LUI Day 23

LUI Day 23

today is Day 23 for the seedlings and Day 1 for our LUI clones . . . the 13 original seedlings were watered tonight with about a gallon of water shared equally between them . . . we used the Age Old Organics grow formula to feed the babes with this watering . . . when our seedlings were top-cloned last night they were all given a tiny drink of pure water . . . and tonight they were already dry to the touch and light in feel (or is that dry to feel and light in touch?) . . . the babes are drying out pretty quickly now and are pretty good sized for plants in a small 4 1/2″ planter . . . so they’ll need to be re potted this weekend . . . it’s very likely our next LUI post will end up being a few pics and a lil mini description of re potting . . . it sure looks like our lil darlings have already outgrown their first homes!

LUI Backup Clones Day 1

here’s a peak of the little top-clone babes that were taken last night . . . no action was necessary . . . they were just admired . . . our “cloning cabinet” is just over 4 feet in length and about 10 inches deep . . . it comes out to something like 3 . . . 75 square feet if memory serves correctly . . . after some searching we were able to find standard 4′ fluorescent fixtures which were slim enough (with the bulbs set close enough together) that a pair of fixtures would fit in our cabinet . . . so that’s a total of 4 x 4′ fluorescent bulbs lighting our cloning cabinet . . . 160 watts of mixed daylight spectrum, sunlight spectrum, and grow light bulbs . . . that’s more watts per sq foot than most folks use to root clones . . . it’s a fairly recent discovery here but we’ve found that the increased light has also increased our success rate . . . if using this level of light with clones it critical to pay attention to temp at the clones level . . . while we want to provide lots of light energy for vigorous growth . . . we also need to avoid “cooking” the leaves before the plants develop roots . . . 75 degrees F with humidity something around 60% or 70% seems to be ideal . . .

LUI-Clones—Day-1

we’ve generally run our vegging lights on 24/7 so rarely do we have much “sex expression” while in the veg state . . . we’ve actually been planning on cutting our veg room back to only 18 hours of light per day in order to cut down on our hydro bill . . . in some cases that change can be enough to trigger sex expression . . . we’ll be seeing soon for ourselves how the LUI’s react on this one!
