Merry Christmas!I picked up a pair of Sherbet Queen clones from local shop. They came well rooted in rock-wool, so obviously it's not going to act like a newly sprouted baby. Is there anything significant I should know about raising them?
I got a new light: Viparspectra 2020. Set well above the clones and reading 6K lux at the leaves.
DWC is 300ppm @ 6.0pH. Tent is 72F / 75% humidity.
I'm shooting from the hip here, thinking I should probably manually water these clones a lot more than a sprout, until the roots reach the waterline. Should I consider an alternate approach? (I have done some Google searching, but haven't seen anything definitive yet).

I did not plan on the new res being RED for Christmas, the first res cracked when I was cleaning it. This one is made by Craftsman, so it should last at least 10 minutes longer.
Merry Christmas!
If you don't celebrate Christmas, well then..... I wish you good health and happiness.
I have about 1 inch between the bottom of the pot and the water line.it be better to have them separated and leave a good gap between the roots and the rez water
I have a good air pump and 4 stones. I chose to manually water the clones and pebbles until roots appeared.you wanna make sure that light can't get inside the bin and have air stone to agitate the water and gets the hydro pibbles wet. that's if the roots hasn't grown out of the pibbles yet
Looking great! Very green and healthy.FLIP DAY!

My phone is reading 46K lux at the leaves.
Targeting 75F/60% humidity, but started wondering recently about leaf temperature vs. air temperature....
Working EC up from 1.0 range to 1.5 over the next week.
I gambled $40 on this little widget:

The jury is still out, but I think it will work well as a canary at a minimum. I've been comparing readings to my pen meters and it tracks pretty closely so far. It seems accurate enough to alert me of any drastic change to PH or EC. I'm tracking pen vs meter readings for a few weeks.
Interesting, I have been following this guideline from RoyalQueenSeeds:Looking great! Very green and healthy.
Every spectrum is different, but if they are already at 46k lux I am wondering what it will look like as they stretch. Might want to keep an eye out for light burn (again, every spectrum is different but 46k lux at flower is about 20k more than I would be, which is why I bring it up).
Again, depends on spectrum. In my environment with my light, that would be very aggressive.Interesting, I have been following this guideline from RoyalQueenSeeds:
HOW MUCH LIGHT DO YOUR CANNABIS PLANTS REQUIRE?
- Clones and seedlings: 5,000–7,000 lux
- Vegetative growth: 15,000–50,000 lux
- Flowering: 45,000–65,000 lux
- Maximum recommended amount of light: 75,000 lux
