Been about a week. All but 2 are moved into permanent homes, still waiting on last 2 I planted. I mixed some rooting powder in ph’d water, and watered soil around the clear cup, then popped them out of cup directly into their hole for a perfect fit every time. What I learned so far in soil… I put seed 1 1/2 inch deep into seedling soil. While preparing the cups, I compacted the damp soil too much. All but 4 were up in 3-4 days. Day 6 I went digging for the missing 4. Started moving top of soil around w toothpick and found all of them trying to push up thru too dense soil. Loosened them a bit and all are up now.

You should hang your air pump higher then the water line in your buckets just incase the power go’s out there’s a chance that it could siphon the water out of your system…

Thx, forgot bout that. Hey, I’m fixing to give grafting a try. How big a diameter of stem should I try with? Wanting to take cuts from Gorilla and Tutankamon and just transfer grafts from one to the other.

Never tried it , but if I did , I would want the cutting to fit inside of the branch coming off of the main trunk that will be the new mother plant for the clone… if you notice a MG plant has hollow stems and branches … the healthier the plant , the bigger the hollow shafts are in the plant… that way it can take up all the nutrients and water…
@Donaldj actually has a thread going where he’s doing what your planing too do… hopefully he can tag you into he’s thread…
Will be watching your progress my friend…

I transplanted a Tutankhamun seedling 4 weeks ago into 7 gallon cloth pot with Happy Frog soil. It supposedly gets up to 33 percent THC. After 28 days and several toppings, I am liking her growth at
8 inches tall.

Just curious @bryan did you do any preparation, rinse with pH water, or anything like that before using the happy frog? I plan to use it for my entire grow.
Using Remo nutes each third watering is all. But I just used the last of it

System is working like a champ. TDS around 850, ph slowly drops from 5.9 to 5.5 over 3 days, then top off with 7.0 water The stretch is on, tons of bending, 3 plants are drinking 2 gallons a day. They were flipped to 12 hours 10 days ago.

One of my rdwc buckets got cracked and I woke up to some serious water leak in growroom. Vacuumed nutes out of reservoirs, replaced bucket, mopped up the mess and finally back running. On the bright side , my floor is cleaner. With all that work done, wth, I added a 800 watt cfl (180 true watts) and a cheap 1000 i led at 265W to my 3’X5’ area with 2 MarsHydro 600’s in it. The area has total 7 soil strains and 3 more in the rdwc.
