im using bell lighting non air cooled reflectors with regular hortilux super hps bulbs. to be honest the only hard work i got really starts when i trim cause as far as transplanting goes i can transplant all those clones in like 45 minutes lol. you wouldnt fuckin believe how long it took when i was doin ebb n flow with rockwool cubes it seriously takes me like 5-6 hours. i always wanted to do aero with no medium and now the apollo allows me to do thisYour right on with only using the clone solution. You just dont need the b-52 that early. I use the bloom formula for veg because i was getting some weird leaf spotting in veg. I switched back to bloom and no more issues. If you are getting roots in 3 1/2 days then your turnaround time in the apollo is getting really efficient. You can see where it pushes production if you can get in on schedule. I have a buddy who has 2 of those 66 site apollos and 2-120 site cloners and hes always stoked. He has plenty of down time. But, when the work starts, it really starts.lol Congrats on our first apollo run. What lights are you using?
i wanted to get your thought on one more thing willy. the creator of the ez cloner has instructions and heres what he says
"Next, I add my solutions. The first one is Dyna Gro’s – ProTekt. This is a silica based solution that strengthens the cuttings from the inside out. It assists in building stronger cell walls, preventing the formation of bacteria and invading fungi, and helps with overall health and vigor. I add it at dilution rate of 1 teaspoon per gallon. In a large 120 cutting unit, this equates to be approximately 20 teaspoons. In a 60 cutting unit, it equates to 10 teaspoons, and in a 30 cutting unit, it equates to be about 5 teaspoons."
this is the reason i wanted to add silica in the cloner in the first place it sounds like it could be important. do you think i should still not add silica and just cut out the b-52? i wish i could figure out if the barricade had anything to do with my problems cause it sounds like its a very good product to use in the cloner to keep bacteria and stuff away. are plants/clones easily burned if too much silica is used?
