they will all be ok i think , after i changed every res in the place outand all mediums flushed,the clones have started popping roots out all over the placeso everything should be fine, i just hope that the clones i put in flower a few weeks ago weren't too stressed out, the big girls are relatively unscathed
Good to hear you're back on track.

I started a lil hempy finally.
I used a 14 gallon tote and put 5 clonse in there.
1 of each 707 HB, Purple Kush, Gods Gift, Purple AK47, and a Cindy99
Maybe Ill put up a pic if you dont mind.
I didnt yet since they are yellow from a water only diet in the cloner for over 3 weeks lol.
If I dont kill em Ill do some 2 or 3 ltr ones as well...rooting now
Oh started my ppm at 450 approx

I like the big tote, should get a good root structure in there. Why the 3 litre instead of 2?
I'm thinking of using 5 litre pots to get a better root structure.

I hope so on the tote.
3 ltr since it was only 99cents for the soda and 50% bigger lol.
I dont drink soda, so I poured it out and rinsed the bottle lol.

Free doesnt mean not good!
I hope she is top notch!!
I noticed straining my perlite that is about 20% pepples,,,rock, not perlite.
Is that normal or because I got the cheapest brand?

I wouldn't say that was normal at all, if they are just big white lumps of perlite which are quite reflective then they should be ok, if they are not white like perlite, and just look like rocks and stones, then i don't know.
I always buy the 100l sacks and its all pretty much the same grade, i know that any given perlite can expand from something like 5 times to 15 times the size when heated and theoretically all grades could be used
one day the perlite will run out on planet earth and then what will we do, maybe use small rocks

I filled the 14 gallon tote half full with perlite and then filled 3 inches from top.
I washed the perlite dunking it etc....
I skimmed the perlite out.
I drained the water out and a pile of stones fell out...grey and black a lil bigger than sand. Not perlite dust but heavy solid rock!!
I thought the bag was super heavy, but never bought perlite b4.
Maybe Ill take a pic of the rock next to the spilled perlite for comparison.

yes that material is good. I find little pebbles in the perlite I buy all the time.

I figure they are cutting corners, as floating the perlite is an easy way to skim the lower quality matter.
Sure makes it lighter in the pot!
I potted another 3 ltr last night. This one was a Tahoe OG. She fell over an hr after potting. Shock I guess?
She stood back up by this morning though so I think she will be fine. None of the other strains had any Ill effects though.
I find my cut at least of Tahoe to be really sensitive nute wise, slow rooter and now the tyransplant shock.
I hope the smoke is worth this headache!!
