hours of study.

that being said, good luck man, really, i hope you have a truely great grow.
No criticism was perceived and I really appreciate the input .



This is about what they looked like when I put them in there. This isn't the same batch, though. I think this was from two grows ago, but don't remember for sure. You can't tell from the pics, but the little unit they're in is an 8 plant aero-cloner. I love the thing because it takes a lot of work out of cloning. You don't have to cut the leaves up or mist the cuttings. Normally you just fill it and forget it.

This is the fourth or fifth batch of clones I've run through it, and this is the only time (besides the very first one when I screwed up the temps) where I've had any issue with it. As far as I can remember, I did everything pretty much the same as before so I don't know for sure what went wrong.

I'm actually really surprised I'm having this much trouble. This strain usually clones really easily. Oh well, on a positive note I stopped in at the house to let the dog out during lunch and took a peek. One of the two has stood all the way back up, and the other one's about half way there so that should be good.

On a sad note, while I was moving things around this morning I accidently set the cloner on top of the mini-fridge I use as a water chiller. That fridge puts out a lot of heat and, well, if the cloner were larger the nutrient solution would have made for a comfortable bath . The cuttings weren't showing any strain, but I'm betting I cooked the roots.
