my cuttings are smaller now, as i'm forming the moms... but i'm having a bad luck spell it seems. i just don't know what's changed, other than the size of cuttings and size of the pot...

ne opinions on a bubble cloner, how to make one, etc?

Hey little lady, hugs,,,...
The smoking may be a problem. MJ plants can contract the Mosaic tobacco virus fairly easy, you will know by a bending of the leaves kind of like they are trying to turn a little bit inside out. Doesn't stop them from producing, but does stress them. Smoking in general around your plants is not good. The smoke clogs the stamodda, bad spelling, the Stamodda are like the plants lungs on the leaves that allow O2 and CO2 to be absorbed and exhaled by the plant along with the dissipation and retention of needed and un needed bi products from water and nutes.
Well that is the lesson for today I will check in later.

i don't expose them much, maybe a whif a day or so... growth is excellent, it's just my current cloning condition...

That is a whick cloner and they do work, but I know more people use the bubble cloners or the aero cloners. I think that there are a few DIY's on here on how to make one, but never the less I will explain.
You get a Tupperware that is about 10x10 and put about 10 to 20 1 inch holes in the lid for 1 inch net pots to go in which your RW cubes and clay pellets would sit in. You drill a small hole in the side for a air tube to be able to fit in. You get a $10.00 air pump from Wally World and a $1.75 air stone or two and then just drop the air stones in and run the air lines into the little air pump and plug in, after you fill with water. I think you could build the whole thing for about $25 give or take probably less. Once everything is going the air stones will make small oxygenated bubbles that splash the bottom of your pellets and RW cubes and give them small amounts of aerated water and it is a quick process from everything that I have read. I need to use mine here shortly because I am trying to find a lower maintenance way of cloning. With the bubbler, you should be able to go without the dome or misting. Without misting clones will root quicker because they do not need to feed off the mist from their leaves so they strike out roots quicker.
Hope this helps explain it.

No I haven't herd of it, but I use something a little simular and it works wonders. Perhaps try it on a few and see how they do. With those kind of products you should see a noticeable change in a few days IMO if they are good.
With the one I use "Messenger" I do a treetment and the next day they look like I shot them up with some royds.
Let me know how it go's Little One. Bear hugs from theBlue

bear, i am ecstatic!!!!

first let me say i will experiment with this product as i have info stating the usefulness for my purpose.

next, sage is getting choped down soon, like 2 or 3 days. she realy, REALY stinks. i'm upstairs, she's downstairs, and i smell her like i've got resin on my hands!! can't wait. also, she hermied on one bud site so gess what? i got sage seeds!!!! about 10 of em

got a sage2 pollenated by bb. pollen took, hairs prove this hybrid

bb's are loving the hps. and they thank you everynite, bear

now, the REAL news!!!!

my brother and i went to a fleamarket today to kill some time and get out of the house. (i got a new pet peacock!!) whilst walking through the ghetto section (the back side where they put all the drunks) i came across some HUGE HONKIN LIGHTS!!!! further inspection showed them to be 400w mh lights, like the kind lowe's uses (not the ones they sell) after speaking with the drunk guy who had the table, i found that we had a few common interests he let me have 2 of these (fixture and all(fix HAD to go; to darn big to fit in my room!!)) for 40$!!!!

i ripped everything apart and set it up as a remote mh (i have no ignitors and can't get any until tomorrow) and i'm about to put a temporary plug on them to see if they work. the components look new, so i'm not worried. the guy gave me a deal, bc he knows whats up, that's why he's got them in the first place; he just switched to 1000w.

you must have been watching over me, you angel of a bear, or bear of an angel, lol. i cannot believe the luck! i'm still waiting to wake up!

~hypotheticle question~

can you use one ignitor for 3 ballasts? i don't think you can, but if you could, i'd be in biz!!

i gess you'll either be happy for me, or upset for the favor you did for me. i hope it is the first; i love the fact that you went out of your way for me. i'll be forever in your debt, and forever lovingly grateful!

thanx again and again, bear, love you loads, babe!!!

love, kp
