mine is a 35 site. You can get them at home depot or costco for about $9. I order my collars online and they hold multiple clones each. Ive rooted over 120 clones at once in this 35 site.

I had to trim the roots on this one to get it out.
I've tripled up my 30 site. It works well.

I made a ghetto af unit out of a plastic container I already had, a one inch hole saw and x-large foam hair rollers ($1 at Dollar General and Wally World for a big bag). The rollers have a perfect sized slot running through them for stems. They are about 3 inches long, so I cut them in two and sliced a slot lengthways. I already had a large air pump from brewing my AACTs and bought two longer air stones. I guess I should take some Emory cloth and smooth off those rough edges, lol, but when stoned off my ass I sometimes cut the fuck out of corners.

I add nothing to the reservoir but a couple drops of algae shit and the juice from one stem of aloe. I don't know if this helps, but aloe is supposed to aid in rooting, no? All three strains/phenos I'm running show roots within a week to 10 days and within 2-3 weeks are a hairy ass mess.

My first run I didn't let the roots get very long at all before transplanting and lost several plants. It also took a helluva lot longer for the plants to establish and start to grow. The second run I let them get into a tangled mess and they established and took off within days of transplant. I just put a little soil in the bottom, ease the plant down to the correct height and hold it with one hand while filling in the rest of the way with soil with other hand.

I love white Rhino! I bet the Orange Rhino is good.!
I grew some white rhino, joe rogan , GG #4 and a few other great strains I got from an amazing breeder in Santa cruz... I wonder if any of them you guys have are from the same person at some point along the line...

Last year I had issues with spots of mold and rot here and there. Instead of a full out bout of airborne boytrytis (sp?) I now believe I was dealing with worms. I have grown weed outdoors for years and have never had them or at least I didn't realize it and the damage was minimal or I chalked it up the mold to something other than worms, so really didn't know to look. Anyway, during harvest I found some of the little bastards last year when trimming and believe they are my source.

I read posts from you guys occasionally about spraying for them. Spinosad? I think? Anyway, I was curious if it is effective, does it hurt the buds much and when do you spray? The research I've done seems like the results vary.

I've had a good experience so far with BT and wild bird feed ... Went up top to see about 20 blue jays guarding my crop from any moving insect ... And thankfully they aren't landing on or eating at any of my plants... Knock on wood
Careful of attracting too many birds. Nuggs had an issue with them landing on and breaking branches last season! :D Te be fair his plants were also about 12 ft tall at that time! :D

Nice, lol I throw my bird seed I the alley so the birds see close but not too close. I'd like to build bat houses and attract more of those guys. I love watching the bats swooping over the plants in the evening.

I've seen that a lot of you folks make your own soil mix. Have any of you ever checked with landscaping companys to see what they have for compost?

Around here there is one place a lot of outdoor growers buy compost, and the company knows this. They sell there compost for $150 a yard, you truck it.

A friend of mine has a landscaping company and buys thier compost from a company down by the coast. Made with seaweed, cow poo, lobster and seafood shells. This is what we used last year and had excellent results. And for $50 a yard delivered its hard to beat.

Just a thought..!

Bats help bunches.
Last year was the first year I've ever had worms, I think it was because the greenhouse covers were up earlier than years past.. This hindered the bats from doing their job.
One of my little "pest control secrets" is "yellow jacket bait". A drop here and there on my plants attracts the "meat bees" as we call them here, and eat up the insects on my plants. The bees come in hungry and aggressive and looking to do damage on the insect population.

cans of cat food opened is a good attractant.

I been thinking of using my fly rod to catch them under the bridges around the sac river. I'm not sure what to do with them after I hook-em though. I never seen the meat bee attractant you mentioned before. I like that Idea better than cat food.
