24hrs...

I believe some gentle water circulation should maintain sufficient oxygen levels for cloning.

I'm trying a power head aquarium pump instead of the air pump and curtain stones, they work great but there's a slight noise penalty from the pump i could live without, if works great if it doesn't it's no big deal.

Let's see how it goes?

Star Dog · Feb 10, 2022

Gentle agitation appear to work just fine.

Potted
9th Feb.

Wed 9th...
Re potted bc clones
Thurs 10th...
Re potted seedlings.

Clones look shit = 10 days more recovering instead of a seamless continuation of growth :-(

Star Dog · Feb 19, 2022

10 days further on.

6 seeded plants to the left, clones to the right.
The roots are sufficiently established now for flowering (3ltr pots)

They've been under hid/fluo for the temps but I'll be changing to led for flowering this week.

Seed sown January 11th

Clones cut Jan 27th

I'm on a roll now to finish up for the day I've tied them down.

I've defoliated one of the clones to see how it goes.

They might not look the same size/height etc but they are or were.

Strip it each week the same, it will grow vigorously and with an atypical growth structure

Star Dog · Mar 9, 2022

A mars Tsl2000 and 2x 240w 3k boards running at 650w between them.

Seed plants at the left clones at the right.

Clones 18 days 12-12

Plants from seed...

It's coming along nicely :bigjoint:

dynospec · Mar 9, 2022

Looking good, I love that time in flower when they are shooting out so many pistils I think it's so pretty

Star Dog · Mar 13, 2022

I've a couple of clones/plants I don't want growing quickly they're mothers for my next run and it's months away.

My 4x T5 unit was maintaining ideal conditions for good growth rates so last week I swapped the T5 unit out and put in a 240w 4k led @35w,
temps 20/21c

Growth has slowed down but they still look healthy enough - 0.8ec/ph6.0

I'll see what happens bongsmilie

They were fine for around a week then a couple of days ago I looked and knew something wasn't quite right.
I tested the ec expecting it to be a little high... 0.8ec in and 0.2ec out?
I've since fed it 8-10 times with 1.0ec + 0.2 calcium chloride and magnesium sulphate and still getting 0.2-3ec run off and 0.4ec after a few more feeds.

I'll see what happens?

blueberrymilkshake · Mar 18, 2022

Rootin' for you, bud.

Star Dog · Mar 18, 2022

I fed them again at 7.30pm with 1.2 a+b ph 6.0 the run off was 0.4ec

I'm still seeing good root growth considering the 20c temps, with a bit of ec fine tuning they'll be fine I'm sure, I'll give them a week or so and take it from there.

Star Dog · Mar 19, 2022

Erm... no improvement today again I've gave the two plants a soak of 1.2ec and got 0.4ec back out, I gave them another soak and got the same 0.4 again (I'm getting pissed by now) so I used the flowering nutrient 1.5ec and gave them a soak with it...you guessed 0.4ec out?

Clones look better with some dim lighting I find 4xT5s a bit much for clones.

...

March 19th
Eta... Fed them again at 7.30pm 1.2 + 0.2 epsom 0.5ec out.

Star Dog · Mar 26, 2022

It's time to abandon trying to fix it during low temps I've got some clones that need caring for and I also need to clone the two plants for the next run.

I've cut them back and put them under T5s.

That was a week feeding 1.5ec multiple times daily and couldn't get the ec to level out???

Before cutting it had improved a bit.
