I would prefer the Spectrum Technologies Field Scout (it's what I use in my research facilities,) but yes that is what you need. Focus only on PPFD, ignore ones with additional lux or foot candle readings - you only want/need PPFD.Quote:

If possible I would like to clone it into my soil less mix and i have clonex cloning gel as well as clone and seedling nutrients.
Thanks (=
Dont bother with nutes. Take a cutting, cut it off even, stick it under water, cut the end off at a 45 degree angle, dip in rooting gel, dip in wet rockwool cube. Put under gentle light for a couple of weeks and make sure the tray has some water for the rockwool.Quote:

I didn't want to try rockwool because my seed cubes grew algae last time.
I will let you know how it goes.
I've noticed that rockwool tends to get algae, even if you use pH'd RO water. I think the stuff is just dormant in the rockwool itself and activates with water.
It's not a problem once they get under the good lights, because they grow so fast the algae gets no light within a couple of weeks.
So my friend needed to top the baby plants I am sitting and was kind enough to give me the tops. I went ahead and did the same process with them. These plants are:
1. Vortex, 1st gen clone (top)
2. OG Larry, 1st gen clone (top), from seed/mom #3
3. Unknown Seed, Nicknamed "Lemongranite", 1st gen clone (top)
Time to get medicated!
:rasta:
Now im down to 9 of 12 original seedlings. Most are doing well, and about three are really starting to grow.
None of the bluetooth made the cut. the seeds were small and i was worried about them. looks like for good reason. ill have to try this strain again another time with my remaining seeds.
Tomorrow through the weekend is going to be busy. I need to start on a new light proofing technique so i can begin flowering larry. once that is set i have to move all of the lights into place, set the timers, and start the big stretch.
