your bin should never smell stink .... should have an nice earthy smell .... when you mix the bokashi and one shot , do you top dress with bokashi ? then spray slf100 if soil is not to wet , but should have "white fuzz " growing .....

it did have the fuzz but as i dug into it , it smelled bad ..and nope on the slf 100 and its already smelling better I had it locked up toooo tight...... I did hit it with a mist of em-1 and I mixed it everyday for the last couple days... i think im good now il turn it and check in a week and see how it is,the other ones are perfect all smell of earthy love

Cloning is tricky. I miss seeds lol.

2 out of 3 died. But the one that rooted.. Ive never seen such fat fuzzy roots before. Incredible. Its been just getting Zeus/kelp + MagAmp + Rootzone. Wonder why the others died and its crushing it.

They root within a few days or wont. My guess is mother health has been a big issue. Mag def plants likely dont root well.
Maybe its the dome. Eds coco guide said not to use one. Guess we will see how the recent PP cut does.

Cloning doesn't have to be hard.....mother health is important!! It's beneficial to foliar your moms the day before with aminos, fulvic, magnesium, kelp and microbes. Have all cloning tools ready and CLEAN, rooting gels are prolly the most full proof and sometimes needed for difficult cuts. I use aloe, SLF & Dr root in plugs, with a dome and optional heat mat. Soak plugs in above ingredients, while taking 6" healthy cuts from top growth, make cuts just below a node(the most stored plant hormones are in the nodes), store cuts in a solution of aloe water(over night is very beneficial!), Ring out the soaked plugs and place in tray, then prep the cuts; leaf strip & 1/2 leaves plus skin(damage) the tissue at the bottom node(i just use scissor edge), then dip in gel or into a fresh cut aloe plant spear and stick the plugs(try not to poke it thru the bottom of plug, you want the scarred node to sit just below the plug surface so it has optimal air access!!) . Now, with all cuts stuck, I like to take at least 4 per strain, spray the lid of the dome with plain water and set with all air vents closed. I place on a heat mat and cover the dome with some newspaper and place under a 40W LED strip light(NO DIRECT LIGHT TILL ROOTS FORM). After 24 hrs, pull dome and fan cuts with newspaper, open vents 1/4 turn - spray dome - replace......continue this for 4 days opening the vents a little more each day so by day 5 you can test their strength by removing the dome completely(if they start to droop just spray lid and place back until they stand back up).....Its a hardening off period for the humidity change. You shouldn't have to water the plugs at all the first 5-7 days, they will obviously begin to dry once dome is removed. I like to keep a gentle fan to move & keep fresh air around the clones and still don't give them any direct light!!(too much light will stimulate leaf growth and there is NO roots or nutrients to support so they get gnarly). The indirect light will allow for root growth. Now its just time and proper plug moisture levels to complete the rooting process. Using plain water or aloe or Dr. Root to rewet, allow the plugs to dry some and the cuts to just start losing turgor then lightly water(ROOTS WONT GROW IF CONSTANTLY SATURATED), I also like to get a couple fulvic acid foliars between day 7 - 10 as it promotes fibrous lateral roots. By day 10 you should see roots poking out the sides and bottoms, now they can handle more direct light and begin to see top growth. Forget the Zues & kelp, they are not necessary and IMO are too strong for cloning. Dr. Root drenches are all that is needed to support clone growth from day 10 - 14, and or, to transplant. If Dr Root not available, then just use a couple mls of Gaia to keep deficiency at bay. I usually have 100% success rate using these methods, the most important window is that first 4 days, the hardening off, then finding that air to moisture ratio of the plugs and it's full proof!!

For sure. Will give this another read when im more awake.

At least the mk ultra plant is growing really nicely. Can see daily progress.
Its still craving more mag, need to up its dose. But over all i can tell ill be flipping it into flower in less than 14 days. So thats rad.

when cloning , soak plug in Bigfoot con , cutting go into dr root for 20 min to half hour then in the plug under a humidity dome with temp set 75-77 degrees , as plugs dry. , re wet with slf , and foliar full power .... with winter coming and humidity dropping you can kill or go into shock if taken out quickly .... dont feel bad I just killed all my cones but thats because the my humidity dome was at 83 degrees .....

I should get a heat mat. Its getting cold af in the house. Its mid 60s in here.

Trying. Been a frustrating few months. Things are looking way better with increasing mag though.

blah - mk ultra looks droopy. I just cant get this to work... I dont blame the nutes, its something im doing.

I think I may just go back to salts. I got great results with maxigrow/bloom.

Its been one year of using NFTG and only 1 plant grown. Im not sure if i can keep investing time when its failing so hard.
I love the idea of organic, but this is just becoming depressing af. I need results, I need meds. :/

feel bad but... what can you do you know? Just in pain. Its really demotivating.

Yah, I'm gonna grab some salt today. Dont get why you all crush it, and i suck... But thank you all very much for your time, and knowledge.

I did learn a lot, and really appreciate it.

sometimes you gotta think out of the box , even tho the feed schedule is there doesn't mean you gotta follow it .... some has to do with your watering and envoriment , yes nectar is a learning curve , but well worth it .... im not gonna BS anyone , nectar is labor , but its only as hard or as easy as you make it but what ever you choose to do , best of luck with your garden !!!!

I think NFTG's is a fine product line and I truly do believe in it, and I do feel I have some nice healthy plants. My reason for the switch is purely financial, right now I got 7 plants and am working on expanding my little operation and soon will have 12 to 16 at a given time. Granted I am stocked up on some of the base nutes, I still plan to play with it a little.

Wasup guys ✌,hope all is well. I feel while the learning curve is night and day if coming from salts, one should have success with basic organic soil knowledge. I ran 3 gallon kinda smart pots my last run that really were no better then plastic nursery pots. Lesson learned! This round I am in 5 gallon smart pots with #4 soil and I am concentrating on keeping a diverse microbe life in the soil. Last run I was concentrating on pushing the plants as hard as I could and while I did see good results, it was far from easy. Good thing is I now feel way more comfortable not doing flushes and slurry test all the time its so much easier to read the plants now. When starting a new line its natural to feel lost when seeing deficiency or toxicity but as long as you follow through and not throw more gas on a fire and give up, its a valuable experience that prepares you for the next time it happens. Pebble Pie turned out real tasty last round so I am flowering 2 of them and then a cut of GG4 that I recently acquired for this round. should have some pics this week, I have been training them to fill out the canopy so I haven't taken any yet. ✌

Well I guess I am going to be around this thread a little while longer! I made another decision this morning pertaining to NFTG. I am running really low on Olympus Up and was about to buy a quart off Amazon to get through this grow, almost bought it...... I checked on OCG it see what it would cost to get it there.... Shipping from OCG is a killer unless you spend $150, so I told myself that is at least what I had to spend, and bought 5 more gallons....

Still going to check out Mega Crop but still going to grow certain genetics with NFTG, I guess I'll have two grades of smoke on hand. Plus here is my current grow at day 35.

This stuff is too good in my opinion to let something like some money to get in the way. I am #NECTARFAM.
