Moved the three clones into the hydro tank last night and got everything up and running. Lighting is on 18/6 for now.

And then this morning I went in to check on them and found this:





I've seen fresh cuttings hit the deck like this, but never rooted clones. I had the drip lines running too, so you wouldn't think they'd be hurting for water. Just to be safe, though, I repositioned them lower down in the net pots and made sure the roots were touching the water. They actually perked up a bit after I did that - they looked even worse when I first woke up.

The big clone is still happy at least.



While I was working with them this morning I actually had a wild thought - one I might try next time around. What if I took one clone and the LST'd it all the way around the tank and then into the center before I flowered it. Think that'd be pretty wild .

Temps seem ok too, although it's hard to be sure. It looks like my thermometer is malfunctioning. It was telling me it was 101 in the tent last night and there's no way it was that hot. I actually stood inside the tent with the doors closed and while it was warm it was quite comfortable. I'm guessing the true temp was closer to 80.

Res temps spiked with the HPS, but I sort of expected that. I've got my ghetto chiller online and it'll gradually bring the temps back down.

pH didn't change at all, despite the pH Down I added so I dumped in some more lol.

And on a happy note, while planting to clones I noticed that two other cuttings were showing a touch of vertical growth. I peaked and, yep, they're just starting to put out roots. So I'll have five plants of very different sizes lol. I'll have to do some pruning to get them all even once they've hardened a bit more.

Key Numbers:
TDS - 580ppm @ 0.7
pH - 6.4 :wtf:
Res Temps - 82F
Ambient Temps - ???
