Day 7

It has been a slow time of transition with most of my growth hopefully occurring at the roots. Of concern are three clones that are either small and or kind of bare. During cloning I ended up with some mold issues and generally weak ones here and there.

I have topped a few clones but not much else has occurred. They have received a kelp/fulvic/silica/yucca foliar at a 4.0ph twice in a week. Irrigation began two days ago with a 5.5 ph and 2.0 EC of Mega Crop/humic/kelp/P/yucca and Growpito Beneficials.

Really need to finish my other journal
F | T |F Growery: Ace+SSSC+Dina+Sannie's+RO Rehab

Completed  F | T |F Growery: Ace+SSSC+Dina+Sannie's+RO Rehab

don't like grow journals, maybe others do, I don't. Welcome to my ACE+SSSC+DINA+RO: Rehab project. Got my RO system, 8ft flood tables for food, and 100+ gallons of Growpito to condition. I'm participating in the Dinafem battle that I am incredibly, severely behind on, and also the SSSC...

As rehab was very successful with a few healthy mothers and a great harvest. So many pictures to process but I do have trimming to do tomorrow as I prefer dry trimming.

Everything goes my way I'll hit 40-45oz or 124-140g per sqft or 4-5oz per sqft. Don't expect three or four to make it or do well but we will see.

It has been super nice to not need to do anything in my grow space. Last grow I did many plants packed together with no PM or growth issues. Light was lacking beyond 1ft into the canopy but I mostly pruned lower branches. I love cannabis and cultivating but it's a droll affair constantly needing to do something.

So far it has been such a simple process

Cut and dip clones into Rhizopon - removing all but two leaf sets

Remove dome after two weeks - keep it moist during this time

Transplant clones after harvesting - top water on transfer

Flood twice a week or so - fill reservoir every other week

Repeat steps 1-4

Otherwise, I'm super excited for GLAs DIY Highlights that I will be pairing with Teknik's Buddies. I'm a light snob I must admit lol

Also, sale of 15% off at www.ftfcultivation.com from today until January 12 with code AFNFAM - I do still need to add Horticulture Lighting Group's lights and Apogee's meters to the site - still working on vendors but I haven't made much money yet lol.

Shout out to @DCLXVI and @ArchieMeatus for being my first customers

I had a project in mind this is different never tested out. But what if you LST a plant main stem on the soil surface then cut sidebranches halfway so that they are still on the mainstem but half of it is cut. then put some root stim. and bury the sidebraches in the soil, so could the sidebranches start actually make roots and be half attached to the main stem??

Do you want to test this out?

Very nice looking btw! ;)

Sounds kind of like air layering and would probably work out but idk of any particular benefit.

Can't test out much of anything for awhile, sorry.

Thank you.

The benefit would be that the new sidebranch starts making new roots but still attached to the mainstem and it would get nutes from both ways. and would spread nutes evenly and better. just thinking idk. Was wondering if this could be done to an auto and get bigger yields.

I can't say that would provide any tangible benefit. If you aren't reaching 75g/sqft there's more yield to be gained through various other methods.

It takes 1-3 weeks to root a cutting, in that time many autos would be transitioning to stretch or flower. At this point, if I want more yield I grow more plants.

I was thinking also that when u cut the sidebranch halfway, it wouldnt stress that much and could continue growing and getting nutes from the maim stem while same time developing nee roots for the sidebranch. I thought about this because on my auto ultimate grow 3 years ago the lowest sidebranch cropped itself halway, slowly I think and developed some roots there, it looked very weird. And at the end of the grow that sidebranch looked like a new mini auto lol. It was 3x the size of other sidebranches.

I don't really know. I don't like training plants and I grow autos 20% of the time lol

Try it out though. Might pioneer a new technique

These guys around here veg their clones for a few weeks before flipping. Also, the cuttings have minimal leaves on them. The larger leaves they cut half or so off each leaf. Get that energy to the roots. Thanks for tagging me as I don't go looking for blogs :smoking:
