Have 2/3 Chem Sister cuts rooted and in coco. One of the MSS as well. All the others have just barely started to root.

Also took 4 cuttings off the Hippy Slayer tonight and got them in the cloner. Need to get that into flower so I can see if it was worth it.

Lucky you! Mine are still rootless so far, as of this morning, damnit.
They're starting to go yellow now, and I've been giving them 1/3 strength nutes throughout, so I dunno...
They're in coco plugs, in a tray, with a dome, and they're taking their sweet time to get going... Fucking pains in the ass!

Yeah. Mine got pretty yellow too but it was right as they rooted. The MSS is definitely way behind the Chem Sis.... got two with roots now but I'm losing hope on the last one

If they done make it I'm sure he'll send more, seems like a very reasonable guy

Not always the case, but yellowing is often a sign that cuttings are rooting. Don't give up hope just yet. Best of luck brother! Positive vibes...

Yeah, he said he would resend, if they didn't take. I'm just antsy to get these gals growing, so I can get more cuts, and get these to flower sooner than later. I was hoping to get all 3 rooted, so I could trade for some other stuff ASAP.
I'll be happy if I get 1 at least, but cmon girls! Lol

This is true , usually starts w the bottoms first. I have also noticed that when heat builds up and is the issue the tops will yellow first .
I utilize my homemade aerocloners, so I rarely get any yellowing. A little bit too easy really. Usually 100% success rate (unless it is hot as balls in the middle of summer) @28 cuts per round. Yeah my plants tend to multiply a little too quickly haha. Positive vibes...

Yeah, it's the bottoms yellowing so far, but they're being shy sticking those toes out lol

I wish I had the problem of too many- That's easier to deal with than not enough!
My aero cloner has been failing me lately, which is why I went with the passive, coco rooters the last couple rounds. I'm sure I'll get back to using it though, or maybe a bubble cloner... Gotta get a more reliable method going one way or another though!

That is normal ?unless u are stanknuggs and have no issues w cloning. Lol
I can't emphasize enough how easy aerocloners make cloning. Literally just set it and forget it. A necessity for my old ass. I beg people to build aerocloners whenever anyone asks me for advice on cloning. I have utilized just about every method over the years with varied results. Again, during the middle of summer, I see 50-75% success rate tops, due to high temperatures in the aerocloners. Luckily, that only lasts for about a month, so usually just 1-2 rounds of cuttings. Positive vibes...

Yeah, I think I've done just about every method of propagation so far. Some have worked better than others, at different times. It really comes down to what works in an individual's environment, I feel.

What's actually working best for me, at the moment, are a few cuttings of Bodhi's Pillow Book, which were taken after the received cuts, and are just sitting in a little water, in a solo cup. They've got some nice little white nubs already.... But, Pillow Book may just be a vigorous rooter. Another pheno of it was one of the only, and fastest, to root the last round. And they were reveggers, taken at 3 weeks flower.

On a positive note, both of the rum runner beans I started are looking good so far.
I've probably soaked at least 50 beans the last couple weeks, with mediocre results so far, and I think I've been drowning them in the soak.
Usually, I'll soak for a day, but I've been letting them sit for 2 the last couple rounds, which I think is too long. These rum runners I put in a coffee filter, in a canister, after a day of soaking, rather than 2, and they're popped already, with nice white tails.
I'll be going back to soaking until they sink, then into a coffee filter, vertically, for straight-ish roots, until they shed shells, then either into coco plugs, or hydroton, to get going.

I'm usually safe once they're out of their shells and embryos, with a couple green cotyledon open.

Stoked those Rum Runners cracked! I was definitely a little worried after they spent 2 months in the hands of the postal service lol

I know, right? I'm stoked they're good so far too!
I wasted 2 of the San Fernando fighters in the last round of pops, so I'll be extra careful with the last 3... Gotta get those going... They seem like the makings of fire!

Oh, can't remember if I mentioned it yet but Skywalker is now my favorite Mephisto strain... not a phenomenal yielder but the smoke is pretty killer for an auto... strong, uplifting head high, smooth, sweet and piney flavor. This is the first auto strain I'd legit consider running again.

So my Grape Pupil has me a little confused... we're at Day 51 from flip by my math but its looking pretty darn close to done. Seems quick and it didn't bulk up much... but the pistils are 80% orange and curled in and the trichs as all milky, even the lowers... the top colas are probably 10% amber

I'm gonna let it run a bit longer but it may be coming down soon which is pretty surprising
