Mikedin’s Laboratory, come join the fun!

Damn these clones rooted out quick, already roots at the drain holes

I think it may be time for a topping in another day or 2

 

[Mikedin]

Andddddd the first topping is done on the 4x older clones

I really gotta say this @SpiderFarmerLED SF600 is really making these plants happy. Probably some of the best clones I’ve run leaves are perfectly laid out, new lower growth is starting to explode. Gunna probably top once more to set them up as nice small mothers. This light has absolute perfect coverage for a 2x4x4 space

Extremly low heat output, basically non-existent, throwing 300 PPFD at 18” couldn't ask for better readings for clones and seedlings, for 75w this light is a major winner in veg, easily replaced my 140w of barrina grow bars while doubling the PPFD output and you can easily see the improvement in growth over the last set of clones

Tested my cloner last night with some water.. and now some bleach solution.. haha no leaks yet! Going to take some snips this evening hopefully.

Nice! What cloner are you using?

Have you used the cloner before? What is your planned method with the snips?

 

[Mikedin]

Clones are doing great after the topping cleaned up the lowers of the 2x newest clones a bit as they are starting to put out new growth and stretch out a shade

 

[Mikedin]

Sunday funday? These girls are rockin I decided to give them some new boots for the week now I can let them fill in a bit

Forgot to add 1/4 cup EWC to that note, will have to go back and write it in

 

[Mikedin]

Guess it’s update time!

The clones are doing awesome, really pushin out the lower nodes after the topping, this little cabinet is gunna fill up quick here’s a pic of the full cabinet

Couple pics of the microgreens on the shelf above as well, 2 treys of broccoli and one of mixed spicy greens

 

[Mikedin]

Decided to top the 2 newer cali blues freaks, and while I was at it, the origional’s clones top node was stretching a bit so she got chopped down a node to get back average height with the others

 

[Mikedin]

She seems to have been unaffected by the topping so they are evened out nicely

Man you have a great cloning methodology down, those roots are diesel

Thanks fam! Sometimes less is more this system made it so easy having 100% success rate every time just cut em, strip em, Dip em, and slip em in

I notice you are getting root development far up the stem. What is your “stripping” method? Are you slicing or skinning the stock?

I strip only the bottom inch of the outer layer and cut at a 45, I still dip in clonex, I hit them on day 1 and day 3 with CloneX cloning spray and use the CloneX clone solution in the res, I don’t think the stripping is needed at all as like you see I get roots all the way up to the puck on some, I leave about 1.5-2” of stem below the puck exposed and it all seems to root fairly evenly up the full exposed stem

Besides that timer setting for the sprayers is 1 minute on 4 minutes off and that’s about it

Good job!!! A++++

 

[Mikedin]

Good job!!! A++++

Gotta say these clones are loving the light, enough power to reduce any stretch but plenty of coverage for its footprint!

 

[Mikedin]

Last 2 girls up potted and spread out under the full space now, riser removed, can’t wait to fill this box out!

 

[Greenjourneyman]

Looking good in the one gallon pots. Those will get huge!

Sooo… full disclose those are far from 1 gallon pots lol maybe 1/4-1/3 gal I’d guess

I’m pointing at the pots they are in now, the next size up is the 1 gals, then the 3 gals then the 5’s when I use them (my favorite to flower in)

I like to up pot a lot lol

Just doing their thing
