A 3-gallon bucket plus a Leak-Tite lid at HD/Lowes is under $10, won't leak at all, and you can do 20+ sites easy.I'm looking for simplicity and turn over. I'd like to have plants going into my flower tent every 3-4 weeks.

nice find. i thought about going that route but decided to built a tumbler. i cant wait to test it so when you trying out your new screen?
how much of what did you start with? cant tell from the pic, is the hash gold or greenish?
i got sick of the cig pack cello hash and bought a hand press with handles. only problem is i keep smoking the kief from my grinder, before i can save enough kief lolI had 4 paper grocery bags full of leaf trim, pop corn buds and some undeveloped stems that I should have let finish budding after harvest. It was close to two pounds of shit I hand crushed, then ran through an herb grinder. The kief was a little more green than I wanted, but it is mostly golden looking. It was, now it is a dark choco color, but I'm pissed. I didn't get clean separation from the cello and that cello bag bottom was pleated, which I did not know... I lost about 1g to shit sticking on wrapper. Also did not get great bond. Corners did well, center came out crumbly, but it smokes well... stays lit by itself and tastes like hash. Not as good as the blonde hash I had in highschool though...
I suspect a long time between posts... every time I make fresh hash I don't do shit that day....
Congrats on the EZ Cloner. Ur gonna love it. The Sure Ta Grow starter cubes were bought on eBay. Less than $20 total and I got 2 96 count slabs of starter cubes. I cannot endorse them yet, as I'm currently awaiting my first STG sprouts. My mat Temp is 77 degrees now, and I mist the tops every day, at least twice, and I'm avoiding standing water.what the eff were did you find sure to grow. I want that so bad but no local place has it. and i joined you today in the wait for the ez cloner.
STG Hail works good, but anyone doing any reverse feedings, such as a ebb & Flow flood system, have to add something to the medium to help it wick water up. It works fine for drip or top feeding, but not bottom feeding. If you started it on drip, you could probably reverse feed after roots hit bottom of the pot. I'm not sure of the ingredient. Currently, the loose fill medium is on a trial sale for first time customers, half off up to 2 bags I believe.Iv e been wondering about that stg stuff. I wanna try the stg loose medium, I'm usin coco but indoors it can be a mess. Don't get me wrong I loooooove coco but if I could get the same results(doubtful) with less mess I would. What is sure to grow made of? It looks like cotton foam or something.
It's finally here!
My EZ Clone arrived yesterday, packed in a discrete, plain brown box, even though I checked a box that it will not be used for illegal cultivation. That phrase still rings alarms in my head; "illegal cultivation". It is amazing to think that we have allowed our government to outlaw the growing of a plant that is here naturally. In Genesis, God said that he gave all seeded herbs to man and animal as a gift of food. I consider cannabis a flowering herb, not a weed. Illegal cultivation my ass....
I was happy to notice when I was pulling out the EZ Clone box from it's discrete box, that a bright lime green sticker called out to me and advised for a limited time, it came with 1 oz of clone gel and 4 oz of Clear Rez, a new product from EZ Cloner that will allow you to go 30 days or more without changing the water. It is however recommended that you clean and sterilize the unit between cloning cycles.
Upon opening the box, I was greeted by a heavy duty looking reservoir...
This unit came with a 750 gph pump. The pump looks heavy duty and has a grounded 3 prong electrical cord. The air pump was a 500. Just under the two electrical components was the cloner top, inserts, the manifold, misters, airlines and elbows.
The first thing I did was verify all parts were there, then I assembled the manifold and misters and installed the pump....
The next step is to install the airline. Let me take a moment here to raise a concern with mangled airline. I know that simply coiling it up won't hold it together for shipping, but how about a rubber band or something? Tying an airline into an overhand knot and then expecting it to lay down in the REZ is a joke. This was the most frustrating part of the assembly, trying to get the airline to stay at the bottom.
I am VERY thankful they thought to use elbow barbs with the airline. Without those, it would have been a pain in the ass and then some. The instructions say to attach the suction cups to the airline and place on bottom of rez.... well, my cloner had no suction cups, except what came with the pump. Here is the unit fully assembled.
The instructions claim that no dome is needed. The owner goes on to say that it takes him an hour to take cuttings and fill a 120 unit, and in that time, his cuttings do not wilt.... LOL.. I'm not sure what he is cloning, but my cuts wilted within 5 minutes. Today, they look much better, after I misted several times overnight to revive. Next time, I will use anti-wilt.
I'll update you guys and gals on the progress of these 15 clones. Today, they are all standing upright and looking very good. My initial PH was set at 5.2, because I expect it to raise a bit, as the Cloner instructions hinted it might in first 24-48 hours.
I sure needed one last night for an hour or two to revive the cuttings. As you saw from the pic, they looked pathetic and my humidity last night was in 50's. I'll post updates later, but they look fine now, with no dome. It's just the initial first hour or two after taking the cutting that they need care. KLN additive may speed up the process. there is also a silica additive, Pro-Tekt by Dyna'Grow i think, that strengthens cell walls.Yeah everytime I ask about a dome for my cloner at my hydro shop "you don't need one" uh I think I know better than you what's going on with my clones. One time I asked and the guy said " you don't need one just filter there light, and raise up the humidity" DUUUUH THAT'S WHAT THE DOME IS FOR. O so I should raise my whole rooms humidity for a 1'x1' area of clones.
If you will simply google "convert THCA to THC", you'll find all the scientific explanations you seek. All I need to know is that THCA is converted to psychoactive THC, which is what gets us high. I don't know the scientific explanation behind it.I feel kinda dumb asking this question, but on your extraction when you say leaf material, are you talking all leaf material or just bud leaf. And can you explain the tcha for me. Thanks for your time.
