📆 [24.09. - Day 29]
💬 Treating the soil with predator mites to kill the fungus gnat larvae and as prevention against other pests like Thripse. (Hypoaspis miles)
💬 Treating every single plant in the house with a total of 12.500 predator mites. Flying pests should be controlled in the whole environment if you can not quarantine infected plants. My whole house is full of various different plants, so ive got to treat them all.
💬Something munched on a leaf, wonder what it was.
📆 [25.09. - Day 30]
💦 Watered 400ml filtered rainwater with fermented nutrient solution (4ml, 1:100) + 20ml of aloe extract.
💎 Decided it was time to move them into their new environment today. Finally got warm temps there when the lights are on (28-30 degrees celsius). Hygrostat is set to 55% rh. Going to upgrade to a GSE Climate Controller in a few days.
📆 [26.09. - Day 31]
💬 Applied SF-Nematodes to every single plant in the house. (Soil has to be moist, using against fungus gnats)
📆 [27.09. - Day 32]

📆 [28.09. - Day 33]

💬 A couple more days until i can cut more clones. Sadly the one i already took some days ago did not root yet...
📆 [29.09. - Day 34]
🌡️ 23.3°C - 27.1°C /// Rh: 54% - 66%
💦 Watered with 500ml rainwater with fermented nutrient solution (5ml, 1:100) + 20ml of aloe extract + 10ml "BAC Yuccah" watering agent.
💬 Took 2 more clones. Cut with desinfected razor blade, dipped in aloe and honey and then put in a mix of moist peat moss, perlite and sand. Placed in a small greenhouse with the older clone.
💬 When taking clones and scraping them ive noticed a really nice smell coming from the stems, smelling strongly like the typical "cali/gas" with some notes of mandarine/tangerine too! Amazing, she isnt even in preflower yet but smells so good! 💚🔥💚🔥💚🔥
💬 Lowered LED. (Ive raised it higher then it needs to be so the plants can get used to the new lights with UV)
📆 [30.09. - Day 35]
🌡️ 21.1°C - 27.7°C /// Rh: 48% - 66%
💬 Fertilized by topdressing fresh homemade compost (+FF)
💬 Clones have "stood up" again. 77% rh and 22°C right now in the clone box.
💦 Inoculated with BTI Protein dissolved in 200ml rainwater. Using this to kill young fungus gnat larvae.

Grow Questions
Leromestarted grow question 2 months ago
I dont have a lot of experience in taking clones yet.
Is this going to be enough light for them to produce enough sugar to make roots / should i move them into the veg. tent? I am scared of fungus gnats destroying their roots there. Light is 6.5 W, 400 Lumen, 3000 Kelvin
Thx 💚

Not much. It can't take in enough nutes to do anything but cannibalize itself. A minimal amount of paling is fine but you don't want them to eat themselves too much before they get some roots.
Use Bti to avoid gnats and more, if available in your area. "Mosquito bits" and dunks are the brand i know of. But anything with Bacillus thurgenisis (spelled wrong but close enough) will work on larvea and 100% safe for you or pets. I use bti pre-emptively. You never know when a bale of substrate will bring in a bunch of pests from the store.
Give them weak light and low VPD until they exhibit signs of growth, and improved turgidity (they stand up straighter with greater sustained water pressure inside the plant)
as far as how much light.. just make sure they don't pale too much or fall over trying to avoid the light. High humidity slows transpiration (low vpd). This will reduce stress on the plant and allow it to form roots more easily. Unless you live in a very humid region, a humidity dome is very useful. They key is not giving them uninterrupted darkness for 10+ hours (flower cycle / chance for revege etc), which is easy enough to avoid.
Can they root simply plopping them in some substrate and leaving by the window sill? yes, but success will be lower. Always take more cuttings than you need. Sometimes you'll have a 100% success rate, others you'll encounter a stubborn genotype or maybe it's not as healthy as normal etc... Lots of things can reduce success rate.
if you take 4-5 cutting you could just leave them on a counter and at least 1 would survive, lol.
Leromestarted grow question 2 months ago
Opinions & experience inquired - Layering diff. substrates - A good or bad idea?
Look up germination week of my mandarin cookies for infos.
Do you think this project could be beneficial or should i stick with pure living soil? Why? Keep down bro science pls.

I have played around with layering, not quite the way you have done it, but not too far off.
My living soil was doo dense, so I added coco and perlite to it to lighten it up, but was worried about it still getting too saturated in my larger pots (regular plastic, not fabric).
I put a layer of coco and perlite alone in the bottom inch so the roots that got there should never sit in stagnant wet soil for long and I added another layer around the middle also about an inch so when the plant is young it can easily access airy pockets easily even if the living soil is a bit on the wet side.
It worked quite well and after the plants finished, I saw their roots had spread more strongly in those airy layers while still having access to the nutrient in the living soil.
I think your concept is fine, but I would maybe worry about the ratio you have of living soil to inert medium.
If the plant stays small it should have enough food, but if you grow a bigger plant, you might need to start feeding more seriously than you normally would to make up for the lack of food.
It will also probably dry a lot faster, so you'll have to water a lot more. Not a problem, it just seems it is going to make you work harder for the same result.
I'm not expert and some of the things I've done may be really silly, but it worked for me and I grow large plants in those 30l pots without any problem.
I just top dress with compost at the start of flower and use FPJ's I make myself and some epsom salt now and then.
I would personally move the sand down to the bottom 1/3rd or 1/4th and have more living soil and less inert medium, but try it out and lets see how it goes.
Leromestarted grow question a month ago
My clones are in water since 11 days now. They seem to be not easy to clone/root... Are these "root bumps" ?
Should i take them out of the water and into a clean wet substrate now?
Thx🌱

When I take clones I put them into a cup of water for 48 hours. This I feel is very important. However, I always make my final 45 degree cut after I take them out of the water. Then I put them into a rapid rooter plug with root hormone. I’ve had 95% plus success doing this.
After about a week under a humidity dome I get nice white roots coming out the plug.
It looks like your cuttings are water logged and starting to rot away. I would either take more cuttings or cut the existing clones way back to more solid stem.
Hope this helps.
Leromestarted grow question a month ago
Hey, cloning with the new setup went really bad quick, what did i do wrong? Information on my mandarin cookies grow report, read my comments from today and 2 days ago pls
5/7 look like this. Do i need to sterilize the rockwool with boiling water?

m0useanswered grow question a month ago
Should not need to sterilize rockwool but pooring boiling water over it and then let it cool would give it a good start. I clone in a glass of tap water I don't ph it or do anything special. works fine for me, once it shows root tips little warts, i place em in soil and they grow.

@ThatGuyWhoGrows, Thx dude!
My goal here is to simulate nature´s way of growing, providing a mostly silicon based substrate in the deeper root zone to provide high levels of oxygen and water. The top root zone is where im providing most of the nutrition in an organic form to feed the microbial and fungal life which feed my plants.
Feel free to message me if you want to know more about what im doing or have any questions in general, ive seen you are doing your first grow, thats awesome! 😊
