One immediate difference between the clones produced by the T48 and my previous attempts with Rockwool was that the T48 produced clone were far more robust and healthy looking!Īs kind of an experiment yesteday, I moved the majority of the new clones out from under the patio area and into direct sun from about 11AM to 5PM. These shots were taken 24 hours after the plants were originally transferred from the cloner into soil/pots. I kind of wanted to close out this cloning session report with some closing comments and another round of recent photos of the newly transplanted clones. Saves having to go in there, open the closet doors and check directly. To better keep an eye on the water temp of the cloner, I setup one of my many webcams to monitor the remote temp probe via our local network! Looking for a final water temp of 71 degres F, because that will give me a degree to play around with in case it gets hot in there after the AC shuts down tonight. Will check the PH again in a few hours and adjust as needed. PH is currently holding at 5.5, but I expect it to rise a bit from the cloning gel being washed into the water. Water temp is currently holding at 67 degrees, so I can afford to let the pump run longer for awhile. If they don't recover, then I will yank them and focus on the Blueberry cuttings which didn't suffer from this odd wilting issue. I plan to go back to that interval as soon as the Urkles recover.
This kept the water temp stable at 3 degrees below the ambient room temperature. In my testing, I settled in on a cycle of 3 minutes ON and 7 minutes OFF.
