i went to post some pics of the roots today and noticed that it was May 6th that i started them so it's only been SIX days not 8, wheww, that was fast. oh, and it looks like maybe 2 of the 3 that didn't root might still be ok, so that will be 17 of 18! awesome!
my first grow was in dirt also and i decided to try hydro this time myself. EVERYTHING i'm using is DWC, right down to the bubble cloner, it's basically just a shallow DWC. i have had awesome vegatative growth with it and really good luck too 'cause i have NO meters. i can't check anything but ph right now but, so far, everything is going great.
anyway, i'm about 1 week away from starting to flower for sex, then i will hold back a momma from both strains and start filling my sea of green, 4 clones at a time.

bozo,
peace, love, dope
