Supp all just thought id share a few things which may help peeps out quite a bit just getting ready to clone, germinating and what I've found works best to date with the usage of these sponges in my system. Not going to get into what's better I've used rockwool no problem just a lil harder to keep ph'd proper at least for me and I do see a lot of peeps with overwatering issues stunting growths on there clones and new beanlings especially with the rockwool if anything its for the more advanced id say so that being said.
I'm gonna show u a simple way to use the sponges in this system at this point it honestly couldn't be much more easier.
STARTING WITH THE CLONES:
I'm presoaking my sponges in tap water squeezeing them out a bit to get the stagnant air and Moisture out from there I'm takeing my cuts and putting them in the sponges no scrape, no dip in any kind of rooting hormones nothing. I turn my plugs over stick a steak skewer in the top take it out put the cut where the skewer was and bam once the cuts are placed in the sponge as described I give them 5-10 ml of water/feed which I take directly outta the reservoirs the moms live in that the cuts are being taken from that's right!
Moms res ph'd at 5.8 feed ranges anywhere from 9-1300 just depends on what stages the moms are in When the cuts being taken. Watered once daily with 5-10 ml of water daily into a tray and dome and getting roots within 3-7 days sometimes a lil longer who cares.
Point is this and it may prolly mess a few peeps heads up but not only am I getting roots but my clones are Comeing along niicely and actually growing while rooting! And most of the time. Look. Better than The moms the cuts. Are being taken from once they root.
Enjoy I wish I could make things a lil harder I know its just too simple.
Here's the clones I'm talking about here.
Enjoy beanlings are up next
