went shopping at the hydro store and bought some cloning supplies (rapid rooter plugs, tall ventillated humidity dome, Root Tech cloning gel and 12 ez clone replacement misters. I'm going to construct a DIY aeroponic cloner. Tomorrow I will pick up another rubbermaid tote and some 1/2" pvc pipe and assortment of fittings. I also picked up 2" netpots, 2" neoprene discs for rooting cuttings.

I also went to a head shop today and picked up a nice lil' vaporizer...gotta say, i absolutly love vaping now...def gonna be my method of smoking! I'll ninja post some pics later :)

Glad to see youre finally back online!

Yeah guys, vaping is totally the way to go! Yeah, its a lil $$$ but, in the long run, it saves $$ too. You don't have to put alot of bud in the pipe to vape...and it vapes for a long time! I got higher than i usually do on 1 bowl than smoking a whole blunt! That should help put things into perspective! Plus, you can vape nugs right off the plant fresh!
Mine cost me $135 bucks (entry level) and I dont use a bag...feels too un natural to me, plus when I use the whip it feels more like smoking...I feel like the caterpiller on the mushroom in Alice in WOnderland! LoL

I also took 7 more clones today...I'll have to get pics up on here when Im not feeling so GD lazy!

I have a total of 9 clones right now going...I threw the mother into the flower room to she how she produces :)

Clones are from female bagseed unknown strain...

Oh, and I almost forgot...I threw in 2 seeds ( 1 fem Bubba Kush and 1 The Purps) into rapid rooter plugs. I'll wait 3 weeks and put the seedlings into hydro.
Thanks for following along!

Heres a few pics to update...7 clones under the mondi dome, 2 fem Big Bud sprouts in DWC along with 4 week old fem Big Bud and Bliss mature clone...

Pic of my flower room with my 2 5 gallon bubbleponic systems with Bliss plants. 1 mature Bliss clone and 1 unknown sex Bliss (still, i'm starting to get impatient with it).

pic of my new vaporizer...works great! Won't smoke outta anything else now...!

I'll take clones from my Big Bud in 2 more weeks...my indoor grow is really starting to look like a full blown operation!

Hope all is well with everyone!

So wheres your 400w? What are you planning on doing with it?

lol,nice on the clones! I wish I had room to keep a mother and just pull clones off of her!


Im planning on switching to 1/2 nutes today. Im so not ready to,lol! I gotta go buy 10 more gallons of water. I dont know where Im going to put the babies while I empty and refill the RES's... Gotta figure that out in the next few hours...

i'm using my 400 watt'r for vegging...

i usually just have my wife hold the plants while i flush the res...only takes a coupla mins and a coupla hands to get it done...the plants' roots like to have an air bath for a coupla mins...its good for em'...

I didint know they liked some air.

DLC will be here to help so Ill let him hold while I flush : )

Im useing "Ionic Big Bloom" n-p-k is 3-2-6

I love it. I have some sugar peak that im not using. Its for soil. I guess Ill sell it or just keep it for if I do another soil grow. I dont plan to. But just incase I guess. Lol!

so i bought some 15x salvia divinorum extract yesterday...i wanted to see what the hype was all about...well...it really works! I put it in my vape and puffed on it for like 2 mins...i was listening to the beatles white album while smoking, and I thought i was right there with all four of them! I cannot explain what the effects of salvia feels like, but I like it...its intense! only lasts for a coupla minutes tho...alot of $$ to spend on a quick high. 30 bucks a gram...better off just getting weed....but its fun if you dont have any weed...

Oh kool. The Ionic Big Bloom and the Flora nova bloom were the two best ones that the guy at the hydro shop suggested to me and DLC.


Kool, How do you like it? I love the Ionic. : )

Do you have any salt build up?
