SOG growers wanted !!!

[trouble9039]

Things are good. Today is day 4 and I don't even have any nubbins yet. Might be the cloner res is a bit too cold. I have my heat mat under it and the temps are stable at 79.5*. pH is 5.5. They look good on top, just not poppin roots yet. No big deal. I have time. Another problem might be the quality of the cuts I used. Had to get 21 cuts from one very bushy mother. Some of them will become mothers so that wont happen again. Patience is a virtue right. I will just keep on keepin on.

Don't give up on them! It may take alittle longer to pop, Do they look soft under the lid or any discoloration? Keep on ur ph and mist them down.. I have faith in you!

Not givin up! They look very healthy underneath. Nice and green and firm. I tried to find an aquarium heater at wal-mart but they all only go to 78* anyway.

 

[trouble9039]

I don't use A heater and never have. My res stays perfect so I guess I am pretty lucky

Ok I have a question I've searched around and can't find my answer. I'm currently converting to sog and I want to grow with hydroton in net pots. But I want to know what happens to the roots when they grow out of the net pot. Are they exposed to light. Also are net pots better or the buckets with mesh bottom? Any info on this would help. Thanks

 

[dirtysteve]

Mag,
If you are doing flood and drain you don't want to use net pots. I found the 5.5" square nursery pots work best. They have 8 holes in the bottom and flood nicely with hydroton. Check these out http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemdesc.asp?ic=COGCS05S&eq=&Tp=
A little bit of the roots will grow out the bottoms but they will be "air pruned" and won't hurt your plants.

Ok thank you steve. That's the info I was looking for the guy at the hydro store confused me cus I see eeryone on here with just hydroton and nothing covering roots. So would the round ones also work

 

[sparkafire]

Just checking in! Good to see you guys have kept the thread alive. Great job!!

 

[grandpabear3]

sup nancy?

 

[dirtysteve]

Yeah the round ones work too but it is easier to pack em in with the square ones. Square table, square pots. Ya know?

 

[sparkafire]

sup nancy?

NANCY? You're calling me Nancy? I see your all high and mighty now with your "ELITE" status. "Respect my authoriti" "I am weed baron" "my mom is the best!" "I cant get my clones to root" and my personal favorite "I BURNED MY GROW DOWN!"

Lets go back and re live these moments bugs for all the others that really don't know the true bugs and have a laugh shall we?

I am "WEED BARON"

Remember that time you wanted to try LEDs?

Your "WEED BARON" days

Your cloning mishaps.

You looking for clones.

Still looking

I think you took a break looking in this one.

Nope still no luck

When you burned your grow down

When you introduced me to your mom.

Then your mom and I went out.

She liked it rough!

When you cried about the momma jokes and i got banned for a week.

So there you have it folks a history of BUGS and "NANCY" I hope you enjoyed this trip back in time.

I love you Bugs LMAO!!!!!

Damn man, i thought I would get a little bit more of a reaction from you. Your a buzz kill.

 

[magowner]

Thanks steve I went and got some 5.5 inch square ones so we will see how it goes.


Damn that she likes it rough one is brutal

 

[dirtysteve]

Keep us posted Mag! most of us here like to see whats happening and inject our two cents. i guarantee if you have a question that pertains to this topic, this is the place to be

 

[magowner]

Yes I will my clones are on day 11 on the cloner I built so they are going in the flood soon

 

[trouble9039]

What's goingon everyone?

 

[GypsyBush]

Ha!!!

 

[dirtysteve]

Well today marks one week in the PT Cloner and still no root action. Nothing. Not even nubbins. The stems still look green and healthy. The leaves are curling slightly, but nothing severe. I hope it is weather issues. Might need to get the temps up slightly. Still running 79.5* in the res. pH 5.6 I added a 1/2 tsp of rooting powder to the res. Maybe that will help a little.

Is this a problem? Haven't even flipped the switch to 12/12 yet (will do in about five days), and already roots are vigorously growing out the bottom of my 2 gallon pots filled with hydroton. The plants all seem very healthy and the roots are healthy as well, and don't seem to mind the light one bit - do any of you consider this a problem, and if so, why?

Thanks for your time.
