So far 3 have popped and have my doubts about the three that haven't. .. luckily the plants in hempys that I threw outside have recovered nicely. Should be able to take some Skywalker clones and maybe the jolumbo but I'm contemplating letting it go after it flowers out.

White rhino and two of the sugar haze. They are now in a root riot under the flourecent

Have you always germinated like that?

I germinated my 2 current ones in Root Riot plugs as well, and I like them, but I felt like they dried out fast.. I like the little shot glasses idea.

Usually if I use them for cloning I put them in a dome. But since they will be going straight into the aero unit I felt like they didn't need it. Anyway yeah they pretty much dried out overnight so the shot glasses act like a passive hydro system I suppose. Should be able to leave them over the weekend with out them drying out to much. We shall see or I'll come back to dead plants.

I am thinking they should last but just in case I'll give them all one more dunk. I am a huge fan of not having to check on plants daily, haha.

Oh yeah and the lemon skunk finally popped this morning. So I put it into a root riot and shot glass like the others.

@Jad3 I fill up shot glasses and just drop the seeds into the water until I see the seed split, then into the root riot plugs. If they don't pop before that they probably won't imo.

So a couple of them are still drinking a full glass over 24 hours. Must be hot during the day. I rigged up a tray and insert rack that sits about an inch above the bottom of the tray. Filled it up with water until I could see it in the bottom of the insert.hopefully that'll last the next 2 days. Ill try to snap a pic before I leave and then ill be back sunday.

Well to my suprise it looks like everything survived and the last seed finally popped. Took some sky walker clones. Will be building the flower unit this week to transfer the tomatoes over and get that section dialed in. Man I feel way better after the screw up with the hempys.


Also added the pictures of the make shift table. A couple of the plugs dried out but the tap root was in the water. Little worried about one of the seeds but it should pull through.

Welp, I missed my date. Been super busy between life and work. Everything that is in the cloner still looks good luckily. Def starting to see some yellowing on the seedlings. But it is to soon to start adding nutes because the Skywalker clones haven't rooted yet.

Anyway I plan to veg until we move. Which sounds like it is for sure going to happen. We are no longer allowed to have our dogs at out Apt... They don't allow Pitbulls and we told them he was a terrier mix. Anyway that's another story.

So instead of having issues moving plants mid flower, I'll have to figure out how to control 8 plants vegged for 3 months. I may starve them a little to keep them from growing to fast. Either way to big of plants is a better problem then, stinky flowering plants that could go into shock and break or just overall get fucked up.

I'll still update once there is something to update. Probably when the Skywalker actually roots. Should be this week.

When it rains it pours. Lost 4 out of 5 Skywalker clones (still have the plant outside so will be able to get more). Checked the PH of my cloner and it was at 8.1... Turns out the PH up I have takes about 24 hours to show real change. Added Ph down it dropped to 3.4 added an equal amount of PH up and ph went to 3.8... Decided to leave it overnight. Will check again after work.

This probably explains why the seedlings are yellowing so quickly... Because every single nute available to them is locked out.

Also, In case anyone is wondering I am basically not growing right now. My seedlings are still in the cloner tub hopefully able to stay alive long enough to move and then take clones again. I threw in a very mild dose of nutes but I really haven't been taking care of anything.

Story of my life! And when I finally put them outside they either went directly into flower on a tiny clone or grew a bit - flowered - vegged -and starting to flower. The only thing that looks good are the sativas from seed - which are not showing sex yet - and the female clone of Purple Haze.

Purple haze and company:



Cheers,
Mo
