Ummm that's not been my experience lol. I got some ok results most of the time but keeping the water chilled (not cloning) has improved my results exponentially. The best addition to my room has been a chiller after 3 years of thinking it wasn't needed.

I've been running hberg tea and my res goes up to about 72 at the hottest point in the day had brown slime soon as I out the hydroguard and hberg tea in it haven't had any problems so far soon as I went a week without them I saw signs of root rot cuz pH dropped a bunch added the tea and all better bennies are like a magic bullet if u ask me that's just my experience this is my first hydro dwc run ever and having very good luck and yes I tried the frozen water bittel and they deff like it so I'm sure it be a great purchase but I don't have a need for one atm I have a single 17 gal res

That's the other thing is I haven't even tried out using frozen gallons or 2 liters yet so that's always the easy resort, if I could toss a frozen 2 liter in at 9 am and have it still be 72 or less by 8pm that would be primetime

You can try but it didn't work for me, perhaps in a cooler though. It took way to many bottles lol.

You could be right but I ran beanie tea and got rot. As soon as I started the hydroguard and chiller no more but never ran hydroguard by itself without chiller

Ya same here but almost 80 here yesterday. Supposed to go to 4c here tonight, hope the girls don't catch cold but they are pretty hardy as I've drowned them twice, left them in starter pots, and generally treated them like shit, now their planted in it lol.

Switched to the cooler cloner, running just RO and 3% h2o2 at 12ml/gallon, got some pool shock. Don't want to run sterile but I have heard good things about keeping cloner/seedling system sterile and introduce bennies once there is nice developed roots. So going to give that a shot. Veg plants look nice, roots finally making it down to the second tub so I'm going to just use some window screen and maybe staple it to the drain hole, or some kind of glue.

Anyways going to add another 250watt CFL to the tent now that there's starting to be some foliage, been pulling off fan leaves as soon as they are large and blocking light, going to have roughly 8-10 clones to take by the end of this week.

If your referring to when you switch to flower plants will almost always double in size or more by the end of flower, as far as a stretching period yeah 2-3 weeks, 4 would be a bit long I would think... Make sure your lights not to far away for its intensity.

Herd 2-4 weeks anyone have any experience with these 2 strains the holy grail gets up to ten ft outside so that's why I'm a Lil worried

Yes 2-3 sometimes 4, but then they still grow up lol. Maybe get ready to train to keep em out of the light. I always run into height issues :(.

Sooo your a defoillater huh .... well we're done then :(. Just kidding lol. I've tried the leaf pulling thing but it seems I suck at it. Never helped me and always did better just leaving them but have seen some epic grows pulling leaves :). Pretty controversial subject though lol just hope it helps your girls.

Remember we don't even know if they are girls yet, well one was femmed. But yeah all the rest are mysterious. Mixture of captain cook lemon Thai and sensi sky I think. Can't wait to get things rolling and bust into my genetics collection
