It won't but it won't kill the plants either.

Olivia's and Clonex are good if you're cloning in rockwool/rapid rooters/soil/etc but if you're using an aeroponic or bubber type cloner it's usually not necessary.

How tall are they now?

Why did you go from .2 to .12 EC? When are you going to start LF? I'd imagine that they're ready for more food but you reduced it, were they showing signs of toxicity?

Hey SME,

The tallest is about 7 inches. I topped the 2 tallest to let the 2 runts catch up a bit.

I'm gonna use Ionic Grow until I switch to 12/12

The .12EC was just the RO and well water together. The net EC was 0.54. So I started with 0.2, then 0.35 and now 0.54.

There was a bit of tip burn and a deficiency early on which looks like has been resolved. That's why I started mixing RO and well together: why buy Cal/Mag if I have all that in my well water? And my pH has been more stable since using mixed water.

I have the well analysis: pH neutral, hardness 79 ppm, TDS 0.19EC.

No worries, mate!

Thanks for keeping an eye on my grow. If I stray, please let me know.

What's the morphine for, other than pain management, if you don't mind me askin?

That's all it's for, to dull the pain. Hopefully I won't need it after my back surgery. ;)
