Between 8 - 10 wks, I just go by the "look" of the plant...I'd say closer to 10 though
Dosnt look like the cup comp did very well for ya....I had hope.....lol

It was more method than genetics I think. That sip design didn't work to well. I kind of use those comps as a chance to experiment with different methods. If I ran a coco mix I'd probably do better . Oh well. Honestly I don't care if I win. I got 3rd place last comp. I didn't even get my prize from a51 because Jeff/ eraser head is a douche bag. The prizes now are not as good as they used be . Inda gro isn't it anymore.

="ttystikk, post: 12658163, member: 324297"]Depressingly gorgeous... ..depressing because I'm not doing a very good job of replicating your success.

My last round was one for 30.

What's your water temp in the cloner?
You probably need to bleach the fuck out of it and buy new collars. Wouldnt you agree bob?

@BobBitchen You got a fairy in the air bubby. @supchaka has a couple srs x gg4 in there if he wants them.

Did the bleach thing, rinsed and reset it-full of GG4 clones, as it happens, lol!

My water temps ran to 80F, I'm putting liter soda bottles of ice in there to being the temp down. Also, fresh Clonex solution for the water and a new Clonex product for foliar application on the cuttings and on the mom a few days before taking them.

I'm on a mission.

I hear that 71 is the ideal. That's just what I said it was; hearsay. Until I start actually being successful I won't be giving any advice, lol
FYI. I have a big 27gl tub as a cloner. Filled to level it's about 15gl. I throw A cap or two of bleach in mine and have great results. Once they start throwing roots I add a bit of nutes. I also clean all parts w bleached water in-between runs.

I haven't used Clonex in a long time, and only when I use rapid rooters or the like.

What temperature did you set it at?
I changed up my DIY cloner for one of those King cloner's Bob has a couple of months ago and still dialing it in. It's less water in the res and I've still been hitting 90%+ but taking a hell of a lot longer since the switch. I have a probe and have found 70-75F is getting better/faster results now. Just took some out at 2 weeks but the last batch with cooler water (65-70F) took 3 weeks and about 60% success. I didn't put any sort of heater in but I took it off the cement floor and put it on a piece of 1 1/2" styrofoam to bring the temps up a bit.
