Ayahuasca round two!
This was a fun little experiment. Dont grow flowering clones😅 I ended up getting a decent yield even though the plants were tiny. Quality is still not what I'm looking for but better than my first run.
The fog:
Worked surprisingly well. I'm willing to try this again some day. One major issue, the fogger has trouble atomizing heavy molecules so I had to give supplemental iron through foliar means. The plants became iron deficient fairly quickly. Other than that, this is quite low maintenance and turned out better than I thought it could. I did end up letting the roots touch the solution, I'd like to try again but keep them above the waterline for the whole grow.
Root pruning experiment:
I strongly believe this promotes a more developed rhizome by the end, the plants that were heavily pruned had massive roots one nearly 12mm diameter, it actually broke the netpot to make room. The larger root on the control group was 5mm. From these larger main roots developed more, bushier roots.
I will be using this technique when I try areoponics again.
All in all, not much to report with this one the quality is still lacking for a proper smoke report but we ended up with more potent buds than the last run. Taste is better but not great, hopefully, as I get better, that will change.
They have been curing for 60 days and the humidity is stable at 61%, it took 15 days to reach that level.
Happy growing!
@Cannabot,
Your guess is as good as mine😂 I am very new at this, second grow ever. I am looking to experiment and change things up for the sake of science and keeping it fresh. I tend to hurt my plants alot and had my first plant "herm" These clone are not from that plant.
Thanks for stopping in, excited to go through your content🤗
Never saw a setup that takes advantage from root pruning!! Great!! There's a day for that on moon calendar, take a search!
Also, I do believe that your leaves are being burned by the light!
@Psilocubensis,
All about trying things, for me. Thanks for the concern about the lights👍but believe me they are really weak. The small plants are getting 100-200ppfd and the tall plant is getting 350ppfd at the top.
Hey buddy, I've noticed pretty much anything organic will gunk up pumps and sprayers. In recirculating systems this seems doubly true.
I'm pretty sure humics and fulvics are usually organically sourced.
Roots are looking great 👍 Not sure what kind of lights those are, but it's possible those are why the leaves on the back plants are a little funky. The 2 in front are looking good😎
IMO trying new stuff is the most fun part of growing. Good luck, and have fun experimenting!
@Animatey,
I think the mutated leaves are the plants trying to flower and veg, but I could be wrong. 3 of the clones were flowering when I took them, and the small good looking plant was not. I am happy to see the big plant started to put on some normal leaves, so I do think that has something to do with it. As for the humics, yeah gunk city, massive molecules and dirty looking roots. I'll try again in soil one day. But as for the lights, small plants are getting about 7500 lux and the tall one about 9k, I hope that's not enough to cause issues.🤷♂️ I've been taught well, I dont think they're burning😏
