ive been setting up a wash rack for RW, the basis is you soak RW to set the internal ph of the medium to 5.5 but this dont wash out
all the grime and particals that is in RW and from all the RW ive soak I see no reason to even soak it!

so I got a rack and put a 5 gal bucket of ph 5.5 water in it and bellow is another 5 gal bucket with a dwc insert the basket type,
theres a pump in the upper bucket feeding a line down to the lower one. I fill the basket with RW and blast it with the above water.
the lower bucket drains to a floor drain.

this all seems complicated but once setup there 0 soaking just wash then use :)

I've gone as lazy as dumping 6 gal of ph 5.0 water directly into the bag.... then I left it for 20 mins, drained it and used it. Worked out fine in my flood tables mixed with hydroton.

Hurry up and grow damn you! I know once they start going it will be fast as hell. I think the next set of clones are doing pretty well so far too. Hoping to have them up and running in the next week or so.

got a recent pic and what is your method for taking clones
Click to expand...

Whatever works at the current time. This last time I got most of my clones through aero cloning. Right now I have some in rapid rooters. I have actually used rapid rooters until I saw roots, and then just took them out and put them in the aero cloner. I don't have any pics right now, because it doesn't look like anything has happened since trasplanting. I hope to see some noticeable growth by Saturday.

I really love the root riot cubes. They aren't the fastest, but they are by far the easiest maintenance wise, and the cubes help protect those delicate lil roots during transplant into their final medium. 2 weeks, 99% success rate, can't ask for much more.

How dry do you let them get? I try to keep them in the "damp" range, but think maybe they should be even dryer. Like if they aren't wilting they're probably ok?

Damp is definitely the way to go, you dont want to let them get dry. To form new roots the seed/clone wants water and nothing else really. I love root riot cubes you just pour water in the tray pop the seeds/clones in the plugs wait a week and boom little babies ready to go.

Yeah, u just don't wanna see that light brown color when they start geting a little 'crusty' that's too dry. U also don't want them dripping wet. A happy medium makes a happy clone lol

dripping wet, or you don't want to be able to squeeze water out? kinda tough maintaining 40 clones in that little tray.

U shouldn't be able to squeeze a bunch of water out. if a few drops come out thats about right. Don't squeeze them with clones in them obviously, u'll damage the tender starting roots.

Sounds pretty much how I've been trying to keep them. I'm also starting to see some new growth I believe on my cuttings. Couple of the clones look a little sad, but they'll pull through ok. I'll take some pics in the next few days... Probably Saturday. I was planning on vegging until the end of Nov, but I'm gonna have to monitor how quick they grow. Oh, and I love dyna nutes. Set it, and forget it. Pretty much anyhow.

My moms are going to be massive by the time I take my next cuttings. I might have to get another pair of 600s... Only problem is I don't really have space in the room I have running right now...

Oh, and they are going to start growing like crazy in the next few days. I can see new growth from the time I got home from work like 4 hours ago. I can't believe how much easier hydro is than soil.
