I'm using the toast technique for cloning 4 more cuttings. Most of the cuttings which I took before died, except for the 3 that were transferred to the toast technique. Those are very happy and healthy.
I want at least one clone of each of my plants until I figure out which is the best of the bunch.

Ambrosia Under CFL & Two LED 450's

If it works for you, why not. The last bunch of clones that I took, I used an aeroponics cloner, straight coco and some with advanced nutrients cloning plugs. They all rooted but the fastest was AN plugs and the healthiest was from the aero cloner. I've never tried out your way, I wouldn't mind trying it using coco.

Just 2 days shy of 2 weeks on 12/12. I was expecting more of a stretch, but I guess not.

Also watered with terpinator today

Aphrodite, Achelois and Antheia are growing more every day. I sure think they are beautiful. I'm trying 3 of the clones out of the bags...

I culled the males from the outdoor grow today. 7 females left and they are growing well.

I find I get a lot less stretch using led's than hps. Even when I mix them up, the plants under leds stay shorter.

 

[RedHector]

Iv been wondering. They seem healthy but they are staying quite short.

I gave the girls a big watering today. Cal-magic, terpinator, massive bloom and liquid w8.

 

[RedHector]

Here are a few photos of the girls today. Looking happy to me.

I thinned a few more fan leaves out, and spread the canopy out with ties.

I was out of town for the long weekend, so they were overdue for a good feeding. 3 weeks of 12/12 and a bit of frost showing.
The clones are growing again, so this is good news. Thanks all for the guidance on the toast method.
Have a good evening.

Thanks Vesp, I'm pretty happy with them for a first grow. I'm out of town again and going through withdrawal, not being able to see/touch/pamper them. I've been noticing some rust coloured dry brittle patches on the leaves. Not necessarily at the tip of the leaves. Any ideas?
I'll post a photo later when I get better service.

Usually Calcium or a ph problem. .

 

[RedHector]

I've been supplementing with Cal-magic and ph my water and nutrients to 6 to 6.5ph. I haven't checked the runoff though. I'll do that tomorrow when I'm back in town.

 

[RedHector]

5 weeks I flower. I took out the lower net so i could drain the runoff and check the ph. It was between 6 and 6.5. Seems ok. I don't know what is going on with these leaves. Any help would be appreciated.

Red, those look they have been over watered. Leaves will show that yellowing as well. The droop in the upper mid shows a fair bit of droop. That and humid air with no circulation will cause this also.

 

[RedHector]

I actually under watered. Due to a few recent events, I went 6 days between watering, and 7 days between watering the week before. There is a circ fan and exhaust fan running 24 hrs per day. Humidity is usually 40%. The heat has really climbed up though on several occasions. If my wife shuts the garage door, then the heat gets to be overwhelming. We've had the discussion though, and hopefully it won't be happening in the future.
