Ugh.. alright. here we go, finally an update!! I had the fuckin nastiest virus in the fucking world- completely disabled my keyboard- couldn't even get into safe mode, ugh.. anyways, finally got this bitch working!!
Kiki was cloned on the day planned. The 12th
(so 2 days ago now). Actually decided to clone in soil this time, dunno why- just a last minute stoner decision. Four clones were taken- I only planned on keeping 3 of them, but I just might keep them all if they make it.
Hard for me to kill such a beautiful baby. Bf took the pix, all the pix from the cloning process are here. YES ITS ME BITCHES..
lol. Um.. just threw some soil in the cups w/drainage holes (Sunshine Organic Mix soil btw, perlite pre-added) Made holes in the soil for the clones.
First clone was cut at exactly 4:20p.m. on her 2 month birthday (she sprouted on Oct. 12th) Cut with new sterilized razor blades. Dipped and covered clone stem in Clonex gel. Planted clone, heavily misted soil, pressed soil firmly around step, misted whole clone. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
The clones are about 4-5 inches away from 2 42 watt cfls. The clones are all kept inside 5 gal painters bucket. Top of bucket covered with plastic wrap, taped down. Originally I had left a small 1 inch gap in the plastic on the top of the bucket- a couple hours later all the clones were wilted and flat!! I freaked. LOL. Anyways, covered the open spot and re-misted heavily- sure enough the next morning they were standing straight at attention. They are their mother's children- my little troopers.
They've been great looking ever since- hopefully the babies will root and thrive.
More lights to come very soon. Kiki will not be flowered until confirmation of the clones successfully rooted... umm.. oh yeah.
As far as the names for the new babies- THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HERE WHO HAVE HELPED ME ALONG THE WAY, I WILL BE CONTACTING 4 CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN VITAL TO THIS GROW TO PICK A NAME- I'll let everyone know when I know.
