What's new

Grump's Mother-plant Grow 🌿

Still going strong. Time to make some decisions. Stinky Pink might have to sit this round out. The Indigo Sapphire is ready to get cloned and that would free up a lot of space. It's out of control.

4-500 on the 500 scale. It's 400 of the base nutes and then I threw in some extra epsom. They all seem to be really happy with it considering I don't really control the environment in there. Light is at 10%. Not trying to push these girls at all.

Nice....
Stoney has one going also i believe I,should look over there too...

Keep up the good work ....
 
Trimmed a bunch and tossed a couple.

18 clone attempts in total.
8 stinky pink
4 Indigo Sapphire
The top from the other 6.

Back left to right...
Blue Cheese, Indigo Sapphire, MotorPunch, Mr. Sour Pantz

Front 4 are the Indigo clones. All the others down below in the dome.

Trying something new this time... I didn't use plugs or anything like that. I've heard of people just rooting in water. So... without plugs, should the tips stay submerged??

Should I clip the tips of the fans? I've seen that done. Is that necessary?
 
The 4 Indigo clones stems should be touching the water, removing some leaf mass like cutting them to half size or 1/3 of the tips off will slow their transpiration.

While they don't have a root system to keep water up, or as they are not in a 80%+ RH environment where air is already saturated with water molecules and they can't release much water anyways

Slows down the rate the water is breathed out through their leafs.

Hung the fuck over my brain no worky.

And in theory you should be able to clone directly in ur dwc system too lol

I love the setup with the pipe
it's like super mario bros if they grew weed ;leyes

Removing leaf mass; Reduces the net surface area of transpiration

I suppose one reason to do this is with to help cloning efforts in lower rh environments, and I guess to just generally reduce transpiration surface area till roots develop, without further research that's how I understand it off the top of my head.

if the air is already saturated with water molecules, this affects their VPD; pressure, stomata opening & closing, breathing out water molecules, till they grow a root system to sustain, in other words.

It's like a closed loop system being violently opened to a open loop, but it needs to heal back to a closed loop, without dieing. Like turgor.

I'd be curious to see where on the stem, above or below the water line area, the first root emerges from.

I figure those babies won't take long to root with water streaming by/through their stems, esp perhaps with extra hormones.

Edit: I would agree with this assesment.

Stem rubbed the Indigo Sapphire this morning... phew that's gonna be a stinky one. Surprisingly it smells very similar to the Kitchen Sinks that are flowering now.

@doublej did you plant any of these? I think it's gonna be a raunchy strain.

Nah , I have not...I've got a full house for another few weeks.

I'm liking the reports tho. It's on my list for this next go

Pungent and hard to describe but it's got a hint of dirty dishrag to it. Sharp. Stingsss the nostrils 🤣

Really liking this ebb & flow hydro system, kinda wanna do something like it.

I'm having a lot of fun with it. Hopefully it'll also root clones no problem.

I'll run multiple, different grow systems/styles when I get back up

This one's easy. Pretty hands-off, easy to set up and relatively cheap. The fittings cost the most but, including the tent, I spent less than $200 to build it. I guess a bit more than that if you wanna count the light.

You should have no issues cloning in that as long as there's no contamination and %rh env can keep water in the plants till they spit their own roots in a few days.

or I guess, in theory too, if there touching the water constantly the hydrostatic pressure will/should move water up? Not 100% on that info

Imperium X x Violet Fog.
By Anesia Seeds I'm pretty sure.

Well fingers crossed. I've got 18 cuttings total, so I should get at least 4 viable plants of the deal.

I tried something new in the dome, also. I put them all in neoprene collars and set them on a piece of 1-inch PVC. Nothing but Rapid Start in the water. We'll see how that goes.

If I have zero clones make it... i'll just throw my 4 remaining moms into the other tent when it's freed up. I'll have plants ready regardless.
 
3 out of the 4 Indigo Sapphires have rooted. 6 days. Hell yeah!
20251127_062800.jpg

The 4th isn't looking so hot... I'm thinking it wasn't pushed down into the collar far enough. It looks pretty sad but I'm hoping it bounces back.

Roots in 6 days is WAY better than the 21 it took me last time. Rooted just sitting in the same grow nutes as their mama.

Looks like it’s not getting any water. Nice roots bud, six days is amazing for your setup. 👊

Hell yeah, I didn't think it would take long in there.
 
I'm confused on this part

Seriously considering this for a ebb&flow Recirculating system to the run in the background of my other systems



Edit: figured it out? The back side returns the water back to the res?

The front side pumps water up

Back side is the supply and the front side is the return. I 90'd into the back side to restrict flow a bit and the front side has the big ball valve. I can open/close it to fine tune the water level.

Ohh ok thanks

What kind of pump?

Nice touch controlling the water level

Danner are good pumps that can be run well in line not in the res.
When run in water it is known to raise water temps up to 4 degrees above room temp.
This is alleviated somewhat when run inline out of the water where it can air cool.

Where's the graph for scale/ volume of water for a pumps heat to be negligible in a given volume of water.
