i ain't no electrician but i know my shit works and fuck no that ain't a chopped up cord u crazy it's a 10gauge wire you should know if you are a electrician but forget all that i ain't explaining no more electric work cause ya on some other shit as long as i know that my shit works that's all i care

you should have all your loose wires ran in a piece of conduit, or leave them in cable form. if you have alot of power running through those wires from your timer to your outlet boxes, your going to have problems with heating. the wires need to be close together else it causes induction heating. yeah it may work, but that doesnt mean its right. i guess when your house starts on fire, it will all be ok, because you wired it up correctly right?

also the way your converting the 240 load to a 120 load by splitting it with the white wire, is a very bad idea. you need to run 2 seperate cables. else, once again induction heating. that means FIRE! i suggest you either fix your wiring or take down the pictures of the way you wired it so others dont try fallowing in your footsteps and attempt to do this with apsolute no knowledge on this subject. not trying to be a dick, trying to help you out.

get some metel boxes, some box connectors, some nm box straps, and a new length of cable and it will be right. not much to it, but dont leave it how you will have it. you will save yourself alot of trouble with 20 bucks worth of stuff.

i've been using this wiring setup for 3 grows(7 months) already and my buddy has too for 5 years and he was the one that taught me how to wire it and as far as i know ain't no fire at my house or his house, so if you think it's wrong i be gladly to have you wire it for me, also i had a third friend come over which is a electrician to check it out too and he told me it's fine (he also wired his own shit running 8 1000w and aint no fire at his house buddy)

or if you like tell me how to wire it and i rewired all of it your way and see how good it works

how to use EZ clone?

1. do i dip the clones into a cloning gel or just leave as is
2. do i put clonex solution in the water of reservoir or just leave the water as is with PH adjusted
3. do i dip clone and pour solution in reservoir

these are the 3 answer i got from some hydroponics store i call

some say dip it in clonex gel and dont pour nothing in the reservoir just use pure water

another say dont dip it and use clonex solution for the reservoir

another say dont dip and dont use solution

so which is it?

[mainegrown]

some say dip in gel..
i personally have had 100% without any cloning agent.. only 2 but both have made it so far! so however you end up doing it i am sure it will be fine man..
but i have heard GREAT results with dipping stalk INTO the gel.. sounds like your best bet.. IMO that is.

thanx buddy i'am ready to cut some rite now some purple kush and purple urkle how long did it take to root for yours

[mainegrown]

root.. like a week..
to start to grow? it has been 3 weeks and it is JUST starting to really grow.. but then again it had to revert to veg first so it has been a wait..
check the new thread in grow logs by me if you wanna see how clones do with no gel or w/e..

After years of my tried and true method I decided to hope on the band wagon and pick up an ez cloner 60 & 30 (both for testing, and shits and giggles). Unaware of exactly what the magic formula for success was I started to play. I tried so many traditional techniques and a few off the wall techniques too. I'm far from amateur and started to doubt my problem solving skills when the nut was finally cracked.

The system is releasing a fine mist into the chamber creating a rich air/water ratio. This is the cloners greatest strenght. Any gels or dips are limiting this rich ratio from entering the cut stem which delays results. So drop the dips and gels. Instead pick up some Root Excelurator (Not cheap but works great, saves time). Add .3 ml per liter of fresh clean water (pH before adding root excel to 6.3). People are gonna fight me on the pH range. it's true hydro/aero pH is best between 5.5-5.8 but thru trial an error I found 6.3 pH pops out roots 3-4 days faster.

Stick a temp probe inside one of the foam disc a few inches deep to get an acurate root zone temp. Keep temp of water at 71.6 for best results.

The ez cloner system is notorious for heating the reservior water above optimal levels. Once the water tempt starts to climb above 75 degrees the terrain becomes primed for bad bacteria to colonize. I found hydrogen peroxide sanitization limits the root excel compounds results pretty significantly. The best solution is to drop temp if getting too high with a timer. The best recycle time is 15 min on 15 min off. Lights should be 18 inches away. Clones need vary little light, less is more here.

Notes:

Tried several root compounds; Jump start, Olivia's, Clonex, Super Thrive, root tonics, root excelulator, and so many others. Root Excelulator by far works the best!
