jdsoil Reviewed by jdsoil on 11-13-2008. GoldenGraham's StrOG Alright everyone. I've been around on the forums for a while, giving advice when i can, and soaking up as much knowledge as possible. Finally got most of what i need to start a (hopefully) perpetual grow. Just gonna list what i do have for now, sorry if it gets a little long. CLONE/VEG AREA: -small cabinet completely lined with reflective insulation, able to take 4 CFLs -4-site DIY bubble cloner that will also be used to grow girls up till they go into flower area -currently running Rating: 5

Hey all. I'm gonna order the following on wednesday:

-Canna Aqua Vega Part A - 1 liter
-Canna Aqua Vega Part B - 1 liter
-Canna Aqua Flores Part A - 1 liter
-Canna Aqua Flores Part B - 1 liter
-10 liters of Hydroton (expanded clay pellets)
-2 floating thermometers (one for flower cab's reservoir & one for cloning/veg cab's reservoir)
-2 min./max. thermometers/hygrometers (one for each cab)
-a pack of 40 6" light blockers for containers (prevent light from reaching roots)

also, i've discovered that i can light-proof some 2 liter bottles (good ol' duct tape) and use those as my containers in my flowering cab. they screw in perfectly where the stock containers do, and will allow at least 2x the root space, maybe 3x.

growth is good in the cloner. TONS of new growth on "the branch." the smaller clone i have (of same strain as the branch) continues to healthily develop its roots, so no vertical growth yet. the little sativa has more than doubled in height, which is sad because i'm seriously considering chucking it. here's why: the reason i cloned it in the 1st place was because it was in poor health when i got it, and too big for the (only) container i had to put it in. so i figured i'd clone it and start from scratch. however, it turned hermie on me, and i'm not really wanting to continue a hermie-prone strain. especially a sativa, when i'm growing indoors with limited headroom. there is still no roots to be seen on the opium strains.

i also picked up some salvaged items from a friend who was tossing out his old aquarium. i snagged the heater, a small air pump (unknown rating), and a "T" coupler for aquarium tubing. i've already attached both pumps to my single airstone with the "T" coupler. not sure where i'll put the heater though. right now i'm leaning towards the flower cab's reservoir, since i'm pretty sure the temp of the cloner water is good enough for now. i'll probably make my decision after i get those two floating thermometers, and just leave the heater out of the equation for now.

i'm off to research other peoples experience/recommendations for Canna nutes now. stay safe.
