Very Nice work 4tatude. Thanx for all your help and advice I think I made it through with my scare with root aphids. For the most part its still on course with your grow. But I'm feeding on the heavier side with 1100ppms on the heavy side. Going to peak around 1200-1300 then back down 200ppms every week til harvest. Do you have a dimmer on your ballast?

i now have 100% sucess with cloning, even cuttings taken in flower...
my secret?
fuck if i know...
i neglect them and never change the water lol
i checked ph and adjusted 2 times then said hell if they want to live they will grow roots without me creating a perfect environment.
i have not changed water, added anything to res, not even checked the ph in 3 weeks. im on my 2nd batch of clones and no prpblems. beginners luck i guess...

G37 so glad to hear those fuckers didnt kill everything in sight. did you use that recipe i sent ya or what did you do? im scared to death of bugs... ive so many plants around the house i just know its a matter of time till i have a battle on my hands. i found some white flies on some peppers i had overwintered the other day but eradicated them with some "concern" made by necesary organics. ive been spraying my vegie seedlings but had not did any maintenance to the inside plants, i dont know how they started but i soaked their ass and all the sourounding plants for insurance even though i didnt see any others.
ive also koten past my clawing problem and goten my ppms back into the 1000 range also, they are loving it!!! guess i kinda leaned them out a little with all the discovery i had to do to eleminate all the possabilities of why they were clawing. glad your back on track :)

would be easy as pie to cut and put some of that reflective coated insulation on top where its recessed and set your net pots through. could wrap the tank also and would keep out light and help keep stable temps. small pump and couple sprayers and your in business.
 
pullin some sereious hours at work may be a couple days before im back but got some exciting sh*t about to happen

Ahh ic. I was asking because since I have a dimmer on my ballast the guy at the hydro shop told me to start dimming my lights down to 75% my 2nd to last week and then finish off at 50% a week before harvest

:leaf:Gotcha, I've got some extra panda film to seal the light out. Probably take some ply wood and cut holes for the pots to sit in. Should be easy enough. I'm having a blast learning too! After smoking for so many years I finally get to put my knowledge and time into growing my own, it's just too kool! :leaf:

makes since since your trying to replicate mother nature.
my only concern would be posseble loose buds, like outdoor grown. jmo but i think the high lumes in final hardens up the buds. i have no proof or have i seen it refered to but its a thought that fluttered through my head when i read this.

Ash the panda film will do fine, but i would recomend something other than ply. you will have mold issues!! use something sythetic. plexiglass painted would work. anything organic will mold and milldew and you dont want to start out that way. a pc of stirofoam would be ideal and easy to work with,
yes it is just too kool!!!

stick another week or so on that????? looking good though mate :)

Las noted that may be even better as will give time to fatten up those buds!!!
im excited but not in a way that will make me compromise just because
youve been busy lately mate, lota good things happening for you, im glad...

having no idea why other than being able to closley examine the plants, and their slower grow time ive decided to do a soil grow. there are other reasons as well but that will come later.
so i took a aero clone out of the cloner and made sure the plant was ready for the transition. not knowing really what to look for i just checked the roots for health and vitality, the stem for strength, and the leaves for healthy growth. this plant seemed to foot the bill real nice.
 
016.jpg013.jpg015.jpg
i started off with a healthy clone
she soil is Roots Organic by Aurora. 707 formula
filled 1/2 the pot with soil, adjusted so root ball would sit in middle, gently filed in around roots tjll soil level was at rhe rim. gently compressed the soil till 3/4 inch below rim.

018.jpg017.jpg020.jpg

i then watered lightly so as not to saturate, just settle the roots in.
you can see some yellowing in the clone fan leaves, thats normal i understand and is not a defency.
up to now only water has been used on plant, i plan on starting a nute reg in a couple days. ill keep it mild at 100 ppms for starts and run a test as it progresses to see where this girl likes it.
i didnt want to start a new journal so ill be reporting on both aero and soil grows here as they progress.
 


ISNT THIS COOL AS SHIT!!!
Guess this could be a plug for the aurora co but i have no connection to them what so ever... just like the soil so far

since i dont have an avatar i wonder how i could use this as one, maby some of you teckies can turn me on to avataring 101 lol
