For High Brix cuttings, if you spray them with half strength D-stress they root faster and stay very healthy in the cloner. Only in a solid medium, however. I wouldn't do it in an aero cloner.
medmanmike;2027019 said:Doc, when you have some time, I'd appreciate your thoughts. Strain: Southern D'Light (SoCal NL#5 X ChemD). Day 13 (veg) approx. 5" tall showing it's 6th set of leaves. Numerous side branching occurring between each set of leaves. Started in my soil mix, but have been using your method/kit for nutrients, drenches, etc. It seems to be getting "top heavy". For example, today after spraying it with Brix, it started to go over so I stuck a small dowel rod for support. The stem seems "stiff" and it's thicker at the soil level as one would expect. This is my first grow so I'm a little "nervous" about what might be going on. Other than this, it's been doing quite well. I'm pleasantly surprised by the secondary growth inside the plant, if you know what I mean.
The sprays, amendments and drenches in the kit probably won't work too well with another soil. I'd transplant them into high brix soil and let everything work together. At that age the stems should be surprisingly stiff and strong. It looks like you might be over watering a bit, and possibly your soil holds too much moisture so you could very well have underdeveloped roots, which might cause the flimsiness.
Just get it into the real stuff and it should get better.
Doc, "transplant into high bris soil..." is what I was thinking. My hb soil will have been cooking four week in a couple of days, but I went ahead and transplanted today into the hb. Watered (plain) and with Transplant/Tea per instructions. Any suggestions for if/when to spray with De-Stress? Leaves are pretty droopy from the transplant....
As always, thanks.
