Johnnydetroits' SCROG

[Propa Gator]

Johnny, my antsy friend. You'd have to be an expert with fancy hormones to get roots in six days. Or really (x2) lucky.

Ok..... . I assume ph being messed up is really slowing down the plants. Cross your fingers.

Try to be calm. Say Oommm

 

[johnnydetroit]

So no roots yet. Ph is 5.9, Showing yellow on a few leafs. Normal, I guess? there is nothing more I can do. Something does not feel right.

HEY SIT DOWN AND take a hit c-a-l-m down man killin my buz, took mine a week and a half to come out to just popped and explodeedd in two days be patient grasshopper you are doing your best already at 615ppm

Some strains take 2 weeks to root. The yellowing is perfectly normal. Give em time. Why do you only have 8 gallons in your res?

Johnny, if the Hanna pH meter is the "Checker" one, return it or destroy it so it cannot lie to another person again. Really, I have no idea why they make it. I had one and returned it when I could take successive readings that were going from 13 to 1 and back again within a couple of seconds. Any other meter from Hanna or other manufacturer has a chance of being useful, but the checker ones are worthless.

I''ll add more on the nute change when they get roots. R/O unit is in the mail. Been buying R/0 water from meijer 20 gallons at a time

 

[johnnydetroit]

No roots yet. Hmmm another fail. 3rd times a charm? 1/2 the leaves on each plant are brown and crumbly. Who knows Ill wait it out another week.

 

[420fied]

Does the water stream from your sprayers actually hit the stem part of the clone? If not, there's the culprit.

Johnny,

Check out my Wick Cloner thread.

Wick Cloner: simple, cheap and effective

Maybe you could start a set of clones in it while trying to get them started in the main grow area. The cloner isn't fast but it will produce clones with the bare roots you need for your system.

Ya there 100% soaked. The problem I think was my ph meter was broken. I bought a new one and realized the PH was 3.8 for the first week. Its been correct for like the last 4-5 days but I might of lost them or 1/2 of them. Is there a cut off date of no roots = total fail? Because this sat will be 2 weeks and I must say there is no roots and they don't look happy.

 

[Munki]

When my cuttings were in sitting in wet perlite, they never wilted but took about a month to show roots.

 

[Propa Gator]

RO water shouldn't even be checked for pH. Any additives to 'adjust', and it is no longer RO. pH is a ratio of ions. No disolved solids means no meaningful ratio.
Don't confuse yourself. Be patient.
Mine (cut same day as yours) are in wet rock wool, and I don't look for roots. I am patiently waiting for new growth.

 

[420fied]

My cuttings have been getting sprayed for 10 days and show no signs of roots. I expect them to root within the next 5 days.

 

[johnnydetroit]

Ok restart in the works. One plant rooted. My new mama . Anyways I found out R/0 water from meijer is fail. I have a new R/0 unit now with 2x DI filters. Pure R/0 here we come. Third times a charm. I want to put the clone with roots in soil medium I think, lets see how that goes . Thanks for watching and throwing some input in guys. This will be a master piece.

 

[johnnydetroit]

Cuttings in Round 3. 3rd times a charm? 5.9 ph ppm 50. 2x ph meters both reading the same . Cali dream and g13a/NYC Diesel. Cross your fingers. Here's some pic's. Not much to see.

 

[johnnydetroit]

Well nothing much yet. But they look healthy, no wilting or dryness like the first times. I believe it was due to ph being off. Come on roots

 

[johnnydetroit]

You guys didn't leave me here all alone did ya?

 

[Keith Lake]

I'm in here watching

 

[420fied]

I'm here.

Rootin' for roots! Third time's the charm.
