(Read: Germination week of this diary for more information and thougts about this). This time the substrate had a lot of time to "ripen and merge together". 🌞 I have noticed that i have increased needs for CalMag in this substrate and need to feed a lot more in general, also by topdressing. Hope not to run into a bad fungus gnat infection by doing that , as i didnt manage to get rid of them completely yet. This Culinex doesnt seem to work well when feeding heavily through topdressing, i am going to increase the dose. I am going to add a fresh batch of predator mites later to prevent a heavy fungus gnat infestation. 🌞 Also I have to be careful not to overwater her in this big pot. 🌞 She has been moved into a bigger tent to let her flower in some days! Taking clones has taken too much time and it would be a shame not letting this beauty flower now, after that long veg. I am going to keep one of the clones as a new mother of course, the other clones i will give away. 💦 Watered her with 2000ml of 10l filtered rainwwater + 2 dissolved tablets of BTI proteins and 2 teaspoons of SF Nematodes to prevent & kill the fungus gnats. 💬 Installed a scrog net, applied heavy LST.

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.

I just transplanted each of these 4 mothers into 40l pots, i am planning to let them flower in 2-3 days. I am thinking if the pots might have been too big for these plants, do you think they will still stretch a lot bcs of the new soil despite being "old" already Tent = 2m high

In 2-3 days the roots havent colonized the new pot, fully. Still might cause a little extra growth before vege growth stops in flower phase, but given the timing, i don't think you have to worry about anything crazy. You might not see roots throughout 40L of volume by the end, so it's effect will be limited too. I think you are safe and that the plant will be limited by how much time it has to grow in flower phase and avoid too much extra growth relative to space caused by pot size. The fact they are mature mothers with size that already fills the area of the tent will probably result in some over-crowding regardless of pot size. No biggie. Just prune them to fit. If you think they are too tall to start, prune back a few nodes to reduce height before flip and give 3-5 days to heal, preferably.

High Lerome, The plants will start to stretch during the pre-flowering phase. Just flip them first and fill up the SCROG net. And when there are branches growing under the SCROG net (not receiving any light) and when leaves are stacked on eachother blocking airflow you need to cut them off. Next to that they will make a really nice screen of green and will not cause any problems. The plants will not grow a lot bigger because of the larger pots but they will due the pre-flowering phase. Make sure that you water at the outside of the pot to let those roots grow towards the outside for a healthier rootsystem and the most benefit from the larger pots! Happy Growing Buddy! 💚

@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! 😊
