Since I have decided to make these changes, moving process for perpetual, it really points to some pivotable moments through the process of my grow that really require everything to be on time and in place! If not I miss my marks every two weeks....
As you all know I have my mother plants and cloning area, the moms have been doing great and really need some pruning as they are getting really bushy with some good viable clones! I have however, been experiancing some issuse with my cloning setup in perlite!
Perlite cloning update- I have had some issues here. With only the perlite and trays for water wicking the perlite works great to pull the water however, with the evaporation rate I have right now in the tent for the clone trays I am watering in the tray only every other day and thats way too much for these cuttings. Its washing the rooting agent to the bottom of the perlite in the cups. Now at this point, I needed to get the moisture to stay with the clippings a little longer and have recently decided that a 50/50 mix of perlite and peat moss will suit my situation better.
Now I just made these changes and will have to give you guys an update on the process, I can say though with the perlite from the time cutting was taken and placed into the perlite. These things look healthy all the way up to the point where you ready to take a look at the roots and see well, they just didn't have them, my last two flushes of cuttings...ugh. I really wanted to do a vermiculite and perlite mix instead of peat moss, but I am still a budget grower and needed to use up the peat moss that I had and couldn't find vermiculite right now.
