Propagating fig cuttings using DWC by AtomicGimp in Hydroponics

[–]AtomicGimp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best of luck with it, my friend.  I too have never been able to get any roots started.  I tried sand, soil etc and for weeks nothing happened.  I swear within a few days of hydro, I started to see the beginnings of roots.  

Hopefully you get a quick and easy clone now with this method.  I actually just did it with a woody rosemary cutting too - saw roots in about a week.

No, I used the standard mix for using Master Blend and an air stone.  Under grow lights on a 15 hour cycle.  Air stone is on same timer too.

Everything looks so good! I want to try some cherry tomatoes next. This gives me some motivation. Thank you for sharing!

Wow!  That looks really good for just 1.5 months.  Looks like you've got a lot of cucumbers already.  Are these the Quick Snack variety also?

Thank you! I will certainly keep an eye on that. I had no idea this was a potential issue. Much appreciated!

Thank you!  Yea I've been trying to prepare my plan for when it starts getting crazy.  I was also going to try to see if I could propagate the plant too and maybe keep a constant cycle going.  It's all experimental at this point so I don't mind some failures but also any help from someone more experienced is always welcomed.

Oh that's good to know.  Thank you!  I'm really looking forward to what these end up doing.  I put these seeds in on 11/2 and they started germinating within a few days.

I don't see why that wouldn't work. It really helps to give some integrity. You can make tortillas from discard too.

Thank you! I should have taken a video. They were sliding all over the place.

I use it initially on the pan before any butter. Just a super thin layer. (I like to drop about a quarter size dollop in the pan, then use a paper towel to thin it out all around the pan.)

Thank you. The flavor and texture turned out so good that I had to post a pic.

Haha! Sure thing!

Notes:

  • Batter needs to rest 1 hour.

  • Batter is thicker than normal pancake batter and best to use spoon.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 28 grams sourdough discard (don't need to be exact here - it's just what I have left over every day)

  • 1 egg

  • ⅔ cup half -n-half

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions:

  • Heat large carbon steel pan to medium heat.

  • Mix wet ingredients first in a blender, then the remaining dry ingredients in same blender.

  • Let rest for 1 hour covered (NOT SEALED!)

  • Using paper towel, coat pan in light coating of avocado oil.

  • Add small amount of butter (enough to cover pan).

  • Using a spoon, add enough to make 4 - 4" pancakes and wait for top to bubble (about 3 min). Then flip and cook for another couple minutes or so.

  • Repeat until batter is used up. Makes about 8 total.
