What does putting cloneX on your cuts do?

[RedWeasel]

I just dabbed some on the cuts with a toothpick to seal it up quicker and possibly hit it with a tiny amount of enzymes.

Ran into gnat sign & needed to top dress today due to the fact I’m only in a 7 gallon container. My sf nematodes do not arrive till Friday.

Old mulch removed, cover crop chop & dropped. Top dress of 2tbs each, basalt rock dust, mycos, azos, & craft blend were mixed with 1c worm castings and worked in remaining mulch & chopped cover crop. Old mulch retuned to pot. Hand watered 1/2 gallon 6.5 ph water mixed with 1/4 tsp each, coconut water powder, recharge & horticultural aloe powder. New straw mulch added & sticky traps replaced.

Busy morning! I’m fighting fungus gnats and my nematodes were delayed in shipping, but needed to do some training today & introduce bacillus thuringiensis israelensis as I have zero down time right now.

Topped each branch above the 3rd node while removing all growth below. Removed and discarded as much straw mulch as possible. Chop & dropped cover crop. Chopped remaining plant matter that was removed during pruning and added to chopped cover crop. Layered 1 1/2 c Build a Flower completely covering chopped plant material. Watered with 1/2 gallon bti watering mix including 1/4 tsp each of recharge, aloe powder, and coconut water powder. Replaced mulch later with finely diced dry straw, about 1/2 inch. Bud clips installed on all four branches, directly below the remaining nodes. Sticky traps replaced, Tray2Grow activated & DLI reduced to 32.

Put the final bends to her this morning. Took a while, but we got our eight mains established. <div>

I’ll give her 10-14 days to solidify & finally it will be time to flip.

You soil heads are weird but I’m here for it…

She’s showing a bit of stress this morning, but she’ll be fine. We were just really busy today.

Deactivated blue supplemental & synced far red supplemental with main lights set to 12/12. IR supplemental set to run 15 minutes before lights on & 15 minutes after lights off. UV pulses will begin next week.

Removed 4 fan leaves that were blocking lower mains. Top dressed with 2 tbs basalt rock dust, 4 tbs craft blend, 2 cup build a flower worked into the straw mulch layer & watered in with 1 gallon of 6.5 ph plain water mixed with 1/2 tsp horticultural aloe powder & 1/4 tsp each of horticultural coconut water powder & recharge.
DLI set to 25 & VPD parameters set for early flower.

This weeks time-lapse should be pretty cool.

Lots of work done today.

Installed a RO system & replaced all 50 gallons from my reservoir. The KC water report I read was appalling & I’m surprised she’s doing so well.

Pulled the mulch layer and layed down a 1/4 inch layer of castings to replenish the microbe population.

Activated UVB pulses 1 minute per hour during the middle 8 hrs of the 12 hr light period. I’ll ramp the minutes weekly & let her acclimate slowly.

Hand watered with 1/2 gallon of aloe infused water adjusted DLI & buttoned her up for the week.

I’m going with a hands off approach, only spending an hour or so on Saturday maintenance before the show. It’s paying off.

I’m extremely happy to report that my year long Ph struggle is over!

When I replaced the reservoir with ro water yesterday it was still reading 9+. Ran my circulation pump overnight & it stabilized right at 6.5 this morning.

I’m a very happy human right now. This has been baffling me for an entire year.
