Well I have been using RO Water with 1 Drop of PH Down and a couple drops of Super Thrive in a Half Gallon Container.. I honestly dont think its Burn, cause its not crispy. It really just looks like MOLD, but does not really act like mold. It takes a week or so before it dries up. It also does not seem to attack the Margins or Tips, just Across those LONG FINGER like Leaves at and about the Base. I Simply cant lock this one down and its very frustrating :wall:.. I took more clones a couple of days ago, and I can see this same thing happening to a couple of those. I am also going to try and pick up some seaweed extract today and see if I can get that to work for me.

Its not crispy because its not enough pH down to get it crispy.

... if you cut out the pH on a few clones, it won't cost you anything. Either way, Seaweed extract is always a good thing in the growers cabinet. :peace:

I always ph my water for the misting of my clones to 5.8 and never had any ill effects using ph down. I think his problem is not misting them and leaving the dome off before they have even rooted. They arent supposed to be getting air until rooted

Thanks for the Input Boss!! Actually I find that many people dont mist their clones at all because it promotes Mold and Fungus,,, and I would say the amount of growers that leave their dome on until actually rooted is a 50 - 50 toss up.. Many are acclimating their clones to RH as soon as possible, also in order to fend off Molds and Rot.

Where did you read that most people don't mist their clones at because it promotes mold/fungus? I never had that issue and my rooter plugs are usually always soaked. I only take the lid off to mist, then I put it back on. I also use superthrive but I use it AFTER they have rooted. Plain PH'ed water have been great to me :) I can upload some pics of the clones I have ready for potting if you want to see my results

I will certainly cut out that drop and see if that might help. Regarding the Seaweed Extract, I assume I will need to dilute it down and use as a Foliar Spray?

Didnt say I read it anywhere, this is my observation from the Vast amount of reading and research I have been doing. In fact Watts (here on WOH) also suggested to me on one of my previous Grow Journals to NOT mist the Clones and Only mist the Dome. I have read this same thing MANY times in other journals, etc, etc..

Now i have no doubt that misting them works for many, and I also think it depends on the environment your Living/Growing in.. But what I should be asking is,, Why do you think NOT Misting them is causing this problem?? I am not sure you explained, and I would certainly like to know. :p

I mist because it has always WORKED for me lol...I mist my seeds before they pop and I do the same for the cuttings and have had 100% of all cuts I ever took survive. You should test it out and see if you get better results.

Check this video out for cloning tips

Yes, diluted. its comes just like you might expect. brown and smelling of the sea lol. ... It really good stuff Rusty. I'm sure youve googled it anyhow.

It definetly has any many curatative and preventative effects on the plant. I spray leaf and stem.

Incidentally, ... IMO the best method when foliar spraying anything, is to mist, then allow the plant to dry a little (transpire). This process stimulates the cells to produce roots. In the first few days though I just keep as close to maximum humidity as I can.

Those are 'true' purple strains. ... As has been demonstrated several times, finding the Ken's GDP 'purple pheno' is as rare as hen's teeth. It doesn't bother me too much because its such a nice plant.

Nice find Dank. another entry into the 'purple hempy' hall of fame.:clap:

Moebius, its been difficult for people to get the purple pheno for the plushberry too. From what I've read, Ken's GDP is nothing more than Purple Urkel x Big Bud. Yours may lean more towards the big bud side with massive colas. If you want a true purple, check out gage greens mendo montage. Looks interesting.

I'm looking to see how the lemon at or and lemon kush work out. Please keep sending updates!

Will post an update of Lemonator and Lemon Kush in an hour or so, I had assumed people were only interested in flowers but I do think vegging plants have their own story too. ... these two look promising and have my ~spidey sense~ tingling.

I've just planted my germed 'Pineapple Skunk' and 'Mazar Kush' strains too. ... I decided I may as well run a few strains side-by-side in low numbers. 'Carpe Diem' and all that.

Do you guys grow your moms in hempy? I've heard that coco isnt the greatest medium for moms due to lockouts after prolonged use. What are your methods? I'm thinking soil might be the way to go, but I've never grown in soil so I'm not sure where to start. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Soil is the way to go, but if you go hempy, I run mine in a perlite / vermiculite mix like my other 2 liters. In fact, since we're all switching to coco, I can just use what perlite I have to fill the res or use for moms.

I would agree with you on using soil for moms especially for prolonged times of keeping them. Soil is a much better buffer.

Saved one of the "finicky" Bf LSD's at 32 days veg and put in a little 5 quart coco bucket with a low 250w setting on the Lumatek ballast ....been in flower for 4 days. Still finicky....when you see her as the lights first turn on she's all wimpy and drooped...even yellow looking....not a morning person. By the end of the 12hour light periods shes all praising the light gods with leaves uplifted and green again. She's not drinking much either even with a res hole @ 1" above bottom. Pulled her out tonight and gave her a dose of "Silver Chair" on the Les Paul...maybe she needs some grunge to get motivated. A little Ecstasy and LSD can't hurt any living thing.

With soil would I just continue to use my grow nutes? Or should I add some micro as well? Thanks again for all the input.

Edit- is one soil better than another?

I'm not going to get in the argument as I believe it is personal preference and what your capabilites are, if you have the ability to make supersoil then go for it. I have used straight compost and Dr Earth's vegetable potting soil with great success. It's something you should be comfortable and familar with. As far as nutes go, yes, use your micro with your grow. As to how much, your plants will let you know when they lack something and you need to correct it.

The new DNA "Sharksbreath" sprouts are rocking in coco hempy cups....these are only 7 days old from breaking the coco surface. It's been 3 days since feeding with Canna "Start" which both the BF Blue Cheese and LSD burned with in succession (this didn't even burn lettuce or basil sprouts). I grew C99 and Pineapple Express with "Start" in the first week and they are on the record books. Notice the slight hint of yellow in the green..that's the coco effect robbing a little cal/mag and is easily corrected with once old enough to feed it. Tomorrow at day 8, these newbies get a light 80% mix of Canna Coco A&B with a a half shot of Cal/Mg...I'll hold the Cannazyme till week 3. Now I know I'm back in the saddle with prolific strain... Next week at the 2 week mark you won't believe the transition in stem diameter and inter-nodal density and it will be FIM time already. Instead of Mapito this time (which was a killer medium), my 2 gal buckets will see a layer of Grodan Rockwool chunks (3/4" cubes) along the bottom 2" res with the same chunks strewn throughout the coco coir. I'll call it Cocito! As with the "Mapito" I'm looking to keep that minimum 3-day watering frequency in late flower while keeping the aeration in that explosive "hydro" category. Coco itself can drop to every 2 days with heavy drinkers in weeks 7 & 8 in the 2gal bucket.
