    Top feed RQS Royal Gorilla (x2) Critical

    Here we go! I took 5 Royal Gorilla and 4 Critical cuttings 12 days ago. I used a home made cloning system that sprays water at the cuttings. I’ve picked my favourite 2 Gorillas and the best Critical and put them in my home made top feed 30L system! This is my first time using hydroponics so I could be in for a bumpy ride and will need all you hydro guys to chime in! I’m using Dutch Nutrient Formula nutrients line and tap water that sits out for a few days.

      Seems the cloner did fairly well. Especially considering what you spent on the setup.

      Looking good right out of the gate. Give’m a week to get settled in and they’ll start taking off!! Are you planning to run a sterile reservoir or are you adding beneficials such as hydroguard? I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how easy hydro can be.
      Failure is an opportunity for improvement!!

        Hydroguard and products like it are beneficial bacteria that some growers add to colonize their root systems and reservoirs to defend against harmful bacteria that cause root rot. The other method is to maintain a sterile reservoir by eliminating all bacterial growth. Different environments give different results with both methods. I’ve had success adding hydroguard with reservoir temps at 70-75 degrees. If you have trouble keeping your water temps below 70, you may want to look into something like hydroguard.

        Your pH looks good but keep a close eye on them for nutrient burn. 860 is on the higher side, I’ve found fresh clones like it around 350-400 while they get their feet wet.

        Ok obi I’ll watch over the next few days and if I see any issues I will do a res change. Thank you. I plan to keep water temp below 70 and will be doing complete changes every 7 days

      Seeing some new growth, the critical has a nice root hanging out the bottom already. It’s been 7 days since I put them in. Res change today ph5.8 (ec700) ppm 860 temp of water I put in was 13°c hope that doesn’t shock them.

          Showing some strong growth now. Still chasing PH for the first couple days after res change, I wish it were more stable. But in not prepared to purchase water so tap will have to do

              Obi-Wan thanks they have exploded with growth since that pic too, I’ll post another tonight. Not sure on the training yet as all this was just an experiment and has seemed to take off way better than expected. Going to have to top them soon at least to keep them short enough. Iv kinda run out of space lol
