Caring for your Clones
1. Decide and Prepare
- Choose planting location (Outside, Greenhouse, or Indoor)
- Select a suitable medium (coco/peat moss, soil pot, or soil bed)
2. Timing and Temperature
- Avoid putting fresh clones outside before June 15th or when night temperatures go below 60F
- Avoid direct hot sun or intense light sources
- Maintain proper photoperiod for outdoor plants (not less than 18 hours of light per day)
3. Acclimate
- Clones from dispensary shelves need acclimation before intense lights or direct sunlight
- Consider placing clones near a window for a few days
- Transplant larger pots (3-5gal) for clones permanently planted outside after acclimation
4. Feed Plan
- Document past and future feed schedules
- Start feed program with purchase; clones are nutrient enriched with biochar
- Use a PPM meter to measure fertilizer content (avoid water over 300PPM for new clones)
5. Tips
- Adjust feeding based on pot size and irrigation method
- Cannabis plants in small pots on constant irrigation can use less fertilizer
6. Planting
Indoor:
- Move plants to direct light after a few days in a grow room
Greenhouse:
- Place clones in the greenhouse immediately if environmental conditions are suitable
Outdoor:
- Plant in pots or soil beds after acclimation to the sun
- Use regular irrigation; consider a shade cloth if signs of stress persist in hot sun
