Water for Soil: pH 6.3

I did a lot of defoliation, fimming, & training to open up lots of bud sites because I will be flipping to flower in the next week or so. When I began training the Peanut Butter Soufflé, she broke where the stem meets the tap root. I trimmed it up to root it again using the simple Kratky Method because I don’t want to lose the plant or the genetics.

I like to supercrop the branch first before weighting it or tieing it down. That moves the stress point away from the main trunk and out an inch or so on the branch.

This plant is remarkable because it was such a robust & healthy pheno that I never expected the tap root to stem section to be so flimsy & weak. I mean she just snapped like nothing.

Oh well, she will make for a killer clone now.

Do you have good luck cloning in a cup of water? For me it always took too long, the plants looked like crap when they finally rooted and I had a hard time transitioning them to soil.

Yeah I always use a cup of water with clone stage nutrients. I also change the water every 3 days so it doesn’t get gross & stagnant. However, it does take a while to root compared to a cloner set up.

Both are my reasons for the two different mediums. I also want to see if there is a difference in nug density when it comes to soil vs. DWC in the end product.
