Mephisto Genetics SODK x Alien K.I.S.S

[HubbaBubba]

DAY 27 cuttings, trim that bush!

Snipped off side shoots, stuffed the 3 best in peatmoss:

Each cutting has different amounts of foliage. Lets see who does the best, after darkness for a few days to encourage rooting.
Stems were sliced at an angle to increase surface area. No rooting hormones. Soil is saturated with water.
Prepped the water like a martini, shaken not stirred because:
" An increase in dissolved oxygen of only 20 parts per million may have a great influence on rooting." -Clarke

Wanted to take the cuttings younger, but have to wait until they have a few inches of stalk, read that they need carbs in that stalk to get started.
Hey, @BR549 @JohnnyShake, are you gonna try some cuttings?

I am already 14 days away from hitting my legal plant limit, so any extra mini plants would be a risk to my freedom. I am interested to see the results of rooting cuttings this early, might have time to grow a little teeny tiny one. Good luck! Also...just ordered up a batch of seeds for the silica battle, they should be here and in the ground within the next 2 weeks, FaSilitor vs Rhino Skin. I know you are going to hate my choice of Fastbuds BlackBerry, but I haven't seen a grow of it yet and I need a heavy indica in my rotation. I agree the marketing is ridiculously bad, I just hope the genetics are legit.

DAY 28 more trimming. The goal is half an ounce of SODK x Alien, that is all I need.

But experimenting is fun... so 4 more cuttings in peatmoss:

All 7 cuttings are healthy. Surprisingly healthy, robust.
They can tolerate medium strength light but not heat. They should have decent roots after 10 days.

Wonder if they will make buds, or grow.... I can dream

Day 35 cuttings

11 cuttings, 100% survival:

Here is what is left of the organ donor...50cm tall:

I spent an hour staring at her today...couldn't decide where to cut next.... only need 1 oz of buds.

Here is how she should look:

All of those tops will be solid fat colas. She's perfectly healthy and bushy also. I can't wait to see what those cuttings do. I have never been able to get a cutting to root they all die haha. What else you got going in that pot?

The cuttings had no special treatment. Not even rooting hormones or a humidity chamber. Just cut and stuff into peatmoss and saturate with water. After 1 day they were strong enough for mild light. After 7 days they started to stretch, so I guess they can handle more light.

I have planted every variety of Mephisto from my first order. Growing is addictive, in a moment of weakness I planted...

I guess when I grow my Mephisto photos I'll learn how to get a clone to root. I think I just never gave them enough time I give up on them and toss them. That blackberry kush is supposed to be good though. Atleast you'll have some purple bud. I just pollinated a red poison with my SODK x alien pollen. Trying to make some purple SODK lol. I don't think my solo cup red poison will live long enough but we shall see.

Day 39 She has burst into flower.

Topped both branches, and trimmed a bit. Down to 4 side colas. Before/After:

Trivia: eating the flowers is intense. The flavors are very strong, like drinking perfume.
The flavor coats and sticks for 30 min.

HBBS flowers are tastier, light pleasant flavors.

Cheers!

I thought this was interesting:

That cutting was stuffed in peatmoss 2 weeks ago.
The roots are all from cut area, no roots coming out the side of the stalk. Maybe a longer diagonal cut would help?

Yes she flowered, actually all 11 cutting flowered.
Still have 8 cuttings growing, no idea what to do with them.
