ok I just ran into this starting reading about heisinburg tea lol
Tea it up man, sure helped my plants! The bio-war is the shit but I'm still using up all the other shit I started with (a few posts back) in addition to BW. Dude all my MJ, house plants and even my fruit trees are digging the stuff. Cheap to do and a little goes a long way. Costs me maybe a $1 a gallon to make and 5 gal works for all my green stuff in and out of the grow room.

Thanks BB....love the beer belly cloner
So I started another round of clones in the homemade mini Beer Belly Bubble Cloner to learn more about it. This time I used a bunch of random trimmings from flowering plants. Used the same initial watering plan: 2-3 drops ea Superthrive and GH Rrapid Start. Don't know if this is good or bad but WTF I had to trim 'em any way. Using the trimmings as clone practice was an afterthought or I would have taken better care of them LOL. ;-)

So I stuck 'em in the Beer Belly Mini Cloner. For shits and giggles.

And let 'em bubble away. Wow I was kinda of surprised thinking that the flowering cuts would die.

But to my surprise all but one lived.

.....And a few even went on to make their own flowers as they are on the same light schedule as the grow room
IMG_0481.JPG IMG_0484.JPG
Most even made decent little mini root balls too
IMG_0482.JPG
I'm gonna keep em in the cloner until I have a spot open in the grow room when ...
IMG_0487.JPG
.....I pluck this Sugar Mango Auto who's getting closer to done.

Then I'll transplant one or two of these flower clones and see what happens.

Conclusion? Bomb ass clone, hermie, weak ass weed, die of root rot, who knows ???
But nothing ventured nothing gained.

Update
Watch out for cheap ass Co2 regulators! I just happened to be looking after the girls and whammo I hear electrical sparks popping. Turn around and see my Co2 regulator's solenoid smoking and sparking! I immediately unplugged it and grabbed a wet cloth to cool it down. Then turned on fans to blow out that stinky ass electrical smoke. Not a lot of smoke but it sure lingers. Luckily I keep my Co2 in an outer room so it didn't stink up my ladies! But I've been burning candles and incense for 2 days trying to get rid of that fuckin smell!

The dude at the local hydro store said he'd never seen this before. I think he's lying through his teeth! He quickly offered me a free replacement! Fuck that! Give me a refund dude I told him.

Good thing I was there! I suspect moisture/freeze-up may have leaked into the electrical and shorted it out.
I picked up a better (I think) replacement but plan on converting a 6L water heater to a burner for my next grow. Beware of bargains you might end up paying for it big time!

The girls are still growing good except that one leggy bitch in the middle.

I use titan controls for my co2. Great brand and worth every penny.
What regulator you using? IMO The Titan ones look cheap as the rest. but I got one today out of necessity $25 over list online prices! Hydro dealers are crooks! Think I might upgrade my current rig with a more industrial solenoid valve. But for sure gonna make a burner for next grow.

I think titan products are made in the USA. Ivenever had one of their timers, co2 regulators, or 50 amp pannels fail on me. Go titan anytime you can. They look as cheap as all the rest of them because the knock offs are imatating them lol ;)

Scary stuff! I just got a couple of solenoid valves to shut off auto watering in case of a leak but they are 12VDC. Sounds like I need more fuses.

Just got my new "Parker" brand solenoid valves today. A name I trust. Cost a bunch more but well worth the security I feel when I'm away knowing I won't have to return to a pile of ash but rather some green goodies. Don't want to be caught tripping over a dollar to pick up a dime. Safety first. Also bought a bunch of new smoke alarms for the groom and the attached dwelling. 5 for $43 at HD. Cheap insurance and they're good for 5 years!

I also have one of these extinguishers but its too big for my application. But I might install one of the smaller models.
