Thats exactly what i was thinking!!!!!
Ya. I mean this shits easy. Unless your doing it for a joband you want the absolute maximum best result. Otherwise you could grow in soil from your yard and piss in the dirt and come out with decent result. I mean I have hibiscus on my porch that I barely pay any attention to and they do great. Granted in don't plan on smoking them but just as a point of reference plant growing is easy.

Sorry guys I haven't been able to get on here that much, the fucking mother inlaw is here so I can't do as much! But all the clones look great! They just look like mini plants now. It has been 24 hrs so I would think if they were going to die I would see some indication by now. No worries though if a few die I will take more!

The brown tips I think is from a little too much ferts. I am not too worried about it, they have been there for a little while. They got there when I was a 50% and jumped it up to 75% strength. Two of them didn't like that! LOL But now I am trying to keep it right around 45% str. They are half way through flowering and doing great! buds are growing well and getting frosty looking so I am happy. I hope soon I will have to tie them up cus they are getting too heavy!!! :) every growers dream!

Just make sure they stay humid they should be fine.
Yeah they are in a homemade humidity dome. I took a 6 in duct adapter and put plastic wrap over it with a rubber band. That fits perfectly over my 6 little clones in their rapid rooters that are in about 1/8th to 1/4 in of watter. So they suck up the right ammount of water and the plastic wrap is always foggy. I also spray them with water and I am also spraying their mothers with water. Just to try it out.

Sounds like a good setup. I may steal a page out of your book. I love diy. I'm bout to start some cloning. I'll have about 8 I plan on taking.

And here are my girls 36 days into flowering. Just watered them, I am watering them about ever 2-3 days now. They are comming along now and starting to stink. They had a pepper smell to them before but now they are starting to get sticky and smell more like weed! :) I am just glad I haven't run into any problems!

Yeah I put them on 12/12 when they were from 13-16 inches and my tallest one stretched to 36 in in the first two weeks. So if you have height restrictions you may have to switch them. It also deppends on your strain that you are growing and how much they stretch.

Wow, those colas are looking real good. Tall and fat. In about four weeks you should have some real dense cola buds to show off. I like that humidty doom. Those ducts have so many application lol. Many ppl make reflectors out of them. Clones look good too. I think I can see some new growth on them. Very nice man.

Thanks bro, if you read this forum through and through you will get good results! You also have to spend money to make money so if you go cheap you will get cheap shit in the end. This is my first grow and I figure I have around $1,000 into it so far. I also spend alot of money on water, I only use distilled so it isn't too much but i am burning through at least 6 gal a week. But keep an eye on your PH all the time!!! And use the right soil and ferts and you will be fine! GL brotha and I hope you get bigger buds than me!! ;)

Yeah those girls are coming along nicely.That homemade humid dome is a very good idea.Glad to hear the bubbas made it.
Thanks widow, I am also pleased with how they are comming along. I need to get a 100x magnafier cus I think they are about half way done so I am going to need to know when to flush these ladies out. Can't wait to take these war pigs down. My bubba parrent plants are root bound and they are not happy so I am going to just cut them at the stock and try to get it to grow roots! Just a test run, but I want to save them for mother plants so it is this or kill them.

Hey Howard. I've done some research on root bound. It isn't a uncureable problem. Root pruning in gardening is a very common practice. If your bubbas are root bound, simply take them out of the pot, and cut off half or a third of the root ball. Ruff up the rootball a bit, rub some soil on the bottom, then replant. Best to put in a larger container, but I know your strapped for space in your veg box, so just replant in the same planter with new soil at the bottom. The roots will grow again, contrary to what many say on this board. I've come up with the term "stoner misnomer" for the misinformation that seems to fly around these boards. No need to cut all or most of the roots off. Here's a simple vid that explains: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3BlQZF7xVA

I accidently did this with my two plant when transplanting. I ripped out about third of the bottom roots due to the heavy watered soil. I thought I killed it, but three days laters my girls shot the fuck up and have never looked better. It works bro.

Thanks for the thought, but I think I will need them to last about another 3-4 weeks so I think that is a temporary fix and I need a long term fix. On the bright side 5 of the six clones have roots comming out of the rapid rooters. :) So that went well. What I am going to do with the bubbas is chop them down and basicly just treat the whole plant as a clone! LOL we will see if this works. If they die I am sure that I have six clones from them already so I am not out really anything! Got nine plants from 3 seeds so far so I am happy.
