As long as you are going to finish them in the same net pots that's fine. If you are transplanting them watch out when they get tangeled in the net pot they are are hard to get out with out damaging the roots.

That is what I was talking about.

Peace

DON'T USE LEAF SHINE STUPID. THATS A COSMETIC APPLICATION LIKE "MAKE UP" FOR GIRLS TO MAKE INDOOR PLANTS HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF A HEALTHY SHINE. iT CLOGS THE PORES OF YOUR LEAVES. thATS THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING I'VE SEEN YET

thought you were talking about individual clone roots tangling up in netpot, but you meant with each other,,,OK, either way, because of your advice, I monitored them and nothing went wrong.
That is what I am saying, Thanks for your help, this helps the new guy's, ooops and gal's that want to build something for themselves.

It does not clog the pores, it is waxy and I just spritz the tops...I've got a tub full of big, fat,
vigorous clones!!! leaves breath thru the underside of their leaves...

I took a storage container with about 10" bottom , 5" second level and slightly dommed lid the bottom for th water and air bubbles then the floor of the second layer I cut like 18 1-7/8" holes which I cut off about 2" black Pvc pipe to go snugly into the holes. Inside the pvc inserts I put 3" lengths of the styrafoam water pipe wraps. they fit in the pvc stugly and although round they have a slice on one side with peal off sticky thingys (handy for holding in the cuttings} All this in the floor of the top layer and it sets on bottom part with the bubbling misting water. Lid goes on top for some light but I usually put something to keep it from being all the way closed. Works good for germinating seeds too. If you use rockwool the small squares will fit right in the pvc inserts as will the peat seed starters. works basically the same as yours thanks for the view and Zandor, his word is like gold, nothing but good advice as are a few of the guys heres advice I'm sure.
Imagination is the creator of inventions but it sure helps to have someone give you the basics for an idea, amazing what one uses from around the house to fill in the blanks( garden knee pads for example, thats great ).
Well there ya got a response , lol
Peace bro,
Bill

Thanks, Bill

REad cloning 101 by Zandor at the top of basic growing forum. In cloning 101 Zandor talks about using an anti-wilt to keep the leaves from drooping, He said it was what they used for vege's and flower's in stores to keep them looking healthy and pretty, for us. but it acts as an anti-wilt (we don't use a dome) zandor also, stated that he had researched a couple of others in stores and they would probably work as well,but the common thing in these leaf cleaners or shiners or MAKE-UP
is the waxy content...so, I went all over town and found 2 or 3 different products, but wanted to check, which substitutes would work...I confirmed that it was a cosmetic product for leaves and that it was waxy...so I went to Wally's and bought MG leaf shine...Now, I want to state, here and now.I don't use any other MG products and never will, but I found my leaf-shine!!!
A quick RANT!
I don't mind if you don't agree with my methods, but I have successful grows and I'm happy, I have helped a few folks out on this site, once I got the experience to do so. But, Stormcooker calling me stupid pisses me off, so, no offense met to anyone else, but Stormcooker,FUCK OFF!!!

Hey folks, sorry for a ccouple of poor quality pix. I would not usually post this quick. but I have been getting unreal growth sourts and wanted to share with those of you that are interested in the progress. :)
1. blurry pix, but you can make out the height difference from last post
2. overview right
3. overview left
4. soiless clone exp.#1
5. soiless clone exp.#2
I think I am going to place them in flower tonight...
I enlarged my room and added a clonestation/shelf...still working on lights,
will post thread on indoor growing later on...thanks for all of your support,
and let's keep enjoying helping each other become better growers...

Sweet!! :)

I've done my homework, you can tell,
But, I would've never known how easy it is to clone without all your work Zandor. You do not need a humidity dome to clone!..cloning 101...
On behalf of all the other heads here at cDOTcom, I thank you!

Just a quick word or 2...Phaze II is thriving! all 8 6dwc/2orchid mix exp.
are about 14-20" tall now w/anywhere from 1 to 7 leaves and secondary and new growth is frenetic...the undergrowth looks like a spider web! :D No shit.
they haven't quite gotten pistil's yet, but I expect these will be sweet...6-7 weeks until harvest...I've got to get them finished to make way for my Blueberry Jack replacements and KK sent me Misty Blue as a gesture of good faith...Misty blue is a cross between Original Misty...which is WW x ?(can't remember) and Sagamarthas Blueberry Sativa Male :p :p :p ...I'm pretty excited about that one. :D ..I'll try and update exact cross that makes up Original Misty later...
thanks for visiting...latewood :)
