oh, and i put some extra holes in my domes and clone cups to reduce moisture a little. right now it is no worry because i have plenty of stock to take clones from right now. but i would like to put some clones in flower soon!!

i will try daniels idea of not misting the plants, and I will also reduce my misting to once a day. i have a couple of fresh clones i just took Tuesday or Wednesday. still gotta get pics of the light shade for ya!

I guess it's a matter of troubleshooting. It's exactly like I have to do at work when troubleshooting computers and networks:
  • Only make multiple changes on things where the result is predictable.
  • Only make single changes where those changes are unpredictable. This way you have a predictable "rollback" point in case that change gives negative results.
  • When everything is totally falling apart, take everything away except the bare essentials and a known predictable state, then start adding back changes one by one again.

Too often I cheat when troubleshooting things and try too many things at once and get "burned". Suffering through a few major rollbacks finally gets you to wake up and slow down! :wall: :lol:

So I think you are moving in the right direction in removing moisture but be careful and not go too fast in the process! Unless the patient is coding on the table, or you realize you made a drastic mistake, only make 25%-50% changes. Even though they look over-watered, you might remove 75% of the moisture when it may only take a 10% reduction to get them to a happy place.

great points!!! i even changed my earlier decision before reading this. i decided for clones under 7 days I would mist them in the mornings and then mist the domes once or twice through the day. for ones over 7 days I will let them go a little longer. maybe try to watch them and go 1 mist a day and no more, or even every other as I get closer to the 14 day mark. i know 14 days is the time most successful cloners will say it takes before the plants start to grow again.

a fellow IT guy huh Gamber? i have a love hate relationship with my job. im a network admin with 4 warehouses to manage in a 5 square mile range. started 5 years ago with 2 people and one warehouse, and now its just me and corporate IT is worthless to me outside of adding more workload. maybe i'll come to cali and work for you :lol:

Well I just became self-employed (part of my whole disappearing act a bit ago). Same deal, I was the only IT guy and my brand new boss of 4 months was in corporate HQ in another state. I was there 22 years from it's start up, designed all systems, databases and applications from the ground up. All apps (original) are on their 3rd interface character based in 1989 to 32-bit in 1998 to web based in 2009. That's the testament to a well designed system!! :)

As it turns out, my boss was just a kid trying to make a name for himself and who thought his shit stank better. We never saw eye-to-eye and one day in October I was escorted from the building with my box of Awards, Certificates of Achievement, family pics and a few mementos.

I've got some things brewing not only locally but I have a couple of on-line proposals which were accepted. :)

So to be honest, my ex-boss did me the best favor anyone could do! Free me from my 70 hour/week enslavement!! It's been a life changing experience for sure!

heres some pics to describe how I prevent the light from exiting the vent, i think it is almost impossible without some length of flex hose, or something more than you could make at home! but this keeps it pretty light tight. i pulled the black vent off a ancient PBX that was on the wall in a warehouse. the tight slits block light well

yeah, i tried to block it all off with a piece of plywood but it dumped exhaust right in front of the intake and f'ed everything up placed against the wall. maybe NC will become legal soon :bigjoint: i expect it will be a few more years though.
