Very nice. Do you snip the tips of all your clones? Also, I found some neoprene inserts but they don;t say what size they are.

http://www.gchydro.com/detail.asp?product_id=EZCLONEI

Do you know what size they are (maybe it's a universal sized insert and you know.)

Da1...the plugs are 1-1/8...I used a 32mm hole saw to cut out the holes and the plugs fit perfect...
Ask Zandor for plugs...they sell 'em under the co. name wackojack hydro
the neoprene plugs you found are a different size, for ezcloners..I think.

If you buy the ones you found...you just make your cloner site holes to
match the plugs you found...If they are the black ones...I think you would use a 1-1/2 to 2'' holesaw...later.lw

Looking good LwOOD!

I'd like to ask you a question... about... guess!... the plugs.
lol!

Ok, to the point: Clones in the plugs, into the cloner. Clones root perfectly, and they're ready to go...

What do you do?

Do you take the plugs off and place the clones in net pots with pebbles?

And, side question: The net pots... the small square holes... do those little holes ever "choke" big-growth roots?

Thanks lWood ! Have a good one,

OK, 024eltrut...
1st, the plugs...DIRECTIONS: Open slit and remove rooted clone...set clone in 3.75-5" netpot with a layer of pre-soaked ph'd Hydroton in the bottom...set in clone and fill netpot the rest of the way up...I bury the little darlin's right up to there neck!

2nd, Netpots...I wish I had a pic of one of "my monsters/roots"...Choke'em???
Yeah, RIGHT...Those little netpots are 'NO Match' for 'MAD:upsidedowHYDRO Root Systems!!!

Thanks for hangin' out 024eltrut, lw

Could've vegged after 10 days, but here are the 2 Misty Blue test cases, from last update...notice the progress...and a NL#2, kind of 'blurry', sorry. later lw

I used botanicare rooting gel and botanicare rooitng solution...I give these products a STRONG:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Select tops like this, for ease of handling/rooting...
...We all know that we need the next nodes below the tops in the mist...so by stretching them a little...we accomplish this

There is plenty of room to cut your clone below the lower nodes and shave them off; Underwater of course; This will provide optimum chances for rooting...

I think the lack of shaved nodes; or, just placing cut stems, dangling in the cloner...doesn;t work!!!

[latewood]

here are pix of what turned out to be a side-by-side; Young, unsexed/C1's side-by-side w/ C1's from Mature 5-6 month old Mother...As you can see, the Older clones are 'KICKIN'ASS!!!' Over the young, Unsexed/Cuttings from NL#2

I conclude that the over-all maturity of the sexed clones attributed to there fast rooting and, immediate growth.

It will be interseting to see how the NL#2 root next go-round, if I get a FEM'

...So, benchmark1/cuttings, mature-vs-immature/confirmed*seeindoorbible

I found these yesterday at the HydroStore...
I am going to experiment with a couple canadian trays/? filled with hydrofarm large perlite and providing 4 sites drip per tray/110gphconverted from 1/2"
black irrigation hose to 1" pvc manifold (modified, slightly from Madman Aero thread...)and fitered/converted to 1/4" driplines (very simple).

These trays have a troth on either side of a "hump" for lack of a better term,
and pre-fit drains at one end...The 'Mad Scientist' reared his ugly head and before I knew it...'HE' had 3 of these up on the counter...
along with some Florakleen...(Herbus "bullwhipped" me into the idea, that I needed some, LOL),
and of course a new 10' piece of PANDA PLASTIC...you can never have TOO MUCH!

...anyway, if these work 12.95 a piece, I will be thrilled. The experiment is due to the fact that I am using Perlite as opposed to Hydroton...For the 1st time. any suggestions will be appreciated from perlite growers!

watch for Drip-trays experiment thread...later.lw

Day 7, I picked these 2 for progress reports

Doesn´t look good, you´re overfeeding them... the leaves are turning yellow.

Doesn´t look good, you´re overfeeding them... the leaves are turning yellow.

the leaves are turning yellow, because they have not been fed and the cuttings used all available nitrogen to root...duh!...you better read some more, before you post on my threads...feeding too much...roflmao@u

I love this unit, but I did have to vent the rez in order to keep inside rez temps down. I think I might be modifying this with different spray heads.:smokin:
