Update:

I re-LSTed heavy dutily the mothers... don't want them touching the bulbs... I cut off 8 very good, long, bushy, secondary growths... gonna make some clones!

I took a 5 gallong bucket, placed an air stone at the bottom, filled it almost to the top with GH clones mix, and CalMag PLUS.

I placed a lid (from a square plastic "shoe box") on top... drilled 8 holes, placed the clones... taped them down (yeah, tape), used some paper clips for support... (note::: in the picture, the paper clips aren't present... I added them later... and I didn't take a picture... becuase I ain't Master Splinter...)

Placed a 9W (40W) CFL on top of them ('bout 12 inches).

The lights are on 18/6... the new 300CFM fart fan gets ON for 5 minutes, every 55 minutes.

Um.... target success rate this time around: 100%

Past success rates:
v1.0 = -30% (burned to a crisp)
v2.0 = 0% (died quickly)
v3.0 = 10% (life support for 13 days was it?)
v4.0 = 40% (kept alive with fog, for aprox 10 days... some rooted... most perished)

v5.0 = ??? 100% ??? let's see in 7 days.

If they all root, I'm placing 4 in the fog root chamber (yet to be improved upon... crap). The other 4 I'd be placing in.... SOIL!!!

Making new mother plants... more, um, manegable. :dance:

Wish for all of you the best... I don't know if I'll have time to re-log in before I go, but if I come across an internet cafe, I'll definitely check the boards. I won't post... but I'll read if there's anything... (so c'mon Buk, pPuff, Skilz, Gen, gK, and all turtle-friends... )

Peace out, and please sen good vibes over to the clones...

Best wishes,

I think that my main problem has been the big Sterilite tub as a root chamber.

My new thoughts (if I give up the 5gallon buckets DWC) is to have two 5gallon buckets, on plant each, and have those buckets as the root chamber.

Before, I had the NutraMist placed OUTSIDE my cabinet... so, my 300CFM exhaust fan, pulled the fog right out of the "fog chamber" (Sterilite tub). So my roots got dry.

I'm thinking that I can go around that by using the two 5gallon buckets... because then there'll be more space inside the cabinet, and I can then place the NutraMist unit INSIDE the cabinet. That way, the 300CFM exhaust fan will create a vacuum inside the cab, but it won't pull the fog out so fast.

This making any sense???

SECOND idea set:
I don't know what to do with the fog ON/OFF cycle. I cannot have the NutraMist unit running constantly ON because it's TOO MUCH fog... simply too much. Fog everywhere... then it would condensate into water... on EVERY surface... fans, walls, inside, outside, floor, boxes, shoes, articles of clothing... etc.

So, because of this, I'm trying to run the fog in ON cycles of a couple of minutes (1-3) every 10 minutes.

My last timer schedule was 3minON/7minOFF.

What do you guys think?

I know it's a long-ass post... but, what the hell... either this or a discussion about Dungeons and Dragons.

Thanks guys, peace and good vibes to all,
