Clone solution
| Product | Per gallon | 4-gallon batch |
|---|---|---|
| Bloom A | 4.25 g | 17 g |
| Bloom B | 2.17 g | 8.68 g |
Plugs are soaked in Bloom A + B; cuttings and rooted clones are fed Veg A + B.
- Fill a five-gallon bucket. Use four gallons of water and the batch amounts above.
- Set pH to 5.5–5.7. Optional: add 1–2 tbsp Myco Jordan or another beneficial bacteria.
- Soak the root plugs. Soak thoroughly for at least 15 minutes. Gently squeeze each plug to remove 30%–40% of its water.
- Space the plugs. Use a 50-site divider. Fill every other space in a checkerboard pattern.
- Prepare the insertion point. Cut a slit in the top of each plug where the hole is located, so clones can be inserted without damage.
