in my experience i have taken a clone at any time. may take longer to root in some instances but if i need one i will get it.... whether have one branch in veg or 6 weeks in flowering.
you did have transplant shock. i use super thrive to aid with this. I feel too many pumps are over rated. I have used three tubs to one adjustable pump and worked fine. you just need to get air in the water
funny that you started this thread... i found on on ebay that was waterproof. It came with the calibration solution and batteries. ppm and ph meters are needed my friend.
if you really wanted to grow i would do just a few plants in a tent 4x4 with a 600 watt maybe even a 1k if temps are not too hot. fan size depends on the temp. have a oscillating fan on the inside of course. veg for a little and then hit 12/12. I would do hydro in an apartment. dirt is too...
You really want to go with your nute schedule and your strain. 2 weeks prior to harvest. plants will store nutes and then use them while you are flushing. use molassas in soil not hydro.
looking good so far. what kind of lighting are you using?? what ever it is get it closer to your plant and then it will take off and no stretch. put a small fan on it as well as this will help the stem be stronger.
bro they look good and almost ready. i would experiment and chop them at 9 to see how they taste and smoke. It doesn't matter if all your leaves are dead. how long is your flush?
