moloko plus Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) First timer here, thought i'd jump in the deep end and see what happens. I'm growing 6 slurricane clones indoors in a homemade mylar tent under a 600w MH light bulb about 55cm away from top of the plants giving me 25-26 degrees Celsius on 18-6 cycle So im using 20 L pots filled with cocopeat soil that i got from futurama https://www.futurama.co.za/just-cannabis-craft-cannabis-cocopeat-soil-30l/ planted clones into pots and watered them with water with ph at about 6.6 And this is about 18 hours later Edited June 9, 2020 by adre picture edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGG Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Welcome@andreYour setup seems good and nice strain you have, PH seems a tad to high, drop down with next watering as per Just Cannabis craft soil recommendations then you of to a good start.Keep posting as grow progresses Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Nice one. Good start. I would advise you to look into micro organisms in the form of compost tea or something like explogrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGG Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 18hr lights on is recommended at 1st, give them a week in there new inviorment. Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreX Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Yea give it time, Rome was not built in a day, and weed doesn't become dank overnight. For now they should be pretty good... Give them a week like GGG said and take it from there... They will most likely love the new leg space and you will see them all happy and green in no time. How often are you watering? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger96 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I would assume that the clones rooted... They seem fine.. Just remember... less is more.. Good luck and welcome.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkunkPharm Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Put some fly traps down or the glue traps for rats. Works wonders. I have had issuea with fungus gnats now for a while. I think they come in the coco and peat that is imported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Your medium looks a bit dry, the edges are pulling away from the sides from what I can see - unless its just uneven levels of your soil / coco, Also PH sounds a bit high for my liking. I'd drop it to around 6.1 to 6.3. What are you using as nutrients or what are your plans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a ph meter a few days ago so before that was just using the pool ph meter with the solution and all nutrients - I wasn't planing on using any as the place where i got the soil told me not to use any as its a "super soil" that they came up with them self, but small veg is starting to grow in my pots aswel any recommendations for nutrients ?

Popcoen Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 @adre Hi Bud, Soil is perfect, i use that one aswell, just make sure its sufficiently watered, also did you water before planting the clones? I agree with your PH being too high as this soil has a natural PH of about 6.5, Also are you dechlorinating your water? Otherwise give them babies some time and youll see how beautiful they will be!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your PH being too high as this soil has a natural PH of about 6.5, Also are you dechlorinating your water? ph has been fixed , doing dechlorinating I planted the clones and just watered them a bit , i generally give them about 500ml water every second day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moloko plus Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 sufficiently watered? @Popcoen still not sure what that means in terms of my growth I just sick my finger in the soil up to my first knuckle if its still moist i dont water them, dont know if its correct but plants likes period of slightly dry earth aswel ?

Popcoen Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 @adre Basically you want the soil to be damp, What i do is i water them well enough and then only water when top soil is basically dry, rinse and repeat for me, and this has prevented overwatering. Clones dont require crazy amounts of water but rather humidity with their early growth, you looking at anything about 70% RH and up, And correct, cannabis roots like to dry out soil from what ive seen (correct me if im wrong) but are prone to root rot if continually left with lots of water in the soil!

moloko plus Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 today is a week after i planted them so there is quite a difference since the first pics i posted, but in terms on watering your whole pot and just generally watering where the roots are at this point which is better ?(not watering close to the stem anymore) On 6/10/2020 at 9:55 AM, PsyCLown said: Your medium looks a bit dry, the edges are pulling away from the sides from what I can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moloko plus Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) 1 week after putting in pots , they have been growing good one leave here and there that doesnt look up to par. They all started pushing out new leaves and nodes, also not sure if some of them are stretching , all inputs welcome Edited June 17, 2020 by moloko plus edit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakstein420 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Looking good. I have never worked with clones but I wait till she is on her 6th node before topping at the 3rd. Are you planning on a mainline or flux? Edited June 17, 2020 by Bakstein420 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branches dont seem to grow directly opposite one another on clones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGG Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 As Baksteen said only semetri that's abit different, but if you going to scrog it does not matter if its a clone, with clones you also score a month + with growth Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_G Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 the Just Cannabis Soil stated that you can grow in this soil with only Water no nutes needed. i am of the Judas type that doesnt believe shit people say even if its "proven" so i bought a bag and stuck a lumpy space princess clone into it. stuck it outside in less than favourable conditions. watered it with Tap water only. below is the result of Just Cannabis soil woth 0 molasses added. microbes and no ph of 7.8 tap water. (of course it got some rain water too. i also if i saw a bucket of water that filled due to rain would chuck that over it too) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
