TCH - Maternity Ward - Mother and Clones tent

Finally got around to re-doing the 2x2 I keep the moms and clones in. Snagged an old wire shelf from work and cleaned it up. Fits in the tent perfect. I put the clone dome up top where it is out of the direct light and the moms downstairs. I ziptied the led to the bottom of the top shelf. There is also an inkbird heating pad with heating pad controller under the clone dome.



Clones are in root riot plugs. Moms are in Happy Frog soil.

Currently running half the clones plain and I dipped half of them in aloe to see if I notice any difference in rooting times.

The Chernobyl Slymer Cut S1 cuttings were cut tonight 1/19

The blueberry cupcake and Cinderella Purple cuttings were cut 1/5. I had no heat under them so they still haven't rooted, but are still healthy looking. Now that I've added heat, I expect to see some roots relatively quick.


I plan on keeping any mom or clone updates in here. All comments are welcome!!!

everytime i add heat its a clusterfuck of rot and mold. i just stopped adding heat to clones all together. yeah it takes longer to root but they look a million times better and healthier with good rooting rates. hope it works out better for you.

I have it currently warmed up to about 77° The normal temp in there is 65-67° so I'm hoping it's not too warm or swampy in there. Just enough to take the winter edge off.

keeping the vents open? for me its more humidity than the temp itself i’m guessing. i dont live in my grow space so i just leave them be for 24hrs everyday which means i have zero control over the humidity in the trays. that coupled with heat evoporating water constantly, it looks like a jungle in there lol.

Top is closed, the two sides are cracked a bit so they can have a little fresh air. It seems to be hanging between 60-70% rh in the dome.

Nice mommy cab boss! Everytime I build something new, the humidity is all over the place. Mainly because I keep opening the door so I can admire my handy work. Fucking love weed! And building shit

Same here. Luckily the dome helps regulate it a bit on the nursery up top. Lol. I'd love to have an entire room I could dedicate to a grow and just set a lawn chair up in the middle to sit and stare

My last grow was a full basement for 10 years. Thing is, bigger the room gets, the less time you have to sit and stare. I like gliding around on my office chair sliding doors and opening zippers. Way more relaxing.

Little bit of Sunday maintenance. Since I already have several cuts in the nursery up top, I just pruned and tossed the extras today.

It hurts to let them go. I'll do 2 bong rips for each one. How many did you say? 43,57?

Thanks!! It definitely helped me feel better about the grow space. Looking forward to getting a few more things taken care of the next couple weeks to get as much automation done before I leave for 8 days in February.

1/4 Blueberry Cupcake have rooted

4/5 Cinderella Purple have rooted



Clones all looking happy

Mom's lookin happy and in need of another haircut

My 2 moms have started lightening up a little bit and one is showing a little bit of deficiency. They are in happy Frog soil and have been for some time. The pots are approximately 1/2 gallon. I have some Dr earth 2-2-2 dry fertilizer. How much do I sprinkle on top of the soil? How long does that amendment last? How often should I be adding it?

Cinderella Purple


Blueberry Cupcake

I do 2 tbsp of 4-4-4 every other week on my mother plants. I add a pinch of 3-9-4. Azomite if they need a kick in the ass

What size pots?

1/2 gallon. I'm moving them all to 5 gal buckets cut down to 8" . Makes trimming the roots a bit easier. Just haven't gotten around to it yet

Watered in 1/2TBSP Dr Earth 2-2-2 to each of the moms this morning.


Clones/cuttings are all happy and healthy. Still only 1 of the blueberry cupcakes has rooted. I dumped a little bit of the water out of that tray. No roots on the Chernobyl cuttings yet, but they are still young. They are still happy and healthy though.
