Hi eight, that's pretty much how I plan to grow it.... It would be perfect for SOG as its such a small plant... Its only that big because I vegged it for over six weeks...

I will definately be scrogging it... I'll only veg it for 3 to 4 weeks I reckon...

That it sweet my white strain will be done around same time 9 weeks on yours?
oh yeah this summer I will be doing a true non bias 1000w side by side grow with DM Gold and AN Connoiseur.I have done weeks of research and have been told by trusting sources that DM Gold will give me similar results as my current line at 4/5 or even 3/5 the cost but I will do a full year grow since it will take a grow or two to get there nutz down. IM EXCITED
LOOKIN GOOD by the way.Do you have a pattern you use to mix your nutrients? I have noticed on the last grow adding my acids and or powerful nutz first that will kill my benificials and fungi once I have ph controlled I had the living goodness, has made a noticeable difference.

Hi Johnny...:-) When I use my nutes, I use the additives first to the direction on the bottle or a little less, I then add my vega A and B or flores A and B after that to reach my desired PPM... I find I don't over fertilize this way... When I use the additives I am using them for a specific purpose so nutes are secondary.. Just adjusters really... I only use Rhizotonic for a couple of days during veg and maybe once during flower, I use Cannazym once during veg for a couple of days ususally in conjunction with Rhizotonic, and I only use it once more during flower for a couple of days. I use PK13-14 for a week a week only at around week 4 -5... It is going in with my Laced Rhino next week... :-)

I have absolutely no humidity in the little tent, this is not good enough, so I had to think of something to fix it quick..

I bought a cold mist humidifyer the other week on ebay... Its the best little unit..:lol:. I've attached a little piece of the insulation that Eight gave me and directed the cold steam directly into the lil cloning tent...I've also switched the exhaust fan off..



In this pic you can clearly see the steam coming out, its working like a charm...



Just another close up, with the temperature and humidity reading... Its been on for half an hour now...The plants already look better... Humidity in cloning and vegging is a good thing... During flowering, Very Bad....:evil:



More on the big tent, if its worth posting.. Laceygirl..

ouch 90 thats costly why dont you get the ultrasonic humidifier produces no heat no mold compared to motorized unit( i have not noticed that the ultrasonic piezo speaker does not effect plants.easy to clean water stays cold and only 39.95 at your local pharmacy.just food for thoughts.Hey lacy have you used DM gold?

No Johnny, I'm a Canna girl all the way... A good friend of mine used to use dutch master, but I don't like it, my results were consistently better than my friends so they ended up changing to Canna too.... I've been using it for about 12 years now... I don't mess with success... But there are a range of nutrients here in Oz called Cyco... You need about 11 bottles for the whole range but another good friend is using it and they love it... That's the next lot of nutes I'll try, probably in the next year or so...

Oh shit, I also forgot to mention, with some strains I find Canna lacks something so I use Cal/Mag/Nitro by Growth Technologies help fill the gap.... Its pretty good stuff...

Mine is the ultrasonic...and its virtually silent, you can barely hear the fan... its only $69.75... I went to the chemist here and they only had vaporizers that produce warm steam....

yeah I have the ultrasonic and love it.
I know you are a canna girl and yes I see success.im just a dork like that I always like to see differences.Yes I have to add lots of cal-mag with there coco line(coco love cal and mag so much it wont let go LMAO)
So I am going to get rid of my clone dome and build your type of cloner instead of paying $300 for ezclone should shorten up my clone time by a week.
I cannot install the 4 x 4 flood n Drain till next crop.I let veg way to long these things are almost as tall as me and im over 6 foot tall.
oh yeah I get co2 next week.Wrist size colas here I go

Right, I've just about had it up to here with my aerocloner... Its really giving me the shits, and producing nothing... So I've had a bit of a rethink after I chatted with Eight and my hydro guy....

I came home and took it apart and some of the misters were blocked and there was a strange whitish slime in the water so I lightly bleached everything, rinsed it thoroughly and let it dry naturally...I put it in my bath tub to test it and the pump has more than enough grunt to do the job but the misters were letting me down...

Then I had a bit of a sook, and a think and there's always a simpler way to do things... I am the ultimate lazy gardener, so I thought what creates mist with water without mechanical means????
BUBBLES!!!!!... DUH, :wall: I could have kicked myself in the arse for not apply the technique earlier...

Out came the PVC frame and the black hosing mister I made and I replaced all that shit, with 2 x 30cm airstones and a water pump... Submerged in 35 litres of water in the aerocloner, the huge amounts of bubbles create a microfine mist, when the bubbles pop... Its genius I tells ya...lol.:-P... I put everything back to gether again and let it run for ten minutes... I used new neoprene sleeves that were totally dry, and when I checked it, they had such a fine mist covering them... BLOODY EUREKA....:-):clap:

I also managed to get the ultrasonic humidifyer inside the lil cloner tent, and the temps and the humidity are perfect....I am using cloning solution from Growth Technology Australia again, because it was the only thing giving me hope last week.....lol...When I run out of the Clonex Solution, I am going to try super thrive, I've had success with that before in humidity crib situations...

Pamela the Blue Cheese seems to hate my guts, I've given her the best of everything and she's been nothing but an moody bitch.....:sad: She looks lovely in the mother tent, but as soon as I try to clone her, she turns on me...:-(

And to prove how much she hates me, I took eight cuttings today... Four from Pamela Blue Cheese and four from the Super Lemon Haze. They have all been put in the aerocloner and I checked them 15 mins ago... The SLH are loving their new environment, standing straight up and you wouldn't even think they were clones, but the Blue Cheese have fallen straight over, flat on their arses... I know they will improve tomorrow, but it just goes to show, some strains like it better than others...

I will take pics but I've made a pact with myself not to do anything but check temps for 4 days... Will let you know how it goes....

wow their are soooo man difficulties when people bypass nature i.e use hydro aero and other methods when it works it works great BUT when it goes bad it goes hhoorriibbllee best of luck to you lacey i hopes you get it figured out

Thanks Mike, teething problems, we all have them, but cloning is critical to my operation so I've got to get this dialled in fast... I can always go back to the old method, but that requires me to be more hands on... I've got small kids at home, so I can't be spending as much time as I'd like in the shed, they always want to follow me in there....lol... Nothing in there for them to see so its easier if I stay outta there till they hit the sack... That's why I am aiming for total automation... I'm nearly there... :-)

you might wanna try using a reg clone dome and putting the right airstone in there use oasis ive found its the only readily available medium ive found that doesent hold to much water this is important : im having a hard time explaining this here its goes again first take your norm clone dome cut/ scar take a lil divit out of the black lip lay down a long heavy airstone feed the tubing throu the divit fill with a half inch of water if needed add a heat mat when you do this to a normal clone dome i dont have to mist ever the bubbles popping creates ushually just the right amount of mist and humidity is great cause of extra water i got 100% success when i tested it out to see if i could take a vacation if i wanted to i invented came up with this myself and works like a charm

Hi Mike, yeah bubbles are the go, I used to do sorta the same thing using a big white polystyrene box that cold stuff is shipped in... I just had a black mesh tray I used to put it upside down so the rockwool was out of the one inch of water in the bottom of the box, with two big airstones... Just let the bubbles do their work, I had a 100% success rate that way, but I can't keep that unit inside the house like I used to, now its in a shed so it has to be inside the cloner tent...

That's why I thought I would give this little twist on the idea, a go... I really think this will be the way it will work... I have a good feeling..:-) The Blue Cheese clones have already started to straighten back up... I am encouraged...:-)

Sounds good Lacy
I am going to build the version that you have tested and works using the airstones so how deep is your bucket? I will be using the small net pots with coco as my medium I wanna see how well this works

Well, I think I finally have the aerocloner working....:-) The Blue Cheese are finally coming along...

This is how they look now...



This is what they looked like yesterday....



I am lightly foliar feeding with Rhizotonic once a day....

Here is the SLH on day 24...





Here is the Laced Rhino... Its hard to get close to it, due to the light...



More in a couple of days...

Laceygirl... :-)
