Hey Sparky & Bugs. I had a little delay again. What's that? You're not suprised? Assholes. 
Did u all miss me?
I missed u 
Anyways, here is what happenned. I tried to sprout my Herer seeds and they popped open and a brown tail came out of one and that was the only movement I ever saw from them
. I complained to Attitude and they hooked me up, they said I was one of many that complained about them. What a relief that was, I just complained about a prior batch of seeds that nearly the same thing happened to and I thought they would say I was trying to rip them off, but they didn't question me for a second. What a great company! I had to wait for a fresh batch from Sensi and Sagamartha which took three weeks, but I finally got word that they are being shipped today.
I was so mad, I wanted to give up, but after further review I'm gonna give it a couple more tries.

ok, havent updated in a while so here goes. my 1st harvest was....blah and this one is shaping up to be even worse. 5.6 ounces wet so around 1.4 or more dry.
then i only have 1 more harvest to go before all the damaged crops are out of rotation. but anyway here's what it looks like now in the op. lots going on and just retired 2 moms and have 6 more growing in their place. i'll be ritiring 2 more in a few weeks.
but i must say that it looks nice in there now. not barren
shitty ass camera. this is one of the bigger ones minutes before harvest.
this is a wide shot....front is gettin chopped and right behind it are the last stunted ones.
and these are perfect. budding growing not stunted or overpruned. but wont be ready till december.
and as wide as i can get .....all my girls and 2 mommas i retired today.
here are the 6 that will replace all my ,mums in a month
and i'm sure you'll all be happy to know that i am back to not being able to clone worth a damn. these are all 20 days old. i just dont understand.
here they are chopped and laid out.
these are the biggest ones.....whoopdeedoo
a lil close up of a "big" one.....lol
anyway there you go. lemme have it guys. but know this. i made these mistakes that caused these sub-parr buds 6 weeks ago.

BUGS, I know you love your aerocloner, but they are unstable for our line of cloning. They will root, but the times will vary. You should give RW one more chance...
before you shitcan those moms do a practice round...
Here is what I am going to do step by step. If you follow these instructions there is no way you can fail, but u cant take any shortcuts.
Tools NEEDED!!!:
Salad Spinner $5, Digital Scale $25, spray bottle $1, thermostat outlet $40, 4"duct fan or 3-4"axial fan $25, flourescent light source (two 2' tubes $25), two rubbermaid bins
Set a fan to exhaust air when temps hit 85-89F
That way it stays nice and warm in there from the light but won't go over 90F (temp NEEDS to be over 80F!!).
Wet your RW cubes til they are 4x their dry weight. If your RW cubes weigh 5g dry on the digital scale they should weigh 20g wet w/o the clone in.
Place clones in box 2 inches from light.
That is all the easy part. The part where people start making the mistake is when they rewater the cubes. That is why I do it with a spray bottle.
You never want the cube to be more wet than when it started at 20 grams. Therefore u should know how many sprays it takes get about 10 grams of water into the cube (figure between 5-10g of water will be left in the cube. My bottle pumps out a gram per spray, so i know ten sprays is 10g of water.
Pending on how much your fan is on will depend on how often u should water.
I usually have to every day, I pick each one up individually to check. if they feel like they still have a little water in them I only give them 0-5 sprays, if they feel pretty dry I give them 10, and if they feel like they are bone dry I give em 15 then recheck every 12-24 hrs. To water them I just open the tip of the spray bottle up so it shoots in a stream, then i aim for the spot the stem enters and the water will spread itself out.
Here is the easiest way to make a clone box I have found. These are 32gal, and they could be a little smaller
Here is the inside of the top tub.
I hope this helps someone, by the time I need to use this stuff I will have forgot how to do it so this will help me in the future.

Whats up fellas, i finished with my veg cabinet. It looks so dope to me. Can you guys offer some recommendations on what type of nutrients to use for my vegging cycle?
I'm thinking NovaGrow or the 3 part Flora Micro/bloom/flower. I think of all the parts of the growing process this is the area i least understand. For the 2x3 tray. Since i need a 40 gallon res for a 4x4 tray i figure a 20 gallon res would work. But should i use a lessor amount of water? ya know to save nutrients? I'm only planning on having 6 mothers in this area and thats it. I'm taking someone's advice, probably one of you guys, and doing a perpetual cycle. But at the moment i only have two seedlings going, they'll be the first mothers. I'll need to start with a lessor concentration i know to start. What do you guys think?
Oh and my first strain is gonna be skunk.

If I were to run a 2 week harvest system and only took 6 cuttings every 2 weeks, which wattage hps light would I need for my flowering room? Would one 400w or 600w be able to handle the 24 plants that would be under it at a time? If not, how many plants max. could be placed under a 400w or 600w light respectively growing SOG style?
