Hey, Plants look sweet. Here's a list:
Walmart- The square plastic 1 gal containers. They come 2 in a pack $1.98. One for the bottom and one to cut down for the top. I like these since they are taller than most and helps keep the stalks out of the water. I can post more pics later if you like.
Air pump, 30-60 gal duel outlet made by Aqua Culture, $9.98 (best price I have seen for one that size) comes with the 2 checkvalves, make sure you use them.
Air tubing, 2-3 bucks. I like the soft blue stuff, easier to work with.
Hydro store: Net pot about 4". Need to do some cutting on it to help the drops hit the stalks. If you don't have a hydro store near you could do something different if you need to. I like to have something holding the stalks to keep them apart so they don't curl and keeps the roots apart when they get started. You should be able to see it in the pic. Once they get started they grow pretty quick.
The piece you see in the net pot is a piece of neoprene I got at a fabric store. I think it was 5-6 bucks for a yard. I use it for other stuff also but that yard goes a long way. But again you could use something different if you want or need to.
Pet Store: Air stone, I have one also that is about 3 1/2- 4 inch round that works good. You might find one at walmart or maybe one of the 4" long one's would work good to. I like to have one as big as I can fit for as much bubbles as I can get. (more bubbles more drops to spray). Any questions just let me know. Have fun and be ready to have more clones than you know what to do with. Or I should say have room for. I know what I would do with them if I hade the room. With one good mother I can make at least 6 clones about every two weeks. It's a small plant. When my clones have rooted my mom is ready to give me more.

damn hashlover thanks for the list!! so whats the net pot? even after i get all this stuff i will have no idea how to set it up. i really apreciate all the info. if and when i make this u will be hearing from me. my mother plant is huge. i think im gonna do one more trial of cube clones, all cut off one side of the mother plant. then im gonna bend her over on that side, so i can try to bush her the fuck out. then she'll be easier to flower later on.

This is a net pot, used for hydro. You see how I cut a lot away to open it up so the droplets can get to the stems but left enough to keep the stems apart. After they start to root I move them to the smaller ones to keep them apart so the roots don't get tangled together. When your success is 100% you need it. IMO don't bother with the cubes and get one of these together if you can. You'll be much happier. Not only do they root faster, once they do the roots grow faster and can be planted sooner. Also is a good intro into hydro. If you have questions just let me know I'll be glad to help.

thanks for the flicks hash lover!!! and thanks for the list. it might have to wait a little, but once i get everything together i'll let you know so i can assemble it. i just took 16 clones off my mom plant today, doing a side-by-side test. im gonna start a thread on it. testing cubes vs pellets and gel vs liquid rooting hormone. if i can't get good results with either of these ways then i'm gonna try yours.

heres a couple flix











the three younger flowering ones

Sounds like fun. I don't use any rooting stuff in my cloner. But I do use a secret magical mix in the water. Sorry but if I told you what it was I would have to kill you haha. Be sure to post me the link to the thread if you do it.

so its good that the leaves are yellowing and stuff right? i seriously have no idea what i should be doing. if i should be using MORE nutes or be using LESS nutes. i have no idea when i should begin flushing. or how much longer till first chop. so right now ive been using half strength flowering nutes, almost full strength gravity, and molasses the last three waterings i believe. so after four in a row i can stop using the gravity i think and do a full dose of nutes then flush?
