Pleased to meet you Retrix. (I am a sub with manners. )

May I ask what are those plastic things around the cube? Are they on during the rooting process, like putting a squeeze on the cube?

 

[RETRIX]

11 days to root not too bad have you got a timer on your clone bubbler ? Or does your pump run continuously and do you run any nutrients in the reservoir of the bubbler?

I have a repeat cycle timer on it. I set it for 3 seconds on and 60 minutes off. Then when I see roots I will set it for 3 seconds on and 10 minutes off. I use those settings because of the rock wool though. If I were to use rooting collars with just the bare stem showing, I would probably do 3 seconds every 5 minutes or so. As for as nutrients, I usually put like one teaspoon of nutrients in the rez but noting too crazy.

Pleased to meet you as well Black. The collars are actually Aero Garden pods that I cut the bottoms off of. I made my own aero garden and had the hole bit already so I just used those to make my cloner. I take 2.5 inch rockwool and cut them down so that they fit inside the ring. I was thinking about getting some proper cloning collars but the rockwool works so well that I am going to just keep using it.

Veg Stage Week One 12/9/23
Average PAR: 90 μmols/M²/sec @ 18/6 DLI: 7.9
Humidity: 71%
Temperature: 76F
EC: 1.14

​

Things are looking ok so far with these two except for a bit of fungus on the leaves. You can see it as what looks like yellow fur growing on the leaves. I put some humidity domes over the clones for a week or so because they were suffering in this large tent I'm guessing. So I mixed up some diluted copper fungicide and gave them a quick spray.
The EC started off at .91 and I have been slowly increasing it. It is now at 1.14 and I will continue until I get it to 2.0.
They are turning green quickly and I can tell that they are going to start growing like crazy. I'm going to flip these girls as soon as their yeast infection is cured.

Are the lids offset and the water exposed, because you didn't reseat them between root pics and tent pics?

No They are open in this pic because I was testing the EC. LOL

Ok this is the last day of veg because I have a feeling this is going to get crazy in the next few weeks.
Added bacteria, calcium, seaweed extract and 1/2 tsp of VEG+Bloom.
Easiest most stress free plants ever.
Thank you Jesus.
