No fert AT ALL.
Be sure the RW is at the correct pH.
Mycos are nice once you know you've got survival, but on your first go-round I'd leave them out.
STERILIZE your dome and tray before use.
Mist the leaves with wilt-pruf and allow to dry before putting the dome on, then mist the inside of the dome, not the plants.
Don't use the heat mat if your ambient temps are over about 72ish. It will be slightly warmer under the dome, and TOO MUCH heat can encourage fungus.
Stinky, I have no wilt-pruf, so thats out the door. But i will heed ur words on the fert.... is that no ferts for the first couple of days, or no ferts until the clones are planted??
I cloned this morning, soaked in Ph 5 water (very hard H2O in Mich. were i live) with some mycos in the water for about 10 minutes. When i soaked the RW i sprinkled some mycos in the water while they were soaking, my thoughts were that the RW would accept the subcultures as they were soaking, dont know if that is right or nt but im sure it cant hurt em. Also used rootechgel. They are now under 2 CFL's one is a blueish daylight bulb, and the other has more yellows and oranges.
The clonoes right now are kinda tipping over, but the leaves havent wilted at all and look like they are keeping their riggidness, so i think they are alright. I woiuld imagine however that, those lil clones are pretty stressed right now tho, so i guess i cant blame them, hopefully their posture is better tomorow.
My temp in the dome has been hovering around 70F today and RH is about 45%. I would like to get the temp up, tomoro i think ill get a heat pad, but is tha tRH ok Stinky???? This is my first clones so its all new again..
Thnx, Westo :thumbsup:
RH under the dome should be a lot higher than that. Do you have a good seal around the edges? If you aren't using an anti-wilt, you will have to mist the inside of the dome more often.
I avoid nutes until the clones are rooted, planted, and showing signs of upward growth.
Finally, you really only need the single CFL. Too much light makes the plants active- photosynthesizing and using up stored nutes for vertical growth- and you really don't want that yet. It's like trying to go to work and the gym and the grocery store instead of staying in bed recovering from the flu. Let them tell YOU when thye are ready for nutes and strong light.
K sounds like a plan SA, Thnx
