New Age united always talked about giving them a baby feeding now I’m guessing it’s just a little bit of Cal mag I’ve got some from Remo. They are on for 18 hours and off for 6. Now for clones is that ideal lighting with only CFL‘s or should I put them under the same time but with a 600W HID dimmed?? Should I spray them or put them under a dome??Just so many questions that I have let my partner New Age united would’ve been able to answer for me but he got all his information from his followers so I’m hoping that you guys will still stick around and help me out through our last grow together

I'm no expert but clones should be sprayed and put under a dome. CFL lighting should be fine until they develop roots.

I’d like to find out scientifically what a dome does opposed to not using one and what are the benefits opposed to not using one but I will be spraying them with a little bit of water in definitely

I can't give you all of the scientific terminology but plain and simply clones have no roots to bring water into the plants so a very humid environment is needed so that water can be taken in through the foliage. Spraying the plants (and the inside of the humidity dome) ensures that the humidity doesn't drop to levels that will endanger the clones.

That’s really awesome thanks a lot for your help I do not have a dome but I will be spraying them down on a regular basis to make sure that they’re nice and hydrated

A dome can be made with razor knife and any plastic bottle. Be sure there is an air hole on top. Don't remove dome until the leaves stay up on their own. Otherwise they just wilt for not having enough moisture. :leaf:

Hopefully you can keep the humidity level (60 to 70% RH) high enough. Spraying them will definitely help. A humidifier would help even more.
I just cleaned out my spray bottle made sure it was nicely disinfected and I’m gonna get ready to spray them soak them really well right now so you’ll have the rest of the day till midnight tonight until the lights shut off I have the CFL’s on 18 on and 6 off

I don’t know if you noticed in the pictures that I posted recently but they are drooping a little bit because I haven’t gave them any water at all since Monday when I clipped them

When spraying go real fine. Just enough to wet the leaf is sufficient.

I would use a humidifier except the fact that I’m not growing in his apartment anymore it’s here in my garage at my home and I have things in there that can’t be humidified

that’s awesome because that’s exactly what I did soaked the whole head of the clones, with also a soil spraying

Looks like they are past newbie stage. They are growing plants already. Don't need dome after 10da or so if it roots. Just go real easy with the foliar spray.

Right on man thank you I spray them every few hours because the foliage dries up real quick so I just try to make sure that the foliage is nice and moist

I had to put five of my clones in the dome because they were weak looking and really droopy compared to the other three that were and still are standing up by themselves. Here’s some pictures to show you what I’m talking about.

Knowledge is king
I can only fit six plants in my little dome out of 8, I had to add one more clone into my dorm this morning because it was starting to weaken. And I’m guessing before the end of the weekend I will have to put the other two in a makeshift dome because they’re starting to wilt or shrivel a little bit. So I’ll either have to buy a bigger one to put all eight in it or do you like you said make something out of a pop bottle

Thank you very much it means a lot to read this from anybody that knew New Age united or as I knew him as Mike Savoy. He was my partner in most of these grows that you’ve seen throughout the years in one way or another I’ve helped him throughout most of them I am sad to say that he passed away unexpectedly Saturday morning May 2 I will try To do my best in posting new pictures of the grow but unfortunately the police had to take 2/3 of our Operation due to legal issues we are only allowed having for per household but four of them survived and are looking very well I think we are in week two or week three of flip keep in touch I will be posting pictures on my thread or his either way
Thank you very much New Age united and myself were partners in growing for the last few years so most of the pictures that you’ve seen on there were crops of hours we decided to do the open room concept as per my idea because of more room for the plants to breathe
