📆 [01.10.] - Day 3️⃣6️⃣ Mother: 🌡️ 23.3°C - 27.7°C ☁️ Rh: 48% - 64% 💬 Noticed some yellowing in between the veins -- amended the topsoil with magnesium in the form of basalt dust. Also added small amounts of "Living Soil - Grow" fertilizer & some kelp meal + insect meal on that occasion. Clones: 🌡️ 20.6°C - 22.5°C ☁️ Rh: 68% - 89% 💦 #1: Changing water (every other day...) 💦 #2 / #3: Moistened with 12ml filtered rainwater each 📆 [02.10.] - Day 3️⃣7️⃣ Mother: 🌡️ 23.3°C - 27.7°C ☁️ Rh: 50% - 65% 💦 Watered with 350ml rainwater, again with BTI proteins against the gnats. Clones: 🌡️ 20.9°C - 22.2°C ☁️ Rh: 71% - 83% - Nothing - 💬 It has been 10 days since #1 was cut as a clone. Still no roots... she is cannibalizing herself and there is some brown mushy stuff starting to grow. I think there will be better chances with #2 and #3 in the substrate. I think the mother plant is ready tomorrow or in some days for more clones to be cut off and I should do this. If i dont get roots soon, the mother will have to be transplanted into the flower tent and a new mother will have to be taken from a clone. I should probably get some H2O2 for rooting in water, or search for my air pump and bubblestone i guess. I dont like that i cannot see what is happening in the substrate... 📆 [03.10.] - Day 3️⃣8️⃣ Mother: 🌡️ 23.3°C - 27.2°C ☁️ Rh: 51% - 62% 💦 Watered with 350ml rainwater, again with BTI proteins against the gnats. Clones: 🌡️ 21.1°C - 22.4°C ☁️ Rh: 65% - 81% 💬 Still no roots. #3 seems to be drooping, even though the vpd is decent and they are under a weak 6.5W LED. ( VPD at day: around 0.6 / 0.7 ; at night: 0.35 - 0.6 ) 💦 Moistened #2 and #3 with 10ml filtered raintwater each. 💦 Changed water #1 📆 [04.10.] - Day 3️⃣9️⃣ Mother: 🌡️ 23°C - 27.3°C ☁️ Rh: 47% - 60% - Nothing - 💬 Yellow/bright green tips appearing on young leafs... gotta find out where that is coming from, i hope its not ph fluctuations between the substrate layers...Could also be from slight overwatering causing the ph to fluctuate or light stress, the light is set to 40% / 80W and should be far enough away, so i dont think its from light. It appeared after the last heavy watering, so i guess it was a ph fluctuation from that. Going to skip watering today and water with magnesium sulfate and maybe some calmag tomorrow to see if that helps. Clones: 🌡️ 20.7°C - 22.3°C ☁️ Rh: 61% - 75% 💦 Moistened #2 and #3 with 10ml filtered raintwater each. 📆 [05.10.] - Day 4️⃣0️⃣ Mother: 🌡️ 18.4°C - 27.3°C ☁️ Rh: 40% - 58% 💬 Forgot to close the window at night - low temps... ✂️ Took 4 more clones 💦 Watered her with 800ml of 4l rainwater with 1g magnesium sulfate and 1ml calmag. (1:4000) + BTI proteins to kill the gnats. Also added some Aloe extract and Yuccah watering agent to make the water foamy/break the surface tension for a good soak in the soil. Clones: 🌡️ 20.5°C - 22.7°C ☁️ Rh: 62% - 82% 💬 Still no visible roots or "root bumps"... Going to take 4 more clones later, when the mother has quenched her thirst. 💦 Changed water #1 📆 [06.10.] - Day 4️⃣1️⃣ Mother: 🌡️ 21.8°C - 26.6°C ☁️ Rh: 41% - 60% - Nothing - Clones: 🌡️ 20.8°C - 22.6°C ☁️ Rh: 64% - 89% 💦 Changed water #1 💦 Moistened #2 and #3 with 12ml filtered rainwater each 📆 [07.10.] - Day 4️⃣2️⃣ Mother: 🌡️ 21.8°C - 27.1°C ☁️ Rh: 41% - 61% 💬 ToDo: 💦 Watering?

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.

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. THX 💚PM 4 discussion

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.

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.

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?

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! 😊
