Nice set up. Things are looking very good. Have you tried rapid rooters for your clones? Also I have found that misting the clones less(after the fist 2-3 days) makes (mine anyway) root faster. I see that you use a humidity dome, if you can find one that has air holes that you can open and close, it helps to harden them off. I'm just saying some things that helped my rate of sucess (95-98%) tremendously. Now when it comes to bubble cloners I cant get anything to live, and I cant figure it out.
QuietStorm: Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately we only have one more cloning session to do. The humidity dome that we have has holes on the top that we can open and close, so we'll try opening them more later on. We're planning on making up for the lack of clones this time by just taking more (hopefully) for the last harvest to go out with a bang.
Just got home from 9 days of visiting the family for christmas, and all of the plants survived. The mom got a little stressed out and had some crazy growth while we were gone.
We gave her a good trimming so she doesn't look as bad now. Hopefully she'll be ready for next week's cloning session.
The other plants in the flowering chamber are doing amazing. The soil was still moist by the time we got back, and they've been packing on incredibly. This morning, we lowered the light down by about a foot to try and get the buds to fill in a bit more with the next rounds. Here's a shot of the garden and one of the next ones to be harvested.
The first harvest smokes incredibly well, and we made some bubble hash from the trimming of 7 plants and got just under 5g. Anyways, that's all for now.
how did you figure the 5 plants every 2 weeks?
im planning a similar setup: cloner, mother cab, veg cab, flower cab, using 4 clones perpetually from cloner to harvest. im having trouble figuring how often i'll be able to harvest 4 plants.
growing mazar, and assuming a one month veg two to two and a half month flower rate for harvest, im just having lots of trouble figuring out how often to take clones from the mother and when to move the plants from cab to cab to ensure the right timing...the fact that im terrible at math doesnt help haha.
any ideas anyone?
the only thing you need to know is how often you want to harvest your 4 plants. we wanted to harvest every two weeks, so we'd just clone in 2 week cycles. so if you wanted a perpetual cycle of harvesting 4 plants a month, just take your original clones to start, and then a month later clone again
