People around here seem to like dogs, and mine apparently doesn't want me to go take a bunch of cuttings right now, so yall get this picture instead of one of my snazzy new humidity dome all full of snips in my fresh new root riots.

He's not as cute as @Meatman newest family member but he sure has stinky dog breath.... you know I'm not really sure where I'm going with this, but I'm now inspired to name a strain Stinky Dog Breath...

Best friend you got right there ?

I am also terrible at cloning but it looks like there’s a lot of extra plant material that could/should be removed. I always thought you want to leave just the top node and snip the tips off of the fans to promote root growth

I leave as much foliage as possible on my cuts. As long as the light levels are sufficiently low, there is no downside. The upside is that once roots are established and light levels are increased it has a bunch more solar panels to promote additional growth.

Re: snipping the leaf tips, there was a study posted on icrag a few years back that found this decreases the cut's chance of survival by half. I never, ever do it.

You saved me alot of time typing
Thanks
I'll 2nd this.
In all my yrs till I got on the internet 2 yrs ago, I never cut a leaf,
I started doing this last yr and I got 1 out of 10..
This year I have gone back to my old ways and have roots...
I don't see any Angels coming down here and cutting leaves on plants out here.... in the real world..
I really think you're hurting the plant the more you cut on it.....
 
Just went and pulled these two cuts out of the mom tent for a quick pic by flashlight. The mom tent has a bit more than optimal light, as seen in the lower yellowing on the one plant, but this is 10 days since the snip and it will be rooted in a day or so (it may be rooted now, you can see new growth on top, but I wait until roots are visible at the sides of the cup before moving to the veg space).

I had always thought this as well but as @Agent Trent Hauser and @Capt's Farm mention apparently there's a lot of research out there now that strongly suggests the opposite is true to I'm trying more vegetative stuffs this time. It's an all new experience this time around lol

Received my PoTM prize today! Huge thanks to @spyralout and all the other staff for hosting these contests and hooking it up with dope prizes! I mentioned to Spy I wasn't really a dabber and he offered to send something else...he picked out this beauty and I couldn't be more excited. It's been a minute since I owned a real full size binger.... can't wait for the kids to go to sleep so I can test this bad Larry out

Glad it got there safe. It looks even better in your pic vs the TAG site. Enjoy that rig and keep pH’n :phenohunt:
 
Well they're not the prettiest but here's some shots of the reveg survivors... amazingly some of them pulled through pretty well...

20210322_203357.jpg
AKBB Vintage Blueberry x Blueberry Muffins from clone... actually handled it the best. Barely looks any different than mom and she'll be coming down soon

20210322_203253.jpg
Chem Sister.... she was very early in flower when the "incident" occurred and seems to be doing alright. She'll get another run but I'm kind of wondering when the wow is gonna hit... not much in the way of terps so far. We shall see.

20210322_203304.jpg
MSS is a leafy mess but I unlike Chem Sis she screams special. There was some debate about whether this cut was legit or not but this is the super Skunk I remember so Riot can shove off. I'll call it the Analog cut as suggested by the person I got it from, so as to avoid confusion, but this is pure nostalgia for me. Not roadkill skunk but skunky burnt rubber and sweet rotting fruit. This girl will definitely stick around for a while so I can dial her in. Gonna start working a BX as well, thinking the Shiva Shanti I have coming might be a good choice for a male for that project..

20210322_203222.jpg

And last but not least, Orion from @Dino Party... like the MSS she got super leafy after the reveg issue but unlike the MSS she stayed on track and is wrapping up soon. Smells awesome. Gonna be a lot of trimming but the terps say she's worth it
 
Other arbitrary observations...

I started using that little tent to observe the boys and I'm real glad I did, one of my Brutal Thunder is definitely a girl lol. I have no idea where I saw balls before

So at least one of the Kokusho Mystery beans is a male... which is weird because I was sure they came from another plant going herm on me. So I really have no idea who dad is! My guess is the GMO but it shall remain a mystery it seems...

And my BOO from Useful hates life and may need to be culled. She's had tacoing leaves virtually her whole life and nothing seems to help. Now she's showing some kind of nutrient imbalance as well. I'll definitely be dropping another one either way.
 
And

Congrats, on the Reverend.
I have 3 setting bud, right now.

Seems to be 2 groups.
~Thicks , with few, oversize leaf.
~Branchy, with multitudes of Maple Leafs
TurnipHead is a mix.
In my dreams Turniphead produces one giant bud. Sitting there like king cauliflower ,,with a bunch of other leafy stuff surrounding it.

K ,
Possibly (?) that won't happen.

A person must petition the Fates ,otherwise they are doomed to live off the diluted, trickle-down scraps of the more unimaginative Muses.

I am muy excited for the reverend!

I would also love a single cabbage sized bud. I would most certainly reveg that plant.
