I made a cloner just like that! But never got anything to root so I scraped it. Hopefully you will have better luck.

So how do the preflowers look??? Are the buds starting to set?

CG do you use any kinda foliar feed? I like to use a lil super thrive and some light flower nutes at bud set.

Hello, And good morning to you my friend :)

The preflowers are starting to develop nicely.

The leaves are getting that cool vertical look at the tips.

Much faster than before. :mrgreen:

I dont use any foliar feed whatsoever, think I should? Does it really help? hmmmm. :roll:

I try to stay away from Superthrive when my girls go into flower.

I have heard numerous reports that it actually inhibits flowering, and or prolongs flowering when into bloom cycle.

I use a drop per gallon all the way til I hit the switch..

But, then again..

When I first started to grow in soil,
I used to dump a capfull of ST At every watering. And my plants were HUGE :)

So,
Its a debateable subject.. Ya know.

I will have to do an experiment with ST next time :)

Whatta ya think? I think its a GO!!!:hump:

Peace :peace:

I built a very similar cloner. Mine is more of a rubbermaid container, but not the clear kind it's solid so it keeps the light out. I used a 1/2" drill bit and drilled about 15 holes in the top. I'm using two of the 2-valve air pumps from Wal-Mart. This gives me optimum bubble action. I have a 100% success rate cloning this way, but I think the magic actually comes from Dip n' Grow. That's what I use as my cloning agent. Usually within 3 to 4 days I'm seeing roots.

LMFAO!! Heeheehee! :bigjoint:

Yea, I like the cool visual of neon.

My house is covered with it, and I like anything to do with "Ferrari".

As you can probably tell. Hahaha!

Yea, that ST is the shit, I love the stuff myself.

I just dont know how well it works with the bubblers.. Just wanna be careful the first round, Ya know...

Without a doubt, the stuff makes my Girls way bushier, and overall healthier.

The ST experiment will be a good one.

Ill use a capfull at each feeding next time.

Ya know DF,

The soil plants are actually doing real well with the Fox Farms and there honestly trying there best to catch up..

Hmmmmmm.. Interesting. Still not as big as the bubblers.

But, shit.. Hmm.

Good Morning Shinedog,

Glad to see ya around. :)

Pull up a chair and take a toke with us.bongsmilie

Yea, I built a clear type, and it did work.

But, I didnt like the light coming on through to the roots, thats why I built the black bubbler bucket cloner..

I got roots in about 6 days with the clear plastic cloner.

But, Im sure the light cut down the growth of the roots.

So, how ya doing?

CG do you plan on trimming up some of that lower stuff? Or let the bush be free?
What kinda pumps do you use?

Just got done correcting the ph on all buckets.. A bit on the low side.. Now, there all at about 6.0 once again...

Added about a gallon of ph'ed water to each bucket... Really drinking it up now..

Im adding about 2 gallons of water to each bucket, every week.

I wonder how much they'll drink when there in the end of the bud cycle.. Fuck!

Alot of work, especially since I gotta do each bucket individually...


The funny thing is,

I already trimmed em up about a week ago, and they grow their "bush" out like never before. Maybe they like to sport the european look..I dunno

I got rid of all the small stuff, but the foliage is kicking in hard.

I better take another look at em huh?

I use the General Hydroponics Dual Diaphragm air pump.

Another look at the Glass Slipper Clone growing like mad in a dwc Bubbler... I dont know, I may do 8 Glass Slipper plants in seperate 5 gallon buckets under my 1000 watt hortilux and grow em out to about 4 1/2 feet... This superior growth at the moment is under 2 low wattage t5 florescent bulbs. Can you imagine what this lil' clone will do under a thousand watts? The growth rate has never been this good in soil. I may rethink my whole plan here... This is a GS clone a little over 2 weeks, this includes the rooting process. Look at the difference in size between the Bubbler clone and the clone planted in soil... A major difference. I may go to the hydro store and grab some more buckets and air stones, and say the heck with soil and never look back. Iam just following the directions on the Fox Farm Hydroponics Feeding chart... Total success!!! :clap: I can Honestly see big differences each day. This girl is over 8 inches tall already, and getting bushy.

Hey Bro,
I was admiring your grow - but let me ask a question - are you just starting your clones in DWC - then transplanting into soil? Have you ever ran one the whole length in DWC? With that kind of growth I would definitely give it a shot! Carry on:bigjoint:

At the beginning of this grow, I did use rockwool and a humidity dome to root my clones.

Grew em out for a minute in soil, and transplanted directly into the bubblers.

Now, I have converted entirely to dwc, this includes cloning.

A few pages back in this thread, you will see the bucket I built just for the rooting of the clones.

Iam now 100% Hydro, except for 4 plants Im growing out in soil along with the bubblers for comparison.

Im using the same exact nutes for all the girls :)

Just different methods.

Thanks for checking out this thread.

CG :)

Ive been playin around alot with lollipopin. After having a couple harvest under my belt, I can tell you I hate trimming all around the lil buds. I leave about a good foot of foliage from the top and trimm the rest. I trim once when I start flower and another one about two weeks later. If it doesnt reach the top its gone. I end up with alot of nice 1/8th oz nugs.

How do you like those pumps, I was wanting to get a couple of those to do everything. Right now I run one dual outlet large pump, the ones you find at walmart, per bucket. Id like to get a big ass one but im worried because i heard the where loud.

Word..

I like the pump Im using, and I bought it because it puts out a good amount of air, and its shhhhhhh.. Quiet.

I was thinking of getting a big bad ass pump, but, in return you hear a serious buzz.. And its nothing like a ballast.

Low key grower.. :wink:

Hey CG,
I have some questions about caregiving? So you have to reg with the state. Do you have to tell them how many people you are caring for? Can you take as many people as you want? Do you sell to dispenserys or just to a you people? How much do you sell to your people for compared to club prices and street value? Just curious....

In my case, I have to have a copy of the patients drivers license and permit.

I dont sell... I get a donation which makes it perfectly legal :)

Its for a patient who has epilepsy.
