So I've been having real problems with this batch of clones. My cloning gel was a couple of years old and I think it was either contaminated or just dead. It wasn't just the wifi's, the BCK also rooted slow. The clones are 5 weeks old and only 4 of the 10 clones I cut are fully rooted. The others are starting to turn the corner but still looking sickly. I have to get this batch of clones into flower in 7 weeks or else I'll have timing issues with the following crop.
Sorry to hear about that. I switched from Clonex gel to Dip-N-Gro a while back because of the same issues.
Well, I have to get some new stuff so I'll give that a try if my hydro shop has it in stock. That's a powder right?
how do you think they will yield smilley ? compared to anything else you grew? thanks willyweed
IC OVO - Yup, they're the frostiest I've grown. I'm really looking forward to tasting the bubble hash off the fresh trim and popcorn. Hoping for 5 or 6g depending on how generous I get with the popcorn. The buds have a long way to fatten up though. Still, it looks like some may go over 70 days so lotsa time to swell. The small plant (2 pics above) has 90% red pistols while the rest are only starting to change, maybe 10%. I'm thinking the small one will finish a week earlier than the others. I won't get the scope out for a couple more weeks.
I think I'm getting a feel for them now so next crop should be a better effort. I'll be interested to see the root masses after harvest. They're only taking up half the water of last years HSD. I'm really gonna focus on building root mass on the vegging clones. I backed off on the nutes after about week 4. I was feeding them 25ml PBP per gal but was getting some heat burn on the big fans near the lamp so I scaled back to 20ml per gal and everything seems good. No other additives except a little ph down to balance it. I also moved all the plants back about 2 inches from the lamp. It's a fine line between too close and too far.
