Days of 18/6 : 31
Days of 12/12 : 0
ppm : 1890
pH : ~5.8
Well guys, here we are. Exactly a month since these beans sprouted. Two out of 6 have made it this far.
Got some goodies today... new digital thermometer/hygrometer, a couple of new airstones, another timer, and I even made some foam collars to use with my netpots for the attack of the clones. Oh yeah, I got some fresh razor blades and H202 for the hack-job. We'll soon see if I can keep my 100% clone survival rate in DWC with tap water and a little hydrogen peroxide.
Also... I have a candidate for a mother cabinet. Just some cheap-o particle board bookshelf. All I need is a can of flat white spray paint, some heavy plastic sheeting, velcro strips, and a fan or two. I already have the lighting once I order the HPS within the next 2 weeks or so. Until then I have some 20" 20 watt tube flouro's that I can use.
Pics!

The collars:
The veg box:

And a failed attempt to show the preflowers:

Thanks, Howak.
I think I'll get a can or two of paint on my lunch break tomorrow. And look for something to use as a tub for the eventual mother plant. That 3 gallon tub fits perfectly, but it's quite obvious you can't get two of them on the same shelf. Maybe I can find a can of kitty litter on the cheap at wally world that will be a good size.

Well... I have painted the new cabinet with one can of white primer and one can of flat white. I need to get another can or two as I am not satisfied with the coverage.
Took six clones yesterday on my break from work. Three from Emerald, and three from Violet. They're looking happy so far in their jacuzzi, not wilting at all.
I must stress the importance of having very sharp instruments when taking cuttings. I use a new straight razor, fresh out of the box to take cuttings. The cleaner the cut, the less chance of air getting in through the cut and preventing water uptake.
I'm confident I will keep my 100% clone survival score with this batch. But I must remember not to get complacent!
Anyway, sorry I don't have any pics to share, between work and psycho women I haven't had the time nor the inclination to do any photography. I'll get some pics up on my next day off.

All righty then! Finally good some super dank again which gave me drive enough to finish my clone/mother box. But where is it?
There it is! (note the astroglide next to my spurs cap, a little dab on the nozzles of airstones, valves, etc. keeps the tubes from sticking... also good for manual pleasure LOL)
Here are the little babies before the move to their new although temporary home.
And here are the big girls... The FIM job didn't take quite as well on Emerald on the left. Violet was hard to find the "top" so I got it right on that one.
Anyway fellas... everything is finally starting to come along. I am hoping to have the funds for my HPS within the next two weeks.
But I'm not waiting to flower until I get the HPS. As soon as the clones root, I will move four of them back into the tent and then flip the lights in the clonebox to 12/12 to see what I've got. I should be seeing roots in the next 4-5 days.
I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, the shitty part about getting the green was that I had to go outside of my normal circle. But I found a better guy to do business with. He has better stuff and he charges less. Juve (pronounced hoo-vay) will be getting my business from now on.
The good part about it is that it has been DRY DRY DRY around these parts for quite a while. If it stays like this, that means I'm gonna charge more, LOL!
Oh, and from previous experience... I am 90% sure that Violet is a girl.

Right on. I like meeting new people. It can be nerve racking though. I moved to the city about 2 years ago. Over an hour away from most people I know. I've met a few different people in that time. I finally met a guy I've been talking about 8 months now. I've never had to wait on him, and get pretty good deals on mids.
I keep forgetting that she has already shown pre-flowers.

One of my guys has been dropped from my call list. His phone was off for three days.
He calls me today and says, "I was in jail."
Never calling that guy again, lol.

I've been there!
After a couple of days of him not answering his phone. I went to his house to hear that he had been arrested. The fkd up part is how. We lived in the country, they were in the nearest city, not a big one. They got pulled over and the cop said he smelled weed and wanted to search the car. So he jumped out of the back seat and ran. About 3 blocks away, a girl sitting at a stop sign saw him running from the cop and pulled out and hit him!! They only found what he had in his pockets. when he was cuffed in the cruiser he pulled out the oz of coke (don't tough the shit my self) in his sock, and stuffed in the back of the front seat with his foot. They found and charged him with it anyway. That was about 2 months before I moved, got smoke from him for 4 or 5 years. But haven't talked to him since.

Yep... we can't afford to hang around with people entangled with the law with our hobby.

Hey Diggity. In using that dwc set up for a cloner...when you take a cutting, are you supposed to put the bottom of the cut stem actually in the water or just leave it slightly above the water level? Can't find this info anywhere and I'm trying to use my aerogarden to clone and I realized that I have no clue as to the answer.
Looks like the girls are really coming along now man. Very nice.

Ok, so it's been a few hours since I said I'd go take some photos. Which I did actually do right then. But then I got a text saying someone has "Jack Hair." Do I need any?
Need... no. But I'll take 7 grams anyway since I'm current on my bills and now I have some really good bud to last me the next 2-3 weeks if I ration properly! Yay!
I'm so fucking stoned right now, but if you do not possess patience, you are in the wrong hobby. Sorry for the delays, here are my bitches....
We have Violet on the left, and Emerald on the right.
Here they are from the side. Notice how the FIM took on Violet and not so well on Emerald.
Emmy before she got pinched:
And after a pinch and a twist we have this
These kids are drinking about 2 quarts a day and I have been adding zero nutes. PPM just keeps going up as the water level goes down, so I just dose it with pH'd tap water and. It was at 2100ppm at noon today, added two quarts of water and brought it down to 1700ppm. They look to be very happy. And so am I.
Violet is getting so bushy, I decided to trim off the old crusty fan leaves that were a result of pH being too high. She's much prettier now.
Clones are chillin in their tub. The clone in the front left and the one in the rear right will probably be the best of the batch.
Anyway... I can't really string thoughts together into coherent sentences at the moment, so I am gonna take a break from this and wait for thoughts and comments....
Keep it green fools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
