those stealth hydro units seem to be working for alot of ppl on this site. personally i like building and doing stuff myself so i didnt get one of those. i might see if there is a smaller unit for cloning but again i might just make that myself too.

Making things is good!

There is a small unit for cloning. I have one myself.

Building the system is not all that hard if you are handy. Just make sure you keep you res size down to 8-10 gallons. Res changes can be an ordeal if it gets much bigger than that.

You'll need res, air pump (dual port if you can get it), 1/4" air lines (for air pump and to make feeder tubes), about 160-175 gph pump, some 1/2" hose, and irrigation hub, hydrotron, rock wool, a couple of air stones, net pots ( cut your holes about 1/8-1/4" smaller than the net pots), temp/humidity meter, ph up and down, PH and TDS meter and lights. Ther are a few things that make it easier but that's the basics

The cloner is very simple to make also. Fogger, small res (4 gallon is good), neoprene or sure to grow plugs. Drill your holes 2" and your ready to clone.

Yep and fast. I had some starts about the same size as yours when you started this thread that are just in FFOF soil. They kept up with yours for a little while, but now you've just about doubled the size mine are at.
once i switched to 12/12 she blew up in no time. good to hear things are going well for u too man. i got a few more pics for you all as well.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] INLINE AIR COOL TUBE REFLECTOR[/FONT]​

This is the best choice to make if one desires to have the most efficient air cooled system. The reflector is a self-contained unit which includes built in flanges and a tempered glass safety lens. Because the lens seals to the reflector, creating an airtight system, users can exhaust excess heat from the reflector without disturbing ambient CO2 levels. The reflector measures 30" x 25" (L x W) with 20" long, 6" diameter cool tube.
- Accepts Major Brands Cord sets
- Sturdy Steel Construction
- Durable White Powder Coat Construction
- High Efficiency Spectral Pebbled Aluminum Reflective Insert
- Fitted for Tempered Glass Safety Lens
- High Strength Steel Hangers
- Easy connection for inline fan and ducting
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]400W DIGITAL ELECTRONIC BALLAST
[/FONT]Digital Ballast Details:
Our digital BALLASTS work on either 120 voltage or 240 voltage automatically and plugs into any standard household outlet !
This new Digital Technology is the greatest advancement in hydroponics ! - Operates both High Pressure Sodium (HPS) and Metal Halide (MH) Bulbs.
- Includes a 15 Foot cord to the reflector.
- HIGH OUTPUT! Our illumaLights Digital electronic ballasts are specifically manufactured for the horticultural industry and provide maximum light output!
- LOWER YOUR ELECTRICITY BILL AND SAVE MONEY! More efficient and reduced energy consumption means a lower electricity bill. When compared to standard core and coil magnetic ballasts you can save up to $100 a year on electricity!
- WORKS ON EITHER 120V OR 240V . It automatically detects the voltage and adjusts between 90-277 volts! Plugs into any standard household outlet.
- With a sleek look, the digital ballast is lighter, smaller and more reliable than standard technology "core and coil" ballasts. It is also SUPER QUIET!
- Shielded components to protect against RF interference with other equipment.
- The Built in "smart chip" included with the ballast AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTS TO HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM AND METAL HALIDE BULBS. There is no need for a "switch" or to change systems, simply change from MH for vegetative growth to HPS for the flowering phase of growth.
- Operates at a high frequency (20,000Hz) instead of the lowly 60Hz of standard core&coil ballasts. This allows the lamp to operate more efficiently, produce more usable light for plants and last longer. Lamp lumen loss is minimized allowing for a brighter system over time and extending usable lamp life by up to three times it's normal life span!
- LOW HEAT! The digital ballasts run a lot cooler than standard systems improving ballast life.
- BUILT IN COOLING SYSTEM! This keeps the ballast running cooler burning bulbs brighter and longer

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] 400W HPS HIGH OUTPUT BULB[/FONT]​
HIGH OUTPUT HPS AND MH HORTICULTURAL BULBS :
These are not your ordinary High Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide bulbs. These are specialty illumaLights High Output bulbs made specifically for growing plants. - Our bulbs produce about 10% more light than standard HPS and MH bulbs
- Our HPS Bulbs have a 30% additional "BLUE" spectrum combined with high "RED" spectrum creates the correct balance for MAXIMUM PLANT GROWTH.
- Higher Lumen output for HIGHER YIELDS.
- 24,000 Hour expected life span on our HPS Bulbs (one year is 8,760 hours)

wow,so in 4 days she drank a gallon of water. looks like i'll be doing rez changes twice a week now. i wanna get one of those ZERO water filters, i am using tap water left to sit for 48 hours, sometimes filtered with a brita.

The more res changes the better for the most part but remember you can also add a gallon of ph'd water nuted to your current level if needed also.

rez changes are very easy so i dont mind doing them and also that way i get rid of what ever is left behind in the water from the plant feeding.

Beautiful color and those leafs show no signs of stress. The nodes are tight and she'll be packed with buds.

:clap:

Good maintenance product. I use it for a couple of hours before every other res change to disolve the salt build up. I also use it at cut for the last two days. Lights go out and the florakleen goes in. After I cut I leave it in the tank for a day or so and it makes clean-up easier.

do u run the plant under complete darkness for 48 hours before cutting her down? i was thinking of doing it.
