Dont think you can get hortilux bulbs here can you?

I use dual spec grolux 600w

 

[Londoner]

im gonna get me one of those honey b carry on's the honey looks amazing

well ive got a bottle of clonex gel and some plastic cups but i wouldnt go so far as to call it a kit.... hahah do you mean i need a propagator?

i was thinking about getting one this week as their cheap as chips. i gather cloning is fairly easy with rockwool but i was going to just use rooting and cutting soil from BnQ and the clonex and just whack them under the cfl?! or should i get a propagator?

Yea youl need some sorta propagator mate, as you say theyre cheap as anything, i root cuts in either root riot cubes or jiffy pellets, i cant be arsed with rockwool, PH'ing n all that crap lol

[Don Gin and Ton]

got the fan/filter up and running, works a treat, sounds like a chopper in the spare room but it doesnt smell like a coffee shop so am happy... the bluemoonshine bean has sprouted and the two hindu kush but nothing of the kali mist or the cinderella

[Don Gin and Ton]

So the bloke at the ebay shop i bought the light from has been off sick for a week and has a 90 order backlog before he even packs my order FFS so tonight i will be installing the ghetto light for the meantime.

 

[Londoner]

I know i know i shouldnt have especially grow stuff, but it was a good deal... just means the clones im taking from the tops will be a bit further on so i guess its not that bad. the ebay shop says 48hrs parcelforce i hope i get some freebies....

worse still i went home with the intention of getting stuck in to knocking up some clones to discover the girls all droopy n sad looking. so i watered them n n they have picked up a bit this morning, thing is some of the leaves have this weird curling going on but only say 2-3 out of 5-7 of the leaves on one fan (multiple plants tho)?! any ideas/ advice?

oh and i put the moonshine and hindu kush beans into peat pots n under the enviro

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

clones taken from the lower branches, fingers crossed (my first attempt at cloning)

 

[Londoner]

Good for you, jump on the cloning train mate, iv just done my 25 clones for the SOG, been cloning for a while but iv never flowered a grow entirely of clones before.

I see your using root riots, cant go wrong with them, iv never had a clone fail in them yet did you dip the cut in clonex too?

Your leaf curling up looks a little like a bit of heatstress to me, but it dont look too bad so dont sweat about it.

alright mate?! yeah i saw you had plenty clones kickin off, best of british for your SOG grow! i opted for taking the smaller shoots from lower down the plant instead of the tops, and again takin your advice opted for root riot cubes i did indeed dip all the clones with clonex (and then dropped a couple of drips down each stem just for shits n giggles)

as for the leaves curling i guess it'll figure itself out, i didnt think i could heat stress them with an envirolight?! unless ive had it too close i guess...

FUCKINWOOPWOOOP my boss has just walked in carrying a parcel which looks suspiciously like a 600w setup!!! about f@ckin time!!!

 

[Londoner]

WHOOP DE FUCKIN WHOOPWHOOP indeed, about bloody time too, that ebay seller must have pulled his finger outta his arse

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

yeah guess me ringing him up and sayin i was desperate dan for it worked. nee freebies mind lol

 

[Londoner]

Freebies are a rare thing these days mate

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

yeah i guess so, you generally have to complain to get freebies in this day and age

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

you 'working' from home today?!? hahaha

 

[Londoner]

Nope not at work at the mo, cant do much til friday when the shits delivered lol

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

so the 600 is up n running and my mother/clone cupboard is sorted too

yesterday when i took the cuttings i didnt have a spray bottle so i just chucked some water in the lid n today the snippets are looking a bit droopy so i improvised and whipped the sprayer out of some disinfectant ran some fairy washing up liquid through it then plenty of water (hope to god i got all the disinfectant out or thats the cuttings donald ducked...) gave them a good spray n hope theyve picked up by time i get home. fingers crossed...
