clones how much do you feed them

[Venom818]

Just wondering how much ppms are you guys feeding your un rooted clones ans how much are you feeding once rooted.I know its going to differ from strain to strains just want a general idea.

I feed mine at 300-350 ppm & I keep it at 350 after there rooted & transplanted.. My WiFi#1 don't like anything over 350 ppm most of the veg time.. I bump the ppm's when I flower

i like to be in the 5-650 range.. that way they have plenty to keep them green until they root. u cant cut the food off and the feet off, and expect it to stay happy. how would u feel?

imo, the reason u see tons of yellow shitty looking clones around town is because there seems to be a common misconception that u dont have to feed cuts to keep them green and healthy throughout the rooting process.

same here i feed them at 350 but when they root i bump it to 500-600

im going to try this thnx bro hopefully they stay greener i do have some yellow up on me but most of the time there not the best.When the stem is nice and thick they stay green.

I fed my alien fire 700 accidentally, had roots in 4 day though . this is the same plant as ogonly, the super pheno. the sfv and white fire has shown no roots. gona had to get some r.o. water for them i can see

hmm I never give shit but water until I see roots - soon as the first one pops I hit them with some roots excel (well using gh rapid start now actually) then when they are about 1/2 popped I hit em with about 250 ppm of a transition type mix

Motherlode,
When you say water, exactly what kind of water?

-TF

 

[motherlode]

the kind that ever so slowly comes out of my stealth 200

Spray your clones with "anti" wilt spray if you want to keep them green. We call it wilt spray in these parts. I mix 1 oz of wilt to 7 oz of water. You only apply it like once when you take the cuttings. It will keep your clones nice and green.

anti wilt essentially saran wraps your clones so they cant transpire - you can root cuts with great success without using a dome

I usually only use domes in the cooler months just to keep the temps nice

ml you liking the rapid start so far?

two bottles in myself, used in both coco and aero, and wasnt crazy impressed. did switch from rootsxl tho

 

[audius]

i keep my ppms around 300 for unrooted clones& 4 to 500 ppms on rooted clones. i do however folar spray the unrooted clones with the same 300 ppm mix. i do that about 1 a day cuz you dont want salt build up on the leaves,i stop after i see roots. i been growing some heavy feeding whitewidows so those ppms will very with different strains. happy growing,

I've tried a side by side with veg and flower nutes... i do 1/4 strength my normal feeding. Someone told me about this, and they did cut faster in flower nutes!... I run the cns17 . And use a dome....and foliar once a day with ph'd water.

 

[CAPO]

i heard that too wonderin'...something about the floral hormones increase...i think is worth the experiment if your flower nutes have enough N.

I used to feed em light and only had probs...now I feed em the same level of base nutes that the Mom's get and they stay happy.

 

[motherlode]

fresh cuts (and seedlings too) need more p for healthy roots - thats why I always give a transition mix - equal amounts of npk

 

[Ever after]

a limit for 385ppm and first off making sure your PH is correct ...

 

[Jimmynitz]

My unrooted clones get Ionic clone solution and KLN....rooted get regular strength veg nutes, great white and RE.

Works like a charm!:)

My unrooted clones get nothing but tapwater til i see roots and they never yellow plus I get 100% roots in 2 weeks tops. After that they get transplanted and i start them at 1/4 strength nutes. Cns17 works great.
Feeding unrooted cuts is a waste of nutes imo.

Just place Cut in Rockwool. 70-80ppm

9th day I Flood and drain around 300ppms

When roots pop witch is 14th day(2weeks) 1000ppm. Normally Transplanting by this time.

I use to play low like 80ppm on 9th day and 300-500 when Transplant. Just I felt the same way as my old friend that has been growing longer then me be living. That i was a Bad Mr. Mom and was under feeding my Kids.

With all the other post I quickly read threw, You will be at less 90% success rate!
