Me and soil don't get along too well. I'm assuming you never saw my 'attempt' at using soil. I think I got about 4 grams from 2 plants. Wasn't even good smoke. Plus I don't know where I would put them... I have cats with access to the entire house, except the grow space... and that is full up. It's not that I don't want to take clones... it's that it's really not practical for me. Props for the advice though. It's good to have you along for the ride Psychild. I've always loved that quote in your signature.
Thanks man Lol...I saw somebody post it in a old ass thread one time and had to steal it.
You got some Rockwool or Jiffy Pellets? Those will work just the same.....treat them like tiny F&D plants and keep them moist. I forgot about the hydro part Lol, it'll be MUCH quicker and easier with water √ I have a small fish aquarium air pump I got at walmart for $5 and plugged it up inside an old Taaka vodka bottle, and normally see roots in around 7 days. Just a thought though.


edit: I'm beginning to see how much easier hydro really is Lol....I don't have an EC meter or anything, just PH drops and temp guage....I'm not getting the full potential of the strain, but either way still have higher yields with my DWC plants than I do from my soil plants.

Hey Jig, if you cut a plastic bottle in half, take a cutting, stick it in a small pot with soil, then pop the bottle over the top of the cutting and stick it on the floor of your cupboard in the shade. It'll root. And if it doens't, no worry. lol.....OR simply take a cutting, stick it in a brown bottle, and pop it on the window ledge. IT'll grow roots eventually.

cheers D. I can swing that. Only problem now is that the OG... aka J-OG named by our common friend is the smallest of the lot. She's gonna need to grow some before being cloned. I'll give it a shot though. The more I talk about it, the more I sound like a little baby, wah wah, I can't do this or that, lol.

Much work to be done here today on the plants.

Holy crap D... I hadn't noticed you past 10k posts. You'd think you were the one without a job, haha. You honestly blow me away with how much time you have for us here, time for the plants, and time to actually get shit done. I guess it shows how much your lady works.

Thanks fellas. And yeah psy... hydro is the shit if you can make it work. I love love love it.

Ach, if it's worth it I am sure you'll get it licked lad. And I just noticed that as well, RIU rehab here I come, lol. Hello, my name is DST, and I am a RIUaholic, lol.

It's probably just shows you how little work we have had. But even now when things are on the up, I have a job where I am in control, I am ze boss, hehe. Like on Sunday when I opened my email. One of my guys emailed to say he was working that day and he would be getting double time. He likes to tell me things I already know, lol (I mean I make money on him, I am not going to miss out charging the client double time). So that's like an extra 120 euro for me thanks...... as he rolls another fat doob and looks into his cab. Who said you couldn't work on a Sunday and still take it easy....aaaaah.

Went through and watched your videos on YouTube. Pretty awesome. Your name is badass too.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to jigfresh again. Been trying.

Haha, thanks man. When I started the channel I figured people on youtube were pretty rediculous so I thought of a fittingly rediculous name. Now all these peeps call me king and shit. I'll take it, but it does make me blush. I've never been one to toot my own horn. Guess that went out the window.

I got the plants in a mini DWC, trying to get some root growth before going in the tubes. So far they aren't cooperating. They all look happy and healthy, just no root growth. Grrrr.

Hey fellas, what's going on this fine monday. I think after taking a turn for the worse my plants may actually survive to give me a harvest. Not 100% sure yet, but like my wife says "You always worry about your grows and if they are going to work, and they always turn out great" I'm trusting her judgement. I bought some Home & Garden (i think that's the name) - Roots Excellerator. Shit was expensive, but I've always read good things about it. The plants that have grown new roots seem to be growing about 1.5-2 inches a day since putting the R.E. in the rez. The two biggest plants are the saddest looking as they haven't started growing new roots that I can tell, and there is a lot of greenery up top to keep fed. They've been dropping leaves like nobody's business. Quite depressing really.

But all is well. I've been getting other shit done too. I've been fixing up my strat (guitar) and my les paul too. (for the record they are the cheap versions stuck up guitarists would say are not a strat or a les paul but cheap rip offs) Well to those imaginary people I say FUCK OFF... I have more fun playing shittily than you ever will with your nose in the air. lol.... just had to rant a sec. I picked up a midi controller/ keyboard, and I've downloaded a bunch of trial recording softwares. Also, a couple friends visited for the weekend, one of which is an artist. He's also my best bro from high school, and the oldest friend I got (not in age, but length of our friendship). When he comes up we paint, get our creative juices flowing. I'll post up a pic. I did my best painting yet and had a lot of fun doing it.

And lastly, baby making starts this week. Send positive vibes, prayers, dances (or whatever you do) our way. It will be nice to smoke again... and even better to have a little one.

jozi, you make me lol. You have a knack for rubbing people funny with your bad jokes. Jesse, meet Jozi. Jozi, meet Jesse. Both peeps I can vouch for as good folks. Pretty much like everyone on this thread. I think one advantage to typing a lot in my posts is that it scares away the idiots and haters. I don't think they know how to read, lol.

Illiteracy FTW, hahahaha.

Oh.. last thing. My source for these clones still has a few of the OG clones. I told him to keep them in veg in case this turns out to be the bomb. So gets me off the hook. I won't be learning to clone just yet.

Ah shit. That wasn't the last thing. I bought some Psycho Killer seeds from my friends' seed company : http://www.seaofseeds.com/category.php?cat_url=breeders-boutique
Totally excited to not only grow them out, but also an honor to support friends in their venture to better this thing that we love: growing MJ. Props to all concerned. Also, I am thinking of trying another go at soil next year. Gonna mess around with some super soil: https://www.rollitup.org/subcools-old-school-organics/338384-2010-revised-super-soil-recipe.html

That's it. Peace

I thought it was pretty funny....and it gave me a chance to pitch some shit back. Fun times :joint:

That said, 1.5-2" per day of root growth?? Daaaaaamn. Nice.

Sorry to hear you have having a couple issues. Me too. For some reason I thought it would be smart to take my fully rooted clones and throw them right under a thousand watts of MH (and they are little clones, relatively speaking). Meh. They are finally starting to really take off after about 10 days of little growth.

Sometimes, I have trouble walking and chewing gum. :smile:

I make some dumb decisions too. Funny because I think I'm so smart, lol. Got an exciting email with tracking number for the seeds... checked the royal mail website and they said:

Your item, posted on 26/09/11 with reference ************* has been received at our international mail centre and is being made ready for despatch overseas.

You guys in the UK spell stuff funny. Centre, despatch, haha. You also write your dates strange. I guess you all didn't know we invented English here in the USofA. ;) Speaking of the UK... the jig clan will be invading soon. Better watch out. And if you have any cats PLEASE have me over as I will be in serious withdrawal being away from mine.

I'm just so god dammed lovable, what can I say? Dude, Jig, I want you to have a few of these Old School Kush (Old School Hindu female x Afghani #1 male) x f3 SFV OG remake (SFV OG female x same Afghani #1 male).

I chop down the seeded mom tomorrow or the next day, I'm thinking tomorrow before neighboring mites from one bad plant outside get on it.

Sounds good to me bro. I'm gonna be popping seeds in the new year and would love a bit of a selection. Any idea what it smokes like? I guess what I mean is it a nice hybrid, heavy on either side (ind/sat)?

Update a little on the plants. At least 6 are developing nice roots... not sure about the others yet. I'm bummed the J-1 is looking terrible and that was the one I was really looking forward to smoking. :(
