Auto-Pulco Gold New strain in progress...

[ripster]

Thanks guys...I just hope they don't stretch 300% in flower... I did take the one male that I don't want, and put him in my bedroom widow. I want to see that when he starts to flower, there are no signs of hermies...

@ cres, I'm cutting clones today and and after they root and get going, I'll take mom out of the tent and and put her back under my T5's. It's taken me so long because I have so much going on right now it's driving me crazy...I started 6 more beans and my Onyx needs harvested today, and since I finally got the tent up and running. I now have the room for the clones...So bear with me, I'm getting things done, just a bit slower than normal...:booya:

Word update, pics coming soon

Hey all, especially "cres"....Got the clones done my man...3 or 4 days ago. I think my 3 female clones are good, but I'll have to redo the males. I didn't take as good of care of them as I did the females... Oops...

I also transplanted the female into a much larger pot. Hopes of keeping her as mom for a long time to come.

As soon as everything has gotten accustom to there new surrounding, I'll take pics...:thumbs:

I thought you'd like that...
About how long does your clones take to show good roots? I've only done it twice now and I forgot who long it took before I saw good root development...?

mine are about 10 days before they fill up a 32 oz cup with roots and start circling the bottom...

 

[cres]

depends what did you put them in? what temp they at? what humidity? What kind of light? I can get clones to root in a 18oz cup in 10 days with low light from a 400w hps... with no cover or heat...

That's what I was thinking, thanks guys...

So does anybody think I should clone the dad or just flower him with one clone for seed?

Rip I would just flower out and make beans if you have the space to do it in. I Clone the same way as Cres into a cup with soil/peralite. I just put a clear rubbermaid container for the first few days as a dome. Then slowly take of and hr first time and work your way up till they don't need a dome. You'll see em start to wilt then put it back on. Ive had near 100% clone success, no hormone/ gel crap just soil...

The reason for keeping the girls is the possibility of a bx or the fact that you may have not seeded the right pheno... or the fact that it excellent and you want to keep her...you can always kick her to the curb later and if you can learn to clone in a cup off to the side of your veg room then whytf not...

cres, I just purchased a $7.00 humidity dome for clones. I have 2 females and 1 male that are still making it, but with this new dome, I'll fill it up with female clones and seed one with my male, but make sensi with the rest...Should be able to get maybe 10 more clones under the dome...

I need to update with pics, but have been busy with major family matters...
