Thanks. I was thinking maybe at 1 month old or 1 month under the 70w MH light is around the time that I can get 1 clone off of it.
here goes my best effort as it were...the first shot is of girls that are about 4 weeks old, now provided that growth does vary due to conditions and the effectiveness of your system but this picture is representative of about average to mid high results ...which firstly depends largely on the oxygenation of the system to the roots and the "water" you give the roots at this time in the life cycle and secondly on the ability of the grower to allow the soil in your case to dry enough to promote downward and sideways growth of the roots.
that being said ..imho none of these girls are ready for cloning, for the following...the tissue of the plant on the outside of the stem has not yet developed its "outer skin" which is what allows the cutting to sustain in a high humidity environment and properly respirate to support the clone and not turn into a pile of mush...basically in the high humidity environment the stem is too porous or flimsy to hold the cutting up let alone allow the chemical process of developing root ends on the outer surface.

somewhat conversely the next shot is a ssh clone taken a month ago and rooted(from a girl that was 7- 8+ weeks old(, clones could be taken from this plant now even though its roots are 1 month old..its the tough outer skin that is key in the life support of the cutting

the next shots are clones that will or already have rooted in a 8" dome w dual adjustable vents and the mothers they came from...which are 2-3 months old and had just been clipped

that being said, when the time comes you will want some cloning gel or powder and a cup of water..phed of course and a new razor..from there its just cut just above a node at a 45 degree angle then dip directly in the water for 5-10 sec then into the powder if your using that (which i do, i get it from lowes..greenlight i believe...n im at about 99% success( or if u using gel i dont think u need the water dip, just be sure you go directly from the cut to the gel and to keep the gel and powder container contaminate free by using a separate smaller container to dip from...other words pour some product into another cup for use. after the dip in the powder or gel have the clone medium ready w a hole large enough that the sides of the cutting can pass untouched all the way to where the bottom of the cutting will rest and then gently packed in around the product covered portion of the stem

Day is going great so far, but I think I'll need to skip 420 today :( We have visitors at the moment and they are just coming home as I type. I had a joint of Psycho Killer LP earlier and that battered me so will keep on trucking for the noo. Think we'll have a braai though since the weather is so nice.

Have fun with yer dooberywatsits, and don't get caught stickin em anywhere too naughty, hehehe.

Hey stinkbudds :-)
Hope your day is going good.
Popping in & out today while I try to finish up a bunch of projects so I can finally get my next grow underway.
I'm hoping tonight I'll be pushing seeds into soil. Nothing major, just going to re-start a perpetual grow with 6 plants vegging and 6 others flowering.
But was having major issues with the intake from the window and, with the summer finally kicking in, I have to do something to make it flow properly or I'll be running A/C all the time just for the growbox.
Just one more duct to make and then seal off some light leaks the modding caused.
I'm rambling, sorry. :-)
Just took a Union Break and the herbal refreshments have brought out the loquaciousness in me... again :-)
Peace, man!

Not sure if you guys have ever heard of an Ice box but I used one on my 600 with a water chiller and it worked quite well last summer. I haven't used it this summer since I've been able to keep my temps in check with a larger area but it did work quite well for me.

Yeah Schwag i actually did here of that about a year ago here somewhere and never looked into it much is it more eficient than it is for me running my A.C during lights on at the moment i run my 600 my and my A.C for about 8 hours on and off cycle to keep my room that the box is in right at about 72 degrees and it cost me all total about 38 dolllars a month to keep it going like that i guess it aint so bad..

I'm leaning towards a portable ac unit / dehum / heater for my room now. cool and dehumidify in the summer and heat in the winter. Problem is they're 500 bones for a nice one that is about 12k btu.

If you get them make sure its the ones that have a tub that you can pull out and empty and not have to pull a plug and have a container under it to drain into it but also have to have the A/C mounted up.

I've thought about something like one of those set ups.
If I was farther south with more heat, I'd definitely go for it!
I do my vegging under 48" flouro's in the open, so I just need air flow and acceptable room temperatures.
By the time the go into my growbox it's flowering time and my timers are set to come one at 7-pm, so there's only 3 or 4 hours before the heat of the day chills out.
And by that time the wife is home, so "On" comes the portable A/C to keep her happy, and I siphon off a little of cool air to route into my growbox.
But if it gets as hot as some places where you guys live, I'd most definitely be making one or two of those Ice Box coolers!

Here in the southeast the temps are 95 to 100 with 70+ humidity and I'm running two window a/c's (7,500 and 10,000 btu's) and barely staying ahead of the heat...bloom room temps show 64-91 last 24 hours and it's supposed to get warmer.

:peace:

Hey cof :-)
thats quite a bit of cooling power, how many 6ers are you running?
I had an attic grow in new orleans with a bare bulb 600 in the middle of summer lol I used a 6k btu window unit and it worked great.
Sounds great HS!
howdy bmm! cant wait to see some pics when their posted! if you decide to post them that is ;-)

2-600's, 1-400, T-5's-216w. The 7500 is in the grow closet and the 10,000 is in the adjacent room. I screwed up and semi-built the 7500 into the wall and it will take some major work to replace it...you know, it's the "I shoulda done it this way" engineering.
The heat index was over 110 today and will be higher the rest of the week.
