ok can i clone without useing a cloning hormone and what are the effects it will have on the clone and i have a milk jug and a cup some marbles and water ect...can i grow a plant with this stuff would it make a good hydroponis setup for 1 plant...???
haha decided to start a thread i see....
milk jugs clear....roots hate light...and i have no idea about hydroponics what you need etc...i thought that the rocsk they used contained nutrients or something...maybe not:s
oo the jugs not milk just said that kuzz peoples would understand sry its from some juice and is cleaned and is non see thru....made sure...
right, yea sounds like that would work...and i was just reading a grow log with someone who cloned without hormone...i go look for it and send you the link.....but i know almost nothing about hydroponics sorry...
iz ok someone who does will post...and yea post a link if possible...
Look up DWC.
Hydroponics setup costs are higher than dirt FYI. You are going to need pumps no matter what style you run.
u could make ur own bubbler system quite easy
I'll post some pix of my DWC cloner. the one I built can be used to clone/root and grow the plant to full sized and even flower it.
and for me it was cheap to build cuz I found things at my home to build it with.
all I that I had to buy was a pump and 2 air stones. which was arount $25.00 for all of it. at walmart.
and I can also set it up right next to my soil plants when Im ready to start flowering my clone or clones.
first is a pic of 2 clones I grew in my first home made DWC that I grew back in 2006. and it was harvested 2 weeks befor newyears of 2006.:D:jointsmile::stoned:
pic 2 is of the roots from the clones in the first pic.
pix 3-4 R of the female clone I have now.same set up as last time.
pic 4 is of the pump I have for the cloner/DWC.
and I think that I have decided that all of my future grows R gunna be DWC. because they really do grow faster than soil plants do.
I hope this has helped some also and gives you a visual pic of what U can do.
awesome looks like a weekend project eyyy...but i think my current plant the healthy one is male ill post pics right now...nd how big should the jug i use be like in gallons...nd what does dwc stand for...???
im n sure if its male but dont these look like pollen sacs...
one more thing wouldnt i have to buy all the nutes my plant needs to be hydro kuzz i know they don just grow with water...
LOL - You are going to need nutrients no matter how you grow.Quote:

well U can but it is not good to do so.
I did and it worked ok. but if I had used hydro nuts insted of soil nuts then my clones would have grown better.
and I didn't use any rooting stuff on my clones eather.
the air stones made the water bubble a lot lot of small air bubbles.
and the air bubbles R what make the roots grow. they give the roots oxagen thus maken them grow big and strong.
here is a drawing I made of how the roots grow better with an air stone in the watter. the small bubbles give the roots lots more oxagen and it makes the plant grow bigger and faster.
thnks really helpful nd ur a good teacher nd artist mah man...and take a look at the improvements ive made to mah grow box...;p
MALE!
DWC= Deep Water Culture. DWC setups are very efficient, I have done much experimenting with this type of set up. What I found I liked was I took some of those tubes of lays chips (kinda like the pringles tube, but plastic), cheap aquarium air pump, some air line, air line splitters (dont split the line so many times that you burn up your pump) and hydroton. With these ingredients put together in the proper fashion, I had a 90%+ success rate making clones. No nutes, no hormones, just tap water.
I highly reccomend using DWC for cloning. I've never done a plant all the way through in a DWC set up however, but I've seen countless posts of beautiful plants grown in this manner.
peace
