If you look at the plants and double the width and height and it would fill the space it's time to flip. A little before is also ok because some strains will more than double. I'm just going off my experience on growth rates in hydro comparing to yours and making a guess.
This is solid advice, thanks
Yup many ways.
Heya buddy I have a few ?’s for you and fellow farmers to chime in please! Is there a preferred time of day to cut clones off of my outdoor gals they are 10 weeks old. I also have had a few bottom branches go limp on me and eventually die. I up potted into my largest pots about 10 days ago from 23 litre pots to 35 and 40 gallon and used microhizae pure powder on the root ball. My pots were kinda on the dryer side when I did that on purpose because they are heavy to deal with and like you my back is pooched. Being they were dry I watered them in quite well especially around the main stem and the outside of the pots. About 5 days later is when I had the Lower side branches die off. I also have bamboo stakes directly into the pots to help support them they are small diameter ones and they’ve been supporting them for about 5 weeks ish I pulled dirt away for the main stem to look at the top roots and they look fine and when I transplanted them they were very healthy looking but a bit on the root bound side. Any ideas on how to keep this from reoccurring? I built a burm of dirt about 4 to 5 inches around the main to help keep water from getting close to the main and crunched up egg shells around it to hopefully keep caterpillars from getting at them as well. So I’m wondering if the bamboo stakes may be rotting and causing some of the issue I pulled a couple of them up and did see a bit of discolouration on a few spots. I’m going to tie them down and cage them soon and I’ll remove the stakes then. Here’s some pics of the plants that have been affected. Thanks for your help bud!!
I never really though about preferred time but now that you bring it up I would think near the end of the day after the plants have been photosynthesizing.
This is about where they explode bro
Looking forward to it, going to start researching the main-lining technique etc to help improve yields.This is about where they explode bro
Your setup is so awesome!
It looks tricky, seen a few pieces on YouTube and this seems to be the best video:
Darkness will help the seeds pop get on a 18-6 schedule some will pop in the dark period or when the light comes back on n for seedlings it's better to use weaker lighting like t5 bulbs or cfls.
Seeds don't really need domes... Clones do imo.Once my seedlings has sprouted I remove it from the nursery, it needs different care and since the others didn't sprout this is your best chance for a great product.
From the start I don't think you gave them enough oxygen using the dome is okay provided you leave slots open if there's no slots and the humidity reaches over 70% germination rates really slow.
Good luck on the next ones
It's ok to have them under 24 he light. It's dark in the media and once they break the surface light is beneficial.
I try to take mine near the end of the day after they have lots of stored sugar from photosynthesis. Then they go into the dark period. So they get no light trying to drive growth for a little. All fueled up and a break from work allows them to focus on root growth not photosynthesis. Should be kept under very low light after I keep mine at the same 18/6 light cycle. Idk how much difference it makes but I think it's good practice and have always done so and have near 100% success rates.
Thanks @Aqua Man would you take the cuttings during the first few weeks during the flowering stage?
During veg usually just before flip when pruning. Taking from the bottom of the plant.
