I linked to the thread that is NOT in the Ref Lib as it has some continued discussion not in the ref-lib.
Not much to show right now that you can't see in the original thread but it did involve some modifications.
The Mom: She is Sat. dom. A bag seed cross that hit the pheno jackpot. I have had her since 03, I think. The orginal mom went to flower and then I ended up taking a clone from one of the main branches which is my current mom. I can't remember if she was revegged for this or not.
In this attempt I had to customize the plug/wrap I used as the stalk was thicker than what the plugs could handle. I kind of pieced two of them together and bound them with butchers twine around the stalk.
Then I wrapped the plug with press-n-seal. I poked a little hole in the wrap so I introduce more water as needed. In most cases I would not have to do this but I can't get as tight a wrap as I would like due to the stalk not being 'round' if you will. So I add water twice per day.
This plant has been wrapped for about 2 weeks. About 4 days ago I took off the wrap as I didn't see any roots showing. I found some roots so I wrapped her again.
I trimmed the mom back a great deal so the new root system wont have too much plant to support.
As it is I will be letting as many roots develop in the al sight as I can before I detach her from her old root system.
I am doing this for a couple of reasons:
1. Don't want to do root trimming and repotting
2. Don't want to clone from clone from clone...
3. Just wanted to see if I could
