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
