Nice to hear your back Turtle dont give up.. I We need you to finish;)
but good thing just keep growing and growing you did good with the clones (I think) Remember its our 1st time we all had huge speed bumps and had big mistakes, its all in our forums:thumbsup:
Yeah, turtle. I'm rooting for you. No pun intended. For that kind of money you should be growing giant redwoods. You will be rewarded. Persistance pays off.
For a first time grower you're doing great. I've been growing flowers and veggies for 25 years. And I can still screw things up.
chin up dude. just think how fucking lovely they will taste when u get there!!!
Friends, thank you very much for your support... :) We're on our way!
GreenMonster, thanks for posting! Good to have you around :)
Stay tuned, right now, I'm doing two or three things... in a couple of hours, I'll cut clones!
I'm placing the clones into their final root box... so they'll be in the same box all their lives. The root box, or root chamber, is a Sterilite tub, almost filling the cabinet to capacity. It's 12" high, and I forgot how many gallons... It's big. I'll upload pics later.
I'm going to install the NutraMist fog feed tube into the tub, then cut the hole to the bottom of the cabinet. Thanks to the fog discussions with DaCrazyThug (the guy with the Puppy Sandwich... damn, I miss it), I'll do now a "re-circulating" fog setup. Fog that's condensed, will flow back through the fog feed tube into the NutraMist. That should help with the maximum usage of the nutrients.
QUESTION: I installed my RO+DI (Reverse Osmosis + De-Ionization) water filter... working fine. Should I use my ppm/pH/EC/etc meter? I haven't used it yet... it's still in the box. Ideas?
I'll be placing the clones into small net pots... and filling those with lava rocks.
What else.???? Oh, I need to build the SCRoG screen and frame... tomorrow. Maybe.
And later today... yikes... I need to place my girls into their mother cabient... :( Small thing...
LIGHTS:::
Anyway, I was planning on using one CFL light for all the clones... the CFL is rated at something like 90 or 100 incandescent-watts. It's for reading.
I was hoping that light was enough, and after about 5-7 days, I could turn ON the 400W MH. Ideas? Suggestions?
Ok, stay tuned... As Gen says, same turtle channel...

I just started Clone Wars, version 3.0
NutraMist running 24 hours every day...
Dayton exhaust fan running for 5 minutes, ever 30 minutes.
One 12W CFL... 60incandescent-watts ("").
The tub, the fog setup, the rez, everything is working perfectly... except for a little leak... very little. Arghhh...
Anyways, I trully hope these clones work. I cut them pretty long, cut-off all the leaves except the 2 or 3 most upper set of leaves. I snipped the tips of the leaves off... I'm not 100% sure why.
I dipped them generously in rooting hormone.
What else?... That's it. :)

Turtle, is there such a thing as too much love in your book? When did you decide to turn your clones in frankenstein? I'm asking because I am horrified at what you have done to your beautiful clones. I would never take leaves away from a clone, unless the leaf is brown or yellow. Leaves are essential to plant life. Think of the stomach. Well the leaves are the stomach of your plant. By hacking away at the clone, it has lost all of it's food supply.
I'm staying tuned to the turtle channel.
Turtle since you trimmed all the leaves off. I would cut the stem down too. That's too far for the water to travel without any leaves.
Shit... I just started and I already messed-up... :(
Gen, this cloning thing ... ... ...
Ok, I removed the leaves because I thought they should be removed from clones... Oh god...
Ok, the mothers are fine, I can take more clones from them... But these... Oh god... Ok, can I get like, um...
:( I'm going to bed.
(BTW: Thanks for the input Gen, I appreciate it a million. But it's just too late... I don't even want to look @ them anymore. :( )
what people usually do is snip off 1 4th of the leaf margins *the tips) so that the clones have less inbalancing weight on there ends tipping them over but by no means cut 2 much of the leaves off shes right but thats just a simple overlooked step youve got all the ingredients now its just time to find the perfect way of mixing them up..jus think of it like this once u get this cloning thing down your bud factory will officially be open for business and in no time turtle will be parting the sea of green...if at first you dont secussed...fuk the world and smoke some weed...then try and try again...repeat steps 1 @ 2 as needed...
