Skybound's Journal

I was going to say... lol. The formulation seems to be working. Ladies look great! Cheers
 
As it turns out, that Kerala/Skunk freebie that was a reg turned out to be a female, but I accidentally flipped the shelf that had her rooted cuttings on and killed both cuttings. So now I need to take cuttings from her in bloom. Is the process just like regular cloning, except takes 4x as long to root? I've never done any reveg or cloning from bloom plants. Any insights would be helpful.
 
Highya SB,

The first clones I did were from bloom buds. Same procedure, just a little longer for roots. Cheers
 
same take bottom cuts, They seem to root faster,,, but then the reveg happens.... GL

Piece of cake;;
 
Sticky and Potchimp both have done Revegs. They root like any other clone what takes time is getting them to switch back to veg from flower 18/6 lighting or 24 hour lighting for a month or more for it to start back into veg
 
If the cloning situation is iffy (yours isn’t) as mine was before I got the Z7, I’d often have trouble cloning the flowering ones because sometimes the late flowering cuts would have to sit there for 4 or 5 weeks before rooting- during which time they’d die off.
With your setup you shouldn’t have issues. The reveg after that will take a while to sort itself out. You may want to reveg the main plant too if things are going slow. But your grow goes way faster than mine.

FWIW I always cut from low branches- looking for more leafy looking stems.

Good to see you roaming around :high-five: My reveg has couple of dried up buds on the bottom and new growth a foot tall on top. Crazy looking. Lol. I'm planning on taking cuts soon and maybe flipping the plant with the dried up buds

I'll be taking mine after 21 days in, when I would be trimming the undersides anyways. I just wanted to get some feedback to see if there was any special steps that needed to happen.

Thanks man, patience I have in spades.

Thankfully, cloning was never that difficult for me and now that I have these Solo cup contraptions, the moist rooter cubes float about 8mm above the heat mat which is about a perfect distance to maintain a warm, but not too warm grow cube, plus the 2 Solos really lock in the RH, so good that I feel the need to pop apart the cups twice daily to exchange the air and whip off the condensation from the upper cup as it builds up quick. I think I nailed down a great clone juice recipe too. MKP to 250 TDS, a little of that Fulvic/Humic/Kelp blend and 1ml/Qt of Clonex gel. I've been using that w/o the Clonex for about a year, but ever since I added the Clonex my success was amplified, though that can also be blamed on 25ppm of Triacontanol every other week, but whatever, I might be doing as much as 3 good things to improve my success rate. Maybe it all adds up?
 
Did you ever grow in DWC, Skybound- or anyone else here?

Or if not DWC, a hydro grow where you monitor by ppm how much the plants are feeding?
It’s just a tangent I’ve been on lately- wondering how much plants feed in late flowering. I let my plants flower long. By the end they eat their own leaves. Or so it appears.

And I assume they must eventually slow down on needing nutrients as well.

But in soilless I don’t have a good way of directly monitoring that. Started a thread if anyone has any thoughts. Thanks!

A question for any late harvesting DWC growers out there: plant hunger levels in late late flowering

I’m asking the DWC crowd because I think here it’s usual to monitor ppm to see exactly how heavily the plants are feeding. I’m not in DWC so don’t have a good way of answering my question. In particular, I’m wondering about the feeding habits of plants that are left to finish late- as in left...

The closest I ever got to hydro in bloom was the top feed in potted rockwool and fading was never much of a thing for me apart from the common imbalances in the various feed regimens I've tried along the way. I genuinely believe the Megacrop will set you super straight. Heck, I'm making my own Megacrop and it seems the overall mood of y crop has greatly improved, and that I believe is just from targeting the macros and Ca and Mg. If you want to holler at a DWC grower, get in GrandpaTokin's ear, he's a DWCer. I think Tead used to do DWC too.
 
You know, it’s funny, for several years I flowered with just a bottle of Botanicare Bloom, and Calmag. Basically no micros other than some iron. Maybe some stuff in the bottles that is unlisted, and some sulphur?

The plants seemed more or less fine that way. I did it that way until you asked me on my journal ‘what’s providing your micros?’ and I was like ‘uhhhhh....’
 
For me, because I tried to make Faux Brix, I loaded up the soil with natural as well as soluble micros, so I am intentionally only using everything but to break all that stuff down over time. From what I can tell in veg, some are still showing a bit of Fe tox, so maybe another cycle or two before it's used up enough to be at normal levels. AFAIK, bloom nutes or calmag has micros aside from maybe Fe, I think I saw Fe in one of the labels of calmag, but can't remember which brand.

If I had new unamended peat, I would make Faux Mix and just run Megacrop plus Calmag and Silicate, but because I already over complicated the 4 bales I have in rotation and can't replace it just yet, I just gotta do the best I can do.
 
Calmag+ has iron listed, yes. But I see now that some sites on the internet mention a whole raft of micros in the jug which aren’t listed on the bottle, or the Botanicare site (that I can find) :hmmmm:
