Help with led growtent setup

[trt92]

I had to get a 3000 sq ft basement dehumid for my 200 sq ft lung room to win the humidity battle in the summer, all winter though 20% so I have the opposite battle lol big plants put off sooooo much humidity in a small space its unreal! That's honestly a sign I know I need to water soon is the humidity starts to go down in the summer time.

Should be lower humidity here in scandinavia then when its flowering?november

What completely flips the humidity is when the heat comes on it dries the house out. I don't think the humidity outdoors changes much though. But a tiny space heater is a hack to lower humidity in winter as well, any electric heat will dry things out quite a bit.

Tried taking some clonesv2 test, but seems like they die day after.. I dippedbin rooting hormone and dip in wet soil cubes. Light 50 wwatt 1meter above. . What did i do wrong? Or is it to early to take clones??

look like they're just begging for water, i usually cut the leaves in half for less transpiration, you can try spraying some water on the leaves and see if that help

Until you see some roots maintain the rooting cubes damp enough also.

For clones I use a dome to keep them moist.

Ok il try spray, and cut leaves in half..

his rh is @ 90 tho

I did cut clones 1-2 weeks earlier tjen recomended, bit over 2 weeks old plants

 

[HerbalEdu]

when you cut your clones doesn't really matter.

 

[HerbalEdu]

actually it just seem they are not able to sucks enough humidity from the root cubes.

clone dropping a little the first few days not necessarly wrong either ...

 

[trt92]

Il try spray them, maybe turn light alot down? Read clones seek more energy when it to much light , and they got no roots to do it

I think il buy a cheap 27watt led bulb, and place it in a homemade box for my clones.. That should be enogh? Humidity is always high, and doubt they need more air m, then what my cardboard box will leak in?
Then il just see if those 3 bonsai mothers in my small tent will give me enogh clones so i can have a constant go with flowering clones in 300watt tent, with 3 mothers in a 100 watt tent, and clones vegging witj a 36watt led meantime... Can always add extra light if they need to veg longer in the box... Could see dome cheap cfl og 75 anf 125 watt too but if a 50% dimmed 100watt led doing 50 watt is tomuch i gues tje 27 watt is ok? I can dim down the 100watter to 20 watt to, but i gues the mothers want more? And space is to little too if i want 16 clones each time

i was doing my clones in small 40x50x60 carton box with the interior painted white with 3x11W everyday led bulb you may even be able to choose the colour temperature between warm and cool white

10watt pr square meter iis said recomended for fresh clones

Here what’s I just set up in a shelf, 4x barrina 20w light bars I use to grow my microgreens, lights 30” above the shelf it’s enough to produce microgreens so figured I’d test, had been in here for 3ish days now lol glad I have it on the micros timer lol got a set of 8x4’ bars for $80 on Amazon and you can also get 2’ bars


Great lights for low light applications mind you it’s only giving about 100PPFD at 20” from tops

 

[trt92]

Those clones are big compared to mine, should it still be okay to take clones from 20cm high plants?? I cut 2 new clones today, cut the tip of the leaves and sprayed good with water on them... The 2 others seem already dead

 

[HerbalEdu]

i'd try rooting directly in soil i m not convinced your rooting cubes stay damp enough for a fresh cutting.

 

[HerbalEdu]

Also i took a closer look at tour photo and your clones seem a tad bit small i'd try with taller clones 10-15 cm with at least 5 cm inside the medium.

cutting the bottom of the trunk at an angle will also help, don't put too much rooting hormone around the trunk just need to have a very little.

 

[HerbalEdu]

one important thing to understand is you have to compensate the fact it doesn't have roots the first few days with a very moist medium so the clone can sucks enough water. don't hesitate to overwater the first watering with cutings
