The area is right below my backdoor and the funk hits you as soon as you walk in the back. Luckily, the rest of the house is shut off from the basement and back door so I'm not too concerned with the smell yet. The babes are sleeping, so as soon as the lights come on, I'll snap a few pics. I'm also working on a bubble cloner so when that's done I'll get some pics of that up too.

MID-WEEK UPDATE
As promised, here are some pics. Introducing "Dro White and the 7 Bagseeds" :
Here's Dro White, hopefully she lives up to her name and gets somewhat frosty.
Can't forget the "7 Bagseeds":
OK, so I'm too tired to individually name ALL the bagseed but you get the idea. They got some molasses with their water tonight, I'm still not sure what it does but its not killing them so I'm going with it. Dro White and the first bagseed (they're numbers for now) are showing female preflowers for sure, I caught sight of a couple of pistils; still waiting on the rest to show me the goodies...

Yea thats Dro White is looking major! Looks like its a real string indica like afghani or something. Bro you should really think about ordering from attitude this weekend from the 3rd-5th if you spend like 35 bucks they give your 5 free dutch passion fem seeds all different strains. You are growing beautiful plants. it seems like youve got all the major parts to growing down, you need to get some official genetics and then its no looking back... Lovn the update!

I believe it feeds beneficial bacteria within the soil, not to be confused with feeding the plant directly (this is how its been explained to me).

Ah, that makes more sense to me, I didn't understand how sugar helped the plant.
I finally did it and ordered my beans from Attitude - Nirvana Pure Power Plant and Bubblelicious. I think I'll start with the PPP, thought about doing 2 strains but I'm not sure I'm ready to keep up with that just yet. Just a waiting game now...

Thats whats up. Im still waiting on my somango seed i orderd on sunday. it might come on like tue or wed. You got the 5 fem seeds right? you should start one of each and see what kind of pheno's you are getting. Look for a keeper mother from both strains. and you got all the freebies right? you should be good on strains for a while.

$25 CLONER
First seed order - check.
Cloner to keep those genetics going - check. I know there's a tutorial for this but I'm trying to document my first grow as much as possible. Let's have at it...
These are all the materials I used.
Cutting the holes by hand sucked.
I used aluminum tape to make the whole box reflective.
The weatherstripping is to make sure the water stays inside.
I hot glued the airstones to the bottom of the tub. Then I ran the air tubes thru the drilled holes and caulked around them to seal it.
Neoprene collars fit perfectly and hold my test bamboo skewers great.
So there you have it, a decent cloner (by my standards at least) for $25. Now I just need something to clone.

I hope the seeds get here in a week, I need to crack them ASAP. I'm getting the freebies too, so yea, I ought to be good on strains for a while.

Thanks, its a great way to pass time while your buzzed. I think I may need to get a larger air pump, its barely bubbling thru the airstones. Well I guess that makes this a $30-35 cloner.

I went with Nirvana's Pure Power Plant and Bubblelicious, so I think I covered my yield and taste requirements.
Its a 4 gallon tub with 6 inch airstones. The pump is rated for up to a 10 gallon tank, I'm not sure if this is the same as gph.

Great strains from what I've read. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with them!

I need to build one of these and stop using these damn rapid rooter plugs. that bubbler would just make everything so much more easy.

ive only heard good things about rapid rooters, are they not working for you?
cloners are very easy to make, all you need is a air pump and a container of some sort, ive seen gatorade bottles used, butter containers used it is really easy to make on and cheap,

Id say the rapid rooters work better in small numbers, 5-6 at a time. But if your taking like 20 clones theres only about 60%-70% rooting and about a 40%-50% survival rate.
