That rd, appreciate any insight. Just got done setting up the clone dome! It'll be on top of the veg closet, on a shelf on top of the closet. Gotta separate it from the veg room tomorrow, so no light leaks into the veg room. (Veg room on 18.6 light, clone dome on 24/0 light) My green thumb vetran buddy's coming over tomorrow to help me take some cuttings. Might throw two clones in the bloom room, 1 of each kind. We'll see how it goes!

Busy day full of firsts! My green thumb vetran buddy came over to day to help me clone! Got 24 clones out of my eight plants! (3 of each) I also lollypopped them at the same time. I put four of the plants into the bloom room, and are going to wait a week to put two more in the bloom room, (two will stay in the veg room as mother plants.)
It's been five hours since i put them in the dome, and they're looking droopy. Question from vetrans, is this normal, do you have to prop them up with sticks? any help is appreciated +rep for any good insights! thanks.

Two different kinds of indica. I don't know what kinds, but they're from a good source. my buddy's been growing for years, and these are the two soiled plants he still clones. I know he supplies a couple of dispensiaries too.

The clones are still drooping 24hrs into it, but there was water on the bottom of the tray, and rockwool cubes are still wet. next time around im gonna squeeze cubes until they are just damp, and only spray the cubes and dome. Hope this helps anyone one doing it for the first time with rockwool medium, i still feel it is the only way to go for me. But my humidity is really good, and i'm not gonna water till cube get to just damp wetness, I want the clones to be thirsty so they'll be forced to root, but not too thirsty.
Bloom day two and i have three things going on at once bloom room, veg closet, clone dome. Seems like they're needing more water recently, (every 3-4 days compared to once a week,). Next watering will have bloom nutes for bloom room plants, and veg nutes for the two mothers that will stay in the veg closet. Looking good though, just got so many ideas on how to do things next time! Just watered today, no nutes.

Pic 3- clone dome and clone dome room, on top of veg closet, i taped it up for no light leak!

They are a litttle bit on the big side, but nothing serious... a little yellowing on the tips of the leaves can be a good sign, because there are no roots for the plant to use to find nutrients, the plant begins using itself as energy in order to create the roots.. i dont see any major yellowing, and they definitely will droop between days 2-5, day 6 and 7 they perk back up

Thanks shrubs and gf420, I feel the love! Great Idea shrubs with the paper clips, I was looking for something other than wood, (which can rot, mold, etc.!) Things are really looking up for the clones. Definitely think it was the too wet rockwool cubes, The clones need water, but they need air too! I totally feel confident with my cloning now!

Starting to rethink the whole lollypopping thing. I know that with my current grow I need to concentrate the light to the tops of the plants, but am regretting cutting the bottom fan leaves. I will be able to gauge the difference with my next grow. Next time I will use extreme LST early on, So the plant will grow horizontal, and the whole plant will have an even light pallet. Experiments are so fun!
Picked up some Kool bloom 0-10-10, and ona, (odor neutralizing agent) for smell. See How it turns out. Gonna start using the Kool Bloom once the buds start showing. And
I got the ONA to see if it's a cost effective neutralizer opposed to carbon filters.

Ona works very feel, i use their products, they are a great product.
im not familiar with most of the acronyms they have for different grow styles, whats LST? or SCROG? just curious know what SOG is though.

sog-see o green
scrog-screen o green
LST-low stress training- bending plant over, exposing undergrowth promoting even light distribution.

Thanks terr805 and GF420. Considered SOG/ScrOG- but gotta stay in legal limit. And GF420 your avatar makes me nut every time, can't get enough of the mom from weeds. What a show, and what a milf!

GF420 thanks for the tip with ona. Just gotta find out which is more cost effective, how long does a little ten dollar jar last?

That's why I suggested scrog, I'm assuming your legal limit is 6 mature plants since you're in cali?
You should consider scrog'n 6 plants and get a massive harvest that would be the shiz. harvest a few pounds hopefully
