Did you try 2ml per gallon hydroguard in the cloner? Ill bet that would fix the slime/rot issue and youd get roots faster than in soil Back when i cloned in soil it always took one month if not more depending on strain and stem thickness. Now in my little water tray rooting plug cloner setup...

Good to hear it went well

Did you let her soil dry properly before flushing? If so how long does she usually go between waterings? Theres a couple ways to cause overwatering issues. One is the simple way, watering too often. Second is having a soil not airy enough or a plant not big enough for its pot either of which can...

They look great!! I dont use nutes until my plants show a problem or theyre already laying on bud. Even after they start flowering for a few weeks theyre in a stretch phase where they mostly grow upward and still need plenty of n so in my experience its better to feed veg feed even a bit into...

Ive never had an issue starting with 1/2 or 1/4 strength fertilizer and adjusting from there based on what the plants tell me but i respect your methodology. Somewhat scientific. Still i know ive never needed a tds meter and wont ever be using one in soil. Just the way i do stuff. Again you...

I suppose thats fair enough. Testing initial water quality. Still think its completely unnecessary. Now that i do have a meter i know ive been using WELL WATER that reads at around 200 ppm. I cant possibly imagine their tap water would be that high. Even if it was that doesnt tell you what it is...

Do you want to argue why? Or just say im wrong? Thats not very constructive or helpful. Please explain to me why i need a tds meter in soil.. My plants are fine.. (Pic below) Or explain whatever it is you think. Im doing just fine without it in soil. I do use an ec meter in my new dwc setup...

A tds meter is completely unnecessary in soil. Been growing in soil for years without one. Its used to monitor ppm of water, mainly used in hydroponics to know when the nutrient amounts drop or rise in the reservoir and when to add more nutrients or more water to balance it. In soil you cant...

Im surprised! Never had one pop after that long

Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. Works for supplementing magnesium and sulfer, there is no calcium. I still dont see where you guys keep getting the mg def. Is there some yellowing im missing? Or do you all mean to say he needs cal mag? It does include some magnesium but its mainly calcium for...

Its generally the first step if you believe you have lockout but its best if you let the pot dry out properly first. Of course wont help if your issue is ph. After doing a bit more looking into ca deficiency it definitely could be lockout caused by low ph. You want it up to 6.2 to properly take...

This being said i would never recommend miracle grow if you have other options.. https://www.rollitup.org/t/what-soil-to-use.945897/ Theres a good recent thread. you can check it out and if you need to im sure the op there wouldnt mind you asking a question or two

Cant find any info on that soil. Miracle grow can work fine as long as it doesnt have those slow release nutrients, doesnt nutrient burn your plant, and is the right ph. Tap water usually has enough ca, but i suppose its possible yours doesnt. Definitely check your ph and it never hurts to keep...

I think there would be other signs as well if it was ph issues. Im not seeing any other deficiencies except maybe a little phosphorous but almost everyone has those purple stems half the time. Not that i dont think he should check the ph but what makes you think its lockout? Also senior, what...

Cal mag will do the trick. Be careful not to apply too often. Too much ca causes lockout of a few other nutrients. I use general hydroponics ph up and down. Its best to buy a product made for the purpose although ive heard sulfuric/battery acid is very cheap and when diluted properly with...

I do. Almost everyday. I use softened water but it works just fine for my clones under the dome. Also dont bother phing. Never had a problem in my actual cloner from it. Always roots in a week or 2 at most.

Looks like calcium deficiency to me. Never had it though. Pics below are calcium deficiency. What kind of water are you using? Nutrient lockout would be caused by a buildup of Fertilizer salts in your soil, or a ph problem with your medium. If its salt buildup it would be fixed by runing a...

I put pieces of my cut plants in cups as decorations all the time.. Lol.. Theyve never rooted for me, always the stem rots first

Alright i havent had to adjust the ph since the initial adjustment. At 12 days since the res was first filled. Going to change every 2 weeks. Very convenient, it never went above 6.0. Stopped right there. After getting the ec meter i got a reading of .7. Next day came out around .6. Today i...

Thats odd. I use a dome with good results in 100% humidity. Humidities relatively high here but ive found the dome always helps. Only once had problems with it and that was cause fungus gnats got in
