In the time I've been doing this, I've cloned mostly, starting new seeds for better quality occasionally.. I've always used my DIY 3 gallon bubble cloner using only my tap water (180ppms/8.0 PH), for everything else RO is used with the nutes. Success has been about 85%. and most in less than 2 weeks, brainless. I hadn't checked ppm&ph until this last run.. In a couple months I'm going away for a month (could use useful info about Adam) and do not want to start over with new genetics when I get back and think that I can take some cuttings, put them into the cloner a day or two before I leave and they should be very well rooted when I get back. Have a test cloning run going right now and this is what I'd like to understand better. I put the cuts in (3 strains BB Cheese (2 phenos) and C99).
The BBCheese 1st pheno (BBC6) rooted in 10 & 11 days (4 cuts) the second pheno (BBC4) and C992 are a 18 days and am starting to see the white bumps on them. The BBC6 roots are going wild and consider them maybe the best looking roots I ever had.
The ppms now in the cloner are 300 and PH is 7.8.. The rest will root shortly..
Would all (and I know this is a dumb question) be better off with PHed water @ 5.8-6.5? Strain specific I know.. I post this here because I know that the nubies get and need information here from many of the most knowledgeable members now I need it.. hoping the answers will enlighten me and others.
