Cloner update!!!
So totally shattered all FE records for root production. BOOM!
ACDC could go in the pot today (day 5) with plenty of roots. It had nubs on day 3 roots on 4. All have roots besides one (forget which) but the ACDC is a gentle strain and both took with no issue's
I didn't even heat the res this time maybe that was better. Best part is it wasnt even a clean run...The first day I forgot to vent the tub so it wilted most of them. 5 of 6 have roots and all different strains... Couple more days in the cloner as I had better luck letting the roots grow some before sending off to veg. But I am on topfeed now and this is my first batch from cloner to top feed. I understand that it will have zero issues carrying roots down once they have established. The seeds I planted loved it... Bama this method is the best I have found or have read about.. Remember it was just ph .. 110 ppm added base nutes... 40 ppm water. that was it... It is a delicate balance.. still need air and stuff read the plants but jeez... kicked ass...
I guess I will continue with my situation.... I appear to have corrected what ever ailed my plant. I am kinda bummed that I do not know what the answer was. And I am not 100 % sure it is fixed. But I believe it is just the damage is damage. Growth and all is fine.. They did slow down a couple days some but seem to have resumed. It is hard to tell if new growth is coming in with same situation... But i dont believe so. I'll snap some pics in a bit.. this was just suppose to be a cloner thing...
So I added major air to the flower res and added some more to veg. Did the res changes a week ago. Seem to be holding steady. So here is what I think.... and really feel free to pipe up and throw some shit at my theory...
I don't think it was air but the increase is never a bad thing really.
The res had not changed in veg for 3 plus weeks or so... The plants where hitting some serious growth. I added the new T5 and the growth and water intake etc spiked. The first to probably run low was the cal which cause some leaf issue's that did not look like what I was use to as I have only seen cal or mag issue's in flower before.. but that's not it...
But in combination it had to be leaf heat burn on the tacoing..... And it was hot enough to permanently damage the leaves as they are not coming out of it. I am shocked as it didnt hit above 80 but temp isnt really the same as intensity is it ?...430 watts of T5 on them things. I do have to say this is about the 5th time I've switched lights and never have my plants liked it... probably just my noobism but damn.
Res steady as 66 degrees and roots have been looking a little tan but clean all over so.. I'll keep checking them too...
All I can do is watch them and keep going.. But Like a few days and a couple more plants to flower and I will cull almost all of them and start with the clones again... such as the life of recloning instead of keeping Mom's
Anyway I'll see if I can pop up some pics soon....
