Finished up the room with all I can do for now. Just gotta wait until I can start cloning.

Did a temporary feed yesterday with 6L each. Gonna feed them again tomorrow or day after until Runoff PH and EC is same as feed.

I did change from Dwc to growing in coco/perlite :) it is indeed easier and Dwc really had me struggling with plant problems and all the maintenance.
Good choice, I think you will be happier in the end. If you get the confidence built after a few grows maybe then try a DWC with all you have learned. Just my thought and not trying to discourage you! Good luck again.

Ok so fed my plants 15L each today. EC Runoff were same as feed but that pH just stays at 6.2 no matter what lol. Did also make a slightly weaker mix.

I see some dark leaves and some brighter coloured new growth but else than that pretty much all right. I'm sure the symptoms will go away with a lower pH but I just don't know how to get there. Was sure pH were going to get lower with all that feed.

Anyone know how to get that PH down?

Feed
PH 5.6
EC 0.76

Runoff
PH 6.2
EC 0.76

But they sure are growing!

Feeding day!
Fed them approximately 10L each. And it turns out that I didn't need to worry so much about the pH! After the feed they were pretty much just where I wanted. Guess PH was just rly fucked first time around.

Did some lst and topped a couple(again lol wtf I'm doing). I'll take some pics tomorrow didn't have the chance today.

Feed
PH 5.5-5.6
EC 0.85

Runoff
PH 5.7-5.8
EC 0.82

Ok gonna start the new week digging into all this cloning business. Its time to cut some leaves and branches so two birds one stone.

These were taken 24. July.

Try clone every branch I take out and if all goes well I'll flower my two ladies when clones show roots. Check which clone seems healthiest and make her a bonzai mother. Further on do sog with little time in veg.

But I do need a place for them not sure what is most convenient. Thinking maybe going T5 tubes for mother and clones space so I can work in same area while lights on without protective eyewear. They don't hurt ur eyes, right?

Took my first clones some hours ago. Think it were 22-23 of them placed in a tray under a dome. Have a feeling I might have done some errors taking cuttings. Did a few variations just to see what happens. I'll grab some pics when lst'ing tomorrow.

Used gel on cuts, and rooters soaked in 1/4 nute strength phed at 6.0. Spraying daily with clone spray.
Two times daily with water phed to around 5.8

I'm really curious if some of these can make root and survive. It would amaze me.

Took use of another light today. Figured why not I need the heat anyway and they are getting big.

Maybe visible that I took some clones but I believe they still need some defoliation just not sure how to do it right.

So my 1 week clones look super unhappy hah. Didn't expect high success rate but I sure do hope a few of them survives. Using dome. Accidentally sprayed them with 1/8 strengt veg nutes before I took the pic. Had it in the sprayer to wet the cubes and forgot..
The rooter cubes were barely moist, rather dry to the touch so went crazy lightly panicking.

One of the reasons I hope some of they survives is to get on schedule. Thought I would have clones ready and flower with them(as a heighted sog where places needed to fill)before they got this big. Didn't plan to flower only my two 10.5 week girls but not sure how big they stretch.
Area is about 4x3.

Anyone watching this got an idea? Maybe at 12 weeks, far off?
Are they healthy enough?

Fed them earlier with 1.2ec and 5.6ph. I start low on pH cause I believe it still rises over a couple days. But haven't checked first runoff in a while so don't really know what pH they are sitting in after the first day. I feed them 10L each(20L buckets with 15L coco/perlite) so I'm not really stressing about it. Pretty sure it's within range.

My poor babies were so thirsty looking it hurt. Didn't get around to feed them yesterday (when i wa supposed to) and today they looked like this.

And now later on the day they got some yellow going on(didn't take pictures of it though). Prob getting more hungry which is part of the yellow but also cause of neglect i think.
