Here's a couple pics and and an update of how we're looking at day 22:

Day 22 Temps.jpgDay 22 Moms.jpgDay 22.jpg

Still waiting for my Vornado humidifier to ship. I'd like to get that humidity up to 65% (+20%). I fed them yesterday after 5 days of no water. I'm not going to wait that long anymore, maybe every 3 days should be good. I used Dyna-Gro (Grow) at 5ml per gallon. I also trimmed the bottom leaves that where dying off and dragging in the dirt. I think next weekend I'll try to get a total of 9 clones so I can start the vegging process.

Finally got use my bubble cloner today:

I think I ended up putting 5 gallons of water into it. For each gallon I put 20ml of Clonex and sprinkled a little bit of Great White in there also. After I mixed everything up I PHed the water to like 5.5-5.8. I guess this is is my first DWC adventure and i hope it turns out well. I cloned C99, SLH and threw in one Pakistan Valley Kush for a friend I made on the website that lives here in the Central Valley. The temperature of the water is 80 degrees, I might toss in a few ice cubes if it gets any warmer ;)

Haven't posted in awhile. Today is finally day one of flower after 45 days of veg. I decided not to keep 4 moms because it just takes up so much precious space. I made a bunch of clones of the C99 and Super Lemon Haze to keep it perpetual. I already cloned my next set of 4 and have them vegging for next go round.

Made some extra clones for a friend. Here's the flower room:

Everything's going just fine :) Next run is going to be C99x3 and SLHx1.

Here's a few pics of day 9 flower under 1000w HPS with a 45 day veg:

Everything is looking good so far I just ran into one major issue and that is with the grow room design. I used those styrofoam sheets that measure out like plywood (4'x8') and are 1 1/4" thick to cover my garage door and create a wall:

255.jpgIMG_20130603_101429_971.jpg255.jpg

Problem is, I have SO MUCH negative pressure in that room from the air conditioner and the carbon filter that it sucked these walls so hard they split at the seams and pulled off the 2x4 top and bottom even though I used liquid nails to support it. It literally bowed the panels in the middle like the letter "C". So to fix it, I cut the taping that connected the panels vertically to create a gap to let me get behind there (9" from back of panel to garage door). I drilled holes through the panel in the center and ran wire through the hole (doubled up) and secured it to the horizontal members of the garage door. On the face of the panel I used a 16 penny nail and just twisted it until it was fairly tight. I re-glued the tops and bottoms and it seems to be working so far. The negative pressure is absolutely rediculous. For passive air I only have a 6" hole that is shared with my veg room lol. I'm not going to try and find more passive air, I'm just going to get by on this grow and build a real wall there (roto-hammer, green plate, studs, drywall/plywood) like I did for the rest of the interior walls in the garage. I want to run my natural gas over the center of the room so I can hook up C02 and just use that. I think its safe to say that room is very sealed lol.

I was having some issues with my bubble cloner and came to the consensus that airstones fucking suck. They would put out great bubbles for a day or so then go to shit. I got tired of it and my clones where paying the price so I stepped up my game to a Turbo Klone T48. Just the idea of Aeroponics is just awesome to me. Having to drown those stems and rely on the airstones for oxygen is retarded. Now all the cut tips get sprayed 24/7 and have all the air they need.
The only issue I have with the T48 so far is rez temperatures. The pump is submersed in the reservoir and i see the temps climb really close to 80 degrees. I'm trying hard to keep it closer to 69-75 with a PH of 5.8 and the RH is around 60-70%. I think I'm on day 4 with the T48 and I'm seeing roots come out of clones that previously had black tips. The local hydro shop was selling the unit for $299 but I showed them an ad online that was selling it for $239, so they gave me the T48+ a small bottle of clonex gel out the door for $258. Awesome. I would of payed the $300 just to try and save the 30+ clones I had going with my bubble cloner though because I had patients lined up that wanted them.

So yeah, the clones where looking like shit in the (blue) bubble cloner, but I think they are turning around with the new Turbo Kloner T48. They just needed some more air.

Starting too see some good bud sites. Watering 1 gallon every other day and feeding 3ml/gal Dyna-Gro "Grow" every other watering. Next week I'm going to start Dyna-Gro "Bloom" since the stretching should be pretty much over. Here's some pics for you guys/gals:

Cinderella 99 (Female Seeds):

After the pics I stuck in a few bamboo sticks to support her. I have 3 C99 and 1 SLH vegging for next round, I think she's my favorite :)



Super Lemon Haze (Green House Seeds):

The strongest smelling of the bunch, when I'm out hooking people up with clones, this bitch puts a smile on my face :)

Kannabia Karamelo (Kannabia Seeds):

This chick is an indica dominant freebie I got with my SLH+C99 order from attitude. I did not take any cuttings from her and just plan on growing her out :)

Pakistan Valley (World of Seeds ((Landrace):

This was another freebie I got with my order and actually had a friend that wanted a cut to cross with. I'm not saving her and plan on just growing her out :)

Recently got a new video camera and decided to make a video update instead of taking a bunch of picks :) Sorry about the HPS lighting, I just wanted to do something quick and let you guys see what I have going on. I think I might be week or so from havest but the pistols are still really green/alive. What do you guys/gals think?
