Week 4 8/5 - 8/11
This week cooled down a little bit before it hit 90 by the end of week 4. The AC held up well.
I did a second topping on the ladies this week. I'll probably end up with 2-3 more toppings to get 16-32 nodes. Some of those will then be further cut to take clones if any of the plants are looking worthy.
Feeding is some fish fert, big bloom and bat guano
Hey! Happy growing my friend! I hope you do well and get some good results! I will come by sometime to see your progress!
If you ever visit my page please say hello!
Peace & love L.S.T
@olli0420, thanks a ton!! I put my clones in a closet in my office. For the clones that are all rooted, I took them from2nd week o flower off new bud sites that popped up from halfway up the branches. They were completely new growth that appeared when i switched to 12 and i cut them once they were about 5-8 inches long each with some small buds forming and tons of pistils. These were all mainlines and taken from equivalent nodes so each clone has equal growth potential.
Cut just below a node, trim the node of any leaves or growth sites. Trim the tips off any leaves. Dip in rooting gel and put in a wet grodan cube. Water in with very light veg nutes (fish fert + kelp) and cover with dome. Keep at 77*/80% until you see lots of roots pop out. Could be weeks or over a month even if taken late flower. They should keep growing and get fuzzy with root branches. This is when u put them in solo cups with your soil mix. I use potting soil (ocean forest if i have on hand) compost, worm castings, perlite for this stage.
The moisture/humidity control will be key. At some point a week or two in the leaves on top will start really drying out after being depleted of their nutrients. this is when you may want to give them some more direct feeding. Until then only mist with a spray bottle. You want tht cube to start getting a little bit dry but still moist so that the roots push out and seek water. This will also cause the plant to cannibalize the leaves to feed that root growth.
This should all be just perfect as at that time, you should see the bud sites start getting really bright green and lose all their pistils. This means itsready to start pushing out new veg growth.
Ill take some pics of a few i have in diff stages of the process and put them on my diary for this week.
