did some clones bout 9 months ago worked out o.k. started with9 lost 4 others rooted in spite of my crude try @ rooting a stem.
I learned how to clone during about my third run. I took some flower clones after reading that it could be done, and have always had success getting plants from it. I just have a set amount of space and a LOT of beans to run. Except for this chuck-prep that will be done in a few months cloning is now reserved for head-stash, because I still don't want to veg a plant for a long time.

The CLHP is going to be cloned so I can grow more IF it has the same appeal as the first plant. It will also catch pollen based on that same standard. If it is nowhere near the first one I am buying more beans - and dropping several to catch pollen when I get there. Growing out the donor moms will tell me which beans to hunt from my chuck. Much easier if this one kicks ass like the first.

I would prefer to have more seeds of my preferred headstash than to keep a mother plant going. With the variety I have in the pantry a few zips from a plant will last a while. I drop a variety every month so the chances of having all duds in a run is very small - but I could deal with it no problem.
 
Harlet #3 Flower cut(BR) is finally looking like she is back to normal and her timing could not be better. As soon as Harlets & Hashplants get done drying in the flower tent I'll take some nice cuts off her tops & throw whats left of her in with both of my GMO X Funeral Cake plants in the big tent.

Katsu's Hot Wet Kushy(L) is in the teeth of stretch but looks to finally be opening up to concentrate on making flowers on Day 18.
My Dosidos bag seed(R) is totally settled and done with her stretch with all her energy now going to make flower on day 25.

I killed the two fems. something I did in the larger cups. I think it was soil and castings in the bottom under the seed starter. the dome is clones with little or no roots

My spare tent has tomato and pepper for now, blooms are starting everywhere and I just want to see fruit before I move it outside or into the kitchen. Don't need the stuff since the outside garden will provide, but for next winter I'll know. IMG_9263.JPG
But it's mainly the staging area for mom's and dads. The dome here is for rooted and cupped clones that are still working on filling the cup with roots, the Grandpa's Stash is the first keeper. The other one is culled since I have a plant now.

The CLHP is an 8-top for now. I have the top cloning, but may take a few more before I flip. Sky Struggler is looking better.

The Cream shifted to the tall tent. Still no sex from the Thunderhole's
IMG_9287.JPG
The Cream has mutant stuff all over. There's a triploid node of limbs on the double-top side. I may have to dig in there while it's young and get those middle leaves out.

And the rest.

Here's what goes on in my 5g pots after I cut the taproot out and add a spoonful of bokashi around the middle. I'll let them go until I need to get the next batch into 5g's, just keeping them moist. My main concern is the roots that are left breaking down, and the worms not dying. After a few weeks I'll dump them and mix it all together and so far there haven't been any rootballs that didn't crumble apart with a little effort.

With the bulk of the next two grows being skunky chem stuff that seems to stay shorter, I'm planning on little shrubs for most of them.

The CLHP was an 8-top, now a 6-top. Took two lower clones and as soon as I see roots on any of her clones she gets flipped.

Loving the two different structures. The CLHP and Mountaintop Mint (front left) are topped and have a nice flat canopy.
IMG_9333.JPG
The Loud Lemon Sorbet would be a flat canopy if it was topped, the lowers are keeping up with the top which is nice. IMG_9335.JPG
The others I got tired of seeing the fat fan leaves and all the limbs shaded, with no chance of tucking anything. The Williams Wonder looks like a mountain laurel. nice round shrub with a full canopy all the way around.
IMG_9334.JPG
The Thunderhole has one shrubby one and one that can't decide. Neither one can decide about sex. Very slow to show.

Really high, in the zone and about halfway done. Got the lavender cut trimmed and the green/orange runt is left. Bud-stems on both This One and That One. and fluffy enough I think it would all wash well. The dry-sift is money. The stuff at the bottom that was in between larf and nugs is all just glove trimmed, plucking anything with a stem and breaking off the tips. Not gentle and this is the stuff that will likely be bubble later. The trim at the top will be dry-sift and you can see from the color how much good stuff is in there. Lots of scissor work on the tops though - damn it :cool:

Should have all 8 plants for comparison soon. I need to find a color-wheel for when I take the pics ;)
I'm calling this cut "magenta":ROFLMAO:🤷‍♂️

Stoner tip. Never hide weed when you only have a little. If you have a ton leaving yourself little presents ain't bad 🥴 :ROFLMAO:

I was cleaning up and found a little air-tight survival canister with three cones and an rH pack in it. When I grew out the Angel Heart by Mr. Nice it was (what I now know) really hazy. I gave it three months and it always tasted great and didn't do much.
IMG_9368.JPG
It now has almost zero smell, it's smooth as butter, and I'm fucked upper than a football bat. A little birdie told me I may have some hazy stuff showing up in seed form so this happy little accident may be valuable. Haze = long cure. Check! I'll at least set a bit of each back in Al Capones vault to see if it ages exponentially better.

This fucks up my next drop. I want to keep stuff that I am chucking out of the super-poly-hybrid camp, at least on the catching side.

I will be dropping the Momma Moonshine to be the probable donor/F1 because it is really different from anything else I have grown out. I have 8 of those beans and am thinking about growing them all out and using all of them in the chuck, male and female. The harem of assorted girls that also get to play is what is in question, since I want to hunt through that stuff with excitement about what I might find.

I have 8 different Mr. Nice strains that are all basic NL/Haze/Afghani/Skunk1 (etc.) crosses. Any of the beans should have the genetics in there, so any female is good. But I also want to have the CLHP, ChemD, Chem91, Lemon Tree and a few other fems that I can just drop one to catch pollen with no need for cloning (for my purposes)

Thinking out loud so I can look at it later.

I want to get this done, but done well.

I have two big tents I plan to use for chucking since I may have a few moms still around that'll need a veg space.

If I just consider the chuck the start-over point to going back to being a bean-dropper exclusively I also have a closet, a mini tent and a tomato tent to have several mini attempts at F1's and mostly isolated orgies.

I am not worried about anything being homogenous and Pasteurized I don't care if 10-20% of the beans on a plant came from a dad in another tent. More variety. I could have a Momma Moonshine tent F1-ing with extra catchers, then a Rock Island Rocket male splooging next door on a variety of stuff and if some pollen gets to the MM's that's cool too.

Sanity and sanitation-wise it might be the way to go. I can have beans going in the mini-tent ready to veg once I kill the males and while I am cleaning up. I can't be completely plant-less or I would go crazy.

I need to make a seed-shucker/sorter for me now.

I need to go play outside... lots to ponder
 
DUDE! I found the KFC pheno of County Line Hashplant! :ROFLMAO: I really thought I didn't cuz when she was in the tent she smelled like an old fence line tore up with over ripe honeysuckle that somebody dumped some gasoline on to try and burn it down. Just got done knocking the leaves off to finish her on a screen and did a quick smoke test and holy shit balls... When I exhale I totally taste FRIED CHICKEN! :ROFLMAO: And oh yeah, I'm now high as giraffe testicles. Full point on recommending this one H.A.F. (y)
