THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX! ok so i picked up a rubbermaid container off craigs list for 30 bucks, scrubbed and cleaned with bleach. its like 49"high 49" wide and 32" deep. i took 2 4x8 sheets of 5/8 sheet insulation and screwed it to sides doors and top. i used cardboard for washers as my first sttempt the screws went right through the foam. i hung 2 shop lights from the top and wala veg and clone unit. the 2 shop lights keep the unit nice and warm without the need for ventilation at this point. notice the size of my clones lol, i just couldent bring myself to cut nice branches.
there is enough room for 2 of these clone/veg units and room for water nutes etc between tubs.

ok so ive cut a few tiny clones, somewhere ive read the times to cut after starting flower, can anyone elaborate on when, i cant find my notes but it seems like @ 21days. my understanding is clones taken during flower really branch and grow very fast. what is your experience?

Setup looks great! You did the same thing with the netpots and neoprene discs that I did. My bubble cloner is a 10gal tote with 24 sites and three 12" airstones. Thats where the similarities end though,lol. I like aero and wanted to build one but just haven't done it yet.
I like both of your setups a lot. I'm on my phone so can't see the pics as good as a PC so I'll swing back by tomorrow to check it out closer.

Ok, there's a few questions you have still unanswered so I'll see if I can help in some way. I'll ask someone that knows much more than I to swing by too and have a look at the pics of that plant with the deficiency.
For big pics:
Go to your profile and start an album. Upload some pics into the album that you'd like to post and then all you have to do is open that pic from your album and copy/paste it into your post.
24hrs of dark:
I don't let them sit in the dark before flowering but have recently started gradually reducing the amount of light they get ny an hour each day until I hit 12/12 and all I can say is the plants were all showing signs of flower by the time I hit 12 hours of light from 18 so six days and they were already flowering. I've had some clones show that fast too but not all do and don't know if it will work that way seeds for sure but I think it does. It's supposed to be less stress on them which would help if you're running from seed and are concerned with stressing your plants into hermie. This is not a big risk though so don't weigh your decision on this alone.
Mother cab:
It's dope.
Scrog:
Dope too but I'd reconsider the chicken wire as a screen. I know some people do use them but it has been known to cut into plants. I didn't use mine for that reason and went with some plastic fencing from Lowe's instead that has worked great. IT was told to me that it can cut into them and I dind't want to take the chance with my yins.
Non-vented hood:
You're going to have heat issues at some point running a 600 unless the room that tent is in stays cold without an air cooled hood for the light. Seems you already know that though, lol.
Sweet grow and I wish you the best of luck with it. I'm subbed up so I can follow this to the sweet end it is definitely going to have given your preparation.

mel thats some awsome shit your doing with the lights! first time ive even heard of 2 lights in one hood other than cool tubes. looks like you need that chiller set up before the ice thing becomes a chore rather than fun. so far im having a blast with mine but ive only experienced a couple of issues and they were newbee shit that im sure everyone has when they start,mostly fiddeling with everything untill its messed up and then having to start over to get it right. hope your temps settle down and hold in an acceptible range. i would love to have a basement for my girls but they are parked in the garage and the girls and i like it that way. the temps here are great year round so temps for me should only be a small problem if at all.

RE: the def. i think it would be a mag- i upped the cal mag a bit and the nutes and have almost 0 sign now. but please send an ol crusty trusty grower by to glance at it and comment. im completly out of my comfort zone but feel with everyones help it will come off great! nice to have resources that have seen and understand whats going on with just a glance, takes me all day to do the simplest things it seems.
speaking of which thanks for the advice on the pics ill try some out later on tonight and see if it works for me.i may have to tomorrow as i just had a couple good rips off the bong and may not follow text well.
yea i changed the light and glad i did, temp swing was like 12 degrees during lights on. now they are only like 5 and i can bury the vented hood almost on the canopy without damage. fact is i raised it a bit to get full coverahe as 18 'was not giving as good of a footprint as was needed
ok i hear you on the screen, i can see where the thin guage wire would cut bud shoots and cause problems. be a lot easier with a large hole and big guage wire to position and relocate folage and bud sites as needed. NOTE TO SELF quit being hardheaded and when something makes sense just go ahead and do it right.
dez great to have you sitting at my side through this grow, i feel more comfortable. knowledgeable resources are priceless in any endever worth taking.

Nice! I really like how you worked that out - awesome!the aero/nft unit
i built a modified version of the sb jr and tested. had a couple leaks but only minor. after fixing a couple of drips i ran unit for 24 hrs solid in the garage and was satisfied all the kinks were ironed out.
i used a coleman ice chest for the res and set the unit into tent for dialing in. after getting the heater and ventilation dialed in it was time to bring the girls in. notice the frame for scrog, its removable at point where 45s connect to frame.
