First of all....yes please compile all your post into one, it's much easier that way, and looks less clusstered in the thread, you can edit your last post and add questions to it if you think of them after you postt once in the thread. We dont like post boosters here.....
Now onto your questions...
k.. so do u put cuttings in here or do u root them sumwhere else first??? looks like urs r in jiffy things then put into hempy cups (could be wrong)... u say water everyday till roots hit resavoir... jus straight water or nute mixes too??? and once the roots hit the resavoir, how long do u go b4 watering agn???
I cut clones and root them in Rock wool cubes inside a humidity dome. then transplant when i see lots of roots poking out into the hempy cups. sometimes i use the soil plugs to root, but it just depends on what i have at the moment.
I like to use just clean PH'd water the first few days to get the roots moving first. It really depends on the size of your pot, and how wet the mix is the next day, if its still really wet i'd wait a day in between watering. if it's dry and light, you should add some water until it runs out the hole. You'll know when the tap root hits the rez. because you will HAVE to water every other day. You can still overwater these, by watering everyday if they do no need it. Trust me my northern lights is proof of this.
1 more thing?? that plant in the pics.. seed or clone??? weeks vegged under what lights???
The plant pictured in this thread is a clone from a PPP I had as a mother, now this is my new PPP mother. I would say at the time of the pics it was vegged probably three weeks from clone under 18/6 lights, 1-250 watt HPS with 6 100 watt equivalent CFL's for side lighting in my mother cabinet. I start clones under a four foot shop light with flouro's in it.
and after the roots hit the res??? how long till a transplant is needed?? r the roots still gonna grow up above the res??? will they not drown???
The roots will grow into the rez, and accumulate like you see in my avatar. That is the bottom of the same plant in this thread on transplant day. The roots still grow like in soil, just faster and healthier if you do it right. Yes they grow all over inside the cup, enough to hold together all the perlite so that you dont lose any in transplant. Thats pretty tight!!
1 more quest.. i know i shulda waited to post 1 but as i read other threads i had more that i wanted to know... how long from when u put the clone into a 16oz hemy will it take to hit the res.. i wanna do a sog with little to no veg but if i go hempy im gonna want it to hit that res atleast once b4 i bud them...
Hemy? Are we talking dodges?....LOL
This is true....in fact, if youd like to come over to my current grow journal i am doing the same thing right now. Trying to see the limit on growth inside the plastic red cups i use to flower in those. I put a WW clone in hempy cup about.......oh i'd say two - three weeks ago and its doubled in size in that time. I am planning on rooting my clones in the domes, then when they are exploding with roots, transplant into hempys, then line up under my flouros where the tray was to let them root a bit before going into flower. This way i dont have to switch any lighting timers, or need anymore space to vegg in.
Hope this helps ya man.....love to see more hempy growers on here!
