Jumping Right In! Brand New Set Up

They want to make roots if we just let them. I got really excited when I discovered this...everyone else...not so much lol

I know I can be obnoxious but I don't have a lot else going for me so...

Rooting clones in just water...?

This was a little experiment while I was taking cuts to clone and topping and decided to leave these extra in a jar of water at the bottom of my veg tent in the shade. Never changed the water, no rooting hormones, nothing. Just let it sit there. 12 days later there's roots, and right above the...

Maybe I should just do the glass of water. I remember doing that with my mother as a child if we ever broke one of her house plants. If I recall correctly, it always worked.
Things that make you go hmmmm

Thank you Grownsince95. I really do appreciate your help.
I have tried to stay away. It’s the OCD in me.
My next attempt, I will do it your way with better discipline.
What are your thoughts on Turbokloners?

My thoughts are your starting to sound more like me every post with the toys Im obsessed with the toys too but I never got into the cloning stuff!! Lol

Jiffy pods. The big 55mm ones or whatever the number is. Never fails me. Can hold enough water for 14 days. Young tap roots love the peat too.

Hello everyone.
Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
Fairly new to indoor growing. Did some indoor soil grows many years ago when I was much younger. This past summer I did 4 legal outdoor plants that went pretty well. I enjoyed doing it so much that I decided to continue inside.
I will admit, I’ve gone a little nuts on the equipment. Probably just like many other over eager beginners. I’m doing this for fun and hopefully some good buds to enjoy.
I have a lot to learn along the way. Perhaps I have broken up more than I can roll. Time will tell View attachment 1061260View attachment 1061260View attachment 1061261View attachment 1061262View attachment 1061263View attachment 1061264View attachment 1061265View attachment 1061261

Welcome I'm also from Ontario lambton county the blue coast. I also have a B.B 2.0 going from crop king along with 2 gorilla glue lemon.

Yeah but it takes 2 weeks and you will have a 50% success rate. That's what we do it the way we do it lol

We’ll have to wait and see if my success rate is any better!

I used to love the peat jiffys but they break down and become very acidic after a long drain to waste grow. For my 8 week strains I don’t see any pH problems though. It’s the longer grows.

All my flower tent planning has been around rockwool ebb & flow.

I'm kinda wondering about the heat mat... you have a towel on top?

then try again withthe rock wool. It was only your first attempt!

Bb day 30 today of flower it's the 1 single one standing alone.

Cool man I'll be around to help with what not to do with that haha. My attempts at ebb and flo long ago were beyond disasters lol Plenty of pros already here though.

No I don’t.
The numbers are pretty steady.
You can see when I sprayed at 8:53.

RH is just too low really

Do what you have to do for 80% rh and above. Lower temps can help raise it a bit. Go for 74° and see how much the rh bumps uo.

Dam 86f sometimes.

See for the air to be that warm im wonder what the root temps are because it will be warmer. Now when I do mine I do airtemps of 80f but no heat mat so the root zone is more like 72-74f

 

[Aqua Man]

If you put a towel between them it will help stabilize the root and air temps a bit better. I used to do mine on a cable box with a towel. I test the bottom of the cloner to be 78-80f with an IR tenp gun and air temps were 80.

Happen to have an ir temp gun?

 

[Grownsince95]

The 8:53 am spike could be a killer
With 52% rh that's vpd area for a fully rooted plant

Edit: damn I didn't even get to the bottom at 5am

 

[Grownsince95]

IDK I've never cloned with a heat mat so better leave this to the pros here

I don’t have a gun. I will look into that.
I’m heading down to add a towel.
