New Grow and cloning questions.

[dusto2k3]

Alright, I just transplantes about 3 dozen AK-47 clones from RW to ProMix BX with these ingredient: ( also used vit B-1 in the water to soak the promix before I used it.)


Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss
(75-85 % / vol.) Dolomitic & Calcitic Limestone
(pH adjuster)

Endomycorrhize (Mycorise® Pro)

Macronutrients

Perlite â?? horticultural grade (i added a bunch more to mare it about 30% perlite.)

Micronutrients

Vermiculite

Wetting Agent

When should I start adding nutes, now or wait like a week?

Also, for a sog in a 4x4 with a 1k HPS, how long should I let these clones veg for? I have 30 and they are gonna go into 8"x8" square pots, (attatched is a pic. I put a razor blade in the cup for a size reference.)

[BlueBear]

I would start small doeses of nutes once there rooted if you are flipping to 12-12 quick. I would let them root for 10 to 14 days then flip.

thanks blue bear. Some only have a node or three, should I veg until there are 5 or so?

[BlueBear]

Waiting for the fith node would be very benificial, but if you have a bushy strain, you may have to do some agressive bottom branch trimming threwout the grow, but if the strain is relativly a top cola producer you should not have to much prooning.

Do you have a steady mother plant for those AK clones Dusto? I'm real impressed by the nice nugs you got from your last harvest, even though you thought the plants were doing badly. The clones look nice & happy too.

[BlueCat]

Hey dusto I am doing about the same thing as you...but not as many.

Can you tell me the purpose of the vit b-1 in the water?

Thanks
Cat

[dusto2k3]

Doco, we got about 12 zips after all was said and done. And it's nice.

BLuecat: Vitamin B1 Plus stimulates the quick formation of new root hairs and revitalizes the delicate feeder roots that are often damaged in transplanting.

All: I just put the clones inthe the Hydro Hut, ill post pics in the morning, i have to charge my battery. I'm curious of how high to put the 1K hps above the lil ones?

[dusto2k3]

i can only hope for more this time.

[BlueCat]

Wow thanks dusto I did not know that! I will have to get some b1. I have one clone now that is not doing so well and I am sure it is becuase it does not have a good root system. It is growing but the leaves are really teeny tiny.

[dusto2k3]

yeah its cheap, like $5 a gallon

[BlueBear]

If ventalation is good in the hut I would start about 3 FT away and then by the end of the first week try to bring it down to a foot or less if venting is good.

Hey, dusto2k3. Good luck with your clones. I have nothing really to add here.

I just wanted a link to where you posted the harvest pics of those 12 zips. :D Did you have a log? I don't remember...so many, ya know. But I thought I would have remembered one with a yield that large, unless you didn't post it... :what:

That B-1 info is good too. Thank you for that.

I have just been extremely lucky when it comes to cloning. My method is typed out in my thread and elsewhere littered around the boards if you care to take a look...not soil, tho.

Thanks, dusto. Be lookin' for that link...unless I search and find it first! ;)

bluebear, i dont think i explained well, the clones are well rooted and right now I've had the HPS on them for about 13 hours now and i don't see any problems. I do have excelent ventilation. ! 6" vortex cooling and air cooled !K HPS and a 4" vortex for exhaust. I can get the lamp really close, about 10 inches before I notice the temps getting out of hand.

[dusto2k3]

This is what it looks like now.

[TheGreenFog]

Oh, yea, I remember. Nice. I like that AK-47. It's sweet. I haven't looked much but mostly what I can find on some seedsites are AK-48, but havent seen the 47 anywhere...hmmm.

New plants look good. Those are the clones, I suppose? VERY NICE.

Looking forward to a wonderful new grow log. Cheers.
