Yeah I know the feeling....I can talk about it at home but not much else....it really does help to have these forums....:thumbsup:
It's funny how growing the stuff will take on a life of its own.....it already has for you I see...lol!
It's all about enjoying the experience. Good luck. :)
i think i find the growing of weed more relaxing and fulfilling than the smoking of weed if that makes any sense.
it's just sooo cool to start out with this little tiny seed and to raise it up into a plant that rocks your boat. i'm a disabled vet so i have plenty of time and i like to think i'm handy so i've done lots of reading and now i'm trying to apply what i've read. i've had some failures, or rather, learning experiences, but they don't discourage me. now all i need is a Dr. here in RI so i can get legal.
Being legal DOES help imo.....just one less stress to worry about....although the feds always loom.....
I agree...growing does have it's own rewards.....great weed aside at the end. Strangely...I've tried growing other things (roses, fruit...) and it just doesn't strike the same cord......hmmm.....go figure...!!
:D
here's some pics of the cloner i just finished
same exact footprint as my other bins, just half as tall.
and thanks again Weedhound for the feedback, it's nice to know i'm not invisible, lol
1) assembled and ready to go, room for 18 cuttings
2) the guts
3) and 4) first day in operation
i'll let you know how long it takes (i hope just a few days), theres 2 gallons inside with 12 ml's of ThriveAlive B1 Red and 2 drops of Superthrive
Cool cloner. Almost looks like my new one. Sorry to sound like a broken record, but you might get better results if you had about twice as many bubbles. Of course though, it's the results that count. If it does good, no worries. At first I thought you were using neoprene inserts to hold the clones, but with a closer look it looks like something else. What is it? A rolled up insulation strip, or moldy piece of sushi?

lol, really though, i made the holes a little bigger than i had intended but it still worked, i used pipe insulation, i bought a 4 foot length of pipe wrap and just cut it into 1 inch pieces, those wrap around the stem of a cutting nicely, holding it suspended and secure.Quote:

Makes you wonder how Opie knows what moldy piece of sushi looks like.....:wtf:

Nice cloner dude. How often will you be changing the water in it? I've read in a few threads that they prefer to change out the water in their bubble cloners about once a day, but I'd guess it would be ok to let it go a bit longer as long as it stays SUPER clean and very aerated.
Oh, and what light cycle do you keep the clones at? This thread in the FAQ was pretty interesting which concerns the photoperiods with rooting clones: http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-faqs...ut-lights.html
I used to think there wasn't too much difference between the full 24 and 18/6 during cloning and veg. until I read about it just the other day.
I LOVE learning new stuff all the time! I just wish I could put it to good use already... until then I'll just stick to being a common carrier of half-assed knowledge
thanks man, i hope it works as good as it looks, LOL. as far as changing the res water, i hadn't really thought about it, probably, i'll stick a batch of clones in there, then, when rooted (hopefully within 7 - 10 days), i'll transplant them, dump the res and start over.Quote:
