......the wifes husky found it drying on the side of the bathtub and decided to chew on it. The local nursery was out and the pet shops around here want twice the price for an "under tank reptile heating pad'. Same damn thing. I 'll see how it goes I like 75F. Should just be a small increase in time only.
TY. My grandmother taught me to clone tomatoes with honey and aloe vera when I was about 8. The more things change..The more they stay the same.

I also forgot tell you to water your plant about an hour before you do any heavy trimming. The plant is going to "bleed" and will experience drought strain on top of the shock of being mauled. That's why I only topped and didn't defoliate the same day. Going to wait another day because the plant is a little droopy. Normal and not an issue if you let it recover.

Well it's a week later. I'll start with last weeks cuttings. Wired another 40W 3700K panel, Samsung 3528, just for them. Found a warmer location. Been running 15 hours light at 70-72 F. with 75-90% humidity for one week today. A little too humid for me. Running topless for the day hopefully. Vents aren't big enough in the dome.

My little Northern is doing well. A little stretch from fighting with the cuttings for light for a couple days. No big deal. Bury it deeper when I transplant it. She is showing some hunger by being light in the middle. Get to start feeding her tomorrow. Also be topping her soon.

My gorillas are finally making me salivate. Putting on weight. Frost is getting thick and starting to sparkle. Hairs are coloring. Stink actually irritates your eyes. And sticky enough to make watering an obstacle course. Week 7 day 5. Thinking at least 2 more weeks. Slow finisher. Probably long 10 week. But I think I found my best strain yet. Means I'll be flowering mom indoors. Wanted to let her be the monster she is outdoors. Not enough fall season here to finish before frost. I'll put a couple clones out just be sure though.
