Jane’s Babies

This “Week” will cover August 13th to Aug 31st 2021. This is a back tracking on my notes. August 13 Day 15 -No water -Increased light intensity to the 3rd notch at 22” above canopy -Playing the waiting game -Keeping plastic bag on top to keep RH up Day 16 *NOOB ALERT* -Watered all five clones with straight reverse osmosis water and did not PH the water Note: this is around the point where I started getting fed up with RO because you can’t PH reverse osmosis water the PH pen just doesn’t get a reading because there’s nothing in it. I gave it just straight RO on watering days. Definitely this time line was a learning moment in my growing -Keep bag over plant still -Let them be Day 17 -Still not looking too hot -No water -Still waiting to see what they do Day 18 -Don’t look good at all and probably cooked Note: I tried to make a homemade fungicide for the transplant. I made it with water and vinegar and I didn’t ratio anything I just made a mix and sprayed the plants. Yeah so it’s around this time they’re starting to look poopy and I’m internally accepting that I may have cooked them. Day 19 -Feeling the same that they are not well -No water -2334 clones 4 and 5 are maybe looking like they’ll pull through August 18th Day 20 -Today I got my Apogee PAR meter in the mail -Dialled the light in at 18” above canopy (good thing my notes don’t contain a value of PPFD wouldn’t have been helpful, no!?) -No water today Day 21 -Watering pots 3, 4 and 5 one litre each with a little epsom salt with a little bit of Lotus Grow nutrient. -6.11 PH 96 PPM one litre per plant -No run off information -Plants 1 and 2 are moist enough Day 22 -Clones are starting to turn for the better -Took bags off to harden them off -No water for any plant Day 23 Note: This is where I no longer mess with RO. It’s been nothing but problems for me. My tap water on a bad day is at around 74 PPM so I’m pretty confident in my tap water quality which normally sits at 62-64 consistently. -Clones 1 and 2 get straight tap water at 6.5 PH 63 PPM -3, 4 and 5 no water -Continue to monitor and let them be Day 24 -Overall starting to think positive about all 5 clones -Looks like they’ coming around and turning for better -No water Day 25 -3, 4 and 5 get 700 ml tap water -6.25 PH - 61.4 PPM -No runoff Day 26 -No water -Just one of those let them be days -All doing somewhat well Day 27 -Did an epsom salt foliar spray -No water -All showing signs of progress -All look relatively happy Day 28 -No water -All looking well -Some leaves have a few rust spots on them -Soon maybe time to start feeding Day 29 -No water -Regular vegetative day Day 30 -Clones 1 and 2 water/feed Lotus Grow nutrient 1 litre each 6.41 PH - 201 PPM -#1 runoff 500 ml 6.15 PH 621 PPM -#2 runoff 500 ml 6.03 PH 975 PPM -Clones 3 and 4 -1.3 litres each with Lotus Grow nutrient -1.3 litres each 6.21 PH - 362 PPM -#3 runoff 400 ml 5.68 PH 2950 PPM -#4 runoff 300 ml 5.43 PH 4200 PPM -Clone #5 feeding -1.4 litres with Lotus Grow nutrient -6.2 PH - 619 PPM -#5 runoff 300 ml 5.47 PH 3700 PPM Day 31 -No water -Just growing nicely -Moved light up a little and adjusted intensity Day 32 -No water today -Not a whole lot to say today -They’ growing nicely now Day 33 Well this is a turning point for Janes babies and this week’s diary. This was my first attempt at cloning. It was more just giving this a shot and if it dodgers work out it was no big deal. I did also make these clones in hopes of being able to give a friend who was moving way and didn’t grow this season. So I wanted to set them up with a few clones ready to veg out when they get settled at their new place. Clones 2, 3 and 4 are no longer in my collection and have moved on to a new home. Got plans for 1 and 5 stay tuned. September 20 This is the end of this diary as #1 has moved on to becoming Margie and #5 is Billie. It take me a while to give names to plants. They need to show their character first.
