Hi all,
This is my first grow so I have decided to keep a running log of progress and to seek feedback from the the community. My first 4 cuttings have been taken from a Sativa. I don't know too much else about the mother plant aside from it being a female. I have Feminised White Widows on the way from Crop King so will be growing them as well.
I'm planning to grow 4 plants in the space I have and will be topping the plants to utilise the space better.
Setup (photos to come).
Plan
Cuttings are currently placed in Rockwool cubes in a Humiditiy Chamber (3rd day). The chamber is ~ 5cm away from the CFL lamp on a 18/6 cycle. The 2 larger cuttings are looking healthier. I think the small ones are ok as well, just looking a bit sad at the moment. I'm spraying these girls twice a day at the moment (morning / night) to keep it humid.
Not sure whether to move these smaller cubes to a larger 10cm rockwool cube or a smaller 8cm and sit on top of clay pellets or put the smaller cube directly into the clay. I've read both options are viable so I may experiment and try them both, Will do this once the roots are visible and plentiful at the base of the smaller cube.
Watering
Plan to water 30min on, 1.5hr off once moved into my watering system with daily monitoring of temps / pH / EC. Aiming to maintain a pH of 5.7 - 6.0
Using the General Hydroponics 1-2-3 system as outlined here for nutrients and planning to change water out every 7-10 days.
How do I mix up my nutrient solution?
Not much to show of the setup right now as the tent won't arrive till tomorrow but for now I can post some photos of my clones.
Looking forward to what I hope will be a successful grow and look forward to your feedback and advice. Remember people, keep it positive and spread the good vibes.
Peace
