I had them set up in a few plants that I ended up culling a week later, I never did get them dialed in.
I'm gonna try and set them up tonight at lights on.

It's easier to dial in with a blumat tensiometer, similar to the cones from the Tropf (drip) set but with digital display. Place it in the soil and make sure the value doesn't drop below 50, aim for 80 roughly.

Tnx Sativied, I'll look into the tensiometer. My plan to install them has been pushed back to tonight.
We'll see how that goes. :shock:

Local ski mtn opened today, so I had to get out there this morning.

To be completely honest, I wish I had your attention to detail Pie, then maybe I'd know what I'm doing right,
Lol.
As for the additives, my rez is 3gal, I use non PH'd tap water and add
5 ml KLN
10 ml Pro Tekt

When I remember, I change out to straight tap water after 7 days and let em go another week
Hope that helps

I just read. Alot. Then I regurgitate it. Lol.

I have the KLN in my amazon cart and will probably get it before I clone next time. Give it a go.

You can have all the attention in the world and still funk up because you are forgetful. That's why I read and keep notes. To reduce funk ups.

Damn auto spell.

Your plants and roots look beautiful. We don't get enough root pron on here.

My store bought cloner out does any DIY cloner i'v made, it's a cheap one but just works, may be the distance from sprayer to stem, mine is @ 3".
I use a clone king :

Does that produce a mist? My cloner seems to be like a lawn sprinkler.

BobBitchen · Nov 13, 2015

Yea, a fine mist, same mister for a few years now, it's a good reliable unit, imo

Does it measure the entirety of the soil moisture? Or just the top two inches?

It measures the force of the water tension around the ceramic carrot.

I believe the carrot can be buried at different depths.

@Sativied had a thread on the tensiometer, but I can't find it to link you.... Sorry!

I just googled it. Looks pretty cool. Could be something to get in the future. no more finger tests or lifting the pot.

The big buds gotta make the bud heavy. They're full of water after all. Would make flower watering less of a guessing game.

Yea it looks like it would take some of the guess work out on if they are staying moist enough or drying out,I'd like to read that link
