Not enough. This is coco, not soil. It's a soil-less medium. I'd give way more. Soon, once in final pot...you will need to water them to wet the whole thing. For now...the piecemeal watering you're doing is OK. Bump up to 1 cup on the little ones and maybe a pint on the bigger ones. I...
New study out showing it doesn't do much. Personal choice. And you do have loads of time left. Watch pistils if you have no way to see trichs. Full red hairs that start disappearing as bud swells. Then you are almost there.

And always go by the buds and how they look. Harvest times...
Grown on coco before? There are a few tricks to it. I'd say you could feed them any time now. I'd go maybe 1/4 strength at first. Clones can handle strong feedings...but often company doses on the bottle are too high. So to avoid burning them...start low and work up.
You want to get...
Bingo...there ya go. Over in the EU and especially in Amsterdam with that low salty land...the do lots of commercial greenhouse grows for veggies, But almost always top drip. I am too leary of toxic salts accumulating to use it flood and drain.

I harvest. dried and cured the yield from 5 G13Widow plants recently. I have to say...I've been growing for over 40 years and this is the first harvest I weighed. It was about a pound. I shit you not...so these were small plants...not trees. I suppose 1 1/2' when I flipped and finished about...
I bid on a lot of rockwool at an auction. Won it. I have 4 cases of various Grodan block sizes. I'm toying with the idea of putting a big momma 8" block into a Waterfarm rig. Fits perfectly...but would have to hand water. Never a shortage of rockwool around here.
JD
Well just do like I do when I reuse coco. I just keep rinsing it till the water comes out clean and low ppm. Whatever's in the cube...your plant probably won't like it.
JD
So I could take that money...buy a small All American pressure cooker and a lab grade heat plate...and have a more versatile setup? No stealth issues at my place.

Hi Arby,
Mind a few questions? I'm now on a search for a decarb method that preserves terps. You seem happy with the Ardent Nova...any problems with it?
Ya, I hate the sublingual burning from the alcohol. Do you do a final filter thing before vaping?
JD
Making a cross also allows that offspring to be more adapted to your growing conditions. So a clone Momma from those seeds (on down the line) would be well adapted to growing there at your place.
JD
You actually have kind of a cool situation there. I say ask your buddy, once he gathers the pollen, to bring a little over to pollinate a single branch. I'm sure he knows how...but if you turn all fans off...remove the female victim to another room...pollinate a lower branch lightly and mark...
Good plan. 3 of my flowering plants right now were clone Mommas. Now they get to fulfill their destiny...and I'll just have to find new ones once I start up again in the fall.
JD
Are you good at cloning? There's a nice technique I call cloning for gender. As soon as your plants get tall enough so that you can take a cutting from it...take that cutting and place it in rockwool or whatever then under 12/12. Mark everything carefully. When the clones show gender...then...
I say don't worry about it. Just plant some seeds and watch them closely...it's fun making selections. Have you done any pollen chucking in the past? The skills aren't overwhelming...but the environment has to be correct. Having stray pollen floating around is not good...if you have other...
My idea would fit in better if you were using HID lighting. Infrared heats up leaves more then leds and causes this phenomena to happen more readily..
Good luck and hope they make it.
