noob question

[ljak1407]

So i have a noob question about hydro. I started a new mother plant in a 2" netpot that sits in a milk jug i spray painted black. Its doing great and i was wondering, with my setup that ill be building shortly can i keep cloning solution in the mother plants tank and when i go to clone every 2 weeks give it a spike with cloning solution to make clones root faster? My clones will veg for 3 weeks before throwing them into flower. This will be a 3 week perpetual sog grow

Milk jug? I would spend the $10 and just get a black 5 gallon buckets for your mom to live in. Cloning solution is only for you to dip fresh cuttings in to promote growth you don't put it in your water

Don't put your mother in a hydro setup. Take a cutting and start a new mother in soil.

Why?

 

[ljak1407]

Ya i would like to know why i shouldnt have a mother in hydro. Much easier to maintain from my perspective

Start reading bro!

Start reading bro!

I've done my reading, and still asking why.

He is probably just a soil lover who is anti hydro because there is no reason not to keep a mom in hydro it's one of the easiest things to maintain

I don't think so. I wouldn't use the clone solution like that. The cutting imo won't root faster. Use it after you take cuttings.

 

[Dumme]

....still wondering why hydro is bad for mommas?

 

[AlphaPhase]

It's not, but that wasn't your original question.

 

[Dumme]

Ok, why wouldn't you put mammas in hydro?

 

[AlphaPhase]

Oh, nvm. You're not the op. I'm baked, my bad

Hydro mom's are fine. It's just a hit more harder to keep roots happy for a year or a long time that mama's are kept. Personally, all my mom's are in hydro. I haven't had a soil mom in over a year. I just take clones off my veg plants before flower, so technically, all my veg plants are mom's. Fresh mom's forever and no wasted mama room space.

Here's my next mom's. They go into flower in a week.

I planed on using the 1st table as the cloner and they would stay in there for 3 weeks before table 2 for 3 weeks ect. They would be fresh cuttings into only netpots and hydroton. Would they get to heavy for that? I hate rockwool cant ever get it to work lol
