GONEJAH17'S WW & MK Run from 12/12

[Rumpleforeskin]

That MK is stretching big time in my cab. Lot more branches then my WW.
Good luck with stage two of the "Gonejah Cab".

[gonejah17]

Whatup big homie!! Thought I had already replied lol, great to see you on here!!

So the MK stretches more than the Widow?? Thats very interesing, I was worried about the stretch of the WW. Looks like I might be ok for vertical space If I can just get Margie in there soon lol.

Can u prove the MK is stretching, lol, u know, with pics??? lol

Love to see some updates. you know me, the update whore . . .

Im hoping against hope I might be able to squeeze Shorty in the flower cab sometime soon. If I get her in this run (doubtfull) Ill start to chronicle her in this thread at that point.

K thats it.

Oh and Rumple, post some pics

Can u prove the MK is stretching

lol

you're too funny man!

[gonejah17]

lol thanks IMGREEN I try, I love to bug Rumple

Yo R, ur gonna have so much fire, the cab looks great man!!! Ur not running out of vertical space are you?? She LOVES That Co2 and your green ass thumbs!!

Hot-DAMN that man can grow!!!

[screwdababylon!]

yo

u can give them some hip-hop at day time and some raggae at night
so they can rest a bit

if i was a plant i would like it
and get a subwoofer in there the bass vawes must do some positive vibration

[gonejah17]

good ideas.

Had to take the speakers out cuz Im tryin to squeeze more in there this run.

We'll see if it has a noticable effect, I doubt it will.

yo man.. explain these rapid rooters to me if ya don't mind.
do they have holes in them already?
do they hold moisture better than rockwool?

i'm hating on this rockwool so far.. i need a new method.
also, do you use a tray that holds each one individually?

thanks for expounding on this matter.

lmao nah man I dont expound for dead heads

[gonejah17]

Yeah man I love Rapid Rooters. I started out w rockwool but just heard too many bad things about it.

Theyre little brown "medium pods" with holes already in them, but I always poke something thru to make the holes deeper. The rr maintain a perfect moisture, u cant reallly waterlog them but they will dry up and turn a light brown if they go too long w/o h20. I THINK they might have some beneficial bacteria in them???? Not sure about that. With my clones that are almost rooted I let them dry a little but with the brand new ones I try to keep them moist at first. I just used a regular rooting tray and cut it smaller to fit inside my clone chamber. I dont use a humidome. For the first day they might lay down but they stand up by the end of the day. I usually hand water them twice daily (morning and night), but if I go in there in the middle of the day I might check the new ones to see how theyre doing, might spray a little on the leaves.

Let me try to find a pic of the tray . . . here we go


HTH, Seriously tho AW, Im so jealous, I thought I read somewhere ud been to quite a few Dead shows?? Thats something special man. Big up for that man keep those memories

[AugustWest]

thanks man great info!!
I like the idea of a more organic medium and something more PH friendly than rockwool. I've been having to water my rockwool everyday, but from reading your post that seems normal.

a few more questions though (lol sry)
should i use a lower PH as if i were doing hydro till i put them in dirt?
do the roots grow through the holes in the tray? If so are they easy to get out?
do you have to soak them for a long time before use?
I think i'm gonna try them out next time i hit up the shop.. although it's been 7 days and my rockwool clones look like they're rooting.

thanks again dude appreciate it!

PS ya i saw 140+ shows from 86-93 it was real good times.. hard to explain. definately some crazy shit

Funny thing is, Rapid Rooters really *are* organic - says so right on the bag . Not sure what they're actually made of though. And they're moist in the packaging, which makes me think Gonejah's right about the beneficial bacteria.

Whatever the case, I love the things.

DAMN!!! I never knew u went to that many shows. I had a "Hippy" time of my life when I was living in the NE for a few yrs, went to a bunch of phish shows and spent some time w some GREAT ppl. Some of my fondest yrs. Lol to look at me u would never guess I was gettin all muddy rockin out at Lemon Wheel -- went from that to rollin blunts for Snoop, been all over the map lol

yeah I mean RW WILL work, and Ive never really had problems w it, but the RR work too and are a little more forgiving I think.

To tell you the truth I just scoop water out of my R/O tank with my spray bottle and dont even check ph. I know my R/O comes out around 7.2, so a little high but it works fine. Clones root. I dont soak them for long before, I keep them in a sealed ziplock bag (they come in one) and keep them moist, then throw them in a bowl of water to soak for like 30 seconds before using them. You can kindof squeeze them like sponges under the water to get them to absorb, u cant do with this RW cuz it crushes it. AS far as the roots growing thru the tray Ive never had this, but I check them every few days for roots, so as soon as they poke out of the rr at all I xplant them to my ebb flow. Ive stuck them in the ebb flow bnefore I saw roots on the outside (but knew it had rooted inside there) just as experimentation and theyve all rooted.

So I kinda do it half ass (dont lower ph and all that) but it works, if u did it with more care itd probably work even better for you. I get about 90% success rate with this, and when they dont root its usually my fauly and not the RR lol. I find if you get a nice thick stalk that goes in there solid it will root for you. I dont even think you really need rooting hormone.

140 SHOWS?!?!?!? I got a flex capacitor lets go back and take me with you!!!!!

[AugustWest]

thanx dude i'm stoked to try it!
gonna take a few more SD clones before that one gets too deep in flower. I'm digging this well water ever since i found out it's just filteder and not put through sodium or anything.. it gives me 190ppm with the brita filter.
Sounds like a better method than rockwool for sure.

shit i'd go back in a second man.. cept i'm not sleeping in a 72 skylark in a parking lot this time lol.

they are made mostly out of tree bark actualy I've had 100% cloning success with them, but i really want to get some mediumless cloners going..
