im stoked i want to startalready lol ...... i think mine is gonna go a little slower at first i think i will be rooting with clonex gel and rockwool cubes ...which usually takes me about 10 -14 days before roots and maybe a few more for prolific roots ....i know you guys with those tuned in aero cloners get roots in like 5-8 days or somethin right ...hehe i need to make one of those ....

so i got a question can a newly rooted clone handle like goin into bloom right after roots or do they need to be eased in to it ....

Well Doktor I have an aero cloner as well but for the sake of the contest I will use clonex gel and rockwool as well. Takes me just about the same time for roots, I don't know about loudblunts but at least in the 1000w class you and I will be fair as far as a start goes.

I treat the rooting period as a veg state and just throw em in when the roots pop, jut keep the lamp real high 30''-60'' at first so you don't shock em to bad

Um, there feed tubes, A pump at the bottom of the DWC pumps aerated (there's an aeration hub on top of the pump) nutrient solution back up into the side of the net cups and it drains back down along the roots into the tank. That way I can put newly cut clones with no actual root system directly in there and I don't ever need to hand water it. I just plug the tube into the side of the rockwool and since there's an aeration hub the plants are always getting oxygen so they won't damp off. I find it works great, good for starting seeds too. Also have 4 12 inch airstones at the bottom.

I did the moms from seed bro in an 18 gallon DWC tub. I gave the moms 30 days of veg time.. For now on I will be sticking to my usual rule of 2-3 weeks tho cause some of them are going to top out at 5.5 feet tall before its over.. U cant tell in the pix but a few kolas are actually bent over and growing back up to the light now. Theres only 3 gals in the overall pic.. The last 2 pix bottom right are going to be my JLP sour OGK enteries. Probably 2 ten gallons packing as many cuts in the lids as i can.. LOL BTW i have since downsized tub to a 10 gallon for head room.

Click to expand...

the only reason i would use the aero cloner, is if i even finish my crop. that was a rough estimate of when my crop is gonna be done...moreover, if i dont finish my crop before the 31st.... and i still want to enter, ill just aero clone to catch up with yall and get on the ball.





i think the white russians still got like 30 more days to go... they love to fatten up in the last few. they are well on their way to 2L coke bottle colas.... donkey dick colas!!!!

:hump:

colas everywhere :hump:

i dont think it would be unfair to use aero cloner i think everyone should be allowed to propagate there own way ....that is a nice lookin plant ther loudblunts

i forgot do you do like aeorponics or do you have a flood table ?

both.

i dont have room for full out flood tables right now...thas why i built smaller flood tables in my cab. sized them down big time. unfortunately...my SOG cab is not in operation right now...only the mother side is to keep lots of mothers of different strains in a small space
