Hey fellas, question. Once my clones start showing roots do you wait till the roots get long before putting them into the flower room? Attempting perpetual. Its been about 9 days and i have roots showing, just barely coming out the rockwool. Should i wait another few days?

I dont think there is anything wrong with putting them in once you see roots. It might take a little longer for them to get going so it may off your schedule a bit. I clone the same day or a couple days after my harvest/cycle day. My stuff seems to reliably root in 7-10 days, the full 2 weeks makes them healthy and hungry when I cycle them in, but I prefer the 10 day timeframe better if I can manage it in my schedule.

Yeah i just went down and checked i got really decent root growth showing on 18 out of 28. I needed at least 16 to fill the quarter area of the flowering room. I've got a 4x4 flower tray under a 1000HPS. This will be my first cycle. I will do another batch of clones this weekend as well so that in two weeks i can add another 16. Hoping to fill that tray with 64 plants. Using 6x6x7 pots and putting 4 per square foot, gonna be stuffed in there but i'm hoping it works out good.

Bugs was right, Im a definate swallower, nice try tho... Lets just kiss and make up.. Come on, while I got a cheek out, who's first?kiss-ass
Sparky, U got Super Skunk! Nice, I got a cross between Super Skunk and Chemdog going right now, called Super Snowdog. One of the best buds I've ever smoked, but damn does it stink. I cant even open the jar indoors if I will have company within an hour.
Anyways...
I got curious and checked some random clones and nearly every one I pulled has root bumps and 10% have tiny tap roots about 1/4 inch in length, the only ones that don't have much going on are from my best BB and one Chemdog plant because it was positioned too far outside on the tray where the temps are too cool
. For my first big batch of clones ever taken I am satisfied, but I will make a few changes for the next batch.

This will be interesting. I have 2 4x4 per 1000watts (I know thats a stretch, but we'll see how much of one), and u have one. I wonder what the ratio will be (grams : watts)
4 Plants per square is very tight bro! I'm running 40 in a 4x4, which is 2.5 and I thought that was tight. U will probably need a sulfer burner at that rate. Very glad to see u got ur clones going great this round! Great job! It looks like we are running side by side with our grows. Do u have anything flowering yet or will this be ur first round? Its my first...

Yeah its my first batch that i'm dropping into my flowering room. I'm taking Bugs recommendation for the 4 per square foot. He said he was doing it fine so i figure why not. And the sulfur burner is for CO2 right? I've got a CO2 tank i'm gonna be running. I'll post a photo of my flowering setup a little later.

oh btw...your all right about the roots. ( i can feel sparky coming already) as soon as you see them they can go. BUT they will absolutely be tiny, like gypsybush's if you let those babies get profuse before you put them in and your medium allows you to flood 2-5 times per lights on then watch that tiny fucker get fat like a soda can and shoot for the sky...stretch a little then fill the fuck in from week 4 on. it's fuckin sog madness baby. in this fashion you can/will get yields nearing the likes of some dwc set ups. ive done both and love ebb-n-flow but dwc is fuckin scary. in a good way.
just thought i'd spread a lil love this morning. hope i helped someone. ok spark....bring it bitch

You guys have me worried about mildew. I don't know that I will have room to fit anything into my cabinet, however my cabinet has pretty good ventilation and I have a small weak fan blowing through the forest as is.
What is the danger zone for humidity?

as long as you have constant air movement you'll never have a problem. mine can get up to 70% before the plants start showin their asses
.........i'm not sure why but....

Ah good to hear, my fans are somewhat overkill for my cabinets but it was a newbie mistake gone good because it is gonna be crowded in there and it forces air across it all with an additional fan giving some help. Hopefully will be okay. Any pics to show what it would look like? I mean considering the plants are frosty to begin with.
