With clones... and a bit of gypsy magik... lol...

You gotta read man... it's all there... 100%, well 99%....

I'll be glad to help anyone do the same thing... but you have to want to do it yourself first...

Read read read... can't say that enough...

Do you have an AG?

LOL... I hear ya...

Tell you what... I will load a nice one for ya...

I'll wait about a minute from the time I post this and I'll hit it... should be about the time you get the email... lol...

But do tell... what was you snag last time?

and what's your set up for this go around...?

You working early? or late? I guess in America it could be anywhere from 11pm to 4am ... it's just past midnight here in AK...

Well, hit me back...

Nice I can taste it from here all the way on the East Coast. I had to go away for business for 2 weeks. The day before I left I give half the nutes I normally give just to be safe. My girlfriend calls me Thursday and tells me they're not looking good, leaves are turning brown but not dying. I took a flight home over the weekend and she was right; all the leaves brown PH went all the way up to 7. looks like I suffered from nute burn and lockout. I was pissed. I emptied my res and started flushing jumped on a plane and went back now waiting for this week to end so I can get home and see what I am in for. Its only bag seed because its my first grow, but all this time to have something go wrong now just sucks

Oh man... that does suck...

I read somewhere you are doing aero? rubbermaid tote?

Is it a DWC hybrid?

or a true aero?

Seems like you are trying to switch to the true aero eh?!?!

am I wrong?

ready for another one?

so whats the topic here?

my bad just linked here im on track now.

Always ready brother. Yeah it was all in one and I didn't like it. It seemed to be a pain to do res changes, testing the PH, PPM. The plants I have are so big you can't take the lid off. i want a separate Res with the pump in it piping it to the other Rubbermaid where the plants would be

even with a secound res tank to pump to there will still be a inch or too
of solution in the tank due to the pump and the shape witch leave water
in.

Welcome... and I agree... better to keep it DWC... just get a constant monitor...

Hellraizer30, a piece of this bud is going in the , in celebration of your visit...lol...

Even if I drill a hole in the bottom with 1/2 PVC or tubing? I really don't want to keep it DWC. It was a real hassle for me

I think a DWC is way more forgiving than aero, especially if you travel much...

a couple of hours dry, and your roots are dead...

I have had power failures with DWC, and survived without a scratch up to 6 hours without bubbles...

But I also believe that it worked out because my res is kept cool, very cool... too cool for some... but 58F to 62F works well...

what do you guys think of these roots?

So I figured this would be a good time for another comparison... lol...

The first picture was taken on 09/06/08...

The second picture is the same clone on 09/21/08...
Not bad for 15 days eh?!

All of the following pictures were taken just a few minutes ago... so almost 2 months have passed...

I am sorry I do not have a shot of the plant with the roots hanging down... They are about 5 feet long and I could not figure out how to get the shot without my hand on it... until I put it back and then I am not going to fuck with it anymore...

So... these are the shots you get ... but it should illustrate very well the current stat of affairs....lol...

Oh, and I have already taken 6 cuttings from this, before the pics...

The roots are the ones on the right, closest to you...

A backside shot, showing what is, in my opinion, the perfect "HPS veg stretch" for cloning...

This next photo reminds me of the Incredible Hulk for some reason...

Braids of Life...

And a final, close up shot...

Cheers...

sweet man, im smoking last cycles stash the freshies arent ready yet.

now if you raised the res and put that drain in instead of a secound
res just to emty it and run a h202 sulution to clean it your golden
pump just dont get it all out.

Im looking into the hydro aspect and been trying new things
the dcw is not one ive done, but ive done aero and flood tables
built to the same way ALBEFUCK does his and its working well
but im sure theres a faster way than a ebb and flow flood table
system.

I have roots like that too. I am using like a 36 gallon for 8 plants. I can't take the pots out because the plants are too big. Can't take the lid off because the plants are too big. My setup now is Aero until the roots hit the water and then its DWC


If you want to talk in my thread its cool. I feel like I am hijacking your thread

I started with the AG, so when I decided to expand, it was only natural to go with DWC...

I am very happy... it's basically like following a recipe... baking a cake...

but you must be able to follow the recipe... gotta have the ppm and ph down pat...

and heres the crop coming up and some of last crops smoke.

this is my soil setup alittle crude but it works
the flood tables are in the other room and
dont have pics yet will soon though
