So I pulled some clones from my last grow for a few folks. I guess they all were intimidated by them, so now I have 5 abandoned ladies on my hands.
I reckon I’ll just have to raise them. Lol!
This round we have:
2x TwistaXAfgan
3x OGGrapeXStar47
So I’m reusing the soil from my last grow.
I ended up breaking down the 7 gallon felts on a tarp, added some Down to Earth Flower, compost, #3 perlite, earthworm castings, and Great White mica, mixed it all up, sprayed with a 36hr compost tea, turned, sprayed... repeated until desirable feel then stored it in a trash can for awhile.
Besides the compost tea at the initial inoculation at the 5 gallon transplant, I plan on using only sink water (set out for 48hr minimum), mixed with lemon juice (to bring the pH down), 500mg Vitamin C (for Chloramine removal), and Blackstrap Molasses. I will also add BP soluble seaweed/kelp and GW mica every other week, pH’d to 6.2.
I’m clipped the clones July 4th.
How I trim/keep clones:
I only keep clones 6”+. As soon as I cut them I put them into a shot glass filled with water. You can keep them like this for weeks if needed, just keep adding water as they u
When you're ready to plant, you’ll need Jiffy pods, cloning gel, GW mica, clear/red solo cups, sandwich bags, rubber bands/or tape, and your medium.
First I scrape 2-3” from the bottom of the stem until I see white showing through the green layer of the stem to promote root growth. Try not to get too crazy though.
I then use a toothpick to make a hole all the way to the bottom of the Jiffy pod and waller it out some. I dip the scraped clone end into the cloning gel, dust it lightly with GW mica, then push it into the hole in the Jiffy pod.
You can leave them like this until you see roots, then move them to solo cups, but I just went straight to the cups this time.
I fill the solo cup up about a third of the way up with soil, drop the pod in, backfill to the edge of the pod, then add a layer of perlite.
Water thoroughly, then cover with a sandwich bag. You can either tape it, or use a rubber band to seal it up.
July 8th
Day 3 cut one corner off the sandwich bags, spray clones if needed.
Day 6 cut the other corner.
Day 10 pull the bags off.
July 18th
If you used the clear cups, you should already be seeing roots. Wait until you have a good amount, then up pot. I only had 1 that didn’t root.
