You seem to be making progress.
I very much appreciate your leaving the word ??finally? out of that sentence.
I underestimated a couple of things initially?.the heat of the summer, and the amount of space necessary for continuous cuttings and the corresponding space for mothers. So I??m coming up to speed on both counts. Of course?setting up a hydro project while living in Podunk has its challenges.
This project has been rewarding?..it??s speed and reliability are better than a dome?.and the fact that it tucks away on a shelf, taking up no more space in my layout than the dome is what I was shooting for.
I might have made a design change or two. The first is that I could have put intake ports directly over the dump tubes exiting the manifold. I put the intake port eccentrically over the nebulizer. I had a small variance in output that I didn??t dial in until all was said and done. The small inequality didn??t seem to affect the output at all.
The second might be exhausting the grow chambers at the far ends. I??ll wait to see the result of the wilt-pruf before screwing with that though. Possibly it stands as is.
I used to come a little more from the type A side, but allowing it to be what it is, instead of making it happen fast now seems the path of wisdom. All in all, I??m certainly having fun.
Hasta el proximo vez,
Rocky.
Don't throw that fogger out just yet. I am working out the specs on how to properly use these damn foggers. Like you I sort of thought these things were the way to go before I realized what it would take to actually make one work. There is very little research on them but through trial and error I think I have finally found a reliable way to use them to their maximum benefit. I wont say more then that for fear of failure once again and making myself look stupid. Hang in there, keep reading and keep experimenting.

You've been quiet.
Thought you'd at least kibbitz on da stoner chess.
No gotta be a chess maven, (but bein' a stoner is encouraged.):jointsmile:
What's your take onna Wilt pruf?
Stoma still open?
'Cause if that wax seals them, might as well use Aquanet.
Prolly 1000X cheaper, yah?:D
Jus' wonderin'.
Had some cuttings fail.
Only difference that comes to mind is humidity, it gets much lower in the winter months here.
They don't wilt, or even look dry.
Just sit there and slowly fade to pale yellow.
I'll dome them and see if that's the problem.
Any suggestions?
Weeze.
Yeah, I??ve been quiet with little to contribute?.But the new mother cabinet is beginning to fill up some, so in a few weeks I hope to be in position to move forward with as few interruptions as possible.
3 ½ weeks into my first flower. The nodes have begun to tighten, so I??m thinking that the stretch is nearing its end. I have about a foot of travel left to raise the light?so it appears that all the planning is going to work out well.
The biggest thing that I??ve had to deal with is the slowing of the bucket drains. It began right after a system/controller change out. I had been using only a small quantity of Liquid Karma?.well the turbulence of the change out released the thin brown LK coating into filmy floaters. I can only guess that the floaters are collecting on the bucket filters.
So I??ve shunted some pump flow in the controller to prevent bucket overflow. Thanks to Hermie I have airstones that I can rely on?.so for the present, no big deal. I expect to be able to finish the grow?.if not, I??m learning a lot.
The Latewood regimen was way more nitrogen than my grow would allow, so I??m playing it by eye. Just kind of making it up as I go along, so I??m just maintaining a constant ppm. So far so good. :D
Stoner chess is a consistent source of entertainment?you and Dr. Hermie are always fun. I guess that after 9 mos of intensive study I??ve backed off reading everything to attend to things that I??ve been ignoring elsewhere. Now mostly I??m just running specific searches for whatever pops up.
What's your take onna Wilt pruf?
Stoma still open?

As always I ended up with what was available?.in this case MG leaf shine. I have'nt used any yet as I don??t have cuts ready to clone.
Now many of these products are to be dipped into?.coating top and bottom. So how can you help but coat stomata. The instructions on the leaf shine say spray the top surface. But here we??re trying to accomplish something completely different?.slow transpiration. So as it stands I??ll likely coat a few top and bottom and a few top only?.let the process tell me.
In any case there is a Latewood thread on Leaf shine?..he sprayed both sides with success?..Quien f??in sabe?
But I??ll gladly take more conversation on the subject if you??re inclined to elaborate. Aquanet!.....is there something that you??re not saying???
Only difference that comes to mind is humidity, it gets much lower in the winter months here.
It??s kinda hard to image a humidity crisis on an island in the Pacific. The RH in my house is 15% at the moment?..I draw a static discharge of about ¾? everytime I touch a switch, receptacle, the refrigerator, or even the stream of water to wash my hands??even the cat is reluctant to come by for a rub. That really is priceless though as the only haole complaint I??ve ever heard about Hawaii is how humid it is!
They don't wilt, or even look dry.
Just sit there and slowly fade to pale yellow.
El (but not oh el)?..yeah, I??ve seen that. :D

Glad to hear that?..not for your sake of course?..because everything I cloned in the warmer, moister, summer months took well. But as the season turned to cooler and dryer in the fall I began to struggle?.for both reasons. Both are rectified now?.but it did take me a while to realize why.
Any suggestions?
Yeah, keep them warm and moist.
So the choices are:
* A muzzle cloner for that big dog of yours.
* Or a jock strap cloner for yourself.
Can??t go wrong either way!
Glad I could help,
Rocky.
Mainegrown,
When you get ready to build it?.let me know. I??ll include a few details that I didn??t post previously.
I??ll be glad to help.

So I got da fork, and taped my duck, now what?

Aquanet is cheap hairspray.
Far as I can tell, it's water soluable.
(Washes off.)
Though I'm almost sure it would kill a cutting, the key word here, is almost.:D
And I have seen folks wipe Philodendron leaves with Lemon Pledge.:wtf:
Makes 'em all shiney and lemon smellin'.:jointsmile:
Ya know what?!
I'm gonna wipe da next cuttings with Mayonaisse.
Hey, it's like, organic, man!:hippy:
Crazy?
Sure.
Fun?
Oh hell yes!:cool:
Tried being "sane", not my cup of different strokes.:(
Fun's where the fare's at!:)
So, line up, sign up, and take off your shoes.:rastasmoke:
The future is fun!
the future is fair.
You may have already won!
You, may already be there.:cool::cool::cool:

Just back away from the mayonnaise?Weeze.
I think that it??s nearing time for an intervention. Shake?you with me? I know where he lives.
Rocky.
As I got ready for round two I struggled to get the flow that I wanted?.so I reworked the inlet air to supply even more flow. The cap on top has 1 ½? vent and I added 3 more 7/8? holes (you figure the total volume) to a makeshift riser. All holes are off center as the nebulizer pukes water eccentrically.
[attachment=o238442]
I also cut more venting into the neoprene collars.
[attachment=o238443]
So forget all the flow screwing around in the past?..just add sufficient inlet air and flow is plentiful and equal.
The cake box domes work out well?.leaving enough space that the leaves don??t need to make too much contact.
[attachment=o238444]
I did use the Miracle Grow leaf shine?.I think that it may have helped somewhat, but not the completely wilt proofing that I had imagined. Next trip to the city I??ll try to arrange some anti-wilt and compare the two.
I??m only about three days in, so I??ll report progress another time.
Oldmac?.I??m taking your advice?it??s mediumless.

you know i'm with you HMR!Quote:
