i was yes. i've kept 2 jars of the right mix to calibrate it as it's just a cheapo pen. tbh it'll annoy the fuck out of me if i have to calibrate it every time i want to top up my dwc bucket.

You should only have to calibrate once a month or so depending on frequency of use. Less if you store it with a dab of reference solution in the test bulb cover.
So it was the ones that you air layered that bit the big one?

so pissed off with my clone game it's not funny. they'd just started to root. so i potted em up stuck em back in the prop with a mist morning and night for 2 more days, too them out the prop and they've fucking keeled over. i'm sick as a chip. i need a sure fire or no one's getting cuts me included by looks of it. i'm having like 30-35% success rate. driving me mad.

on the plus the dwc one is looking FAB captains.

thinking of a mark 3 cloner similar to the dwc one but bigger, i need a bigger soup container lol. cake saver maybe with a shallow bow under it. idk all i do know is i'm fucking cheesed off not knowing why my clones keep carking it.

did your cuttings wilt after they had rooted when you took them out of the propagator ? , i think that's what you are saying, that is hard to avoid with some cuttings
i find the ones that wilt will do so in less than 30 mins of taking them out of the propagator , they are full of roots but do not seem to want to use them yet

i got round this issue by using a large propagator lid that fits over one of my smaller NFT tanks, so i take the rooted cuttings out of the propagator and put them in a nft tank but still keep a high humidity around them with the large lid on top, it does not fully fit like a real propagator so the humidty is high but not as high as it would be in the propagator, which is just what the sensitive cuttings need
i acclimatize the sensitive ones to the outside lower humidity over the next day or two

peace

that's what i'm air layering with now. see how it goes. ph balancing the water was a pain. not even sure it was necessary.

i'll have to o back through and find out the date i put them in. but i don't think it's been any faster than the glass on a windowsill technique. i'll check though.

EDIT: looking at the leaves it looks like it's been a bit hungry, think it needs more than clonex in the water, maybe a ml of A&B or rhizo.

tester branch of the smelly fingerez is quick dry and still full of nutes but it smells nice. sample that later
red steam, is not a good cut to clone.

that's basically exactly whats happened. i potted them then put them back in the prop for a couple of days but some just weren't ready to be removed but with me leaving my gf in charge i didn't wan to complicate things by saying she'd have to move some of them out of the prop and see how they go etc etc. anyway, i've enough stress on presently with work so, god dam i hate exhibitions. nowt but stress. unproductive, expensive stress. after 8 hours on me feet, with no lunch break. i then have to do all my other daily routine jobs before i go for a crappy meal and not have a drink. which is usually my only sanity saver at these things

them who were due cuts may have to wait a while or take fresh from different mothers. :(
red steam, is not a good cut to clone.
i was green when it started out 209, i musta been underfeeding her.

the psycho strain is usually reddy/pinkish in the stalk anyway.


anyway i've got the filter coming and it's a 5 min job to change over, that's the piece of mind i need. i can deal with all other things in my stride. the stress of knowin it only takes one curious visitor to walk past the house and my lass could be down the copshop while i'm away if a heavy thought. i know i'm para, but it keeps you safe doesn't it.



PMA i have it a lot better than a lot of poor folks so enough negativity and no with the adventure!!!

quick bong before the train and am gone.

I'm hoping it really takes off for you in the big one. I'm missing my hydro right about now... you know when things are going right cuz they grow a ton each day... or doing it wrong when they don't grow.

I freaking love staying in nicer hotels. As long as it's not budget I have a blast. haha, unless there are heavy footed folks in the room above. A few weeks ago the place we stayed had a lush breakfast setup. Only problem it was a cheaper hotel.... so all the guests were the kinda peeps who GO Fucking INSane when they are around something 'free'. There was seriously almost a fight. It was like pigeons going after a pile of seed.

I like steam rooms. That would be nice.

I'm going to enjoy all amenities to the full, avoid my colleagues but for mealtimes if I can manage it. They make me angry when there's no break.

I cant tell if its just added stress or me not smoking weed in a fortnight making me angry. I like the clarity n drive improvement but I'm a lot angrier than normal. I hate situations out of my control.

Meditation works wonders for me. 15 mins a day (when I remember to do it). Melts the anger, frustration, and hostility away.

Good luck avoiding the coworkers.

You're the second or third guy to tell me to try meditation. I just can't slip out of focus or I get bored. I'd rather do an hour on the cross drainer. Clears my head usually.

Tolerance break ends Sunday not that I had one lol, just ill need to road test 2 dogs and the smelly fingerez.

Running may clear you mind, but meditating trains your mind. Helps all day.

I've found testing nugs on a tolerance break is a bit useless. It all smashed my head up lol. Have you run the smelly fingers yourself yet? Looks like a nice cut.
