Awsome speero78.... Great looking plants, and nice healthy roots on those new clones. Glad the cloner worked it's magic for you. Rock

Speero78- 75-78f is probably fine. My research on general hydroponic growing showed 75f to be the top of the acceptable temp range. Remember that warm roots and cool leaves within reason is the place to shoot for quick root development. Who knows, you may find that water temps in the 75-78f...

Speero78- Awesome build !! Are you saying your water temps are at 25.6c (79.7f) ? How warm is your room? My water temps run right at around 74 - 75f and air temps at about 68f I'm in a basement so the room temps are a bit cooler than the main floor of the house. I'm not sure if 80f (25-26c)...

Speero78- Link to cheapo aerocloner would not work for me.... Go to youtube and search for "Stinkbud aerocloner" ( sorry.. do not know how to post a direct link to that) Mine was built with a Rubbermaid 31 gal. storage tub/fountain water pump/air pump & airstone/360 deg. spray noozles/2"...

Glad they are taking off for you now. I used to do all my clones in rockwool cubes, then moved over to rapid rooter plugs for the very same reason you were having moisture issues. I have now built a Aerocloner and have never looked back! You turn it on - load it with cuttings and walk away for...

Have found through trial & error that these things increased my sucess rate way up .... I PH my water to around 5.6 - 5.8 as the clones seem to root faster and more agressively in a slightly acidic range as compared to my untreated well water at around 6.8- 7.0 PH .... I set my trays on top of...

Vedder6- 50% mixture of 3% hydrogen peroxide and water works well as a spray to kill surface mold on top of soil and on plant leaves also. If you grow organic then don't drench the soil just spray the surface. If you drench the soil with this mixture it can kill off the good microbiotic elements...

Thanks BigJesse. - RockHopper

speero78- I have had issues in the past when transplanting rockwool cubes into soil. The rockwool cube tends to hold alot of moisture compared to the surrounding soil. If you are watering too often then the clones have no real reason to send roots out into the surrounding soil since they are...

Billy ... Have had luck with a product called Actinovate. I am growing a perpetual garden so it was a real bitch to get this under control. I am working off clones and like you did not want to lose the genetics I have established. This problem is systemic so all the foliar cures just knock down...

Just bought one at Home Depot. Its a fridgidaire 70 pint capacity with a outlet to connect a garden hose to and drain out seperate of the built-n bucket. Has digital readout and can be set to humidity settings from 35% - 80% or can be set to run continous if you are controling the power plug...

I'm a newbie here at this forum and also new to indoor growing. Here's my question.... I am thinking of using a wick system since I'm not always able to be around to water on a regular basis. I have access to some metal fabricated pans normally used as drip catchers for HVAC equipment. They are...
