I have had a cupple of long days I am tired....I got things cleaned up, replaced all my air hose and nute hose...and finnally got to do something with my clones...some of them were not happy but I got six good ones out of it.....You can see in the pic's how the roots are hanging down..so I got a pretty good root ball before I had to cut them...

I use a bushell basket to wash the hydroton work pretty good and it holds just enough to do 6 , 10" net pots....

I almost had to cut the lid off my cloner bucket because the clone was to big to go out the hole....I had to squeeze the root crown and jam it through the hole....I just got it to go through....hope I didn't hurt it.......nitro...

Very impressive. Ive always been too cheap to buy or even considering buying one of those tents. Are they really the creme de-la creme?! Id had thoughts of building my own room via 2x4, OSB board, and things of that such.

Hey Vumar....

I am shure you could build a nice room alot cheaper then what I paid for my tent....for me it was just real easy to set up...and I like how I can run the water hose in the tent and nothing leaks out....I spray a bunch of water in the tent with a little bleach , then I use my sump pump to pump it out, and mop up the rest.......It would probably contain up to 200 gallons before it leaked out....I dumped a half of barrell of nutes on accident once and it was no big deal to clean it up, used my shop vac....anyway there is some bonus'es.....but it cost alot of money....2200.00 us.....and that was after the discount.....So you could build a nice room cheaper..........nitro.....

It has been a bummpy road for my clones.....They looked like they were doing good for a cupple days...but I noticed on the second day the roots were not happy.. they were not growing...After the first week still no new roots...I knew then that we had problems....I pulled one up out of the hydroton and the roots looked like they were going to die...No new growth....nothing was growing out of the baskets....The leaves on the plants were getting all wrinkled and ugly...some leaves were drying up....

The good news is I think I saved them...So after the first week I made up some H202 at 20ml per gallon and flush the roots for three hours...I was able to find some Xtreem tea..I added 2 cups in each basket with just fresh water and ran that for a cupple days..then I ran clonex baby food with some benny's... Actinovate... for a week and a half until I could see new roots starting to come out of the baskets...everyday I had to adjust my PH...It would start at 5.5 and after one day it would be 6.4-6.7.....and there was lots of crap in the bottom of my buckets that I cleaned out every cupple days...

Then in week 3 thing's started getting better the roots were starting to hang down in the nutes and we started to get some new growth on top...

I switched back to GH 3 part and things are looking good now the top growth is noticeably happy now...one thing I noticed is my baskets are filling up with new root growth before they want to go down into the bucket we have a major amount of root growth in the basket and not alot of roots down in the bucket yet....but there will be soon....my PH has stablized in the 5.8 to 6.1 for three days now...

This all put me behind schedule about 3 weeks... but atleast there is hope now......here's some pic's............nitro......

Hey MJ.....

I am finding out that Things don't always go as planned....When I cut the roots off of my clones to get them out of my clone buckets I noticed that my pumps where getting cloged up with roots and they weren't pumping good...The roots that were hanging down in the clone buckets weren't as happy as the roots that were down in the water and I cut that part off to get them apart...so what was left ended up dieing...and I had to grow all new roots....

Hopefully things go smooth now......nitro.....
