I haven't used my bho tube for over a year. the end result is way too strong for me, my tolerance is low so i usually flog the hash n honey oil i make for a nice price. no one else sells the good stuff so i make a killing on it.

well off to trim i go. plants a beast too :roll:
1) Do you fancy selling (or trading) that BHO tube if it's a decent one?

2) Don't do anything with that trim, hash wise until you come back from work on Monday......;)

Mother's and clones but want to be able to veg the clones in there as well so they can go strait in to the flower tent when they ready.
I'd go for a 250w MH in a regular reflector to keep the heat in the tent for the mothers and veg, then construct a clone box for the corner out of a rubbermaid type tub with a couple of small CFL's for your clones.

A 400w MH would be better for vegging but it would also make your mothers grow too fast and would probably need a cooltube in a tent that size.

A quick peek before a pot up, tidy up and re-arrange.

4.5 that's low mate but if our run off is 5.5 then I'd just wait till she's dry and feed with a pH about 6.0 -6.5 and u should b looking better after a few days to a week.
And when you feed you should feed with nutes then the next time she thirsty just plain water and again for the next watering then feed nutes again its a good way not to over feed and get deficiencies ;-)
yeah my nutes are already mixed and ph to 6 I had to get my missis to check the colour as to my eyes they look similar lol cheers :)

Fogponic Cloner on a Budget.


For those of you who aren't familiar with the term 'Fogponics' it is an advanced type of aeroponics that delivers water, oxygen and nutrients to the plant roots in the form of water vapour (fog). Using the same principal as aeroponics except that fogponic systems utilise a very small water particle size (5-30 microns), plant root fibres absorb water most efficiently when the particle size is between 1-25 microns in size. The smaller the particle size the more efficient the uptake of water, oxygen and nutrients.


(1 micron = 1 thousandth of a millimetre, 0.001 mm)

So let's crack on...........




First of all you need to go on ebay and buy an ultrasonic fogger unit like this one.

This fogger cost me around £9-$13 and was the cheapest unit I could find at the time that didn't have LED's fitted.

(DO NOT USE A FOGGER UNIT WITH L.E.D LIGHTS FITTED, THEY WILL LIGHT UP YOUR ROOT ZONE AND KILL YOUR ROOTS!)


The unit works by sending an ultrasonic pulse through the water by way of a vibrating membrane, the pulse is so small and rapid that instead of splashing the water it makes a vapour.


I spent quite some time working out the optimum space for this unit with various sized buckets/containers and I've managed to get it perfect.

You need a sandwich box that measures 11" x 11" x 4.5".

Then you need a drill and a 1" flat wood bit.

Drill some holes.

Some duct tape on the bottom to keep light out, unless you're lucky enough to find a box the right size that isn't transparent.

There will be a small 'light leak' gap made by the box lip that has to be dealt with by putting a band of tape around the inside of the box, flush to the edge of the box.

13.jpg14.jpg15.jpg

You need a 13 mm flat wood bit to make a hole in the side for the power cable.

The cable comes in 2 parts, feed it through the hole from the inside making the plug a tight fit.
