Hello everybody. This is Shane McCormick from the cheap home grow podcast. It's my pleasure to introduce you to skill bo1 he can be found on Instagram at skill bo1 he comes on the show today to talk about cloning. I've been talking with skill ball one for the past few days and I can tell he's passionate about growing his own and he's someone I know you guys will appreciate he's a home grower from Michigan and is growing medium is soilless that is peat moss based, but what I found found interesting is that he uses a aquaponics to clone and then he transfer his clone to soil. I think you'll enjoy the show and I look forward to your questions. When it ends. Please remember to press subscribe and enjoy the show. Hello and welcome to the cheap home grow podcast a show for individuals that want to learn more about growing cannabis indoors. This is a podcast dedicated to helping you with your indoor growing Adventure. Sure, you'll learn how to grow your own and not have to rely on others for your medicine. The cheap home grow podcast will also feature timely interviews with cannabis industry veterans shaping the culture and politics of cannabis. All right here is your host Shane McCormick and the cheap home grow podcast. Hello everybody. This is Shane McCormick from the cheap home grow podcast, and I have a Michigan Home grower. He can be found on Instagram his Instagram name. Is skill bow one that's s Kil bo1 and he comes on the show today to talk about the basics of cloning. So if you could could you please tell my audience a little bit about yourself and then we can get right into the topic of cloning great. Well, thanks for having me on the show today. I am a grower in Michigan. I've been growing my own since 2012. I am a legal, Michigan medical marijuana patient. In though, it's legal in the state now. Thank the voters. I have fibromyalgia and crushed discs in my neck and my back so I grow my own and I don't take any kind of prescription medications. I just use cannabis. Okay? All right. Well, you know scale both. Thank you for that brief introduction. I really do appreciate it. But listen, let's you know, let's get right into the basics of cloning. And and really I mean you are going to be speaking from a new Growers. If I mean, you know what, you know, I mean, how does a new grower properly clone? I mean what what should and should they not do? I think it's most important to only clone plants that are healthy and what that means is if your plant is nutrient deficient in any way and showing any discoloration or if it's sick or if it has bugs you have to wait and get that out of the plant and get it healthy again as the mother before you can take loans from it. Okay. Well, I mean, how do you tell that it's it is a healthy mother. I mean like I mean, what do you you know where he's at? What I'm looking for it color on most plants tends to be really kelly green and bright though. Some are darker and some are lighter always but you will know because the leaves will be up. They sometimes call it praying hands that you'll see when your leaves are up there very happy. Those are plants that are ready to be cloned. You also have to wait until they are a certain age because you need to have a certain set of nodes on each branch that you will cut off. So if you went from saying the top of the plant you would count down 3 or four or five nodes before you made your cut with a pair of previously sterilized Fiskars or scissors. You don't necessarily have to use a razor blade. I know that that's a lot of the books but as long as it's clean, you're good. Okay fair enough fair enough. Now, you know, I mean, let's let's let's I tell you what, let's assume. This is a aquaponics set up right and you have a mini. Far from now when it when it comes to Growing from that perspective what you know, and really I guess the same question applies. I mean what should and should a person not do when it comes to when it comes to Growing sure when I first started growing I used to use their called rapid readers. They are these little peat moss plugs and I tried calling in those and I've used the rockwool cubes which You have to pre-soak those cubes. I've done it that way. What I found works best for me is a deep water culture style of aquaponics. What that means is that I have think of a small tote that is probably a little bit bigger than a large shoe box that you would put about two gallons of water into the bottom. And then the bottom down there you have a pump that basically keeps the water in there moving around and you have an air stone which So ads are into the medium the water oxygenating the water helps. Okay, so that's why it's a deep water culture system. I use an oxy clone 20 site and I have had 100% success rate in this method for the last six cycles that I've had it whereas previously with the other methods. I was hit or miss but it was probably just my mistake and not being smart about it. Okay. Well, I mean what? No, I mean what are some mistakes that you made them? Well I back when I learned to grow the internet was still kind of young for you know, all of the information and I wasn't very well-versed at using it. So I listened to other people that had grown before and so I use the Clone Dome system where you have you know, the small black tray and you have the Dome that goes over top of it and then you put your plugs inside and you cut your Is to come inside and you are not supposed to water them. Well, the person that told me to do was like, oh no put some water down in the bottom there bro. That way they don't dry out. Well, what I was doing was is it was drowning the route, they couldn't get any Oxygen so they were very weak if they did take it all so that was one mistake that I made if you do use that method I would recommend using a spray bottle to keep the humidity up inside of there and try not to spray the actual plugs or Ever you're using just spray the leaves and the inside of the Dome. All right? Okay, well fair enough now now I mean when it now I mean, you know prior to this recording, I mean you and I talked about talked about gels right now. Let's let's delve a little bit deeper there. I mean should should a person use gels or should they not use gels when it comes to cloning? I think that you you Use the jowls. If you were in a regular situation where you use either the root Riot plugs or you used the rock wall. And the reason is is because the cloning gels are really hormones and they helped produce the root sites in the beginning and hell of a drive what I use though is I don't have to use cloning gel because when I put my clones into Mike lohner they are sticking with the the tips inside of the water. So the water already has my be one vitamins, which is from whore Max. So I don't have to actually, you know, how you cut them and stick them into the cloning gel and wait to 3 minutes or a half hour. Some people put it in a cup of a solution of that and let it sit overnight. There's the thing about cloning is that there are 5,000 methods to do this, right? That's the problem is that there is no this is how we clone. Right, right, okay. Well, okay fair enough. I mean, well I tell you what, I mean, you know and it's like me just walk you through the process, right? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, I know it's a podcast is and it's not a YouTube video but I mean really I mean if you could could you I mean not just walk me but you know walk the walk the listeners through that process sure. Okay. So if you have a plant that is healthy and you look at it, you're going to see all kinds of of sites on it where you can take a clone from I do is I tend to take my clones from the top of the plant and not the bottoms the bottoms for me. I think are Woody their weaker? They're not getting good sunlight or anything else. I want the strongest most robust cuts that I can get that when they route they're going to take off and shoot To The Moon. I don't want something week that's going to struggle and maybe clone in three weeks and that's just not smart for me, you know, even though I am a home grower. I do want to stay on schedule and I'm Rach okay. So I've just figured out where I'm going to get it. I'm going to cut it from this site right here. So if you have a pair of Fiskars or scissors that is a good visualization of about how long the Clone is going to be when you cut it down at the end. That's what your stick into the medium. So we're going to cut a little bit below and you can make your cut on a 45 degree angle. Then you're going to stick it in water for a second to keep it from getting what's called an embolism, which is where are It's into the cutting and it can cause it to not root. So we stick it into water for a second. Then we pull it back out down some people like to scrape or split the end of the Clone hoping that will create a stronger root or a different kind of fruit. I haven't found that myself. I think it's kind of, you know plan specific. So once I take my cut I go ahead and I take the Clone collar that goes into the top of the color. It's a little neat. Train ring like a circle Puck and it has a slip from the outside to the inside Center and that's what you slide around the clunk. Then you stick it inside of the cloner and there you go. The cloner is running already. You've already put your Newton everything in it that one on let's go back and do another one. Okay. Well, I mean now I mean, how long does it take to to sprout there? Some plants are really really quick and then some plants are notoriously hard to clone. So typically what you want to see is routes within 7 to 14 days. A lot of times. It's 7 to 10 days and then you'll try to grow them out a little bit in there to make the roots longer. It's not just that you see the little root beards and you're good to go and you can throw it in whatever Medium you're going to use you want to grow those roots out to maybe an inch or two or three or however long you want to go and eventually What you'll do is you'll take it out of the cloner and move it into your next pot. Whatever that's going to be whatever the medium is. And now you have a plant that's ready to go. Okay? Alright. Well, I mean and and that you know, really that leads me to my next question is is temperature water. Now how how important is the temperature water when it comes to cloning in, you know in your in your current setup. I think that is very important. If you use a deep water culture system aquaponics, like I'm using if yes, if the water temperature gets too high, you can develop what's called pythium and pythium is a fancy word for root rot. So what ends up happening is that you instead of having white, you know Hollywood teeth looking roots coming out of the bottom this thing now they're you know, Brown and nasty and gnarled like, you know some kind of hobos down on Main Street. Nasty looking and they stink and they're dying. They're done. They're infected. Now, what you could do is if you caught that early enough, you could change your Reservoir out and run it with some kind of sanitizer in it like a you see roots or a bleach or a H2O2 which is hydrogen peroxide to try to clean those up then, you know go back and build your Reservoir and go again, but sometimes I would say is better to just dump the res lose the Clones go take other cuts and start the process. S over again and watch your temperature your temperature your water doesn't you don't want it to go. I think it's 78 but you really want it to be lower than that. You want it to be, you know 7D would be great. You know, you don't need to put your clones under a big white so you can kind of play with that keeper cloner on the floor where the if you grow in your basement. You can keep it on the floor and the water is going to be cooler because it's on the floor sure, right, right. Okay. Well, I mean, yes, I had a question. I mean what happens if your water I mean Well what happens if your water is too cold, I mean what what a slow growth slow cooker and you know hydroponic system. Let's say that it may be not the cloner per se but if you were doing a Hydroponics grow and flower, some people would like to drop their temperatures down because that can make the plant Express itself in different colors. It will darken the colors and maybe bring out the purples and the blues and the oranges and stuff on it, but it does make it harder for the plant to really get going if you Down to like 49 degrees in your Reservoir, you know your plans are shocking and they're not growing. Right, right. Yeah, they need a little bit more a little bit more warmth. There are facing that issue. You could use an aquarium here a small one or whatever size. Your Reservoir is you know, we're talking a cloner. You just need a tiny one and you can set the water temperature to whatever you want. If that was an issue you could also use there's a thing called a Seedling pad that plugs into the wall. Have you ever seen? Those before I've I have seen those it's been a while since I actually look the one to be yeah that underneath of your cloner to if you needed to heat the water up on a poor man's method poor man's mouth another. Yeah. All right that keep on grow. That's the destiny baby exactly. Hey everybody. I know it's the middle of the show, but when this show ended skill bo1 and I continue to talk on the phone and I asked them a few important questions about cloning. So be sure to pay attention. Attention to his answers at the end of the show. Thank you. You know some I'll tell you what, I mean in terms of in terms of excuse me in terms of cloning in a aquaponic setup. I mean how much you know, I mean since my podcast is called Sheep Home grow. How much would you estimate that this all actually cost? Well, it's funny you ask that at the oxy clone or when I bought it. I bought it for 50. I think I got like Fifty four dollars at a discount. But I seen today I was looking. The podcast that some places are charging $80 for them. Really what you could do though. If you really wanted to give this a shot and go on the cheap with it since it's a cheap home grow. You could take a five gallon bucket or a small tote whatever you have that you want to use. I wouldn't get too carried away with it big because you know, you're going to need more pumps for it, but you could literally go get an aquarium pump and some are Stones I tend to use the ones that some people call them soda cans they are. Are probably four inches long and probably inch-and-a-half circular around so it's like a soda can in and you would plug those in and you're going to use those to aerate the water you're going to drop those into the res put your nutrient mix in there with it and you could cut little tiny holes in the top to accept these neoprene collars that are really cheap. You can get them at any hydro store. You can get really nice ones though to that are sterilized. Below the name of their company and that is I believe / McClung is expenses, but you can sanitize these in your microwave or in a steam pressure cooker or chemically, you know, the other ones not so much, you know, it's cheap replace them every time if you really want it to right, right? Okay. Um, how much is it worth to you to keep your genetics alive? If you have that one plant that is just fire for you. You're like, oh my God this just hits all the right notes for me it. It's great it grows. Well, it smells nice. It's very robust. I like this plan. Then I'm on a clone that plan. I don't want to just you know, let's say that it was a super silver haze. Well, how many other Super Silver Haze see to I need to pop before I can find that exact genetic copy and gives you that in space as you were taking a genetic copy of that plan and you can keep it in perpetuity. You can take a clone of a clone of a clone of it won't even though people say that you can't it. Yeah, I would say to those people that say that you can't take a clone of a clone. How is it that we have plants that are still, you know from the early 80s these Ancient Ancient plants that are still around because people are calling them now tree pumpkin seeds. Right? Right exactly. I mean, I've you know, a lot of Brands owned only. Yeah, right, right and and you know, I guess the big the big issue with cloning is and and you know, I mean some people that have come come come on my show that grow from soil have have said this, you know, I mean that you know, you don't really know you know where your clone is coming from whether they use pesticides and you know, so on and so forth, you know, whatever stories about that for sure. Yeah, right, right. And and you know, I'm really I mean, I guess I guess that is a valid point, you know, but I mean if you're if you are personally cloning your own Clone that say, you know, you you pop from seed if I popped it from speed. I know that it's clean. I know exactly what's been used on them. I know what I've done to it exactly. I mean that's I mean that's what I've always said about cloning. So I mean if if you pop the a seed and you're like, oh man this this I mean as as as you please if it's fire, you know, I mean shit, I mean you might as well clone it I mean, I mean, what's the I mean, I mean what the hell is the risk there? I mean, you know, right I know it's not Sometimes when you get something from someone else you have to realize it you Source a clone from somewhere else. The Clone is already adapted to their specific environment. Exactly. Oh life's their temperature there humidity everything about that that plant May thrive in their Garden, but it may take a cycle or two of you running it some parley for it to come around and adjust to your environment. But I typically now after having had to play the let's go find clones of something so that I have some kind of medicine to grow for myself. I've gotten to the point now where I have sourced my own genetic seeds and I just I'm on a few no hunt all the time. I'm currently growing out Ninja Fruit by Dojo sees I'm trying to see which one of those plants I have four of those and flower right now. I have something called Jinx proofs hit girl that I got at the Cannabis Cup this year and I'm trying to find out which ones are the keepers. So I've kept my data on my plants. To see which one grows strong and so once I cut those plants down and harvest them and I dry the smoke and I cure it and I try it then what I end up doing is it's a good old time. You try all four strains separately and you see which one works best for you. If you're going to use the plant as medicine, then these are the things that you have to do. You can't just say oh mrs. And smoke weed man. That's what I'm going to do. You can get a lot of different effects man. You really should do some research. I use Leafly. Kinds of different sites to check out these plants before I get them to see if it seems like it'll be worth while to grow out and clone and keep right, right. Well, you know something you you mentioned you mentioned Fina hunting there now, I mean how and again I mean this is coming from a home Growers perspective. I mean, how would you recommend that a person phenol hunt really, I mean, this could be an entirely different show really but I mean if you could Just talk a little bit about that. I would appreciate it. Okay, I'll give you a quick story. I went to the Cannabis Cup this year and I met a lot of people that I've followed online and stuff and it was a great time great energy picked up some seeds from a guy and I've wanted them for years. I had that before and my plant got sick and I couldn't get it to clone right never got out of it. So I had to let that strain go. I tracked it back down. I got a 10 pack of seeds. So I Took five seeds out of it and I drop them into a glass of RO water, which would be reverse osmosis. If you don't have that you could use tap water or you could use bottled water or whatever you want to do. I drop my seeds in there. Once they pop if if all five seeds crack open, then I take them out of there and I put them into a paper towel and put that paper towel with the water inside of a sandwich bag or a Ziploc container whatever you have drain the water out of it. So it's just damp after a few days. Those Tails will grow a little bit further and then you're going to go ahead and plant them in the dirt or whatever Medium you're going to use. This is what I've done. So I put them into small little, you know, half gallon containers to one gallons and right now their flowering I have some in a seven gallon. I have some in a five-gallon. I have some of the three-gallon the reason is I want to see what the plant wants to do. You know, I put my numbers in there. I numbered each At one through five and I put it on the label inside of each pot. So now what I've done is I took all the columns off of those and I kept those numbered one through five. So as n f for Ninja Fruit, so I have NF 1 through 5, and I ended up having one male so I had to kill that mail off got rid of it. And so now I have four ninja fruits that I am flowering out. I want to see what it's going to be like And I'm keeping all of those clones back in my bedroom waiting to see which of these plants are Keepers. Then I will get rid of the ones that I don't like. So right now like my number one. Ninja Fruit is really really really tall. It's really shut the sativa side of things and that's a cross between what is that? It's Grape Ape and grapefruit Hayes. So my number one plan is expressing the great great. Hey side of things big-time really tall, but I have another one. That's my Number four number four is really really short and bushy. So that's going to be expressing more of the Grape Ape side of things. So for me, I'm like, oh man, I need good pain medication and stuff, but I also have PTSD and stuff. So, you know a little kick to the mood is always a nice thing for me, right? No, you know, I don't want to just go with a hundred percent Indica. So you're going into this in you're looking for what you want out of a particular plant because no no two of those are the same. Same it's kind of like if you have five brothers and sisters, you're all from the same parents, but you're not the same. Right? Sure. So you have to find out which one's works for you. You get done you harvest those plans. You pull them down. You dry the smoke you cure it you smoke it and then you figure out which one you like the best and you'll definitely have one that you like the best. Keep that one. That's your mother plant. Now, you just keep calling that one take called off of it ten days before you flip that plan into flour. Then you grow those out and then ten days before. Those are going to flip into flower you take clones off of those and you just keep that's how you do a Perpetual growth. Right? Right. I mean, yeah, I mean if yeah, exactly I mean that can I mean that can last years and years and years. Really? Yeah, and you'll die within because you know, how long your strain takes. You know, I like some strains takes sixty three days strains take over 70. That's true. That's true there and you know something I mean, here's here's a question for you. Now. I mean you grow, you know in a aquaponic setup, right? Yeah, and let's say some Negroes in soil. Yep. That's what I flowering right now. Could you know since you grow in an aquaponics, could you take a clone from aquaponics and put it, you know into a soil? Yeah, that's what I do. Right. That's okay. All right, you can take your clone right out of there. You'll have your nice spiky roofs in the bottom. I like to take I don't I don't grow in Solo cups anymore. I just grow in like the square. I can't remember what size they are, but it's beautiful because you can fit eight of them into a cloning tray, you know to serve as like a reservoir to hold the water just to bottom water your plants, which is something you want to do with with the Clone once you put It into the dirt because you don't want to just keep watering the top and have the bottom be dry. You want those those roots to grow to the bottom of the pot so that you can size up your next pot and you can get a bigger and bigger root ball because the bigger the root ball the bigger the fruitball man. All right. Yeah. Sure. Sure. Yeah, it's something I mean, could you well, I mean, could you apply that to say to say a growing medium of Coco coir? Sure. Same thing same thing. Same thing same approach. Yeah, they're all they're all soil is materials one is If you use like pro-mix or Sunshine number for whatever those are just instead of being a Coco coir. Those are a peat moss and sphagnum mix, you know, like the bog material if you grow in cocoa that is sourced from the holes of coconuts. Yeah, that's are all that right and then you can grow and hide rotten which is the little tiny lava rock clay balls, you know, like if you grow in a hydroponic System if you were going to flower in that I used to use a 10 inch net pot which fits exactly on top of a five gallon bucket and you fill that you put some stones on the bottom. Then you put your clone in there. And then you put more Stones over top of it and that becomes your media. You don't have any nerve which is less shit to muck up the pumps or anything else. You know, right? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's all you know, it's all about it's all about keeping it keeping it pretty simple for sure. The definitely cuz you can definitely spend way too much money doing this and you don't have to write you don't have to break the bank. I mean you can go on Instagram and you can see these Growers that have just warehouses of you know, fantastic. But hey, that's awesome man. That's that's great. And I'm not knocking them. But I'm I'm a small guy. I'm just me. I'm not trying to break the bank. I'm just trying to produce something solid that works for me on a consistent basis that I know what is in it. I know exactly what it was done to I know what pesticides haven't been used on it, you know good to go. Exactly. All right. Well, okay. Well, you know, I mean I tell you what skill though. I mean are there are there any questions that I should be asking any any final statements that you would like to make final statements on cloning take from someone who was very poor at it in the beginning who has finally found a method that Works for him that's all it comes down to find a method that works for you at this and do it the the you can grow. However, you want to grow you can grow whatever you want to grow just grow your own. Don't break the bank don't get caught up in the hype games if things don't pooh-pooh other Growers or think that your way is the only way because it's not cannabis has been getting used for 10,000 years. You know what I mean? It's all we're trying to do is get it to flip over into Our and then wait for it to die. That's how simple it is. You're just waiting for the plan to die at the end. So you can Harvest it. Yeah, it's a pretty it's a pretty simple simple process. But I mean, it's like I mean I've I mean I've taught to man I've talked to well probably at this point a little less than a hundred Growers and wow, really? I mean, it's pretty it's pretty impressive. I mean, you know, I mean I can ask it's funny because I can ask The same question I get a hundred answers, right? Yeah. It's like in a sense. It's kind of like going down to the DMV, you know, like, you know, you you go down to the DMV you ask one clerk one question and then you go to the next Clerk and ask the same question and they give you two completely different answers, you know? Yeah Shane. I got a better one for you. Here's here's one you can remember. The only thing to Growers can agree upon is that a third Growers doing it completely fucking wrong. I know huh? Isn't that crazy and head gotta keep the hatred down there right? I know right? I mean that's it's kind of you know, it's kind of sad because I mean, I see a lot of guys and you know, I mean, I mean most, you know, most people, you know, the people that have come on my show they're they're all good people. They don't they don't give anybody any crap now and you know, that's not gonna do the can This community at that way, right? Right exactly as long you know, as long as we are helping one another and we grow together then you know, essentially that's that's what it's all about. For. Sure man. That's the cannon Community. Definitely that other kid that other community man. That's the cash cow Community brother, right? You don't need those are the people that are in it for cash. And those are the ones that are doing the dirt and shit, but if you're about to plant man you tend to be pretty mellow, right? Oh, yeah. Sure. Absolutely. I really just want to say thanks for that. We come on the show man. I really enjoyed it. I hope that I was able to even if I was just able to explain one thing to one person out there and that's a win. We're helping somebody else. You know, exactly exactly. Yeah. I mean, yeah sure. I mean, I know your own yeah. Yeah. Yeah exactly grow your own and you know, we grow together. So absolutely men and grow with me man. All right and writing that grow with me. Yeah. That's a good one. I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to keep it man Keith feeling It's all on you. Got it. All right, man. Hey listen, um, thank you again. And I hope to talk to you again soon. Absolutely. Thank you Shane. No problem. Hey, everybody after the recording ended skill bow and I continue to talk and some interesting questions came up. I figured they would be a nice addition to the show. So I figured I would record his answers. I asked him why he uses a aquaponics as a cloning system and what his recipe is for the oxy cloner. Enjoy his answers. Why? Is a aquaponic system good for cloning and then you know, why do you take that clone and then transfer it to soil? Well, the reason is because aquaponics to me is what I've had the best success with because literally it's something I cut I stick into the neoprene collar. I stick into the reservoir and the cloner does the rest of the work. I don't have to come back in. I don't have to remember to lift the lid off and let oxygen in is if I was using a clone Dome, I don't have to do any of those things. And you say well, why don't you just grow it all the way, you know from start to finish that. Way and I would say because in Michigan everybody thinks that it's just freezing fucking cold up here and it's not man. Like it's really bad in the summertime, you know, it'll get up to 92 94 96 degrees and then the humidity here will be like fucking 90% right? Yeah. So if I was trying to grow hydroponically from start to finish what I would have to do then is now it's not a cheap home grow now it's an expensive home grow because I've got to pay for an air conditioner so that I can keep my room. Teachers cool enough so that I can keep my reservoir temperatures, right or I have to spend $400 on a chiller. See we're making we're getting away from that cheap home growth. And again now, you know at the same time in the wintertime in Michigan is the prime time to grow hydroponically. I've done it in the past and I had great success with it. In fact what I have in my corner right now, is that hit girl that's just started into flour. Those are going To find the strongest one and I'm going to pop it into a deep water culture system and flowered out this winter and see what I get. What is the recipe that you use in your cloner? I got this recipe from Med grower on his YouTube channel, and basically what it says is that you use two gallons of either RO water or bottled water you add it to the cloner and then you add the you see Roots which is basically like pool shock or you can use H2O to Which is simple hydrogen peroxide or you can use bleach but I can't remember how little of bleach you use. What you're doing is you're sterilizing the water you making sure that nothing bad can grow in it. Okay. So then once you do you're going to turn the pumps on and you're going to let it cycle for a few minutes to sterilize then what I do is I add the whore Max which is my B1 vitamin as well as the grow and the bloom nutrients. I take my cuts. I put them in the neoprene collars and I'm off to the races. So that recipe is To use 20 millimeters of you see Roots which ends up being 10 milliliters a gallon I use six milliliters of whore Max at three milliliters a gallon. I use five milliliters of micro at two and a half milliliters a gallon and I use 10 milliliters of Bloom at five milliliters a gallon and so at the first sign of roots I dumped my res. I refill it with just water and the you see Roots again and the Clones are going to bust out New Growth the next day because they're searching for where those Your newts were in the original res. So you're going to do that for a few more days bang. It's Off to the Races and then you're putting them in your next medium, which for me would be soil putting them in the pro-mix putting them in the sunshine number for whatever you've grown your roots out that they took off you're done now. It's a matter of you know, putting them in the new medium shot in the corner down cleaning it sterilizing it. I personally I have my wife sterilize my corner for me. She does an Immaculate job of everything so So we kind of tag team that sure. All right. Now, I'm sorry good and lastly in spirit of the chief home grow. I will give you a method that will work. You just have to trust me if you go up to a plant in veg and you cut off a clone you don't need to do anything but stick it into a bottle of bottled water and stick it under a light and I think that you will have luck within 10 days. You should be able to get Roots off of that. So that's free, basically. Who doesn't have water? Yeah, right. Well, what time is it is it is a purified water or just simply tap water you could you could just tap water you get as long as it was like PhD, right if you weren't so you would pH that solution down. That's the other thing is, you know, if you're using aquaponics a lot of times they tell you to have your pH at 6.0 or below. I don't really worry about it too much. I figure it's kind of going to be what it's going to be if it drifts up a little bit, that's fine. But when I reset the res then I'll set it back to 6.0, you know and go. From there. Hey everybody.

I had the pleasure of talking to a Michigan home grower. This individual comes on the show today to talk about cloning. He can be found on Instagram @Skilbo1. I've been talking with Skilbo1 the past few days and I can tell he's passionate about growing his own and he's someone I know you will appreciate. He's a home grower from Michigan and his growing medium is soilless that is peat moss based, but what I found interesting is he uses quadraphonic to clone and then he transfers his clone to soil.
