Hi Bob. A couple of questions. What's the optimum water temp? Is it water only? Do you give the clones light also? Did you make your neprene inserts?
I'm going to try it with some clippings from my current grow (4 weeks flower) to see how it goes before I rely on it for my AK-47 clones.
Thanks!
I keep mine at 78 with a little cheapo Walmart heater; I use low strength nutes (start at EC 1.0, get it up to about 1.5ish within a week); yes, I've vegged them under the same 400HPS that my other plants are under, although I'm currently building a two level veg tent, with my mamas and clones on the bottom under fluoros and my vegging clones up top under my 400; and no, I bought the inserts ($.50 a piece), but you can certainly make your own (I'm lazy and don't really care about money).
Lemme know if you've got any other questions, and take a look at my journal in a couple of days (camera is at buddy's house) - building a three bucket interconnected system for 75 clones at a time.

I ordered my beans from The Attitude the night of Friday November 27th. I received an email on Monday the 30th that the package had been shipped. Checked my mail this afternoon and look what I found!
The seeds all appear in excellent condition. And the coffee mug is pretty cool. They took 5 business days to the States.
So, do I start with the AK-47 or the White Russian?
This will be my first attempt with non-feminized seeds from an "elite" seedbank and I'm fired up!

Thanks for the help! I'm heading to Lowes and then the grow shop to start building it.
I'm already subscribed to your thread. I'm just the quiet type.....
+ Rep.
No problem my friend; if you like pics, post #47 in my journal walks you through what I did.
Also, try to get a good, high-quality airstone at the dro store - they're about $5 for the "micro pore" stones, but they are well, well worth it.
Takes about 10-15 minutes from start to finish of building.
Good luck buddy.

I don't know if I'll be able to find the "Bad Ass" black covers, but I will look for the strongest ones available. What cfm does the air pump put out?
Thanks again!
Not sure what the air pump puts out, but it's rated for 20-60 gallon fish tanks (got it from Walmart).
That one is about $10, but for a couple of dollars more, you can get the 100 gallon fish tank one, which would really kick some ass (I'm going to use two pumps per bucket in my new setup, although one pump per bucket worked fine as well - I just have some extra pumps and airstones so I figure I'll put them to work).

Variety is the fruit of a pothead.
Then you can start 5 more later and find even more potential phenos!

Always a schedule I assume? As soon as you harvest the AK your gonna be putting the White Russian fledglings under the big light.
I'm still pumped about seeing this harvest though. Using LST with 4 plants looks to promise for some very nice yields.

So approximately 3 weeks before the room is ready, you hydrate them and shoot the starter pistol? Was this timed to the day or did you just buy beans a month out and pop em when you got em? (Yes, I'm taking notes LOL)
Are you doing a seperate Journal for their adventures?

Actually, this is the first grow I will have done with a dedicated vegging tent. It normally takes about two weeks to get the seedlings where they can take full light. I like to see three full leaf sets.... For this grow, I will be able to put them under the T-5 light a little earlier with only the 4 bulbs burning.Always a schedule I assume?

I'm starting 6 seeds because I can get six plants in my table using my larger 8" pots. This won't be a production grow.... I plan on taking clones of each plant, and keeping a mother of the best female.
So, hopefully the AK-48 produces enough to me and mama smoking through a full cycle.

Unless I've read it on RIU, everything I do is a Wild Ass Guess.....
The veg tent will allow me to be a little less precise on timing, and will give me extra time between grows to give the tents a good cleaning. Also, it gives me time to tweak the system and test it. (I know you can appreciate that!)
I expect these seeds will be ready for the HPS in about 6 weeks...
I'm taking notes and pictures, but I won't post a journal until I'm sure I have a viable grow.
It's time to move the seeds from their 12 hour soak to the jiffy plugs....
Wish me luck!

That' right you've got that veg tent, that'll definitely help out when your caught between grows waiting for one to finish and the other is picking up speed.
White Russian is a mostly indica hybrid correct? I'm too lazy to Google it right now.
Just a waiting game now.
