was keeping a log on my computer... just thought i would post it here to if anyone cares to follow along!!

- 2 2' T5's on 24hrs
- tap water
- ph start @ 5.4
- Pump on around 15/15 minute on/off cycles (for water temp purposes)
- air stone on 24hrs


February 15th (Monday):

Filled the aero cloner with tap water and adjusted the Ph to 5.4 and turned my pump and timer on for 15 minute intervals. Letting it run for about 24 hours with the net pots in, but the collars out to get my water temps up a bit and let some chlorine evoporate if it needs to.

February 16th (Tuesday):

Cut clones, let them sit in cool tap water for about an hour then put them into 2" neoprene collars and put those into 2" netpots and placed them into the aerocloner running my timer in 15/15 cycles.
Ph 5.6

any strain of most plants can be cloned.
the healthyier the easy they take shock.
i found ak 47 to be easy to grow even if you fuck up

considering god bud for future grow currently growing mango [b.c.-seedking] how is g/b working out???& how is taste & high??? just curious never used aero-cloner i use foil bake dish with plastic dome & rapid-rooters & trying out rockwool cubes too got roots in 2 weeks 100% i grow 9 plants at a time so ill probably keep using this method i have to admit ive seen some nice root growth using aero-cloners

We have take off!! ..... can see all the little root bumps ready to burst out on most clones, even had a full root shoot out one of the clones.

Ph 5.6 (added some ph down yesterday)

water temp has been sitting and a warm 76 degrees

i have not gotten to try it out yet :( ... i usually do outdoor and decided to jump into aeroponics. I god 12 seeds from bc bud depot and germed 6 or them... 4 turned out to be female ... showed really strong and early pre flowers, so that was also a bonus. So i cut these clones, and as soon as i have some rootage (which i have now) i am chopping down my God Bud mother plant i grew out and i am gonna attempt a LST idea have in my head inside a grow tent. Gonna try and fit a God Bud and a Super Lemon Haze mother in a 2x4 grow tent trained under a wire mesh.. neatly too. I will probably start to germ them all this weekend ... my 5 fem'd SLH seeds came in last week (props to Attitude who made my "dvd" make it from London to Canada in 6 days including the weekend.)

February 25th (Thursday) (Day 9):

- i can see where roots are trying to push out on most of the clones, plus a couple of roots broke through on a another one of the clones

- did a res change today and dropped the Ph down to 5.4 (didnt add any AN Jumpstart yet... gonna wait for the Ph to jump back up a bit)

btw it is pretty neat getting to watch a root grow out of a branch (without a growing medium)

here's pic of my cycle timer that my water pump is running off that i made if anyone cares lol... cheapest one i could find in stores was about $120cdn ..... and i needed 2 ($240), one for my aeroponics scrog i built, which these baby's are going in ... but thats another journal soon to come ;) ... so i found some schematics on the internet ... went and spent $40 and built myself 2 .

March 4th (Thursday) (Day 17):

- all the roots have formed (100% success)

- some very minor ph tweaks over the last couple days, just to keep it around 5.5 (tried to keep it steady)

Conclusion:


Compared to using the traditional clones under the dome method, this is so much easier to maintain. Just keep an eye on your ph, do a res change and take some pictures if you want. Thats it. It took me more effort to keep a log of it, lol. About 6/8 clones would have been ready to stick into rockwool cubes after the 8th or 9th day. I might have sped up the process a big with a little bit higher of a room temp, room temp was sitting at around 63.


I will be throwing these babies in a custom built PVC Aeroponics Scrog...... will start the journal for that in about a week or two.

Good stuff Kabona...have you grown the God Bud before? What do you think of it?
sad to say i have not actually gotten to smoke it yet... i just grew out a mother and i cut these to stick in my aeroponics systems for flowering... kind of excited i guess.... gotta support the canadian companies..eh?... although i usually order from greenhouse....

Word. Ive heard good stuff about God Bud...the real reason I ask is because I've been wanting to try some Cheesus, which is God Bud crossed with Big Buddha Cheese.

Anyway, best of luck with the grow, and keep us posted on your progress! :leaf:
