newbie hydrocfl experiment

[justanotherbozo]

Yeah I thought it would be better to have the stems dangling but figured it would still be ok in hydroton, thanks for the heads up bozo, I'll have to have a think, maybe if I just put a top with a small hole on the net pots it will work till i've some time to sort it properly or a bit of styrofoam ( i think thats what its called, the white stuff they use for packing), yeah i'm sure i can get that to work, thanks again bozo.

and you can get it in sheets at a home center or a lumber yard or a builders supply. you might even be able to just get some styrofoam or plastic cups that fit in the holes you made in your top, then just cut the bottoms out.

anyway, good luck, and you're very welcome

and thanks for stopping by Opie

Just read your thread, and I must say nice looking setup. I love your cloner; I was gonna try clonning this time around but I'm about to move soon after harvest and didn't want to try to transport plants. But I'm gonna start right back and I see your cloner comming in very handy. Keep up the good work :thumbsup:

pics 1 and 2 are of the ones that i neglected, pics 3 and 4 are the ones that had uninterrupted oxygen and the last pic is another shot of the expanding canopy, note the empty cups left by the valiant dead.

I had just noticed that in the last picture of this quote you have a green cfl bulb. did you receive your $5,000 gift card? thats killer', thought id just point it out.

lol, yes and no.

like you, i suffered some set-backs at home which necessitated my chopping most of my babies. my daughter and i haven't been getting along and she found out about my grow and made some threats.

so, rather than risk her doing something out of youthful angst and stupidity, i convinced her i had chopped it all down. (20 years from now i don't want her feeling guilty for ratting her dad out, this way, she can't, and i've since sent her to stay with my son's God-parents for the summer.

what i had at the time was some rooted cuttings, my plants and 6 extra cuttings i'd potted up into dirt that i intended for a friend.

when i decided to chop, i potted the rooted cuttings into a DWC bin and put them into another location along with those i had in dirt
then i chopped the plants, taking multiple cuttings from each (it left me with 6 donor plants)

since then, i flipped the six in dirt (there were 3 of my donors and 1 unlabeled) and found 2 fems, lol, unfortunately, one of them was the un-labeled one so i have one new momma, with 6 cuttings rooting and almost ready to enter the flowering phase, plus, i put cuttings from 2 of the remaining 3 donors in dirt and under 12\12 yesterday, hopefully, i get one more fem (from the other strain)
(actually, i'm pretty certain i will 'cause the un-labeled fem is definately different from the other one)

anyway, i'm hoping the state doesn't decide to take my economic stimulus check like they did my drivers license (for non payment of child support even though the kids have been in my custody for 6 years now) so i can get a new camera and some good seeds.

if not, then, on the first of the month i'm gonna start my flowering log anyway, by then i'll have enough confirmed fems to start production of my SOG, hopefully, i have a workable plan to carry into the future.

LOL, wish me luck dude!

It's not so fun playing executioner to your green children when their secrecy is at stake! Glad you were able to smuggle some of them away from the chopping block. At least they weren't super strains... oh yeah, did you ever narrow your choices down to what you want to order?
I constantly obsess over the ones I want to order and grow... Blueberry and Sensi Star

thanks man, and don't be intimidated.
while i agree there's a shitload to learn, you don't have to wait until you're an expert to get started.

you're luckier than many, myself included, in that you have that haze plant to work with.

Can you post a pic of the bubblecloner tank, with the air pump running? I want to see how your bubbles look.

Thanks:rastasmoke:

Sorry to hear about the destruction you had to do.
