Yah some of the growers over the years that grew this way did their own mothers because of the cost in buying clones.guess you'd need a lot of mommas to support that method
Nice caliper on the stems. Looks like your food is dialed. One question though, wheres the roots?We're finding cherry berry and california to be nice strains.
Been testing the growing system that we developed with a few strains and they're doing well.
These are pics starting from a small clone, 6 day veg, end of 3rd week of flowering (first pic california) and bottom pic was end of 4th week for cherry berry.
Disclaimer..the testing is being done at a legal mmar grower's location who agreed to test our system and not at our facility.
I don't understand how you are able to retard the roots, but it sure looks like you've hit on a new style grow that is productive.This is a growing system and nutrient delivery system that we designed to use ourselves and for lp customers. It's meant to have very little roots. Has you can tell, the plants are extremely happy. Makes it extremely easy to work on plants, move them, no tube plugging and no root balls to dispose of come harvest. Fast veg and flower cycle so far.
The system has 22 data points of reference (water temp, nute rates, ph, tube weight, water pressure etc etc) and sends the data to a server to process and make adjustments to the nutrient mix, water chillers or to alert of a failed process.
Good luck, please keep us posted.Thanks Leaffan. My team worked very hard putting this together.
We think we'll have a few lps interested in it. If not, we'll keep it for ourselves.
Sounds good. Doing a round with 8 cdb strains now.Good luck, please keep us posted.
I've seen roots not grow much in rockwool cubes. They stuck out a bit, get air pruned and seem to just grow in the cube itself. Saw that years ago when a customer brought in a plant to show me. It was a few weeks into flower and very little bit of the roots stuck out of the cubes but inside the cube was tons of root growth between the fibers.I don't understand how you are able to retard the roots, but it sure looks like you've hit on a new style grow that is productive.
That sounds very logical...probably a good method in avoiding pythium.I've seen roots not grow much in rockwool cubes. They stuck out a bit, get air pruned and seem to just grow in the cube itself.

So I imagine what is happening is they water the plants just enough and if there's no water flow on the bottom of the tubes any root that grows out and hits the moist air it gets air pruned.
Indeed! This mere mortal has been ransacking corpses for weeks, and was lucky enough, fortunate enough to be graced with some of the Suicide Cheese. Here are my thoughts...So many choices, so hard to do. I agree that I also like to have many strains on hand as well. But if I was left on the deserted island by the tweed sight seeing barge, I'd pick......Suicide cheese and Blueberry 93.
The blueberry 93 smells like berries and tastes super smooth ( having one right now ). Medium in strength but very smooth on all accounts. Light in color and always consistent. I wish i could get a hold of it or see it growing. I really like it but only get some once in a while.
The suicide is the best smelling weed and the stinkiest I've ever seen in my 200 years on this planet. Even more so than Skunk 1 x Northern lights of 25 years ago..and that stuff stunk to high heaven and was exactly like a real skunk..buy anyway back to the Cheese....Simply insane smell that captivates all who wiff her odor. Sounds kinda sexy doesn't it. It is. It is also the butt fuckin ugliest army green monotone colored scrawny bitch on the block. I only ever saw it once elsewhere than ...here.. at the Expo in TO 3 years ago. Some northern compassion guys had it. It tastes very heavy in a good way and leaves your tongue with a wonderful interpretation of it's smell. Way past a skunk odor and even more stinky. I love the smell. It hits great and last hours. I am pretty bad a describing stones...sorry.
Anyone I've ever shown it too is blown away by the stink of it...such a great stink. Almost a deep rot..but not. I simply can't describe it. THe Iranian Chemdawg is similar but toned down much much more. The suicide has zero bag appeal and anyone would dismiss it as scagg weed...until they get a wiff...then they pay attention. And after smoking it then they become enlightened as to it potent strength and rich flavor. I handed out maybe 10 cheezers at the show and had a least 5 of those folks say to me the next day...fark was that ever good and did I ever get a buzz. It's truly King Cheese...the big cheese......not like other cheese or even like any real cheese...
