When you buy your clones are they in perfect condition?I've notice some dispensaries offer clones with some yellow leafs.
When do you put the clone in the hydroton bucket?

I don't buy any clones usually, I have a friend that supplies them for me when I'm not running any mama plants. My close friend @Aeroknow always gives me nice green healthy clones, so I'm lucky there. Club cuts are usually extra tall and lanky, and usually will have bugs when you get them, so be sure to quarantine and treat them. I put the clones into hydroton the day I get them. If in rw, put about even with the water level, and hand water until the roots get into the hydroton, then start flooding.

Hay man just want to say high. I got the first 10 units moved and looking for land now.went for a ride almost to the cali line today with papapayne.
That's so excellent brother! That would be incredible if you end up close to the border :) definitely keep me posted and I hope you find exactly what you want, good vibes and God speed :)

Wow @AlphaPhase those girls are frosty as hell, looking amazing as always brl :-D
Thanks bro! The glue is ridiculous frosty, that's why I wish it worked better in my garden. My buddy dropped off some 29% h2o2 for me to try today. I think my crappie dollar store h2o2 was causing issues because as soon as I added the horticulture grade h2o2, the wierd water color in the res I mentioned, completely disappeared! Like wtf. Literally in 2 minutes lol. So I added it to all of my reses in flower. The runt glue sog had some plants droop hard after adding the h2o2 and having a flood cycle, but they are fine an hour later. I think there was some serious dead roots going on more than I could see which probably caused the drooping, h2o2 killing stuff that shouldn't be there kind of thing causing the plants to be like what the hell just happened loll. But all other gear was fine 8-) go figure after I order the bennies, his h2o2 is doing wonders, but I'll still be trying bennies out, I can't let them go to waste bongsmilie

It really depends. If they are growing and the tops are healthy and the roots are good, I'd let them grow out of the funk. If they are a lost cause I would take new ones. I figure it like this. If the sick clone will be fine in 2 weeks I'll keep it, if longer than two, I'd take new cuts

It also depends on how you'll grow em. Like, for me, I have to have 12 plants minimum for the next cycle, and they all need to similar size. I started with 16, I threw 2 out due to they'd never catch up to the others and I have 1 runt on stand by and 12 good plants. I wanted 14-16, but what can ya do right lol. So I'll just need to veg these bigger.

Thanks man. It looks like we will end up about 2+ hours closer to you, and 4 hours would make a huge differenc e when we come that way. That was a long day when i came by your old place.

I've been raising seeds in rapid rooter plugs,sitting under a cfl,when the sprout is about 3" tall I put it in the 1 gallon pot filled with hydroton...they seem to fall over at first and seem to be too tall.What method do you use?

Dude that's awesome! I can imagine how long that drive must have been for yas bro, especially a drive on short notice like that, 4 hrs less travel is a Hella lot closer :)

When I start seeds in rapid rooters, I put them in a 3" net pot filled with hydroton. The cups sit perfectly in a party cup. Just hand water them until the roots come out the bottom of the net pot and then transplant the net pot inside a bigger pot like the 1 gallon. That's what I do. Hope this helps man

Just make sure not to over water the rapid rooters. I just use a spray bottle to spray the plugs until the seed pops out and the shell breaks loose. Then when that happens I just water the hydroton lightly making sure the plug isn't too wet or dry. Then when the roots get big enough I transplant. Could possibly be overwatering if your seedling is falling over, I know that makes weak stems, or the light is too far away. How hot does the CFL get? How many watts and how many plants under it? Try to keep it close but not too close if it's hot because that will dry put the plug too fast I'd think.

Oh Lord that looks good!! I can see it has that nasty greasy texture, the hash will be so full melt from that :) how's the smell, still melon like? What's the yield looking like? Is it worth popping a couple more beans do ya think?
It is losing some of the fruity smell and yeild will be good for its size and care. Pm it is in the middle and has not been much trouble to keep off it. All in all not to bad if you ask me, and come to think of it i have that one chopping in two weeks with the ak if they make it that long.

Thanks,sure is the problem,I've been pouring the water over the cube and the light was a single socket bulb hung about 10" up over the plant sitting in the tray under the standard tray dome ,tall one.
Another question,when you run your aero cloner,are you using plain water?My tap water has zero ppm.
