Clonemaster Paul! Glad to see everything moving right along!

Hey, folks. Not much happening in the grow shelf, just seedlings growing.
Have been reluctant to take pictures until something interesting happens!
Sorry to be absent from everyone's glogs recently, but I am sending good
vibes out to everyone! Did ya feel that?

Great to read bout your SB MoA’s Paul, mine don’t even have leaves yet but one popped in 5 days and second in 6. I feel like all 6 of 6 will eventually pop seeing how quick the first 2 did but only time will tell. I can’t wait till mine have leaves like yours, great job on every ting mon!!!

With my luck the good bugs would show up and being so small I’d be lunch
Good point, maybe I'll reconsider that!

How are those MoA's coming, Ramon? They should be
starting to put on some leaves by now. Hope our grow is
going well, buddy.

Great update as usually Paul, as someone else said, you are the cloning "King of Peppers" here. I see you've added a few extra super hots to the list. Many shades of green with your seedlings. The medium looks a bit wet. Have you fed the soil or sprayed the leaves with anthing, yet?
Ha........where's the food shots...just kiddin..............................not

Hi Greg, thanks for the look. I had just finished watering when
I took those pics. I have been bottom watering the cells; half
the time with 1/4 strength fish, guano. kelp, and CalMag. Some
of the varieties do better in my set up than others. If they want
to grow here, they have to adapt I'll be transplanting in the
next week or so.

Looking good Paul G Money. I see lots of work in your near future for the greater chili nation !!!!

Hey, Jamie! How's the Main Man doin? I hope all the varieties make it.
Speaking of work, one of my goals this season is to cut down on the
hand watering. That took an inordinate amount of time last season.
Also, I am thinking of using a commercial mix with some ferts already
in it to cut down on the fertilizer mixing until they are potted up into their
final places later in the Spring. I'm getting lazy in my old age!

Looking very good Paul. and the games beginnnnnn

Hello, Pia! Two Congo Trinidad Yellows still in the mix! Can't
wait to try one fresh off the plant! Hope your grow is off to a
good start.

Wow you are really turning green!!! Keep them pics coming.

Hey, Bodeen, how's the fishin'? I want to get out and do some fly
fishing this year. My dad left some really fine gear behind and I'd
like to keep the rods limber! If I'm turning green, it's because I am
envious of some of the spectacular grow set-ups on the forum!

Dang Paul! 11 Pages deep already.....smh it's going to be a long year lol. Glad things are going well. I love the grow box, nothing ghetto about it...it's perfect to me. I've failed at every clone attempt I've done...think I might have to go back and read the beginning of your 2012 Glog...

I'll be watchin' ya! Hope you have a great season.

Always good to see the 3/5 man stop by! The grow shelf is working
pretty well. I've had lights on 24/7 for the heat, but now it's warming
up a few degrees, so will go back to the 18/6 schedule as I transplant.
Try Trippa's method for cloing, if that works for you, it will be the
simplest solution!

Man, how did I miss this last update?! Those guys are growing fast! I knew those garden seeds of yours would come up well. The seeds from the pod you sent me came up like winners!

Glad to hear the seeds are doing well. How'd the last batch germinate?

Hi Paul
In the end, I put together a grow box out of three quarter inch styrene foam faced with foil and held together with duct tape It's down in my unheated cellar. It looks a lot like your grow shelves, but it sits on a tabletop and I cut slots in the top board so I can still raise and lower the shop lights to conform to the growing plants inside. It holds heat amazingly well... the waste heat from the T8 and T12 tubes raises the temperature inside from an ambient temp of 50 degrees up to 80. Pretty cool huh?

Rick! Glad to hear you jumped on the styro grow box band wagon!
Sounds like it's just the ticket for those heat loving seedlings. I'll visit
your glog to see a picture of the set-up. That styrene board is the
cat's pajamas!

So vibes are what I was feeling...good, though for sho I was coming down with something!

 

[WalkGood]

Whoa dem quotes are hard to follow hmm "Clonemaster Paul" I like that nic ...

 

[Sanarda]

Yup felt the vibes. Thought I was slightly intoxicated but it was too early in the a.m.

 

[PaulG]

Moved a couple of quotes down to this post to
avoid the boring quote tags.

Seem to be moving right along! I may have to take a page out of Paul's book and clone one or two that I only have one of...but I'm gonna wait for some side shoots I think??? Although all the accidental topping my plants took last year seemed to do them some good??? Always a fun and interesting read over here Paul! Keep 'em rockin buddy!
Shane

Howdy, Shane! Go for it on the clones, buddy! With your mad
garden skills, they should take right off! I'll be piching some of
my plants again this year, not so much for clones, but to make
a bushier shrub. The ones I pinched last season made great plants.

wow wow wow... looking sweet!

Thanks, Lourens; I appreciate the positive energy!

Clonemaster Paul! Glad to see everything moving right along!

Hey Steve! The little MoA's are looking nice and healthy.
Will post up some pics after transplanting. Good growin', buddy!

So vibes are what I was feeling...good, though for sho I was coming down with something!

Yup felt the vibes. Thought I was slightly intoxicated but it was too early in the a.m.

Now that's "spooky action at a distance!"
Always glad to oblige!

Whoa dem quotes are hard to follow hmm "Clonemaster Paul" I like that nic ...

Yeah, had too many quotes in the post for the quote police to tolerate!
Hope this works better for ya, Ramon! The hydro and aerogarden guys
should be called the clonemasters. I don't think anything roots cuttings
faster than the spray buckets.

I felt the force this morning as well Thank you Zen master

[patrick]

12 pages already? Teachers pet.

 

[PIC 1]

I'm sure the plants have doubled in size by now.....Either back up or put the wide angle lense on, otherwise you may not be able to fit all the plants in the photo.......just toying with ya.
Looking forward to the plant and the foodie shots.

 

[Trippa]

Mr Paul G .... photos and update please ... you know this sort of behaviour won't be tolerated

 

[Sanarda]

TELL HIM TRIPPA. I mean really. Who does he think he is?!?!?!?!?!?
