Week 1: You'll notice in my other Watermelon Zkittles diary we did a major defoliation before going into flower! This is when we noticed a number of branches that didn't have much potential to create big buds, buttt they were perfect clone candidates! We'd been letting the mother plant grow without SCROG for over 2 months, and she was very healthy when we took the cuttings. The two mothers came from a group of 5 original seeds, so we will see if there are differences in the pheno's as we take the mother into flower.
We chopped these from mom around 10/20 and put them into Root Riot cubes with a small amount of Mycorrhizae, soil surrounding the cube, and CloneX to ensure root growth.

Grow Questions
bigolebudsstarted grow question 6 months ago
Are roots disturbed by light? Is it safe to grow in a clear solo cup?
I want to be able to see the roots (so I'm using clear cups), but I'm wondering if I should cover them with another cup or insulation of some type.

Hey bigolebuds!
On the specific pic you shared the root ball is quite nice already. Probably time to transplant to bigger pot.
Truly it is not good for the roots to get exposed to light, although you are not the first to use transparent cups. They will be just fine if it is temporary phase, and you move them to final pot after noticing the root development.
If you want to help it a bit, you may cover them with aluminium foil and only expose to light when inspecting the roots.
My very first grow was an auto all the way till the end in transparent 8l water bottle. It survived and provided me with some nice results. But for sure it did not help her to thrive.
Enjoy the grow!

How do you determine when to flip a photoperiod clone into flower?
Once there's enough root development? Whenever you want based on availible space, resources, etc.? Combination of all factors?

I turn my girls over at the 18 inch mark. Plants will usually double to triple in size when transitioning to flower, so go by your room size, so as to not over crowd your ladies.

@Golden, Thanksss! I tried Baked Zkittles in Martha's Vineyard this summer and fell in love with the bud structure, so I'm hoping this comes close!
Once i saw Watermelon x Zkittles was Leafly's strain of the month in June I said let's give it a try.

sweet roots you are showing . bit risky using a transpartent Cup, but for showing roots perfect.
just be sure to cover them if you dont show us the roots, the plants say thank you, they dont like the light.
