chillin chillin. went to the hydro store earlier to look at air pumps. gonna get one of the smaller commercial ones so i can keep the girls oxtgenated during the next grow...

and yourself pirate?
Awesome! I love buying new stuff for the grow.

I'm doing good, a bit sick though. I slept with the window open and it got cold. My kitty was all bunched up on my face when I woke up. I'm just kicking back doing some layered airbrushing.

I have just restarted my dwc after my 600w cfl melted and burned up.this is something people should be warned about big cfls.I had mine under a reflector and it melted the glue that held the tube to the ballast.The tube fell down and shorted out causing a small fire.If you position your light horizontaly keep a eye on the glue that holds the bulb to the ballast.
Back to my grow.I have sprouted some seeds of some old homegrown i used to grow outdoors.The seeds were slow in germinating,but i have six seeds under the lights now.I made my systems using two 8 gallon rubermaid tubs.I cut 3 holes in the tops for my 6 inch baskets.I am vegging under cfls and t5s at the moment,when i go to flower i will switch to 400w hid.
I am using gh maxigrow and maxibloom and will be using a sweetener when they go into flower.
Both of my digital cameras are broke so no pics.OPH :cry:

Thanks, I'm going to the store and get my things for the cloning tonight.
I'll tell you in the morning now it went..




U dont have to water from the top as long as U place ur water level @ or a lil above the bottom of the pot. I have 4 8 inch stones in mine on 2 pumps. Bubble penetration forces plenty enuff water up into the rock and keeps it "moist" Not WET. They will look damp.
Ive told people in the past to take it easy on the water until they get a feel for it. I suggest sometimes to water from the top only to help people out in not damaging or prolonging seedlings and clones.THey like air at this stage.

Once my Roots pop out and begin growing down or into the water I back my water off to 1/2 inch below the pots.
I begin feeding when they hit the water.

I do not place my clones in the cup in the dark. Never had to. They get placed directly on the side of the mom right after the Cut,Scrape, And dip process.
However, I just attemted a method of another grower here using upside down peat plugs.A nursery tray, A horticultural heat mat and a dome and acquired 100% success. The clones in the dome OLD in the ways style actually cloned quicker.Im addopting his method to keep my tubs full. This method does require 12 hrs of darkness before hitting lights and u dont dome them or place them on the mat until they are ready for light.
I would suggest anyone tho, To get a lil practice with the cup first, Learn what to expect and get some confidence in cloning before trying a more difficult Method.

In the end its all really simple. I used to make it alot harder than it should be.
Hope that helps bro.

And it not a problem we all goof of alot but we are all here to help.
