Clones arrived and got transplanted into their final pots already (still experimenting). Added roughly 100ml per water per plant and turned on the humidifier to 70%
you want small pots -- better o2 penetration to roots.. roots, roots, rooots, roots.. all you should care about is root formation, lol. Unless you take massive cuts, a tiny seedling pot is fine. Even with large cuts the only reason for a big pot is to ensure it doesn't fall over... without roots the plant can't do shit, so you don't want to promot vege growth until it has some.
Cuttings do nothing and need virtually nothing until they have roots. So you want low VPD (high humidity) to nearly stop transpiration, which limits need to take in water, and a warm substrate (75-80f) to promote root growth. They need very little light, but obviously don't put them into flower with a long dark cycle.
when you see more than a tiny amount of vege growth - leaves will slightly fatten before the roots form and you should ignore that - you can experiment with more light and hardening them off to normal RH / VPD levels for a vegetative plant. They won't all be on the same timeline. Better to err on keeping them in low vpd / low light longer than trying to force them early. If you see stem elongation and more than a tiny amount of leaf growth, chances are there are some small, delicate roots.
just as always, have an appropriate sized pot to your plant... if it takes forever for the plant to drink down from full saturation, it's too big. Stagnant water happens whether it sits in a bucket for many days or absorbed into a solid substrate all the same.
In a nursery, they will keep it cooler above ground but keep the substrate 75-80F. Supposedly this causes more resources to be distributed to the roots.. no idea if it is true. Plants are compartmentalized, so it's not a bad hypothesis, but not something to assume without proof. If there is scientific research to back it up, worthwhile to do.
Onto the second week!
The mimosa evo was struggling for the major part of this week but bounced back right before their first feeding today. The amnesia haze still struggling in the new environment. Rest seems to like their new home since day 1.
Starting some lst and might start topping in the upcoming days.
To be continued
Thinking of cutting the mimosa evo in half for bushier grow, to even out the canopy and to get an additional clone (experiment) thoughts? Shes currently roughly 25 cm tall (clone)
Plant is sick, sort things first, then take cuttings from healthy bushy plant.
Generally yes, i saw not one old growers preach about extra veg before toping, for having a cut instead of topping or fim. Aka having 7-8 nodes instead of average 5-6, before cut...
Biggest news first!
I've actually never realized that my light timer wasnt working. Aka 24h light for the ladies for the past 2 weeks 😮💨
Explains a lot! I am amazed that 2/4 actually seemed to like the 24/7 light.
Anyway the ladies loved their first night of sleep!
Blueberry and mimosa has been topped
Trying to make some clones from the
Big week!
Had to upload a day early since im gone for 2 days.
The sleepless ladies seem very happy besides some minor problems.
Fungus gnats... whatever i do, sooner or later i get them and its super annoying! Controlling pest with nematodes and sticky traps. Recommendations?
Added another strain (either white widow or kings juice). Was supposed to be a backup but grew so vigorously that i HAD to add her to the tent 😁
The secret lady will be my playing ground for mainlining/manifold.
1-3 more weeks until flip!
The clones are sitting in their humidity dome for 7 days today. I made the mistake to leave them in 90-95% humidity for almost the whole week. No resistance when gently pulling. Reduced humidity to 75-80%.
Cant wait for them to fill out the tent 🤩
Es wächst und gedeiht 💚
Fungus gnats seem gone 👋
I did some topping and lst, creating the structure i aim for.
Tent got so crowded so i got another one with my old setup for veg (maybe will start a Frankensteins mother project in there 🙌).
In a rush today!
All the best to you 🙏
Edit: thinking of 2-3 more weeks of veg, what do you think?
Current hight incl pot approx. 55cm. Tent height 180cm/5.9f. Trellis nets are ready
I'm a bit concerned about a too long veg in these 12l
Another week in the books!
Everything growing nicely, tent is filling up pretty evenly.
I've decided to give them another week of veg before flip day 42.
Onto week 6 🙌💚
