Room was finished last night and plants will be 12/12 starting tomorrow. Overall it should be a better room now but I'm actually having trouble keeping it above 68-69. Its very cold here right now, thats part of it, but unvented the room ran about 82, now vented it runs 68 with a heater on, haha. I throttled the fan back some today to see if that helps sort things out, as i could feel the air blowing in the passive intake. now its just a light breeze instead of a wind tunnel coming in, that should help warm things some. plants are a bit pissed and curly leaved at me for keeping them too cold for a bit there, but hopefully as temps come up and level out, they will be happy again.
the new veg room works alright, and the next round of plants is coming along so much nicer than the first. I made a mistake on identifying males and females. One Sour D is a female (the big triploid), and one Jupiter Space Kush is certainly a girl. So that is good news.
Trying cloning in both coco and rock wool pHed in a 5.6 solution. so far the rockwool seems to make more sense. it takes less space. you can preload it easily with nutes. it holds a nice mix of air and water. but my favorite thing is when the stem gets put in, that rockwool must make tiny abraisions in the tissue as you push it in. that has to encourage root growth. in tests i did in horticulture school, rooting was improved in all our experiments with light scarification of the dipped rooting area. we will see.
Ill get pics of the room tonight when the lights come back on, i forgot to snap shots while lights were on last night.
