I was thinking about either a closet setup, the wife might get mad about taking all the space or a setup where I would convert an armoire to a grow station.. something like this http://www.meijer.com/assets/product...9371_C_400.jpgYou think this could work as a good growing station if the wife wont let me use the closet :wtf:
Converting an armoire is a good idea, just make sure you allow for adequate ventilation and fresh air induction... it is vital to healthy plants.
MVP.. got a couple questions for ya :)
This will be my first time cloning, but I got the concept of it.. i think. Just need a couple tips and input on my situation..
I want to clone my outdoor plants, (white widow, the chronic, god's gift, good god, ak48) and bring them back. one of the problems is that it would be at least 45 min before I could get them into rapid rooters.
if i bring down a bottle w/ r/o and put the cuttings in there and come straight back, make a new cut slightly higher, then scarify... I have A/N piranha, could this be used for a rooting hormone? my hydro guy told me just put it right in the rapid rooter w/o any hormone and i should have no problem
Also, is there such a thing as too much light? I can run up to 4 23 w cfls, cool veg. is this sufficient?
hey thanks for answering my ?'s any advice is appreciated :jointsmile:
As long as you cut the growth shoot and put in water immediately to avoid an embolism you can actually keep them in the water for quite some time. I've successfully rooted clones from cuts that sat in water in my fridge for a week.
Sounds like you have the concept down pretty well so it should stand a good chance of working out well for you. I swear by Olivia's cloning solution and would recommend it cuz its never failed me. It will make your chance of success much higher IMO.
can i get that at a hydro shop or at home depot or lowes?
You'll find Olivia's at most hydro shops... get the liquid cloning solution and follow the directions. Post questions here if you have them and I'll usually answer back pretty quickly. Good luck, it is not that tough to do.
I've rooted cuttings that have been in the fridge for more than 8 weeks with no water change or maintenance of any kind. Some people make sure they have several cuttings from each of their valued mothers in the fridge at all times as an insurance policy. Just make sure that they're not in the back corner that freezes, but the colder the better.Quote:

Dammit Opie, 8 weeks? Well aren't you something... a weed wizard of sorts!
I thought I pulled off the impossible when I woke this morning and checked my GDP cuts... of the 5 in the clone dome, roots are poking thru on 1 of them after less than 2 weeks - after being in the fridge for 3 weeks. I also have a dozen cuts in the fridge for a week just in case they didn't make it, kinda like you described.
I was expecting a minimum of 3-4 weeks to root these babies. Damn amazing weed, you are correct amigo!! :D
thanks alot MVP! seems like things should go smoothly. going to bring a cooler with me with a big bottle of R/O so the cuttings stay cool
the cloner I have uses net pots and rockwool and sprays water on the rockwool from bottom and partially on the sides, my question is atm I used the rooting gel when I put cuttings into cubes which were soaked in 6.0 water and only have plain 6.0 water in res, when should I think about adding any type of nutes to the res and the cuttings were kept in fridge for about 4 weeks, stems were recut and scraped, when might I see any type of roots from the cubes? also should I leave the pump on 24/7 that is spraying cubes or cycle it? Have 2 24" cool white t12's on 24/7 and dome on, cab temp is about 78-82 and humidity ranges from 40-60%, no anti wilt used. only wilt was when first put into cloner and clones "stood up" over night.
