man I gotta try the cup of water cloning, makes so much sense, wonder if a cup full of those constitutes a plant....heheSo many variations can work. I keep them out of the light because they can root in indirect light and not photosynthesize much and start burning their leaves.
I have simply left the cutting in a small glass of water in the shade close to another vegging plant and had roots in 3 weeks. With 3 water changes. Just out of the tap. Well water in my case. I still am using no additives.
I ditched the cal mag plus as a cure for my soft water issue even. Proper feeding with the base nutrient is working better. So I am trying a couple 5 gallon pots to see if I can keep enough nutrients uptaking where in the 3's I may be building up salts and excess too quickly.
Do your wells go low in mineral content with dry seasons? I have lost a third of my ppm in the water since last year. Very dry on the west side this year still.
Sorry for the Segway
Please carry on. This thread has great input so far.
if nothing else a cheap way to store some while you wait on harvsest/plant count reductions, when you need to flower their donors...
I wanted to be addicted to calmag, so bad, I was ready to spend whatever i needed just to get these awesome bene's I read about.
same with sulphur, but you know what....when I added either to my controls they-my treated plants- failed miserably at half strength even. They locked up quickly and did not recover.
I added them to the shelves of bottles and bits all dusty near out of my reach.
I was concerned with my well too for some time but luckily my pm's and dnr tests remain constant. when I raised tilapia in 1300 gallon tanks sometimes I would tax that well, surely a dozen others are on it too, and my numbers would change when I was filling pools,after ..(I used a pond seasonally, then quit)
