Hi all

Wondered if it is beneficial to my cloning efforts (have just set up a small cloning facility ) to use some of my additives in the water I feed to my clones. Both my veg and flower areas run with Silicon and Fulvic acid and I was wondering if adding these to the water fed to the clones (for a 6 place self watering pot in, clones in 1 inch rockwool cubes with seperate gravity fed res) would help or hinder the process.

When reading a sticky on in FAQs that didn't mention anything in the water, but I've also read on here of people using Aeroponic cloners adding Nitrozyme to the water with good results.

Anybody tried using additives in cloning with success and or failure??

cheers

One other thing. As I tend to go away for a week or two at a time for work, would it be a good idea to add a very small amount of nutrient to the water so that the plants don't go without if they need it whilst I'm away??

Am eagarly waiting opinions.

cheers again

hi pacaman,try rhizotonic,used it a few times for cutts,works a treat,but just water doesthe job,try misting with nitrizyme,keeps them green(organic) gud luk.......

Rhizo in the cube soak and in feeds along with budlink and a foliar feed when roots appear.


No need for friendly bacteria untin in veg start feeding normal nute about 3 days after rooting from cube..you cant really expect the clones to feed themselves they need folar feeding as soon as rooted, sitting cubes in water is asking for dramas.

Would the silicon or fulvic help??

Thanks all

Snap:- The clones are under little mini humididomes being watered via capillary action in their pot (the pot sits on a capillary mating so it's not exactly sitting in water). Didn't see that you'd mentioned the silicon earlier. Do you think the fulvic would help?? According to the propaganda on the fulvic it's supposed to enhance absorbtion of silicon and promote root growth.

At the moment I'm practicing on some bagseed so that when my good genetics get here, I have a clue what to do

Any more thoughts??

Yep the silica helps in the transition from clone to veg then veg to flower. once you start dosing with silica/budlink you need to keep it up at a strong dose until the end of flower. its not the sort of thing you use weekly and get noticable effects.

In coco i use between 3ml veg and 5ml perlitre from start of flower. for clones id foliar feed the budling until you have heaps of roots then root feed.

Falvic acid ive not tried as yet but those who use swear by it. i use a trace mix to replenish whats taken out by a R/o fillter. Ive never seen one of those capillary mats could be very usefull in a clone box...


Nothing wrong with Bag seed in the past its out preformed ALL seed from seedbanks for me.

no probs pacaman,best ov luk mate,haope all goes sweet for you,we all deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!!
