Clones Day 13
That was a long 13 days. Nothing, and then today roots started peeping.

A few months ago I wanted to try some rooting powder. I have tried a lot of gels, and get tired of having it in the fridge when the in-laws come over.
I was at Lowe's one day, and saw this, so I figured I'd try it. It was $5. This stuff is awesome, it's all I ever use now. Someday I might do a side by side comparison with gels, but I doubt it. I have seen myself the difference, and am not really interested in the gels now.

I had to rearrange the tent to make room for the Sky Lotus.
These are mothers. I cut them all back except for one, and that is in case something happens to the RDWC clones.

I had enough, and checked the clones that weren't showing roots. I had four showing roots, and four that weren't.



I tossed the ones that weren't showing anything. Rather than try to limp them along while the others outran them I went to a backup plant, the Strawberry Banana Grape. I took the four best clippings I could find. Both are Sativa dominant.
This is 2 hours after taking the clones. They aren't happy. The SBG are in the four corners with the Fruity Jack in the center. I also bumped up the water temp a little bit to 71f.

Looking great! Whats the PH of your reservoir feeding the dripper in the coco/perlite grow? Did you prep the coco? I'm running a similar setup but am feeding 10 minutes 3 times a day.

I try to keep the ph at 6. By try I mean when I dump buckets into the res the ppm and the ph are spot on. Three days later I add more, and never really check the res because in that time nothing really happens in the res. I reused the coco, I think this is the 4th time. I gave it a quick rinse, but that's about it. I have a huge tub that I keep my coco in when I'm not using it. That's why there is some hydroton and vermiculite in there, if anyone noticed. It's actually a reused mixture of different mixes, but for the most part it's 3:1. In the coco storage tub I let it go completely dry until I need to use it. I rinse it to help wash out salts, but I feed on the light side, and always monitor for a build up. That system has been working great for me. I've gone through so much trial and error, I have learned that coco and I get along great.

I've experimented for months on my dripper. I've tried all kinds of combos. I'm really liking this one, on for one minute each hour while lights are on. It's adjustable, so I spent a lot of time figuring out how much to drip for that minute. Right now it comes on and just barely gets the drain pan wet, an hour later the pan is dry, and it does it again. As they drink more I will up the time from one minute to two here and there on the hours.

Day 16 Flower
Strawberry Banana Grape #3 (Seedsman)
It's starting to put on some sugar. I think I can hear Def Leppard warming up off in the distance...all in all, not bad imo for basically week two with 7 or 8 weeks left.

Looking B-E-A-utiful. Can't wait to see my girls with "diamonds shining looking like they robbed Liberace".

Trying something new with the SBG clones. If it doesn't work then I will run with what I have and veg the FJ a couple more weeks to fill in the canopy. I took fresh clipping for this 2 days ago.
I put a trash bag over them so they aren't getting direct light, and to hold in humidity.
I also went with a 2" net pot from my LP aero days. It's basically LP aero at this point in the buckets, and I never had a problem with clones using that system.
The Fruity Jack is starting to grow again.



I'm running my bucket lid idea. It lets me have another gallon and more root space in each bucket. I put them on when I see roots.


The 2" netpots on the SBG. Bad pic, but I was getting sprayed. I also turned the pvc caps so that it makes water go everywhere. After the roots start to drop I'll turn them so that they agitate the water again.

This is my first run of Bodhi. I also have a 12pack of Terpenado of his, but flipped a coin and Sky Lotus won.
I wish they did fem stuff too, but I'm just having to keep an eagle eye out for males instead.
My plan is to get a keeper female of each of my strains for a mother. Down the road I want to self some mothers, chuck some pollen, and start experimenting.
I actually have all of his PBS episodes from his show on a cloud, lol. I think there are over 200.
