These little girls are in Coco Pots straight from germination. I’m going the whole “air pruning tequnique” so I figure might as well start out the same. So, I’m going to step these guys up, right into 5 gal fabric pots when the time is right. Keeping them in the coco pots. Little known fact is that coco is the best nutrient absorbent substrate we use in botany. So much so you have to do an extra flush when using coco because it withholds the nutrient salts.

Sorry about the light. My LED was actually functioning incorrectly and causing me to be unable to filter out the purple without going into photoshop.

This week was transplanting all the well germinated ones into these coco pots that I got for utilizing the “air pruning” technique. They are super breathable similar to the 5 gallon fabric pots they are going to be translated into next. I will admit that I goofed up here and put the seedlings into straight intense LED light WAY TOO FAST. Note to self, ease plants into LED light. I’m going to keep that lesson in mind for cloning as well.

Is there really a point to dumping in a lot of really expensive nutrients just for mothers?

Hi @Dankezt! To me it's all about your medium: some soil bags will cover your plant's needs for months, you would only need to add some Nitrogen for an extended vegetative stage. But some light mixes or soiless mediums such as coco will really benefit from a good feeding schedule, with basic nutrients (N, P, K) and also various additives (humic, fulvic, molasses & sugars, amino acids, ...). A good way to reduce costs for mother plants is to go organic: by making & using your own compost you can give the plant everything it needs with only trashes from your kitchen/garden. Hope this makes sense, happy growing! 👊

Hey y’all, how do you take your cuttings out of curiosity. That’s not my question though, my question is: Does anyone have experience with a Moistureland auto waterer or something equivalent, if so how many seconds of watering and at what time interval? Mine=90secs/3hrs

i would avoid those top feeding things because the truth is you cant really predict or measure how much water you need without measuring the weight of the soil, that's why autopots are worthwhile. you could maybe combine them, but i would be wary of any prescriptive thing , especially since flow would be difficult to measure, likely be inconsistent between waterings, and very well might lead to overwatered plants ... see how you're already getting puffy wrinkled leaves... good luck ! 🚀

Meassure how much water your system gives in a minute, then you need to figure how much water a day the plant needs per day. I would try to give 30 ml each time and as the plant grow, I would increase the number of waterings each day. As for cutting, take the lower branches that usually will not reach canopy level and cut in a 45°angle.

no not really , just want to keep her healthy maybe boost her soil every 4 to 5 weeks... main thing is you want her to keep vegging well enough to be able to produce cuttings regularly... it's all about how you take a root the clones , really. does that make sense ? 🚀

@Dankezt, DISCLAIMER haven t actually done it on cannabis yet ! but yeah i'm the same as you, following the instructions on the clonex / oxicloner basically - having fun with my new kit 😂 seen a fair amound of youtubes basically , and the nutrients for the mother is basically what my organic nutrients schedule calls for... simple as that... and you know you're doing the right thing when you have successful cuttings... simple as that again....

@CRiSPrGrow, how do you like to take cuttings? I usually do it before lights off after a nice 🦊 sledgehammer cycle. I like them between 3”-6” tall. I disinfect the clippers and a razor blade. Cut at a 45 degree angle and use the razor and ever so gently scrape off the outer purple hairy cellulose layer and drop in some Clonex and then after a short soak into the oxycloner with a 5:1 water to Hydrogen Peroxide mixture. Also take a qtip with some H2O2 and dab the plant where you took the cuttings and then I used to cover the wound with liquid rubber but I don’t anymore and don’t have issues.
