Full Version: Clones
At the minute I have 3 white rhino flowering 10days in my nft tank and they wont be ready till New year I have a mother plant in soil which I want to take clones off,veg for 4 weeks before my harvest is due as I would like to transport them straight to the nft when harvest is over, can this be done? What method should I use if its possible, using rockwool cubes at the minute would flood and drain suit me better for this process?

Hiya mate,
you could raise them in rockwool cubes and then transplant them up into larger cubes in a propogator tray and hand water.
Your probably looking at 2 weeks to root then 1 week to grow through small rockwool cube and another 7-10 days to grow through the larger transplanting cubes.
So in total your looking at about a 5 week process from taking clones to being ready to drop into your NFT.
Hope thats not confusing mate
Good luck
.
Thanks for the info, thats it sorted no need to switch to flood &drain
Cheers

hello m8
i am 10 days away from chopping a clone grown in a cube, then into a 2 litre tub of perlite, fully hand watered.
once you transplant into the 3 inch cube, make sure and cover the rockwool as u normally would, i didn't
i re-read that and it kind of don't make sense
what i mean is you can leave them indefinately in a cube, so you could stagger the processes if you wanted to, or if you wanted to you could keep mothers passive hydro instead of soil.
just clone into a little cube and then transplant that into perlite and it's the same processes as a soil pot, but u need ph & ec control which you have already with nft.
