This is my latest project, it needs some more finishing work, like a fan and an odor masker or eliminator of some sort, but I like it. I have cut down one plant to dry, once it is ready, the other plant will come down, then I can get another clone going.

Heres a few photos of my last clone before I put it down.

some pics, the jar is the first plant dried and now curing, 2oz. The buds retained alot of the density, which i'm guessing is the result of the hid light.:thumbsup:

Well, I'm starting to get that itch again, personal matters kept me from continuing where I left off, so I'm starting from scratch again. My boxes are in a semi ready state but that can quickly be resolved. I will have to start my search again for a suitable mother plant, since I had to kill my last one, I'm considering placing my first order with a seedbank, dr. chronic, seedboutique seem like the best choices. I know reaper will say joey seeds, which is an excellant choice as well. Since its summer, I'm problaly gonna go fluorescent all the way through for temperature reasons.

just recieved 20 ww seeds from cannabisseeds. com. Put 2 in the dirt to see if they are viable. Will post updates when and if these beans start boiling. I still plan to order from another company, k. c. brains seeds seem like interesting strains to mess with, just havent pinned down the distributor I want to go with.

Well, heres my little comeback attempt, so to speak, I planted 4 seeds and so far I've had one pop. This is supposedly feminized white widow, so I hope my little cab can provide me with some nice fluoro buds in time. I'm using regular 6" soil pots with the water trays removed and some extra holes drilled near the base. The medium is hydroton with a peat starter. My trustly old pump and wand are doing their thing in the 2 gallon bucket. I just placed the starter pellet in the dwc setup today, so once the seedling takes root I certainly hope the bubbles will crank up the growth.

just some pics of my seedling.

Heres a pic of my baby with my crappy cameraphone. I changed the nute solution yesterday, and she seems happier. She seems to have anchored herself sideways in the starter plug. I was using my fan as an intake, filling the box with air and creating a positive air pressure. I have since turned it into an exhaust fan and preparing a mod to make it an odor masker as well. Now I have negative air pressure in my box. I've also added an extra fan inside the box itself (not pictured) to blow on the bulb and seedling. The cfl doesnt get too hot, but the fan blowing on it makes a difference for overall temp control, and the gentle breeze gives the seedling just enough circulation and movement to help build a strong stalk. I have since changed out my trustly old air wand for a 5" airstone. The airstone give greater aeration to the nute solution, it looks like boiling water in my bucket, just what I wanted.

Just an update of the progess of my young lady. I'll be switching to my big flo next week. After one more week of vegging, after the switch, I'll be switching to a 12/12 light schedule, then on to budville, hopefully.
