Online clones

after fighting a ghost og (from tcb) for 2 cycles, and all genetic and transport issues taken into account, i'm only halfway happy with my bank purchase. albeit done with the ghost, for several reasons. she made it to preggos with the pushing, but meh.

the selection is good. obviously taking the hops testing seriously. i was also warned about the ghost being salty, and went ahead anyway. but it took a reship, tons of feeding adjustments, and nursing nursing nursing to regain the leather oily OG look.

biased or not, i've sent out better clones if and when i do. i know a guy or three that will agree. @DemonTrich sends out lush green monsters comparatively, no transition work at all. my personal headstash has survived off his clones and snips for a decade, backing up my cuts.

imo the only benefit of tcb is a wide selection if anything, and the freebies are pretty clutch. i've seen the snips you guys are getting, and the "instructions" they send out. the 4 rooted plugs they sent me were all weak compared to what i'm used to. and double the price without discounts.

just my two cents. headaches vs turnkeys is a decision i'm done fooling with.

peace :yinyang:

Post up pics of the London Truffle I sent out this am to ya. I can 100% guarantee you there will be absolutely zero issues when you get it, open my clone shipper, and put into rotation. There is no wilting on any of my clones. I send them out rooted and ready, (they first root in an aero cloner, then uppot into a solo cup with ffof).

I used to buy commercial cases of solo cups (1000 pack cases).

The root zone is so much more functional and large in a solo, not really a comparison. I’ve never had a single issue for ten years, whether restock or new genetics from you. Water for 3 weeks and uppot is easy. Never a herm.

I’ll post up the next turnkey for reference. Fancy blister packs and shit is neat, but I’m old and unwilling to suffer more than I have to.

Yes sir! My clone shipper (2x solo cups, key chain led light, 3" neoprene pucks, tape), cost is 5.00(+/-) vs a clone shipper that costs 15.00 and is pretty much the same thing.

No wilting, no issues. Rooted and ready to go.

There was tape securing the purple neoprene pucks to the solo cup. This keeps the rooted clone and soil in the bottom of the cup w/o spilling all over. Then the top cup gets inverted (insert led light in top opening), and taped to the bottom rooted clone cup. Place in 1gal zip lock bag so no leaks. Wrap bagged solo cup in brown paparr so no light leaks.

Admittedly I cleaned it up a little. But for the rec, this must be clone #300 from you. Every single one received in working clean order. Zero transition. I’ve decapitated the crip for branching but I’ll post her up soon too.

Are you in plugs, aero, coco pucks? Was it recieved rooted? If it's "greening" up on ya, foliar with a light veg feed (50% nutes max) if in plugs, rw, or pucks. If your in aero, add (depending on volume of h2o in aero cloner, add a bit of veg nutes to the water. NOT over 25% nutes. Make 1gal of veg nutes @25%, top off aero cloner for the next couple days. In 4 days the cutting should start to uptake the nute/aero clone water and darken up. But not enough to burn the said cutting/clone.

I do this for my aero clones if need. But 3 days before I take another round of cuttings for clones, said mom plants get a 100% veg nute feeding. This helps the mom have stored nutes to last thru the cloning stage.

I recently got 4 rooted cuts from TCB. They were the dealers choice deal. The cuts took one day longer to arrive than they were supposed to and that had me worried. When i finally received them they looked OK but i wasn’t impressed w the roots and that had me more worried. I followed their directions for the most part. They all suffered bad transplant shock and i figured it was 50/50 whether they’d make it or not. Well, all four are going to make it. One is thriving and the other three are slow but steady. Still a long ways off from a finish line. I will say this, these tiny clones are quite loud ! no doubt the carbon filter is going to get a workout. I suspect i’ll need to start running it even in veg at some point. Will post up some pics at some point when i have time.

I got these 7 rooted (front left corner and front right corner are my cuts) on March 23rd. I've takin cuts off them and will be flipping next weekend. Im happy with what I got but I certainly wish they would've looked as good as what @DemonTrich ships! Animal tsunami is a beautiful beast so far in the back middle. Awesome structure and full of vigor. The GMO Sherb Crasher (middle right) is one of the slowest growing plants in veg I've had in a while. Almost time to see how these babies produce.

Nice time to flip!!! I usually wait until it's a few weeks too late and I'm culling for room.
Lol

3 rows of 4?
3 gallon fabric pots?
3 rows of 3 in 5 gallon fabric pots. I would be flipping right now but I hit em with too much light when I moved them into this tent so I turned it down to 25% for a few days and gotta creep it up so hopefully next weekend. Im lookin forward to this one

I'm bout 8 or 9 days in and no sign of of roots and I'm starting to get top leaf getting bright green so if they don't start rooting real soon gonna have some problems 😞
How they lookin? Can you post a pic of what you got goin on? There's a lot of knowledgeable peeps here that might be able to help. I've been saved by members advice on here multiple times.

Foliar with a 50% veg nutes. Water in a little root hormone. I LOVE dip n grow. So much so, ive went through 55+ bottles over the years. Check the active ingredient for DnG vs cloneX, then check the price difference. DnG ftmfw every time!
