Zombie Kush | Ripper Seeds | Classic Strains Clone

Zombie Kush | Ripper Seeds | Classic Strains Clone

Its vegetative period must be generous if we want to develop the full potential of its indica size. With a low EC in both growth and flowering we will obtain spectacular results. Its lilac tones and the large number of trichomes that cover its large flowers will make this variety an essential piece for lovers of kush flavors.

What To Do When You Receive Your Clones of Zombie Kush?

1. TRANSPLANT
We highly recommend transplanting into the soil or medium that suits your system as soon as you receive your clones. If necessary, they can remain in their “Blisters” for a day or two without allowing the Rockwool/RootRiot to dry out.

We recommend transplanting clones into a 1.5-2 liter pot so that they can form a solid root and sturdier plant structure before being placed in their final pot. Immediately transplanting them into a pot that is too large can cause root rot to develop and slow or hinder the growth of your plant. This will help harden them off and establish themselves before they are transplanted into their final pot.

2. ACCLIMATATION
Acclimating clones to their new environmental conditions is essential to growing a healthy plant and having a successful cycle. While at the nursery, the clones are kept under a 24-hour light cycle. We recommend keeping them on at least an 18/6 light cycle (18 hours light and 6 hours dark) after receiving them. While in the cloning facility, they are kept at 21-24 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of 69-75%. A slight decrease in temperature and humidity can be accomplished within a week to allow your clones to adapt to your grow room environment.

Acclimating clones to non-direct light is essential to avoid stress. Full intensity of sun or lamps can damage a younger clone/plant, so you will need to decrease the light intensity. The best way to do this is to use a greenhouse, physically move them in and out of the structure, or place shade netting (30-40%) over them for this adjustment period. The acclimation phase should only take a week or two and should be enough time to remove the shade or be moved out of a greenhouse to full light exposure. Maintaining a constant flow of air on your plants will help harden them to the natural conditions found outside and will help make the stems much stronger overall.

3. IRRIGATION AND NUTRITION
Overwatering clones is a very common mistake. It is essential to give your clones a healthy amount of water, but do not oversaturate them by submerging them. A dry-down period is necessary for clones. To determine the moisture content of the soil when the pot is light, squeeze a small handful of medium and observe if water drips. If no water is coming out, it’s a great time to give them a healthy watering without over saturation. This watering method allows the roots to search the pot for water/nutrients creating a sturdy root ball.

If you have some clones that are still showing stress after transplanting up to three days later, you can give them some water again, but you’ll want to make sure the Rockwool/RootRiot itself is moist. Sometimes, even if the soil is moist, the cube will dry out and water must be applied exclusively to the cube. You need to find a good balance between letting the clones dry out without allowing the foliage to show signs of stress. This can cause health problems for your clones.

Clones can be fed every other day a vegetative feed between 1100-1400 PPM depending on how quickly they are assimilating nutrients (NOTE: each strain is different). How often you need to feed them will depend on the type of growth you have (i.e., inorganic, organic, synthetic, hydro, soil, etc.).

FAQ

WHICH GENETICS ARE AVAILABLE?
Genetics marked as “available” are ready to ship on schedule. Genetics listed “not available” can be pre-ordered by sending us a request to [email protected] and will generally be available in 15/21 days.

WHAT ARE THE SHIPPING AND DELIVERY TIMES?
If the genetics are marked as “available” shipping times can vary from 2 to 5 working days (to ensure that your clones do not remain stuck in courier warehouses, shipments are made by Wednesday of each week).

HOW ARE CLONES SHIPPED?
We ship our clones in special blisters for transporting the plants.

ARE CLONES FEMINIZED?
Yes, all our clones are taken from female mother plants.

HOW BIG ARE THE PLANTS I WILL RECEIVE?
Our clones have a height that varies from 13cm to 25cm.

HOW DO I KNOW THE CLONES ARE PARASITE-FREE?
Our plants are prepared and grown with strictly controlled practices both in the greenhouse and in the laboratory in environments free of plant parasites. We only use chromotropic traps and predatory insects to defend the cultivation spaces.

WHAT IS THE “RECIPE” THAT MAKES THE CLONES HIGHER LEVEL?
Mother plants are constantly regenerated through tissue culture so you always have fresh clones at peak vigor. Once the clones have been taken from the mother plants, they are left to root in a peat/coconut mixture, supplemented with a mixture containing natural plant hormones, basic micro/macronutrients and vitamins.

DOES TISSUE CULTURE ELIMINATE “GENETIC DRIFT”?
Genetic drift, also known as clonal degradation, is a phenomenon typically caused by a variety of factors that can include poor cultivation practices, stress due to abiotic factors (light, heat, fertigation), or biotic factors such as parasites and microbes. Since tissue culture restores the youthful state of the old, tired mother plant and completely removes parasites and pathogens, clonal degradation becomes highly unlikely.
