well its a 21 gal storage container from homedepot for 5$.. i got 3.75 net pots (same as stealth hydro sys, which i am also using to start these guys, then transfering..) i am using a lot of bubbles... 4 airstones for each system with 2 pumps and 3 pumps on the Stealth hydro bubbleponics to start. i use 6 gal in my stealth hydro system and 12gal in my homebuilt

yah man. i just use 60gal walmart air pumps (25$ each) in my homemade ones. no water pumps because the only one that needs it is the stealth hydro system because its necessary for starting clone with feeder tubes.. I transfer once they dont need feeder tubes.

Looking good C5! Leaves are shiny so they are loving life right now. Never tried perpetual this way but cloning may be a little tricky as they really don't have a veg cycle. Doable but it may take a while for them to root as they have to return to veg before they will push out roots on the clones.

very true man. thx for stopping bye. I have noticed that one clone rooted in 5 days and is almost ready to be transferred to the 300ppm grow nutes tank, while 2 took 8 days, and one just sprouted out of the net yesterday. leaving 1 left in my sprouting system. hope to restart it soon, i got clones waiting. i do have one one spot open but i'm just gonna wait til i move them all too the 300ppm grow nutes

Did you clone from another grow? Just having a hard time wrapping my head around cloning a plant out of that 12/12 room. By the time they are big enough to clone they will have been in 12/12 for some time. Could be that I'm just too stoned to understand much of anything now.

I did and continue to have a perpetual grow but I chop clones off my plants before I send them to 12/12 but I've got a seperate veg area (next to me in the "office"). If my cloning doesn't work I always have seeds I can start about 4 weeks out from harvest of the 12/12 batch. My strain takes 8 weeks. I get a 5 week veg that way ( 4 weeks plus a week to harvest and clean the 12/12/ room).

they are clones off my first bubbleponics grow... these will act just like 12/12 from seed... 12/12 from seed plants can grow 5 ft. tall with the right light... they are growing around an inch a day once they root so i dont notice any slower growth though.. but these are growing up instead of out, you could say... so yah the total growth is down but im sure that will be made up by bud density, or so i hope

They do keep looking for the light during lights out don't they! LOL! Think that's why mine take off when I first switch to 12/12 from a 5 week veg. Do you have the lights extra close for a 12/12 from seed/clone grow? They should all be the same height roughly so canopy management should be easier.

Very nice!! I am looking to do a three week perpetual harvest as well. You should check out Stinkbuddies.com. If you like to build things, he has full plans for aero cloner, veg, and flower units, in the downloads section. That is what I am experimenting with now. Good luck to you with the clones!

I am envious of those that can build! Brother is a mechanic and he got all and I mean all the building stuff genes!

I did get all the growing stuff genes though so I think it's a good trade. If he lived closer we would be unstoppable! LOL
