Finished Setting Up!
I just finished transplanting my clones. I went to BPG today and of course they were out of Skywalker OG. This made me rethink my purchase and ended up with 2 Sherbet and 2 Gelato. Both have Cookies genetics and are the top clones from Dark Heart Nursery and PCG respectively.
BPG clones are kept for 2 weeks at a time and are held under 24hrs of fluorescent light. None of the clones looked perfect, but I think I got some pretty good ones. A couple have leaves trimmed? They seemed to be cut with a straight blade, I am not sure if I prune them or not. One's top leafs are significantly lighter green than the rest of the plant, but it doesn't look like a nutrients issue. I got them home in a paper bag within the hour and transplanted within the next hour.
I used 1tsp of Big Bloom because I heard it brings the water pH down, since these were fresh gallon bottles from CVS their pH was a little over 7.5. After Big Bloom, I was still around 7, so I added some pH down, but over shot it. After adding a little pH up, I was at 6.0. I used half a gallon of water in each 2 gallon smart pot, which is how much it took for some to drain out the bottom. The second gallon I added 1tsp of Big Bloom and a little pH down, and was at 6pH.
I used espoma potting mixture and estimated 32quarts total for the 4 plants. I am hanging the lights about 1.5 ft above the plants. I cannot feel the heat from the LEDs on the plants, so I think they are far enough away. I am afraid of the plant with light burned top, but it is the top cola, so I may remove it later anyways.
Now I am waiting and finally smoking :3!
