ok so heres the low down on my set up
i have 10 soil grown ice plants about a month old
started with 10 seeds from nirvana shop and germinated and planted them all in individual 5 gallon grow bags with pro mix soil, which containes i beleive lime for ph balancing a co op fungus for root stimulation and of course vermiculite ( sp ? ) and all the other goodies that come in genreric top soil ( no nutes pre added i dont think )
I have 2 400 watt MH lamps and a t5 flouresent with 6 bulbs in a
4 X 4 X 6 mylared grown tent I plan on vegging them for 3 more weeks till their around a foot and a half tall then sexing them killing the males and flowering all but 2 moving the flouresent and the 2 choosin mother plants to a new tent and continue to cut clones off of them every 2 weeks for my own SOG
here are all of my questions
1 ) if i cut clones off a soil plant can i plant them hydroponicly
2 ) once i have my clones cut and waited the 2 weeks with them in the fogger for the root ball to form how would i transfer them to their new medium
a ) soil do i just burry the root ball the best i can and a little of the stem for stability or should i just wait till i see the beginnings of roots and transfer the new clone dirrectly to soil and pour a little extra rooting hormone down the stem
( this will only be an issue if i cant grow hydro if i can i wont use soil )
b ) hydroponicly ( i have only grown hydro once and that was in this )

which worked out fine but i had the moss starter plugs as opossed to the rock wool. So how would i get a clone with roots already formed into one of these systems because i want to use 4 of these for my sog one for each section. so basicly should i even use a cloner and transfer it over or just get this system use the rock wool cubes instead of the soil plugs and insert the clones right into the rook wool cubes ( instead of a fogger cloner ) with the rooting hormone and nutrients and clone them right in the rock wool because i have talked with the guys at the local hydroponics store and they report extreamly high rates or survival on clones cloned only in a cube of rock wool so i wanted opinions on this as well
3 ) all of that aside I have maxi grow veg (10 5 14 ) and maxi bloom flower ( 5 15 14 ) both powders. they say viable for both soil and hydro applications and i have used them on both so no problems their. My question is has anyone else used these befor and if so would you have a feeding schedual handy for both soil and hydro applications because as a novice grower with out a PPM meter i litteraly shot in the dark for my first few grows which turned out fine but i did nute burn them once in hydro twice in soil but flushed it quick enough to not do to much damage, so i cut back alot on the nutes which im sure effected my over all yeild
so with these name brand seeds and fancy new set up i want to get it right and see if i can manage one of those 60 + gram kholas and to do that i need a proper feeding schedual
the back of each of the containers read
.25 grams for seedlings and cuttings ( no mystery their )
.5 grams for orchids / delicates
1 gram for most applications
1.25 grams for fast growing plants
1.5 grams for very fast growing plants ( use with caution )
for the first 4 weeks of their life in soil i used .25 grams in a gallon of water and split it between the 10 plants so each plant got 1/10 of a gallon of water and i fed them every other watering now im up to .5 grams but i really have no idea how much water i should be giving them it seems like the general feeling on the forum is keep the soil damp so basicly i would like to know how much water in gallons each plant should get and how often and how much food should i be putting in the water
for the hydro applicatin it is a little easyer because it's just mix, leave it and change the water every 2 weeks or so so i would only need the know how many grams per gallon durring their different stages of life
I know this is alot of info im asking for and im currently reading more into the forums now to try to find my own answers but any info you could give me would be great
And of course since the cultivation of cannabis is illeagle where i live this is clearly all the fictional ramblings of a mad man but any info would still be apreciated
