thats a good question, i am wondering the same thing. can you buy new filters (foam) for your carbon filter? mine is getting a little dirty.

Check out my cloning technique, any thing you can add or criticize to my procedure would be greatly appreciated since i have never done it before. this might take a couple posts.

here are a few more,,,

Alright so here is my walk through....

picture #1 is a picture of my cloning trey, equipt with trey to catch water
Picture #2 is a picture of a cutting before i stripped the lower leaves
Picture #3 is a picture of the cutting striped
Picture #4 is a picture of me putting my clone in water to prepare for underwater cut.
Picture #5 is a picture of me cutting my plant at a 45 degree angle w/ a razor blade under water.
Picture #6 is a picture of me dipping my clone in to the Clonex gel.
picture #7 is a picture of me putting my clone in the clonning medium made of composted tree bark.
Picture #8 is a picture of me closing the hole on the growing medium w/ another piece of the medium.
Picture #9 is a picture of me misting the plants after putting on the plastic lid.
Picture #10 is a picture of my labeled clone box.

Hey Gnome, Hey SC, I figure it is me you are wondering about with the 2 filters?

The reason I have the 8 inch in there is to scrub the room odor continuously. I also use the 8 inch inline fan as a Co2 delivery system and to recirc new air through the garden. I mount the duct along the corner at the deiling. I seal the end with aluminium tape. I cut holes in the duct to allow air and Co2 to exhaust right onto the plants. The carbon filter is on the ground and in front of the A/C. It pics up the Co2 and cool air and drops it directly onto the garden.

The second filter is there to combat the humidity spike that occurs when the lights go out. That filter comes on, the dehumidifier fires up, and the Co2 stops dispensing at lights out. The fan exhausts into the attic. Probably not so important now but when I have buds they wont be getting moldy!!
I also plan to get a controller that will allow me to set that exhaust filter so it can be used as a high temp safety valve of sorts. I will have it come on if the air gets 95+.

I hope it all make sense. -Jay

Peace and Love.

PS. please take a look at my post in the hydro topics..."2000w to 3000w Should I expand or thin out crop?"

so should i start to feed my plants again?

Since we are on the same time line, I can say what im doing.

I am just ph"ing plain water with 1 drop of super thrive, and just 5 - 10 ml of mollases.

Really mild solution, no real ferts - Just trying to get all the veging stuff out and get things stable on PH going for 6.4 or 6.5. I think ill wait a week or 2 still to fertilize since my plants are still coming out of shock from the trimming 2 days before budding.

Can you post some pictures of your plants , or your 2 biggest from about 3 feet away, just enough to show me top of pot as size comparison / height and stuff.

[santacruz_organic]

yeah, i will post some around 10 or 11 tonight. i got to go to work

here are some pics, there will be more on wed.

hey organic. one thing to remember. it is better to pour your clonex into a seperate container. I like a tall and thin shot glass so you barely use much and it coats the cutting high but without much. This will keep you from contaminating your expensive bottle of Clonex. If your cutting for some reason has a virus or such (it happens), then you can pass it on to every other cutting. Plenty of people get away with it, but its an easy way to be sure. If I pour to much out, then I get it into a sealable container and try to use it soon on some other cuttings that I dont care much about. Or I pour it back into the rockwool around the stem. No denying that this accelerates rooting.
