Received my clone on Oct 21, transplanted the same day. It's https://www.leafly.com/strains/medellin -- I've been doing a bunch of old school style strains, and wanted to do some hipster strain from a clone. It was kind of the most Sativa-y one I could find, and I figured with a name like Medellin, it's gotta be on the energetic side. I bought it on strainly from Pig Tail Gardens.
Clone seemed OK when I received it, and perked up pretty well after 24 hours. I wasn't sure what to do about light schedule, so I ran it for 36 hours of light after transplant before going 18/6. I've got a single light on at 50%.
I'll probably go nice and easy on her for the first week. Checking for roots more frequently than I want to admit, but can't wait for her to drop a couple roots into the solution.
New best toy for this grow is a pH controller, a Bluelabs one. Pretty stoked on it. I haven't calibrated it yet, just physically installed it and next steps are to modify my buckets to run the cables & hose, then calibrate and test it out.
I'm trying to get my VPD in shape. Kinda running a little high at 1.3ish, so trying to fiddle with running the humidifier intermittently to get humidity up and get closer to 1.0ish VPD.
Went with GH trio week 2 formula at 50%, wound up around 600 ppm in the tank.
Update 10/26: Noticed what looks like powdery mildew on one leaflet, which I removed. Then treated with a foliar, Lost Coast Plant Therapy. I think running my humidifier intermittently is actually spiking it which I think is bad for this. I've never had it inside before. So, going to omit running that, and try to get the temp a little lower to decrease the VPD.
Also got the pH controller running, it's working a charm so far. Neat!
Update 10/27: Root popped! Added photo. Thinking about topping soon, maybe tomorrow? Week from transplant, seems OK. It'll be at 7 nodes which is already a good amount. I'm only tentative because I've never grown a clone, and she also flew across the country. I'm also second guessing myself on training with a clone.
Update Oct 28: topped! Added photos before and after. Ordered stuff for automatic top off (my current system is clunky, so I bought one for an aquarium).
