40+ lbs with 12 Plants in 2 Rooms on a Flip

Water here is extremely clean right from the tap; only EC .05

As I mentioned earlier EC does not measure soluble nutes, like for example soluble forms of Manganese. It was only by testing my water I found out my water contained manganese 500 x the EPA limit in a form that is soluble and passes through RO filters. Using ozone I made it precipitate as a solid in the water and could filter it with carbon. Science wins!

That would show up in adult plants and it doesn't.

It must also be said that others use the same local water supply and do fine with their clones.

It showed up in my plants. Who are you to say it didn't? I live in the Canadian shield and most of my water passes through granite. I definitely noticed it and corrected it.

And my point is EC does not measure everything in water.

And I am fucking jealous! LOL

It's a big reason why growers come to Colorado to grow; clean water.

And your point is well taken. Yet I'm reasonably sure my troubles can't be traced to the water, or others would be having problems as well. Alas, I'm the weakest link...

I dunno, I guess I am not one to sit down and say I suck. I will just make it work no matter what. And I can't believe you are one to just say, "well that's me, I suck", lol.

I'm still trying, believe me!

How long did it take to see roots? I swear the very first signs of roots was in 3 days on last run. It was small but it was there. After about 10 they were all rooted and at 17 they were insane long. But the growers were to lazy to transplant. Like after they started at about 7 days each day was so different from the last that i could hardly believe it[/QUOTE]

As a stated I had the water too cool, it took a total of 20 days.

1/11/19 Started showing noduels at day 11, this was two days after installing the aquarium heater @ 75 degrees.

1/20/19 Transplant day.

I think if I had put the heater in there at the start of the cycle I would have been able to transplant much sooner.

Next cloning cycle I will be more prepared, have bigger mothers to take larger clones.[/QUOTE]
The pump alone will keep the water at 79 or 80 degrees if u keep it on 24/7. At least mine did.

I usually let mine root for about 20 days but they are a little slower being cut in flower for monster cropping. I also want really long roots when I transplant otherwise they can sorta just stagnate for a while instead of taking off.

Anyone using Ful-Power?

I had r9ots 18 to 24 inches at least after 17 days. But i clipped them to make easier to transplant. I noticed a somewhat slow start on taking off tho.

Yeah dont clip the roots, just make them fit. I like to leave about an inch and a half of soil not in the pot, spread the roots so they cover the exposed soil in multiple directions, even swirl them, then add the remaining soil and water. They have roots going down from all directions then. Use big pots too, that helps. lol

So I think I am gonna try GH Ripen on this cycle.

Any thoughts? Seems to be right up my alley since it has the high P and K.

Larger clones prob better. What would u consider a large cutting? 8inches? 12inches or more?

What's up bro?

Hope all is well.

I'm good, how are you doing?

Been working hard on a few projects non grow related around here. Otherwise just the same old shit, different day lol. Girl and I dropped some lucy and went to a pink floyd laser show the other day. It was awesome, we met a few people there that we just made eye contact with and it was sorta unspoken that we all knew that we all were frying. We had one of her friends that doesn't do anything but weed drive us and we bought her a ticket. Hadn't done that in many years. Usually we just drop at home.

Haha nice, sounds like you both had a good time.

I'm doing good bud, similar to you, busy doing stuff non grow related.

I been swamped with work lately, the weather is getting nice now so my crazy busy season begins. Plants are cruising along, new room is waiting for them to be done and then I'll put it all together.

I did just pop 10 beans from @Useful Seeds in preparation for the new room.

How's your grow doing?

 

[Renfro]

How's your grow doing?

It is doing very well. I need to unlazy my ass and get pics and post an update soon. This run looks like it's gonna be a 40+ pounder. Some of the bigger tops are starting to just lay down on the top trellis to bask in the light.
