Feel freeFrom what I've heard, it's very important to sterilize them between clone runs. You're doing hydro though so nothing new to you, I'm sure I'll be asking you and everyone else questions when I start using it.

Maybe grab a cheapo floating pond fogger and throw it on a timer for something like 5min on / 5min off. Crankz on GC does something similar in a 5gal bucket and never fails to get plenty of roots...
Edit - something like this

More just pondering ways to upgrade later haha. I did see those foggers that you linked, made me wonder how they'd work for that. Would have to work at least fairly well.

I often find myself thinking of and experimenting with ways to improve my grow in some way.
Most recent idea is a gravity fed subsurface watering system.... 1/2" PVC about 4 inches below the top of the soil slowly and evenly soaking the substrate.
The misters you're working on are now on the list to look into... maybe.

No, under soil sort of drip system. I guess I came into that conversation too late to understand what Ibn was up to.

Why undersoil rather than on top?
Why not drip irrigate or soaker hose, on surface?

Because with them so low to the ground, it's hard to water without getting any on the plants. It gets harder when the scrogs is in place too. I figured this way they get their water slowly soaking in and I don't have to stand there trying to lift leaves with one hand while I water with the other. Just me working hard to be able to be lazy.

Drippers and soakers are made for that exact purpose..put em on a timer.Because with them so low to the ground, it's hard to water without getting any on the plants.

I tried drippers once. The soak wasn't very evenly spread and it kind of created tunnels straight to the bottom.
The idea for this is to use (4) 3 gallon buckets with a 1/2" bulkhead connector on the bottom of each with PVC connected to it with one running to each plant. These would be mounted to the wall just inside the room. I'd mix my feed from the barrel water outside the room and just dump it into each bucket for each plant one at a time and have it gravity drain to each plant. I can be doing other things while it slowly saturates the substrates.

Some adjustments tonight. Out of soft wire so having to use string. Trip to store tomorrow after work will fix that.
Cloner is spitting out pretty good roots so far:
A-frame Cannabis manifold technique:
Here's a shot of the whole tent. I also clipped Jillybean too, she's down in front:
My Raspberry Cough is much bigger than it was when I went to bed, swear to Jesus. It's also way healthier. I peeped her roots yesterday and they looked fucked up real bad again. So I put it down and left it. Went to bed, work, come home, and she's tall af and roots are pretty white and spread out and looking healthy.

Cleaning Day here at the Plantation:
I guess I'm pretty anal about keeping my glass clean. My new little recycler there was showing lipids on like day 2 of use(she's a working girl it seems) so I knew I couldn't put it off.
Plants are doing fairly well.
Raspberry Cough exploding over there. Trimmed her underside down a bit to give her some breathing room. Gonna pull the mango kush(back right) out one more node before letting it turn up. Probably just gonna do the Jilly(front right) at 2, see what that does. May just top the Raspberry Cough and let it go.

Let's see here...Mango Kush got her last bit of adjustment today. Pulled her out a bit lower and on the weaker side i stead of waiting for the next node, I tipped the inner fan leaves and took off the growth spots on the I side as well. This is to hopefully give them plenty of natural growing space and to give me room to move wayward branches later on.
Last tiedown on Mgk here most likely.
Rbc here was looking sad for a bit after I topped her. Praying hard now. I like it, pray for me. I need it.
Roots on Rbc. Noodle fucking white. Doesn't get much better than that.
Roots on Jillybean here. Her top has slowed down on growth it seems, but the roots are doing just fantastic. I guess she'll take off when she's ready. May have injured her on accident. Hydroton isn't the most solid and reinforcing of bases lol.
Complimentary picture of my fat ass, hateful cat. Little Gray, as she's aptly named, is like that to everyone but me. Pretty funny to watch the Missus chase her sometimes.
And, last but not least...here there be dabs!
