CLONE CARE - TIPS & TRICKS
new clones
Decide where your clone is going to be planted (Outside, Greenhouse or Indoor.). Next pick a medium used, either inert (ex: coco /peat moss, soil, or soil bed. West Coast Chronics clones will grow well in either just keep in mind some tips below
**Avoid putting fresh clones outside too early when night time temperatures get below 60F
**Avoid putting fresh clones in hot sun or back patio where temperatures are much hotter than actual forecast temperatures
**Avoid putting new clones directly under HPS or high intensity LED
** Be sure not to disrupt the plants photo period. Clones and plants designated to go outside should never receive less than 18 hours of light per day. Failure to maintain proper photoperiod may drastically reduce plant heath, vigor and yield.
**Avoid spraying any oil based products on new clones.
ACCLIMATE
Acclimate your clone to its new environment. Clones coming dispensary shelves need to be acclimated before placing under high intensity lights (HPS or LED) or DIRECT SUNLIGHT
Consider placing clones going outside in windowsill for a few days, still be weary of cooler temperatures by window
Clones going under HPS lights should be placed in the shade of other plants or 4+ feet from HPS light.
Clones purchased that will be permanently planted outside can be transplanted into larger pots (ex:3-5gal) (Plants may then be grown outside "weather permitting," cold days and nights should be avoided)
**Avoid planting outside too early in the season WCC recommends waiting to perminatly plant outside until at least June in northern PNW maybe even a few weeks longer
FEED PLAN
Documnet your past and future feed schedule to be sure not to over/under feed your plant. Cannabis is a fast growing plant that requires ample nutrients, but as a clone too much fertilizer will easily kill the plants. WCC Clones are fed 250ppm of Dyna Gro "Grow" before delivery to dispensaries
TIPS
A PPM meter is an accurate way to measure fertilizer content and new clones (1-3 days from purchase) should not be fed water over 300PPM
Plants can be fed a low dosage fertilizer 250ppm-400ppm as long as soil drys & is watered properly. Plants receiving irregular waterings or fertilizer will suffer lockouts or root rot.
Plants in small pots on constant irrigation can be fed non-stop and will use less fertilizer. While hand watered plants in larger pots can usually handle slightly more fertilizer but need to have intermitted fresh water feedings
PLANTING
INDOOR
Once plants have been in the grow room out of direct sunlight for a few days they can be moved to direct light
GREENHOUSE
WCC Clones can be placed in greenhouse immediately after purchase given that environmental conditions are not exceeding 85 degrees daily or below 60 degrees at night.
OUTDOOR
Once clone has been acclimated to the sun, plant in pots or soil beds and place on regular irrigation.
If plant still displays signs of stress in hot summer sun consider using a shade cloth for several more days

CLONES PLANTED JUNE 7th
This Purple Punch clone was planted June 7th
TIP:
Leave some space! These plants were planted June 7th in Sandy OR and reached a width of 6'+ as seen below
PLANTING:
Cold night time temperatures will stress and delay growth. Plants grown inside until night time temperatures are warmer will preform better
