60 Plant Grow Setup

The plants were clones rooted in an ez cloner with roots of at least 7 inches long then they vegged for 4 weeks. At that point the average height was 30 inches.
well on my hydro grows, If I veg for a week from clone i would get a maximum of 0.5 oz per plant. Two weeks is an ounce, three weeks is 1.5oz and 4 weeks is 2oz.

through my experiments I have noticed a distinct pattern between veg time and eventual yield. A lot of other things come into the mix that can lower your yield. Like, say growing in soil. Although the 1000w lights may help compensate for this, but the roots still have much harder to work to get the nutes.

I didn't realise these were clones. It seems that during veg' you gave the plants too weak doses of nutes. I've had clones potted up for just a few days and given them 1.2ec. Clones are as old as the mother they came from, and I believe that the reason I see a lot of purple stems on this site is because people are feeding too weak nutes. A big plant and a little plant, both the same age. Do you feed one less nutes, or just less water? The answer is, you feed less water. The concentrations of nutes should stay the same.

In your case trenton this undernuting has built up over 4 weeks, and that's a lot of undernuting.

Best thing you'll ever buy is an ec/ppm meter.

Hey everyone. I havn't even had time to catch up on my own thread yet. I owe you guys a bunch of current pics so here they are. This is the 4th day of flower. I have cut 60 clones and placed them in the clone machine (View Pix).
i see an a/c on ur pic.
but where's the exhaust for it, where the hot air from air exchange goes?

Stem on page 95 are about 25 new pics of the plants, new lights, and ez cloner full of 60 clones.

Wow trenton, I just saw those lasts picks! Keep up the good work and blaze a J for me when you harvest that shit, so jealous.

That is very interesting. The former part of your statement, referring to veg time is something that I've recently tried myself. My first cheese attempt here had a 16 day veg in 15L pots from clone. They reached an average height of 30inches but had few bud sites. This time I have vegged for almost 60 days, only in pots half the size, and the amount of sites is practically double, though the plants are exactly the same heights (probably Geno/Pheno specific). I can only assume more sites can be equal to more consumable product?

As for the age of clones, I've always believed the latter part of your statement. I've recently been giving EC1.2 to all my cloned plants after propagation and I've seen relatively rapid growth in comparison to other methods I've used. I'll soon be feeding my latest batch of cheese clones EC1.2 once they are rooted and will continue to use that method indefinitely. I've seen it work, only to find out that not continuing the high EC regime into the bloom phase leads to numerous deficiencies.

Good post IMO!
