Why does everybody cut the tips of the leaves off when cloning?

Its done so the plant focuses more energy on root wroth. It also reduces the plant surface so it will dry out slower. I mi self also do it to spot the newly formed leaves easily.

Blueberry & Cream Caramel Update

Hi guys, here are some pics of the plants after their cloning haircut. I also did some resetup of the CFL, changed some bulbs for higher lumen ones and added 2 more ventilators to the main grow area.

Here is the Blueberry #2. She is totally fine after the soil flush. I started bending this one, ill put up some pics of the bending on the next post.

The Cream Caramel:

Here is my favorite Blueberry #1:

After cloning I reorganized the CFLs in the grow area since I wanna try to keep the big 50W close to the top as they keep growing and the side of the pots are not useful anymore. So I got 2 shower bars and set them at the right height to grab the clamps. It worked perfect.

Here are some more pics of the plants: The BB#2 first

Here you can see the 2nd bent on the main stem.

The Blueberry#1

Here she is with 2 big 50w CFLs. You can also see on the left 1 of the 2 Cool Operator Jr. fans.

Here we have the 2 blueberries:

Here is the Cream Caramel:

A couple of pics of all 3:

The clones are doing fine so far. I'll put some pics of the bending I did on the BB#1 next.

SuperCroping the Blueberry

I decided I was gonna do some super cropping to my tall Blueberry. Here are some pics and Info on Super cropping (just in case).

Super Cropping Technique
One method of topping is called Super Cropping. By taking a branch between your forefinger and thumb you can gently crush the branch, causing it to develop multiple branches above the crushed area. You must crush it on the correct side or risk breaking the branch. Just squeeze lightly until you feel the branch give, then let go. If it gives easily then you have crushed it on the correct side. If it is hard to crush and the branch splits then you have chosen the wrong side. Practice makes perfect with Super Cropping.

I usually crush it, bend it away from the HID and then let her stand back up and heal.

PICS: This is the first one i did , 1 week ago.

Here it is healed after a week:

Here is the Second one. Now to the othere side:

The second one is healing fast (usually takes about 5 -7 days).

Ill Post some pics on the mother seedlings later.

re: Indoor Grow - Blueberry & Cream Caramel Fem

Grate results on the SC'ing, and as DrKran has explained. With this technique u are able to get multiple branches without actually toping yr plant.

Good work man! luv the seedlings, so just beautiful.
