Hey Krip, welcome back , and i hear your trying Doc's gear,...muhahaha,..you will be "assimilated"
Looks like a cool, well made little grow chamber too ,...nice job. On wheels,..best part.
Enjoy the night would ya...
Thanks, RF! I stopped by your grow earlier. Not sure if you're saying I need to put something together, or you need to put something together, for the clones & bonsais.
When I was running the SOG grow, I had picked up a TurboKlone TK-24 but, to be honest, I've had better success in Rapid Rooter cubes.
Also, and this is important, if using Doc's kit, I think you want to avoid the hydro roots you will get in any of those similar cloners (lots of great DIY's here, though!)and should probably stick to something like the cubes.
Here's a great link to a post on maintaining Bonsai Mothers:
Bonsai Mothers
And, I highly recommend reading the Bonsai Sultan Method in my sig if you have ANY interest, at all, in breeding!
sorry. Your cab setup gave me a great idea for a clone/mom setup for myself. I ended up finding a 2x2x3 foot tent on Amazon that I'll use for the purpose. I'm excited to make a few bonsai moms. That's a great read, thanks for the links. I'll be using that bonsai breeding tech as well.
Thanks, DS! You may have noticed I've been studying your thread for guidance, so good to have you here!
BABY BAD AZZ KUSH
I think I may have read in a post a long time ago that if you check your seedlings hourly they sprout quicker.
Just planted on Saturday and today we have our first arrival of one of the two Bad Azz Kush seedlings!
She'll hopefully have four cabinet companions soon!
Happy Harvests!
K
Congrats Krip! I dropped 4 beans yesterday so will be checking hourly, ha!
Did you just plant directlyin 1st run Docs kit soil? The 1st time I tried that, last grow, I got 3 of 4 in 3 days! The 4th did not pop.
). But, here in the tropics we get pretty warm weather so I'm guessing it was "close enough for rock & roll" and will continue "enhance" over time with the additional treatments as the rest of the soil cooks.
WooHoo! Back in the game K, and with the kit too? Good for you!
I did soak the seeds for about 12-18 hours first and, by that time, they had all sunk & cracked, so I knew they were viable. Only one had a very tiny taproot showing (more like a point, if you know what I mean!).
Other than than that, it IS first run soil and, to be honest, it was only cooking for 3 weeks (sorry, Doc! I know, I'm horrible at following directions!
I also left some extra room at the top of the containers to add more soil later since I also like to build additional soil (gradually) up the stems, which eventually grow root systems of their own, and for the plants going to flower (instead of just bonsai moms) the 4" pots will get upped to one gallon, with "more fully" cooked soil for further veg before going to the larger containers.
BTW, I was planning on using fabric pots (7 gallon) and, it occurs to me, that with the indoor grow, trying to do dunks/drenches can be messy with water dripping everywhere.
What would you recommend for a 4'x4' tent. I was going try to with (4) 7 gallon smartpots. Should I up that to 10 gallon nursery pots? Will four be too many plants in 10 gallon pots for the size of the tent?
What are your thoughts?
I don't think I even commented, just read. I really like my root pouch fabric pots but I like my big plastic 15s with deep saucers better. Controversy settled!
