Eva is on the way to town to send off those Frankenstein cuttings soā¦
You are about to find the absolute truth in these wordsā¦ Stock up on nitrogen. Just saying.
Iāll give you a tracking number later today.

I donāt understand your confusion.
You were to water slowly not painfully slow. Regardless the exercise was to show you the importance of HOW you water. You didnāt allow a lot of water to come out of the bottom.
So essentially a lot of the nutrients that you fed with before you watered was still present in the soil.
It was the purpose of the exercise.

It must be clinging on or somethingā¦ because i did water until an entire gallon came out of eachā¦ i watered super slow to ensure leaching was happening.
Thats why i think i may just be adding too much calmag maybe?? Im adding recommended dosage of 1 tsp per gallon only on feeding timesā¦ not water only times
The skunks look goodā¦ but the ppms just arent making senseā¦ maybe they should be higher? Like 8 or 9 hundredninstead of 700- 750
What looks bad visually are all but the skunksā¦
They all look too low on N
Skunks are 2 center plants

I run plants from seed once they sex Iāll take cuts from them and from my moms so they all root around the same time
Hopefully that helps

That is the correct amount of Calmag to use.
Do as showed with each strain, slowly raise the amount of nitrogen until tip burn and then back off that number slightly and feed at that number.

No i meanā¦ how old do you let seedlings get before using clones with them to finish similar timeframes etcā¦
(Mo is sending me some snips) and i have seedlings going in solo cupsā¦ will the timing be ok there?

Donāt worry about the time frames, they wonāt be exact no matter what. The clips will need rooting and in the time that takes your little rooted plants will keep trucking. It is going to matter how long they take to root and how well each one does after that.
Some strains root quickly, others slowly and others are hard as hell to root.

It depends on the size of the cuts
A rooted clone is similar to a 3 week old plant
But to make sure they are all the same size take the same size cuts from your mature plant
Thatās the best way
To keep everything the same size unless the seedlings are slow growers

The reason your getting higher ppm out than what you put in is cuz with top feeding your pushing down extra ppm from previous feeding that was not used up befor ie the feed at top of pot 1/3
With bottom feeding you get perfect ppm and ph straight to the roots tips at bottom of pot ( no change in ppm or ph )
Whereas with top feeding your picking up old feed with the new feed and pushin the total down to feeding root zone at bottom of pot = less control
If you visualise : )
With bottom feeding itās not 1/3 volume salt build up but a more concentrated tide line ( like incoming tide pushing seaweed up beach and as it goes out it leaves it there kind off )
This line is always pushed safely above feeding root zone tho and is why with bottom feeding you never top feed or top water inbetween for any reason

This is what I was saying about the build up of nutrients in the soil. But @ifish explained a lot better than I did. As i have told you many times, I am a grower and not a teacher.
