Hydro is the way to go for indoor growing, so simple and clean, and I'm betting your yield noticeably increases. I hear you about sitting in the grow room in the winter. I sometimes pull in a folding chair with some headphones and just sit under the HPS with the girls for a while. It is a nice sun substitute in the dead of winter...

I put a bright full spectrum grow light for my lime tree in my kitchen window. The light it making me feel better already. By end of December I'd usually be spending more and more time in my grow. I'm glad we have RIU

This is going to be a very tough time, from now until 12/21 when our days will reach their shortest, Covid and Flu ravaging the country and we are denied social interaction on risk of death.

My son came over for the first time in weeks. I insisted that we both wear masks and sit across the room from each other with a deluxe HEPA filter on high between us, and my ozone machine on low. He did not like this set up, fuck you, too bad. It's either this, or no visit. He knows I've had it twice, and I can't afford to get it again. We'll get used to it, it is much better than no visits...

Grandkids came here to go out trick or treating last night. I got a couple pics but no hugs. They did a bee line to the bathroom when they came back but it was a dash and go. Blew some kisses and waved goodbye.

Nice cloner. What has your water temp been in the cloner? The temp factor is 90+% of your success while aero cloning...

How important is the DipNGrow? I have played with saving it and using it a week or 2 after I mixed it, and it still worked...Like if a top gets broken off, instead of throwing it out, dip it and clone it.

My res is filling right now...vape break. I'll get a few pics.

The tent in which a keep my moms has a 250w hps. I've been using Eye Hortilux bulbs in it for the last decade, but it has been impossible to find 250w bulbs from either that brand or my preferred brand, Digilux. I ordered the Hortilux 250w bulbs from Amazon twice (at like $90 a pop!), just to have the seller cancel the order because they could not find any stock. So, I gave up and ordered several regular, non grow bulbs from 1000bulbs.com for $10 a piece including tax and shipping. The moms have been loving it. I think regular spectrum bulbs don't make that much difference with vegging plants, as I know they do for flowering plants. I'm set for mom bulbs for the next decade or so...

The Dip-n-grow brings in a much thicker root mass with faster rooting. You will still get roots without it, but the root mass will be significantly thinner and take longer ime. Looking forward to pics...

Hydro does have advantages for sure. What type do you like?

Technically, coco is hydro because the medium is inert. I've never ran DWC but I've got the gear to run a couple of buckets and all the measuring tools to make sure everything is kosher. (Not that I always use them :dunce:)

I'll go check... :dunce:
@tyler.durden - cloner temp Is 68F (had to wait for it to settle)

I love F&D because it is so low maintanence and simple. If power ever goes out, no real problem. I started growing with DWC, and you have to watch it like a hawk. While the yields were about 10-15% more in DWC, so much can go wrong so quickly, and I needed security over the small yield gains as I started to grow for a living. I do a mix of 25% perlite and 75% vermiculite over a thin layer of rockwool cubes to keep the rocks from falling out. Best mix I've found so far with the best yields...

Awesome, glad it is working for you. My results with clonex were okay, the Dip-n-Grow has been better for me. You could probably use anything with great results, you've got like a magical +5 green thumb ;)

Thanks....It's just what I had on hand from when I cloned in rockwool. I had a full gallon so I thought i would give it a try. I would have bought Dip-n-Grow on you're advice, but I already had this, and it seems to be working. I should try Dip-n-grow....

I've been using 1000w Ushio bulbs in my flower room and haven't noticed any change.

68f is a great cloner temp, not sure what's going wrong. How did you take your cuttings, were they in veg? How long have they been in the cloner? More details may help the diagnosis...
Click to expand...
I took the cuttings in late flower. :dunce:

Well actually I took another round of cuttings earlier but that didn't go well and they are deceased. (Different method, and it was my fault.)

They've been in the cloner a couple of weeks. I add more pool shock solution every couple of days and changed the res once after one week.
