Feeding un-rooted clones?

[LAMBS-BREAD]

Hi Organicers

I'm looking for a organic way to feed un-rooted clones that start show a lack of nitrogen. Im thinking of foliar feeding using a spray of a light high N guano tea?

Any input are welcome.

Peace

terracycle

They sell this at Home Depot as well, I've found it to be the best pre-mixed foliar feed for any plant that just needs a little bump of nutes. Uses liquidized earthworm castings, won't burn, ever.

I wouldn't feed them at all.
the bottom leaves do turn yellow as the plant uses that to survive on until roots can establish.
they will be ok without food.

not sure on your case, but sometimes when your humidity is high they show signs of n def, but not always the case.

i see alot of cuttings fried from over fert. i dont give them anything sometimes til they show legs (roots)

not sure if its organic, but have you ever tried rhizotonic? my spelling is shit btw.

theres a spray that ive used, but cant remember what its called now.... leaf xxxx. comes in a pre-made bottle

off topic.... lamb, do you live in the uk?

Interested, is that product organic here? Maybe a light worm casting tea could help dem not to wilt...

Yeah it look scary when they start yellowing with outshowing roots yet...

Hey V1, No im not in the Uk but in Fr.... Are u refering to the biobizz leafcoat? i never try this one, anyone have experiences with it?

hey lambs, i would not feed them - often when they yellow it is becuase they are starting to root. clones actually root less quickly when the plant you take then from is rich in nitrogen - so you shouldnt feed the mother plant before taking cuts either.

when they have got roots some quarter strength liquid seaweed or something should sort them out - or use the basic lc mix with the wormcasts but not the ferts

yep, leaf coat.... its not bad in my opinion

or the rhizo diluted for foiliar

or like i said, dont give them anything

the seaweed is great once they have legs, as vd stated

also, plants absorb water through their leaves by osmosis - osmosis means that water will flow from low ionic concentrations to high concentrations. so if you put anything in the water that you spray the leaves with the plant is less able to rehydrate itself through it's leaves.

I'd have to agree with no feeding. If you give the clone everything it wants, roots won't go looking for water and food.

Maxicrop has worked well for me, or any kelp/seaweed extract as a foliar.
