mean bro likewise, love early mornings with a coffee and chilling with the plants. Cant give much advice im fairly new to indoor and have never done DWC. I've done soil with chemicals, as well as coco and perlite DTW before but currently on my 4th continuous run in no-till fabric pots.
yep getting them clones ready for outdoor as well, aloe vera is great for cloning I've found recently(its old-school as though).mix up some tap water and squeeze some pulp from the aloe branch/leaf into your water. Take your cuttings and leave it in that solution for 24hrs. grab another leaf/branch and stab your cutting into the soft gel/membrane stuff of the aloe, then just put your cutting in your medium or whatever. So far found it to be really effective and cost nothing.
thats a nice lookin bud what's that strain?
hopefully your clones make a comeback and keep us posted on your pheno hunting.
