sgapetti - I have definitely learned that warmer temps are key for cloning. My temps in the summer would be high 70s to mid 80s, and that worked fine for the grow and cloning. Now in the colder months, my temps are running low 70s to low 60s. Still ok for the grow, but not the cloning. The indoor clone box stayed in the low-mid 80s and worked pretty good. I think I am still dialing in the watering routine. I have always let them get really dry to adhere to the wet/dry cycle. But I think I may let them get too dry, and that a bit more frequent waterings might help. We'll see, still playing.
Chloemobile - Yep, I love this hobby too. I have always read about the wet/dry cycle too, and that is something I am going to be playing with. Like sgapetti said, dry, not arid. I think I might let mine go too dry sometimes. Reading some PPK threads due to DocCrow's grow and they really never have a dry period and do really well. So, anyways, just gonna play with my watering schedule and see if anything changes.
audioguy - I love the GH Maxi products. I used to use the Schultz too, and this stuff kills it. I use the Maxi Grow and Bloom. I feed pretty much every watering now. I might throw in a plain water here and there, but nothing scheduled. My moms get plain water about every other watering.
Kushion - That is exactly what I like about the perpetual system. If I have a bad week, hopefully the next pull will be better just 2 weeks later. I posted that weak harvest mainly to show that it's not all puppy dogs and rainbows all the time, sometimes you have a blah outcome even when you think it's pretty much dialed in. I don't want to only document the good stuff here, I want to document all the reality of it, good, bad or ugly.
Cheers!
