    Place the plugs into a domed container and place under florescent lights. I like to use plastic/tuperware shoe boxes stacked on top of each other. There low cost and easy to find at any department store. Not everyone has access to a fancy grow shop at all times. Don’t let the cubes dry out is really the only thing to worry about. Its best not to drowned them but as long as they don’t dry completely out I have always had great success using this method.

    If there is a Moderator around This should be in the Indoor Section I must a been smoking to much bubble when I started it.
    If you want to move it to the proper location that would be awesome.

    Default Cloning

    I have a secret to share with you. We do not keep mother plants!
    Mother plants count in total plant numbers they also use up electricity keeping them in the vegetive state and as they get bigger can take up valuable space. Long ago we figured out we could do away with mother plants by becoming efficient in cloning.
    Since we have multiple areas in before mature plants are placed in the budding room cuts are taken and rooted. This gives us small, healthy duplicate plants with vigorous growth instead of older barky stems to try and root from. I have read up genetic shift and I simply believe it does not apply when taking cuttings from healthy plants. Sure if you clone some old tired root bound mother with woody stems who knows what could happen but as long as the cutting is make up of healthy cells we have never encountered a problem.


    This can be easier said than done however because many growers struggle with cloning.
    When I first started growing it was the one aspect of the hobby that eluded me. I went through every device and product on the market until I figured out it really comes down to two basic conditions. Temperature and Humidity! These are the main factors that determine rooting time. If these factors are controlled cuttings will root very fast and be completely healthy and ready to transplant. If these factors are not controlled rooting can take longer and the cuttings can become stunted and never really take off even after they finally root. Aim for a constant temperature between 74-78 Degrees. While people root outside these parameters we have the best success using this range.
    I recommend you start using Rapid Rooters. These are small plant based plugs pretreated and ready for cuttings. I forego there plastic treys and just flip the triangle shaped cubes upside down for support and make a new hole with a pen or nail. I have used soil in cups and rockwool cubes but Rapid Rooters are really the best choice and they seem to hold just the right amount of moisture without suffocating the plant. As long as you don’t let Rapid Rooters dry out you will have great success.

    Take only fresh green shoots to clone from. Older parts of the plant will have almost a thin Bark and cuts taken from this area will not root as easy and may not contain 100% healthy cells. I like to prepare all my materials first before I take any cuttings.
    Make sure you cut the clone and a sharp angle like a spear. While a new clean razor blades works best I simply use clean sharp scissors that I trim with.
    Cut off the long fan leaves about half way, this will prevent water loss.I use a plastic pen to make a hole in the rooter and hold it open with my fingers as I pull out the pen. I stick the label in at this point before placing the cutting in.
    I gently find the hole and slide the cutting down never forcing it. Be careful not to squeeze the cutting as you press it into the Rapid Rooter.
    I keep repeating these steps until all the plants on the list are checked off, list are important they keep us from forgetting so take the time to write things down.

    I see people wasting coin on all kinds of contraptions only really designed to take your hard earned dollars out of your pocket.

    You think cloning is important now? You bet on it it’s the key to mastering the art of Fine cannabis production.

    Default Topping

    To get a good start on this style it’s important to top the plants early. As soon as my clones have rooted well and have started to grow I chop out the meristem causing the plant to divide into 2 growing shots. Now this will slow the growth down initially but it the long run you will have a stronger plant that yields more. If this is performed low enough the plant will actually develop 4 heads just leave 4 growing shoots. This is an area that is really misunderstood by many growers. While a single growing shoot will produce a larger single cola, topping a plant properly can put 4 colas sweet spot of light intensity. This allows more of the plant especially the lower buds to receive better light and produce larger buds. The over all yield of the plant is greater than an un-topped plant in most cases.
    Not all strains benefit from topping but most do. Some really short slow Indicas like Urkle just take to long to grow out when topped like this but this method allows us to harvest 5 ounces consistently in soil per plant. So what I am saying is all plants do better if topped but some slow growing varieties will require additional time to mature to a proper budding plant size.
    Topping early is the key with most strains so the plant maintains a low profile with the maximum amount of bud sites in the sweet spot. Topping also allows fewer plants to fill a room. When dealing with medical limits fewer plants that can produce the same amounts of cannabis is a very crucial aspect to master.
    Seedlings are a bit different and you must allow the seedling to develop and have at least 4-5 internodes before topping. If you top a seedling to early the shock will slow the plant down tremendously wasting time. Allow a seeded plant to get herself rooted well and establish several sets of fan leaves. I like to wait till I see roots in the drain holes before my first topping.

    Default Transplanting

    This is another over looked aspect of growing that has a very big effect on your end.
    Clones and new seeds are always placed into 1 gallon nursery pots without any Super soil or added nutrients Use only a good balanced potting soil that won’t burn your baby plants. They will only stay in these smaller pots for a few weeks while the roots get established and while you shape and top them. It's very important to not procrastinate when it is time to transplant out of these smaller containers. If you get lazy and let your small plants sit around in their starter containers, it will slow the transition process after transplanting. I have seen firsthand the huge difference when I gave some clones to a card holder. The day I transplanted I had 4 extra clones that I passed to him. Instead of transplanting right away he waited until they were root bound and looking poorly. I was able to harvest 30 days before him and the quality and quantity difference was hard to believe. My method is not for the lazy or procrastinating type, the more on top of each technique you become the better each harvest will become as well.

    When I am ready to transplant into the final pots. I use #10 nursery pots now that will hold a full 7 gallons of liquid. Seven may not sound much bigger than a 5 but let me tell you these slanted #10 pots hold a bunch of soil! Make sure to lift properly using your legs and not your back when moving one that’s just been watered. Not everyone agrees that a large container is needed but in side by side test over and over we see a dramatic difference when the larger pot is used. The larger capacity also allows more time in between watering and that extra day can mean an extra day away from the garden or at least more time to do other chores.
    I fill each pot 1/2 full with the super soil. I then fill the top half with plain potting soil. This buffers the roots and gives the plants time to get used to the hot soil I use.

    The first step is to set up our pots on our trusty tarp the same one I used in mixing this soil. We line all the pots up and place between ½ and 2/3rds of a container of concentrate into the bottom of each container. Stains that have heavy nutrient requirements get more and short slow Indicas that require less food get less concentrate. Remember its better to under feed and fade a bit to early than to over feed and burn your plants up. There are strains that are light feeders like Cheese that can't take any Super soil and for these we use straight Roots soil or BioBiz light. Plants grown in this organic method that fade early produce amazingly potent, smooth and tasty buds and the loss of yield is small. Some strains can grow fast and have such heavy nutrient requirements. For these plants top dressing half way through the flowering phase can be beneficial

    After the first step we then layer some plain commercial potting soil on top of the concentrate, about 2" worth. Use your hand or a small trowel to lightly mix the two layers. This allows the plant to be buffered as it hits the hot soil on bottom. Make sure the roots do not touch direct super soil use your hand to mix the plain potting soil around with the super soil. Then go ahead and fill the container with plain potting soil leaving a small hole in the center.

    It’s important to water the plants well before transplanting. This helps prevent shock a nice damp root ball will make a happy plant. Gently flip the plant upside down. Wack the bottom with palm of hand to loosen the root ball. Support the plant by placing hand on pot allowing stem to protrude though fingers. Remove from pot and support the base. Flip the plant upright and place in hole made into the soil making sure the root ball is even with the top of the soil. Gently pack the soil level around the root ball and don’t forget your label.
