First grow ever Northern Lights clone

Hello all. Here is my growing setup.

The cabinet:

It is 36” wide, 20” deep, and 54” high.

I have a PC fan running 24/7 my lights are slowly being adjusted to 18/6

The dispensary runs 24 hrs of light.

I have a small 250w heater that is tied to a thermostat set to 60 (for dark)

I am averaging 80°f during light period.

Here is my first plant, a clone I purchased at a local dispensary.

Yes this is how big she was then.

I understand that they were feeding her “Maxsea”, which is tripple 16.

I don’t know how much or how often.

Here I have cropped the top (made 6 clones)

She is planted in a 3 gallon fabric pot and I am starting to train her.

Soil is Foxfarms ocean forest.

One week later here are the clones and the mother.

The mother gets 8 cups of water every 3 days

The clones are misted twice a day.

I have done a bit more trimming today and pulled down the highest branches a bit more.

I am wondering if I should start adding a nutrient solution to her water?

What is the recommendation here?

Are there recommend nutes?

Thank you for your help.

Water until the roots form should be fine.

Is the grey covering on those rockwool cubes porous? Seen them a lot in pictures but not up close.

Thanks for the input
Yes the clones will be misted until the roots form.

How about the other concern?
When should I start feeding the bigger plant?
What nutes do you use?

Make sure water is fresh in your mister. Otherwise you may grow nasties. Water to your cubes should be enough. Domes just slow the evaporation of water from the soil.

Yes the grey is plastic (not porous)
When I see roots coming out of the bottom I will remove the plastic covering then plant in soil.

Roots need air and water to form and grow. I use wool cubes that do have plastic sides and the roots will crawl out of the sides as well as the bottom.
