Home.Grower - It is common to deprive the mother plant of any nutrients for one week before cutting clones. This puts the plant into a nitrogen deficiency which promotes faster root growth in the clones. While the cutting has to no roots, and therefore no means of nutrient uptake, it is senseless to feed it via the rockwool. Foliar feeding is counterproductive at this point because you want to force the plant to grow roots so that it can eat. If you are foliar feeding it won't be as hungry so won't root as fast. Meanwhile, the cutting neads nutrition from somewhere so it is "eating" its leaves.

If those were my clones, I would trim the leaves and cut of all the brown parts and a lot of the yellow parts. For trimming the yellow, you mainly are just trying to cut down on unneeded weight that the cutting must support - and your cuttings look nicer and healthier so it does some good things as far as your attitude is concerned too.

Nice looking growroom!!!! :thumbsup:

This time I am working in a smaller space approximately 5' x 8' in measure, which is actually a custom partition in a small bedroom. The room has been implemented from scratch. A 4" x 2" timber frame was cut to fit, MDF panels were cut to fit, and a custom sliding door was installed due to space issues. The Garden has 2 x 160mm unfiltered air inlets from outside. Rating: 5
