The droop pic was the first few hours after I took them, they’re still perky 48 hours later so I’d say luck is on my side so far this time “man”Man you don’t have any luck do you.
got anymore valuable input? If not we’ll just dead this thread, I think I’m going to be okay this time around, rock wool just didn’t work for me
Did you soak your rockwool in 5.5ph water?Okay so no luck with the rock wool, tossed it and built a bubbler, looking good so far but this is first time trying this and cloning in general for that, here’s a before and after 24 hours, anyone got bubbler experience and can give estimate on rooting times? Will new growth be an indication? Don’t want to be messing with them a lot, thanks for the help
I think the ph soak is a myth I soak mine in tap at 7.2. Also bubble clone with tap. No issues.
Def not a myth. Rockwool should be buffered at 5.5. Not saying you'd never get roots with any other ph just that rockwool is supposed to be fed at a lower ph for uptake. Each medium has its own parameters for ideal conditions. 5.5 is just ideal for Rockwool. So your cloning time and success rates would improve if running within those parameters.
Not a myth, this is bad advice
My tap water is 620 ppm out of the fawcett. I don't even drink it. RO water is it for me. Starting with a clean slate is the only option for me. There are some places in the country that are perfect, but not here. Lol
I use ro, ph 5.5 always.
Sure when feeding u need to pH,cloning theres no need.Ive proven it several times on here.Maybe my tap water is just right?
Healthy moms for the win
just using tap water is fine... but what saying 7.2 is fine suggest is setting your pH to 7.21 would be fine...where it works i wouldnt tell some one optimal is whatever or 7.2.
Agreed, i wouldn't recommend a ph of 7.2 that's only the ph of my tap water.
