Clones a-growin'

[lordj]

These are Mango clones from a single Mango Mom. After she flowered, I harvested her and put her back in veg mode. For the clones, I cut 9 lower stems, dipped them in Root Tech gel, put them in Rapid Rooter plugs under a dome for 11 days, with a some indirect CFL lighting. 6 survived. Then, I put them in 16-oz cups using FF Ocean Forest soil with Perlite for 2 weeks (too long, they got root bound) and finally transplanted into these 3 gal. pots with the same soil. Lighting is 16 150W CFLs and a 430W Philips SON Agro bulb. I see why people use square pots; way more space efficient. They've been growing an inch a day. Will update with pics in week or so.
