wanted to ask about your experience with gravity. You use it in your coco mix? have you used it with straight coco? i was thinking about buying this product and maybe hit half of the ladies with it 3 weeks before harvest and if they are good 1 week later using it on all of them.

I can say it will increase you bud size and density thats for sure, I don't always use it but the times I have it worked great some say it leaves a bad taste in the bud but I didn't notice I guess I flushed real good

the plants look great as always. and i have a question about your cloner. what do you do as far as water level in relation to the clone?

Well actually I would just keep the water half a inch from the top , but I am no longer using the bubble cloner cuz I switched my stuff around and it wasn't giving me the consistent results I need so I am using Oasis cubes and Rock Wool cubes with Root Tech cloning gel but plan to get Rapid Rooters soon, I also use Jiffy Pellets they work well to so if I don't see a big difference with the RR then I will stick to the RT gel and Jiffy's. But the way I do things now is I used the containers that I used for my bubblers and flip one upside down for a humidity dome and it's working great and I have it on top of my flower cab under 2 T12's that are 6500K 20w each and I like it.... Works well cuz I take 8-10 clones a week using 2 containers and it takes 2 weeks to be rooted this way and having them staggered allows me to have my perpetual cycle going proper really soon!!!

I highly recommend botanicare ready grow starter plugs. I have used them twice on my first and second try cloning and I got about 50 out of 60 to root. Maybe more. And the best thing is a couple sprouted roots after only 10 days!

I've been having good luck with Rapid Rooters and my bubbler.
Rooters are fairly effective I think. Do not pull any of the bottoms off of them if you use them tho. Leave them entirely intact. I did that to some of mine and all of those have rooted much slower.

10 days sounds like a bit long for rooting to start. how long does your method take thundo?

10 days is actually a fair time on avg.

things like strain and rooting compound are variables that can affect that time. strain especially

i have some ssh that is super slow to root, while my strawberry coughs were done in like 7 days.

7-14 days, is totally acceptable if success rate is high.

My SSHxTW takes 3 weeks usually but my others take 10-14 days in cubes, I like oasis cubes cuz they hold water longer than rock wool and a sheet of 104 was only $7. I started using those cuz every time I was given a clone from up north it came in a oasis 1" cube so I may stick with them but Rapid Roots and Root Riot cubes both have my attention...

I've managed with my rapid rooters in net pots sitting in a tupperware. I don't even have a prop tray. And my bubbler sits right next to it and they both run off a 26w cfl. I keep the ambient temps at around 80 and I use a dome on the clones in the rooters.

I have 100% so far with roots between 7-10 days on the rooters and 10-18 days in the bubbler. I also have an 18g rubbermaid turned upside down (lid off) over the top of my 600w ballast to keep the bottom heated. I have my bubbler and tuperware tray sitting in another rubbermaid that is atop the other. This lets the bottom rubbermaid (the one with the ballast underneath) heat the bottom of the other rubbermaid that my clones sit in.

I run 18/6 or 20/4 and it seems to do the trick!

What are oasis cubes made from?

They're cheaper than Rapid Rooters, and thats a benefit.

I'm still around, kinda mad the RIU staff hasn't answered my email and for that reason there is why I'm not buying a elite account cuz if they wont help me when I have a problem now how can I count on them to fix things when I'm paying for it??

Anyway I got some pics for you guys and gals lurking and learning, lately I've been flowering my bonsai moms for the hell of it hoping to get a nice stash to have...




So those are my SR71 Purple Kush bonsai after 3 weeks of flowering packing on the weight now and getting frosty!! This is the best SR71PK I've done so far the others didn't frost up like this so I'm excited about her...




These are my Super Silver Haze after 2 weeks of flowering(special pheno selected by Shantibaba known as the Catpiss pheno) which is a huge yielder so I can't wait to grow this bitch in a bigger space...

I'll take some more pics later, the Fox Farm vs Flora Nova test got fucked up and I burned the FN gals pretty bad plus they didn't hit the sweet spot so next time I will get things right... I can say eveybody that came by and smelled them all said the FN side smelled more plant like while the FF side was dank and candy like
