SOG Cycle 1

Current cycle is just about to end and I'm satisfied with the amount of clones I have so far. At the end of the week I will transplant whatever I have. This will be the third time growing this particular pheno and by itself at that. The second run is just finishing and I am consistently impressed by the terps and thick structures it produces even under stress.

So I'll be running several clones per 5 gallon pot on a 3x3 flood and drain table at an 11/13 flower cycle from start to finish.

Basic run down of my equipment and process below:

Veg tent
  • 4x4 tent w/ 2x 4x1.5 shelves
  • 2x 185w Bridgelux fixtures 3000k
  • iPower 6 inch booster fan
  • Growpito Sim mix
  • Mega Crop
  • Rhizopon cloning powder
  • Axeon Bt2500 RO system
Nothing special here. Basically the way there process starts is in here with several mothers. I use a cloning powder from Rhizopon and the same nutrient solution that the rest of the veg plants are on.

I prefer taking 4-6 inch cuts compared to smaller ones. So I count how many long cuts I can get from each mother and I set a cup of RO water with humic/kelp to the side. After every cut is taken they end up in the cup.

This time around I didn't have time to plant my cuts so they went into the fridge in the cup of humic and kelp.

Later I placed them in these small Grodan 1x1 propagation trays filled with Growpito and soaked in my mother's nutrient solution. They were dipped in Rhizopon after soaking then placed in the medium. Throw a humidity dome and I'm done for a week. Below is the result of 2-3 weeks inside three propagation trays.

Flower Tent -
  • 5x5 Gorilla grow tent 3000k
  • 500w Bridgelux
  • 6 inch Vortex exhaust fan
  • 6 inch iPower Carbon filter
  • 3x3 flood table
  • 25 gallon reservoir
  • Growpito Sim mix
  • Mega Crop
  • Axeon Bt2500 RO system
Harvest will be done this week and hopefully I'll have a minimum of 36-45+ clones to work with. If everything goes well I'll be looking at 36~oz with minimal trimming.

I had a project in mind this is different never tested out. But what if you LST a plant main stem on the soil surface then cut sidebranches halfway so that they are still on the mainstem but half of it is cut. then put some root stim. and bury the sidebraches in the soil, so could the sidebranches start actually make roots and be half attached to the main stem??

Do you want to test this out?

Very nice looking btw! ;)

Sounds kind of like air layering and would probably work out but idk of any particular benefit.

Can't test out much of anything for awhile, sorry.

Thank you.

The benefit would be that the new sidebranch starts making new roots but still attached to the mainstem and it would get nutes from both ways. and would spread nutes evenly and better. just thinking idk. Was wondering if this could be done to an auto and get bigger yields.

I can't say that would provide any tangible benefit. If you aren't reaching 75g/sqft there's more yield to be gained through various other methods.

It takes 1-3 weeks to root a cutting, in that time many autos would be transitioning to stretch or flower. At this point, if I want more yield I grow more plants.

I was thinking also that when u cut the sidebranch halfway, it wouldnt stress that much and could continue growing and getting nutes from the maim stem while same time developing nee roots for the sidebranch. I thought about this because on my auto ultimate grow 3 years ago the lowest sidebranch cropped itself halway, slowly I think and developed some roots there, it looked very weird. And at the end of the grow that sidebranch looked like a new mini auto lol. It was 3x the size of other sidebranches.

I don't really know. I don't like training plants and I grow autos 20% of the time lol

Try it out though. Might pioneer a new technique

These guys around here veg their clones for a few weeks before flipping. Also, the cuttings have minimal leaves on them. The larger leaves they cut half or so off each leaf. Get that energy to the roots. Thanks for tagging me as I don't go looking for blogs :smoking:
