It'll give me a chance to get a feel for a different way of growing and I can still grow a couple plants with soil too incase I screw up the dwc.

Anyway I come home and get the oxypot set up, test the pump, no problems. So then I start on the clones. Get four of the five plants out, (i'm not doing the other one yet as it's lagging behind the others and it's not got anything big enough to take a clone) Find one good branch from each plant, around 4" tall i guess, cut off all but the top leaves, and trim the bottom of the stem about 1/2" under where i've trimmed the bottom leaves from, dip it in clonex and pop it in a cube. All 4 done and in the propagator, misted and under 125 w enviro I decide to relax and roll one up. :rastasmoke:

So I'm sat there chillin when I realize i've forgotton to label them up Gutted! I've made my best guess to label them now, but I could very well be completely wrong lol Oh well it'll teach me to take my time in future!

On the bright side the clones look quite happy.
been there, done that. also, it's probably a good idea to take 2 cuttings minimum per plant, first cause 1 might die, second, so you can flower one and hold one back to become a momma maybe, or to die if a male.
and good luck with the DWC, my first grow was in dirt and now i'm using DWC for my second and i love it, my plants are WAY bigger than when in dirt and the seeds came from the same source so i know it's the DWC and not different genetics. just make sure you add plenty of air to the res, oh, and if you like the DWC and think you want to use more of it, don't buy small pumps, get a good one at your local hydro store, it will be cheaper in the long run.

bozo,
peace, love, dope
