I don't know Celcius... Neither should you :)

Just kidding...


Yeah something like that... Anything that draws air over and around the buds will work well... But you have to be careful not to dry them to quick or you'll trap chlorophyl in there...

If it weren't for drugs, nobody in the us would know the metric system... Even then we put thing in ounces... 28.4 grams- one ounce...

I wonder what the normal weights shit sells for is... 30 gram bags? And what are they called?

Maybe instead of ounce it's called a "royale with cheese" on account of the metric system... Do you know what those crazy motherfuckers dip their french fries in?

So I'm right about to take cuttings from my plants... planing on about saturday... hopefully.

The plants are a month and a half or so into the vegetative stage and about 6 inches big and are in smallish containers right now. I want to try and successfully root the clones before putting the plants into flower so I don't screw myself. And if it doesn't work now I still have one more shot before flowering time.

My plan is to flush the regular water tonight and tomorrow move the plants from the small containers to 2 gallon buckets in my ebb & grow system and add some final flush to the water.

On Friday was going to give them a light bloom feeding to give them low nitrogen levels coupled with high Phosphorous (I think? or potassium) so they can root fast after I take the cuttings on Sat.

First off does that sound like a good plan and would there be anything that you would change? Secondly after you take the cuttings would you use any nutrient water or just regular tap water (I'm using rapid rooters in a humidity dome under some growlux bulbs).

Last question - When you flush with just regular water should you adjust the pH to the 5.8 - 6.2 range or is leaving the pH alone OK?

Thanks

I'll ignore a bunch of that, and tell you to take the cuttings first... You can do a light bloom feeding tomorrow, take cuttings on saturday, and replant on sunday/monday...


You don't want to transplant and try to take cuttings, too much shock...


On aside, you want to always adjust the pH of your water... That is, unless you're using plain RO water... It's not necessary, and nearly impossible to adjust.

Sorry man... Been dealing with this guy who's got mold everywhere he's saying... And I've been trying to help him out... But he just said he's been pouring milk into the soil...

Yep... I just use plain water...

The rapid rooters have hormones and a light nutrient solution in it already... Don't overwater them... You'll need a mister sprayer to wet the plugs, it doesn't take much to keep them moist, just check on the every now and then... I took 100 clones, and am about to check on them... I think they should be ready soon, i forget how old they are... I've only had to mist them twice, but I'm thinking they're more than a week old, so maybe they have roots... I guess I should check...


What I'm trying to say is to take it easy on them, don't too much care of the clones.

I have few choices of where to shop and I'm not going to be ordering anything online---at least this time around. I have been looking for some kind of foliar juice. Don't laugh.....I'm growing under flourescents. I just feel it needs ALL the boost it can get. Anyway....there are no wonderful garden centers where I live, so nutrients are limited to Home Depot/Lowes. After several inquiries, I learned of one small garden center. The nutes available were limited. What I found was a foliar juice with combining ingredients of manure tea, fish kelp, apple cider vinegar, molasses and magnesium sulfate. Nitrogen reads .2%, Phosphate .75% and Potash 2%. These seem like extremely low levels of each. Can I safely assume that they are in fact low enough to lightly foliar feed plants in the morning.....say, three times a week?.....maybe more? Also, I found one single bag of phosphate......triple super phosphate. The application directions read 2 lbs. per 100 sq. feet. I realize overdosing can cause burn. My question is, will an extremely light application watered in be beneficial?
Oh, and is apple cider vinegar beneficial in balancing the ph?

To be honest, it'd be a waste of money...

I used the entire Advanced Nutrients 2+ Foliar spray and didn't see a significant difference, so there is no way in hell that stuff will do you any good... Sorry.

Do a search of "Hydroponic" shops in your city on google, if there aren't any, check nearby cities, it may be worth the trip...



You can have good results with basic fertilizers you'll find at hardware stores... But none will perform as well as a nutrient formulated with the purpose of growing cannabis in mind.

I don't order from online either, but a bunch of people do if that's you last resort...


Mane2008 has a stickied thread of good online shops...

OK, for now, I'll just gather that it definitely won't kill my plants. Since I'm big on babying my plants, using it can't hurt. At least that's what I'm getting for feedback thus far. I'm big on experimenting and I pay very close attention to all possible affects.
