Cloning procedure:
Immediately place into water upon cutting.
Remove bottom nodes at base of stem, scratch stem gently with scissors + cut small slit on end of stem.
Dip stem into water, then dip into rooting powder, then firmly plant into moist soil.
Cover with Ziploc bag (humidity dome).
Solo cups have 4 holes in the bottom (Melted gently with a lighter)
(same soil as shown in diary for germination)
The soil was pre-moistened before the seeds were planted. (lightly watered, then top half of solo cup was stirred, to promote absorption (very dry soil))
The clones have been in humidity domes for 14 days now.. They're all still alive!
Every 3-4 days, for 15 seconds, the humidity bags have been wafted, for air exchange.
Day 8 - very lightly watered each clone.
(Soil still moist on day 14) - Next watering likely day 16.
Bags likely off after 7 more days(if clones are rooted, and growing), then likely ready to bloom!
Day 21 - #10 has the most vigor of all the clones.
watering the soil with one glug of my finest grade de-chlorinated tap water, every ~4-5 days (trying to not let the soil fully dry out).
Clones: #4, #7, #8, #10, and #12 are moved to flower!
Watered/fed with 1tsp/gal of floranova grow (ph up to between 6.5-7) every 2-3 days; when dry.
Gently flowed the nutrient mixture through the soil of each plant, until 25% runoff, ensuring full saturation.
Day 7 of flower!
#8 was not too pleased about being dry, compared to the others.
Each plant was watered/fed until full saturation + 20% runoff.
Watered/fed when the soil becomes 95% dry (~3days).
Week3 of bloom, started feeding Floranova Bloom, at 1tsp/gal. Each plant receives a glug or two from a 1gallon mixture. Runoff is removed.
Happy growing!
Week5 of bloom, feeding Cal-mag+Floranova Bloom, both at 1tsp/gal. Each plant receives a glug or two from a 1gallon mixture. Runoff is removed.
Happy growing!
Week6 of bloom, feeding Cal-mag+Floranova Bloom, both at 1tsp/gal. Each plant receives a glug or two from a 1gallon mixture. Runoff is removed.
New Clones of different phenos have entered the arena!
Happy growing!
Harvested the Clones!
I'm stoked how #4 grew out, I think she's the winner!
With limited space in my grow, I'm only going to be able to bloom out the rest of the phenos clones to week 3-4.. The show must go on..
It's the price I must pay for using non-ideal cloning methods... Next round of phenohunting will have 100% cloning success, using my new aeroponics cloning machine.
#4 phenotype has been selected as the winner phenotype out of the 12!
I've begun my "regular scale" grow in my 3x3 tent, using four similarly healthy rooted clones!
I used my hand as a wedge to separate moistened soil, to then gently position the roots down into the soil.
The soil was then gently pressed around the roots, and generously watered.
The plan is to train out these plants for 1 month, to different shapes (node amounts) too see which shape yields the highest amount of top quality.
I will lightly feed, as usual. Next run is when I will start pushing nutrients.. The comparison is important to me.
Enjoying a nice variety of training methods!
Each plant watered with 1 gallon dosage of the above listed nutrients. Dry, and ready for another dosage in about 5 days.
(Lamp to plant distance is 40", can't change the value past 30, for some reason.. :S)
The plants are starting to take to the soil very well!! They've grown enough to have a re-adjustment to the LST pins, and to have their leaves cleaned up, with some defoliation!
For the fimmed plant, I'm trying to defoliate, to allow light penetration, which will promote growth to the lowers. I want the lowers to catch up to the "fimmed" nodes, then train outwards from there.
Each plant is watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients. They're dry, and ready for another dosage every ~5 Days.
The plants are happy growing!!
The fimmed plant appears to be behind the pace of the rest.
Each plant is watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients. They're dry, and ready for another dosage in about 4-5 days.
