root mass, varietals, how close the heater was.......
tough to say
Yeah the humidifier thing is a bitch; when you can afford it get another one. Hey we all do the best we can with what we have and our budgets. Nothing wrong with that.
what i always do is take em to the bathroom, mist them, maybe even water if they need it. I never worry about cold if it's too cold sure but 20c ain't gonna shock a plant
years ago guys were saying that if you watered with cold water right out of the tap the plant would be shocked. not true
there is still a lot of misinformation out there. the problem is a lot of guys have never grown anything. i guess they feel that they need a lot of 'rules' because they know so little. people say a lot of stuff that isn't true. I've done things that people say can't be done. All as part of my learning process. 75% of what people say about cloning or seedlings is frequently false. Guys say peat pucks suck. They work great for some varietals but not others. I doon't know why. Rockwool should weigh 5x it's dry weight. Anymore and it's too wet and success won't occur. Even still, some seeds don't do well in rockwool. I'm still trying to figure that one out. LOL
Here's one for you: at a certain point in cloning if i don't see roots i stop watering the rockwool. people will tell you this doesn't work. I let the cube dry up. Almost completely. The plant is now forced to put out roots or die. they almost always do it. Do it recommend this to everyone. no. it's a strategy i learned by observation.
Another one. you can't feed seedlings or clones at the same nutrient levels as a full grown plant. you can. A seedling with 1 true set of leaves is ready for 1000 ppm. A clone with roots? the same. But, other factors must be present: 1000 watts at 36'', good temps and rh, etc.
That's why i referred you to those sources. If you will read them, you will start to 'see' what is happening in front of your eyes and know what to do because you understand. I'm not knocking other people per se. What i am doing is trying to encourage you and anyone else to learn enough that you can then teach yourself. I've read thousands of pages over the years. I'm not saying you have to do that now. Just be committed to learning and be skeptical in a healthy way.
I'm not a prick but i am firm on certain things. I leave debunking up to other guys. I try to help guys out so that they can be successful and i do it selectively.
Part of what i try to impart to people is to be scientific. If you walked into riu and randomly read you could easily form the idea that this plant is unique (it's not-grows just like tomatoes in many ways) and that you should immediately start attacking the plant and ripping fan leafs off (bad idea).
Sorry dude. I am a pretty funny guy. I didn't mean to be so intense. I guess i"m trying to help people because my own learning process was long and painful: had bad info, got duped by morons at hydro stores, you name it I've been there.
Good luckl
