Getting the mothers prepped for cloning and they look super healthy. The two larger plants are the black water and the smaller is the orange pk. These mothers are in a small 2x2 tent with a 150 hps but will be transferred into a 5x3 with a kind k5 750 once they root. I'm still a super noob so if anyone has any good cloning advice please leave a comment!

Topped and took clones from the blackwater and cleaned up the orange pk. Since topping the blackwater they stopped stretching so much thankfully and are starting to fill out.

Girls are getting huge, a little too big for the veg tent but I'm hoping to move them over in about two weeks. Hopefully I can throw the scrog net down and be very close to flowering. The clones in rock wool aren't working out very well unfortunately so will be taking a few more and trying the bottle of water technique that was suggested.

I tried cloning with rockwool, gel, soil etc and I had no luck. But then I tried the "ole fashion" way and just put them in deer park spring water bottle and sprayed them daily and I'm cloning like a pro. It takes about 2 to 3 weeks so be patience but you'll start to see root bumps in about a week

@MrFolgers88, Hey man! You mean you just take a drinking water bottle that's half full and stick the clone in the neck? I currently don't use RO water but I imagine that bottled water would help? I will definitely give it a shot, I normally have pretty good luck rooting seeds in rockwool and was going to try that as well, Maybe I'll do an A/B and see what works best. Thanks for the comments!

Just be sure to check water levels and signs of algae and you should be good.. Good luck on any method you chose!!
