Need plant training advice

[Obi-Wan]

I’d have to measure them but I think they’re 12-14” from the bucket lids.

Hi Obi, another question. When you pruned your clones I’m assuming you put them in another tent for rooting and veg?

 

[Obi-Wan]

I use an aeroponic cloner for rooting and then to separate tent so I can maintain the Veg light schedule.

Yeah I moved my flowers to the 4x4s and moved everything else into the 8x8. Needed the room for my hydro setup cause the small tub was getting overtaken by the 5 in there. May only end up keeping 3 of them though. Figured I would try doing hydro again since I seem to be doing ok with the soil. Goal this time is to fill up the tent, I'm tired of small plants and low yields. Plus I'm smoking it as fast (if not faster) as it's curing! At least I have been getting to taste the difference during curing though. Been using the bags and they work so good. Huge difference from the jars, at least for me.

Hi everyone, I’m back again with a tiny update as it is the 3rd day since the transition. I’be been taking RF’s advice on slowing bumping up my ppm’s and today I’m around 200, ph 6.0. I also dosed cal mag at 4 ml’s (using ro water) and I’m not sure if I need to bump it up or not. Here are some picks. Some insight would be great. Thanks in advance!

For rapid rooters, you have to peel off the outer skin? I'm not too familiar with those.

 

[LBBandit]

Not that I’m aware of. I really appreciate your help. I’m going to partially agree with you that I probably put too much nutes in too early. From what I’ve been reading with ro water is to add cal/mag up to 150 or so ppm’s with ph at about 6.0 until roots appear and have extended to the water then add the nutes at 40% strength based on the chart. I’ll keep a close eye on them and hope they pull through.

No, rapid rooters don't have anything on them that needs to be taken off. You just put the seed in the hole and keep the rapid rooter moist and they usually come up within a few days. I like them a lot honestly. And even though they usually come in bulk, you can put the rest in a freezer bag and freeze them for later. I was using 4 at a time so I separated them into separate ziploc bags (4 each) and put them in a freezer bag, cause they tend to freeze together. Hope that helps.
