stuffing mums with P and K before cloning

i'm using an aerocloner, ez clone to be exact and i've been gettin my backside bloodied. i haven't been able to enjoy the pleasures of a sitdown for weeks. i've had little--no... zero sexcess! so what i've done is this: i've cultivated some new queens. they're looking good, been in the organics for 2 weeks and in one week, next wednesday i plan on taking some eugenics just like joseph mengles, that sick bastard. i know this is a little premature, from what i gathered it's best to let the mums stretch out for 2 months. but i'll be damned, i can't wait. like my sexual conquest, i'm in a situation that requires prematurity.
so here's my ?. anybody have any advice on building the carbs in the mamas so the rooties root? i 'm thinkng about hitting the compost with potash for K and bloom juice for P to pack the sugars and carbs that the little ones require once they've been cleaved. my ????: has anyone tried this, has anybody an opinion on this, has anyone translated this sexcessfully?

one other detail. georgie seervantes seems to think that clones should receive the same light schedule as their mammies. my ma's have been going 18/6, so would'nt it be proper to illuminate the juniors with the same dosage? any and all consul would be greatly appreciated.

I've always heard that you want to take cuttings from a plant that is lacking in Nitrogen, and they will root easier. So I water the mothers with plain water for a couple of days before taking cuttings. Or you could spray the mothers foliage with water the day before.

I keep my mothers on 18/6, and I've found that cuttings root faster on 24 hours of light.

HTH :mrgreen:

pr, that's what i'm thinking, i'm reverse foliar feeding the ma's with pura aqua and leeching the soil for 6 days with the same. i was just thinking of adding P and K during the days right before i cut. according to jorge cer, and i quote "K helps combines starches and carbs, which is essential to their production and movement. it is also encourages strong root growth." thanx for your help

Taken from my post: Cloning the Easy Way
While the machine is bubbling away we will prepare our mother(s). This is NOT necessary, but helps.
It is best to flush the mother plant if she has been fed anything with N in it recently... Let her dry out a bit over the week before you take clones. Once she is ready for another watering, and we are ready to clone, we will prepare an R/O (I'm TLO ) water solution of carbs and sugars for her to feast on before we slice her up.


The Recipe:
1 L Water
1 ml Advanced Nutrients' CarboLoad or Similar
1/8 tsp Powdered Sugar


I always double water my plants. (Start with R/O only, just enough to moisten the soil a bit... Wait a few hours and water with your nute or additive solution...)
I do this as soon as the lights come on, and the mother is gonna soak this up for the rest of the light period. We will take our cuts once the lights go out... Or just before.
