here we are in december and M.V.B is about to start a hempy bucket.
i bought europonics rockwool conditioner, GH Flora Nova, lemon juice, baking soda, rootech cloning gel, and some rockwool cubes.
i am going to convert my other half of the grow box into a cloning chamber.
i will take 1 clone then wait to see how fast it will grow.
the first stages of life do you give it straight water, or a weak nute solution?
the bucket is set up, is the medium supposed to just float over the water?
and if it takes 3 1/2 months from start to finish on my mother plant, how long will it take to go from start to finish from clone?
also consider mother=soil grown
clone=hempy bucket.
my clones from start to finish run about 11 weeks. I start mine in 1.5 in rw cubes, after 7-8 days I have roots enough to transplant to 4 in rw cubes. Plain water with 1 drop of Superthrive per gallon and ph at 6.0 to start. After moving to 4 in blocks I start 1/4 to 1/2 nute strength. when you say medium floats on top of water can you elaborate a little?
the perlite/vermiculite just floats in the bucket.
i add water the perlite/vermiculite gets wet then floats to the top.
if i stick my hand in the perlite/vermiculite it is solid then if i work my hand past the drain hole it is nothing but water.
i only have 1.5 RW cubes, can they be dropped into the bucket after good root growth?
the clone is taking.
the leaves are droopy but the stem is stiff.
the internodes are growing out.
the main cola has streched a bit, but im thinking about supercropping it.
i cant wait to have some hydro.
can i use non-sulfured blackstrap mollasses in a hempy bucket.
1 TBS to 1 Gallon?
then add GH flora nova 1/2 TSPN to 1 gallon.
then add baking soda to adjust the ph?
bump.
im going to add pics when my camera is charged.
