Last crop of the season. I shut things down in June, July, August because it's too hot to manage, and it's nice to have a 3 month rest from plant babysitting. I still keep my mother tent going year round however. Next year i'm going to retire the Lemon Kush Mother and germinate 2 new varieties. Wedding Cheesecake FF, and maybe Runtz. I'll have to look into them and do a comparison on growth traits and finish times. The FF one is a 7 weeker or so it says. Maybe i'll do 2 different FF strains.
Anyway, Biscotti Mintz is the one on the agenda for this last crop. I'm going to do 7 of them.
I'll be using Remo Nutrients again once they are rooted. The Coco is re-used and will be washed and buffered with calmag before they are transplanted. Aiming for a 6.2 pH.

Cubes irrigated with the pre-soak solution used for the rockwool cubes. It was a pH of 7 so i adjusted to 6.3 and wetted the cubes. Misted the clones with Super Thrive B1 solution. Clone dome vents are closed so likely 100% humidity within.
FEBRUARY 25, 2024
All clones are standing tall and perky. They all should root successfully. Today I opened the dome vents about 1/4 the way. Time to start the hardening off process. Tomorrow they will get another misting of B1 and a visual inspection. Then, dome back on and vents opened to 1/2. Will irrigate the cubes if necessary with 6.3 pH clonex.
FEBRUARY 27. 2024
Dome vents are now 55% opened. All clones are standing tall and perky. No signs of roots yet. Irrigated again with 6.3 pH Clonex and misted with Super Thrive B1.
MARCH 2, 2024
Roots! Likely 9 days to root, but didn't check till day 10. 100% success rate again. Clones will be planted on Monday. Today is saturday.
P.S. Cut, Prepped, dipped, Inserted and rooted in 10 days. I'll bet that's faster than it takes to ship a order of AUTOFLOWER seeds. And WAY cheaper😂😄😅😆😉 lol
Your plants look great. I see you’re ph drifting. I did as well.
Using tap, my ph would drift up over time, so I’d set it a little low 5.7 and let it drift to 6.15. I run my coco at 5.8-5.9 successfully.
Once I switched to RO water my drift went away. Tip- You can use your dehumidifier water as ro water… and mitigate some drift.
@Todzilla, I was told that using dehumidifier water was a bad idea because of the air born pathogens that get in it. I was also under the impression that using RO water caused more pH Drift.
