Bob Bitchen's buds

[BobBitchen]

Have you tried willow water in it? Roots look great by the way. I need to order some emitters and start one. I am tired of buying the plugs.

No, I would like to try willow water & aloe vera.

Great info man, I'll stick to the plain water then, I've never used olivias before but glad you told me it failed, you just saved me some hassle! I should have some dyna nutes in soon though, but I should probably just stick with water for the first run and if it works like usual I'll stick with that is the olivias good for anything? Possibly root plugs? I'd hate to let it go to waste since it'sa new bottle

I used Olivias when I used rapid rooters & it worked fine.
I got the aero cloner because I was away from my
grow for 2-3 days at a time & couldn't mist.
And with 100% success & no maintenance,
Im happy.

Thats the idea plus i can build one to run the large # i need. I am thinking 60 site will work.

I used mine for a perpetual sog, and it worked like clockwork.
I could count on 14 days from cut to 1gal pots everytime

 

[AlphaPhase]

Totally agree with ya there! Aerocloner was a breeze, before that I used rock wool and it wasn't a great success rate for me, maybe 70%. What kind of inserts do you use for your cloner? All I have is the 2" net pots and neoprene, yours looks easier to just have to use the inserts you have. I used to have problems with the roots tangling in the jet pots so sometimes I broke some roots during transplant. Those dynachems are looking great btw

 

[Mohican]

With those big roots, are they ready for transplant?

I was cleaning the cloner and I broke a sprayer. I have some replacements.

I found some great inserts at one of the hydro stores. I got 4 to try and they were perfect. I went to another store and bought a bag full and they are the wrong size. I need to return them!

Built a DIY aero cloner last year and same thing, they're hard to screw up, have tried RO water, tap water, dirty water, warm water, cold water, they pop roots within 10-12 day regardless. So much more reliable than any other method I've used in the past. Mine has 12 spots and typically grow out 10-11 of them if I fill it.

tnx for coming by GroErr
I bought a couple cheap ones from amazon, 24 & 36 site lids, same size rez.
I then DIY'ed a lid from a plastic cutting board with lrgr holes, & bought some colored puk's to keep diff strains apart at the same time.
Easiest & most reliable part of my gig

Hey Bob, likin the look of that Dinafem That's probably the best way to describe it, build or buy, it's one of those rare things you don't even have to think about once you're setup.

 

[Arris]

Nice thread Bob. The scrog looks alright and them buds are getting frosty. Sooooooon you will get to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

It looks like you got this all under control and your tents are filling up with bud. You like growing multiple strains at once? I don't because I was using a UC DWC until I burnt out the pump. But still I have a hard enough time keeping one strain healthy let alone multiple strains. You got some nice plants.

You should start a clone business with your amazing cloning talent!

I just don't know if thats sarcasm or genuine.
Fu*ing members here play games, I'll figure it out.

 

[Mohican]

No sarcasm here. He has the magic touch! He took my LA Con cutting and is making it do things I have never seen! I wish I had given him a Blue Dream cutting.
