50 Clones in Rockwool - Soil Grow

[blink_inc]

Well, here they are.
50 clipped, 50 rooted.

They look a little defficient in N. We'll work on that soon.

Will be SOG with this batch to compare against ScRog which was done last time.

Temps are 74. RH is 65%. 18/6 for the next 2 weeks. Under Sunblaster Flouros.

Moving to under 2 x 400HPS in 2 weeks right to 12/12.

I do a similar thing just on a much smaller scale.

I see yellow. How old are they from clippings?

[PharmaCan]

I would trim off the yellow leaves and trim the leaves that are part yellow. Your cuttings were feeding on themselves when they didn't have roots, hence the yellow leaves. But now you want to promote new growth, not support old, so a little trimming will lead to healthier, more robust plants.

Trimming today.
Thanks.

I thought that the yellowing was the plant sucking up the N to make roots. Wow. Even what you search and read you really can't trust....
They will veg here for two weeks before flowering.

How's the ScrOg Pharma?

Opie, you thought right - and that is what I thought I said. The cuttings essentially use stored nutrients to live while they are developing roots. But now you have roots, so you don't need those old yellow leaves.

The ScROG is so-so. I started with six plants and had to pull two because there wasn't enough room. What's left seems to be growing pretty well, all things considered. Tomorrow is the end of week four. I have lots and lots of buds. If they fatten up I'll have a pretty decent harvest.

Here are some recent pics.
They clones seem to be doing well and have gained vertical growth.
New growth is appearing and browning seems to have minimized.

Humidity levels are still a concern as when lights are out it reaches a max of 90% RH. Lights on the minimum RH is 54%. I am picking up a little fan for them today.

If all grows at the same rate as the moms, these clones should reach a height of 6-8 inches after approx 2 weeks at which point we will flower.

The moms have been put into flower (pic attached) as they were getting too large for their home and since we are away in a few months, might as well get something from them. Do they look really stretched? The distance between nodes is like 1" plus....

Anyway, thats just the update for now.

Clones are in 4" pots that will be transplanted after 2 weeks of veg into 8" round by 10" high pots. Sometimes I use buckets from the dollar store and drill some draininge in the bottom.

I am using parkwood soil .9-.9-.9 or something like that with 1/5 perlite and 1/5 (3:1:1) vermiculite and botanicare organic nutes when it is time. I water with molasses from day one of flower 1 Tbsp/gal.

Height of area is only 4" and 4w 8 long. i can fit 50 8" posts in a 32 sq/ft area and if I can nab 1 oz of each I am done for the year.

They grew an inch since last night.
I put one into the flower room with the moms as an experiment. the lights are way too high though which will more than likely cause it to stretch.

the browning seems to have stopped and new growth all looks good and healthy.

Temps for the clones is 71 with RH of 62%

Watered lightly last night around the rockwool cube. I read that if the cube is always moist, stem rot could set in and that is not what we want.

I have this tempation to give them 1/8 nutes next watering. (botanicare 3-1.5-4)......must.....resist.....might..burn plants......
