Clones - Combo of Aero/Hydroponics/Soil

32 Site Bubble Cloner: Amnesia Lemon 2/5 (2 swollen look like roots will start) Blackberry Gum 3/5 (2 swollen look like roots will start) Gelato 4/5 (1 swollen look like roots will start) Gold Leaf 4/5 (0 swollen look like roots will start) Sherbert 4/6 (1 swollen look like roots will start) Zkittlez 5/6 (1 swollen look like roots will start) *Amnesia Lemon, Blackberry Gum & Sherbet strains have the fewest with roots. Amnesia Lemon are kinda droopy & don't have many with roots either. Blackberry Gum many really don't have roots only a couple with roots barely starting but have healthy looking leaves. Sherbert always looks sad/droopy leaves but has roots but not tons of roots.* *Gold Leaf's were the first to show roots & many have nice long root systems. Gelato's has nice root systems as well. Zkittlez was a little slower to start but picking up now with some roots.* 6 Site Bubble Cloner: *still too early to tell - only 2 days old* Gold Leaf /2 Sherbert /2 Zkittlez /2 *There are several clones that have full root systems that can be transplanted into soil*

Transplanted all clones from bubble cloner to 1 gallon pots or nursery bags. The clones in a 1 gallon pots will be my pair to make feminized seeds with. Force one to become male then pollinate the other. I'm keeping the vegetative stage much shorter than I had wanted too but the original order of the mothers were delayed by 2 months. I'm planning an outdoor very early spring harvest. Putting the males outside to make pollen - less of a cleanup hassle. Flowering & pollinating the females indoors in the very early spring too and letting them grow those seeds!

Roots are growingggg - busting out of the sides of the nursery bags already!

They're coming along nicely. I'm thinking about minimal training for better pollen & seed production. Still unsure what to do with the extras....

Getting there - starting to fill out. I wish I had more space I have too many clones - I took more than enough because I wanted to make sure of survival rate because this was my first time cloning. Not a bad problem to have but I don't want to just let them die - maybe I'll just leave them in their nursery bag & see what happens...

The tent is definitely overcrowded, they're starting to really take-off. I need to get the females I'm going to force pollen outside but it's still too cold. I may have to make a makeshift grow area for a month. Aquarium water: 6.82pH 395 PPM 73.4⁰F I used Bloom City pH Down until I hit 6pH

Dirty Aquarium Water: 6.43 pH 381 PPM 73.4⁰F They've gotten both bushier & taller, I needed to create more room in the tent for the clones that I will make seeds from, so I moved the extra clones I'm uncertain of what I'm going to do with it into a makeshift grow area. I'm waiting for temperatures to stay consistently warm outside so I can get these soon to be forced female outdoors to start making feminized seeds.

Moved light up 3" (now at 22" from plants) the plants directly under the light were showing light bleaching. I kept the light at 80% brightness. I'll keep an eye on it but I may have to turn brightness down because I'm as high as I can go with the light. After keeping an eye on them for several days they still continued to show light bleaching so I reduced light brightness to 50%. That seems to be the perfect setup & distance for the clones with this light. I either topped, trained & defoliate the ones that needed it.

They are filling out the tent nicely & waiting for the mothers to finish to be moved to the bigger closet. Some are still recovering from light burn from the intensity & distance of the light in the previous week.

They are over growing the tent, waiting for the mothers to finish to get moved to the larger closet so they have more room to breath & move with more airflow. The few that were light burned are good to go now just a little lighter in color still, they're growing out healthy green new growth.

They just keep getting taller & taller. They need to be moved to the bigger closet but some slow mothers are hogging it - so the babies must wait. Hopefully by this weekend they should have a bigger room.

They are getting too tall & overcrowded! I need their mothers in the bigger closet to hurry up & finish so these girls can have more breathing room. The few that were light burned due to light intensity are also back to normal growth, I'm keeping the light at only 60% brightness because that light is a little too powerful.

Yay! Finally they get space in the bigger grow room, been waiting for weeks. The few mother's that were still flowering were able to fit into the tent. Many of the seedlings were ready for transplant so I made room for them in the clone closet as well.

I tried to move a couple plants over to the smaller tent to get a little more air circulation in there because I had only a passive air intake. With this many plants in this space I didn't think they're getting quite enough fresh air. But upon moving them over to the tent the light even at the highest position slightly started light bleaching the tops of a few plants. So I then moved them back to this bigger grow space and bought an intake fan. The Zkittlez are fighting me the whole way, I don't know if she likes to be cloned or not. Only the Zkittlez often seem to look a little sad even with everything dialed in for them.

I'm sorry I completely forgot to take this week's pictures 😔🌱. Sorry it's the only one I have, just a quick crappy pic I took to send to my cousin. They're outside currently to get free sunlight & to choose which ones to be sprayed with colloidal silver. I did top them all to keep them short enough to bring them back indoors & put into flower. I figured since I messed up & didn't log anything the previous week I'd share my garden helper & what I'm using to start my vegetables in this year... Eggshells & TP rolls 🤣 it's working great so far.

I flipped them to flower this week, finally. They are way behind schedule because I didn't have enough space to keep them on their own 12/12 light schedule so they had to stay on 18/6 along with the other plants in the same grow space. They've gotten much bigger than I wanted them to due to that. But I'm hoping if I do the female forced pollen process correctly that'll hopefully mean more seeds to share 😁. I've been spraying the chosen males with colloidal silver for 3 days now. I take them outside to spray them & then let them fully dry before bringing them back in with the girls. Just a safety measure incase I mess up the forced female pollen process I'll still have good & untainted flower to use from the girls.

These were half of my little fem seed experiment. These feel like they are taking foreverrrrrrrr. They are growing nicely despite me not giving them too much attention or nutes. I have some both indoors & outdoors.

Still chugging along even though I've neglected them a little. A fun little side experiment, I learned a lot. At least I'll have flower from 6 more girls, not a complete waste.

These were grown to make feminized seeds so there will be no bud reports. Sadly the colloidal silver was past it's shelf life so it didn't form male parts, these wound up being composted.
