I know you can't clone autos haha I just was thinking I'd do auto for my first run and In the meantime start a mother on the side to clone for the second run. I'm sorry if I sound stupid I'm very ignorant towards this subject

Screw autos go with reg or fem beans. Why not start practicing cloning. Its real simple.

This is me but If it we're my 1st time growing I would start in soil. I've been growing for a about 4 years and I'm still in soil. I'm not telling you what to do, you could get lucky and grow some dank in aero but you chances are more likely that things could go bad. Soil is much more forgiving, when you mess up in hydro its goes bad in a hurry.

The only reason I chose Aero is because I have a buddy who has done it this way for 10 years and is going to be in the room just as much as I am. He convinced me its the work smarter not harder approach.

Side note. What would be the start up costs for soil? I'm looking at about $1,100 for everything I need in the Aero. seeds included.

I like your thinkin lol. How long would it take from seed to having clones ready to go into the aeroponic system

My friend can get roots in a week(aero). I clone directly into promix(dirt) it take me 10-14 days. I have great success cloning I'd say mine root 98-100% of the time

Honestly I have 4 auto's and 1 photo all fem'd(I hope) I hope you have a female photo in store to clone? because I really don't know if you can do that with autoflowers.

Yeah no I was going to do something similar but have 6 autos just so I can yield something sooner than later. and 1 photo to clone during that time.

If you're buddy is there to guide you along the way then go for it. I mix roots organic soil and pro mix its about $25-30 bucks per each which is about 20.8 gallons. Less for the roots organic probably about 15 gals. then you just need nutes and pots. I have 4 plants in 7 gal smart pots. I have a 5x5 tent with 1000w/8in dominator xxl hood and hope to pull close to 2lbs from this run, fingers crossed. I grew some beastly plants this run.

I gotta make a decision quick! Ordering the stuff before the end of the month lol. If soil is around the same price I may be interested

Soil is much cheaper than a aero system, no question about it... I don't want you to make a change because of what was said though. You have the rest of the month, do some more research, ask some more ?s and make a decision in a week. A lot of people on this board will help you out. They did for me.

thank you sir! My next question is probably going to sound stupid lol

So I buy feminized seeds. Do the paper towel trick to germinate. Insert into rockwool. Lets roots grow. Where do I put the Rockwool after? Bury it in Hydroton and put it in a net pot?

Keep them in the rockwool and just move them into hydroton when you have roots poppin through, I believe. Not a hydro guy.
