Glad to see you got your defs work out, Danny. You may have lots a few lowers but they will be fine. Veg plants are very forgiving. Looking good. Vegging that long will pay off in the end.

I'm trying the new sure-to-grow cloning cubes instead of rockwool. I'll let you all know how it goes. I generally get roots in 6-10 days in wool with butric acid so we will see how these compare. Only thing different i'm doing this time is the medium. I will say that they don't wick at all so make sure the stem is deep enough to get water from the bottom few cm of the pad. I've got the cloner inserts too, but no cloner yet. I'm trying 1 hand watered just to see. I like the presplit. I might make a cloner just to try them as intended, :lol:.

Awesome. Def let us know how they work, as I'm a bit concerned as you stated they don't wick up moisture well. Whats the stated advantage of these vs rockwool cubes? Good luck! :)

The advantage so far is no pre-soaking. Make up you cloning water (tap with superthrive) and dip the cube to moisten. I like being able to squeeze the water out of my cubes, too. Can't squeeze wool without crushing the vital air pockets. Getting wool to the right moisture level used to me flicking my wrist until the cube felt the right weight. Carpel-tunnel, lol. My salad spinner does a right nice job. :lol:

The circular cloner inserts really got me intrigued.

These WR I have are almost time fer a good flushing. Vegged fer 10 days, flowering fer 63 days. They are grown under a new LED that I am testing, not the red and blue ones, this is a white LED.
On cloning why do you use the dips? I have not used anything except a clean sharp blade and a home made clone bucket. I run straight tap water no nutes. I have roots within 4 days, 6 days at the most. Never had any issues. Someone was trying to sell me some cloning dip and said I should see roots within a week. I told him that all the clones I did I never once used that stuff. He was pi$$ed and left. LOL I love pi$$#ng off salespeople.

The rapid rooter cloner's OK, it keep your plugs from falling over. lol But there's no real advatage to getting a tray that fits a dome.

If you're thinking of getting one of those "aero-rooters", I'd advise against them. The stems on your clippings have to be too big.

I just recently heard something about a rooting spinner. Let me know how it works & what your averages are.

Do you root in plugs? Is so, which plugs do you use? And how do you air out the dome if at all?

I agree that the dips are 100% optional. I've got LOTS of clones with nothing but rockwool, water, a stem, and a heating pad. I find the butric acid dips like clonex do help to make the roots more profuse when they do drop. I see no benefit day 1-7. Day 7-14 there is a bonus. But again, optional.

Domes are optional too. I've never used a dome and don't plant on starting any time soon. Some strains wilt a little after cutting but they always recover in about 24 hours or so.

If I get a cloner (or just make 1) it will be because I'm a lazy stoner at the core and hand watering each cube has finally gotten to me :lol:

Hey guys do you guys have any idea where i could get like a small oscillating fan this time of year?

Wal mart always has 6 inch fans in the auto section, they are 12 volts with a cig lighter plug (I use 2 of em) so you have to have a 12 volt pwr supply to run em but they are fairly cheap like $12
