Yeah i know, i'm figuring 80 degreeish right? I'm getting two exhaust fans and a thermostat for that room. Gonna bring cool air from another room in the house. The vent system was very simple but luckily there is a good amount of crawl space in my attic. Hopefully bringing the air into that room is enough to keep it cool.
Even 80 is a bit warm, my friend. 68-70 is best.:weed:

Okay heres my babies. Ive posted before on here, but they are in hydroton with perlite and a little coco fibers. All general hydroponics nutes with the expert feed program are being used. The clippings started in the 4x4 tray with plastic over a pvc frame to hold in humidity. 44 out of 64 made it and ive done almost all the triming im going to do in these pics... Think more trimming of some of the side branches?? Might be hard to tell in pics. Also I had a question about epsom salts. Last time I had a magnesium def. around week 5 especially in the purple kush plants. How much epsom salts should I add and when should i add them?? Was thinking about starting to add them around week 3-4 . . . ? :peace:

That should be enough nutes for your plants no need for Epsom salts try to stay away from that. YOU could however dissolve some in a spray bottle and flora feed if your worried about it.


Over all nice plants and set up. Good job !

Hey Guys,

Remember me.....I miss Al too. Nobody on here setting people straight. Just a bunch of kids and their Aerogardens from Bed Bath and Beyond. Friggin crazy.


Hey Bugs,

You said your yeild has been from a q-zip per plant. Those you yeilded a q from...were those your original crop that you had toasted and overpruned or are you still seeing as little as a q per plant from your smallest clones or what....break it down for me bro.

My first crop is 3-4 weeks away (in week 5)but its alot of plants, trying to guestimate what my yeild may look like (hoping for 2.5-3lbs)-84 plants under 1000kw-you think thats realistic??
Some of them are not the primo clones from my original batch when I lost many of my best cuttingss to the Not-So-E-Z-Cloner but many are picture perfect. All of my crops are on schedule now but I am using traditional cloning methods and I have turned my aero-cloner into an aero-vegger and it is used to give my cutting 4 days of veg time prior to moving to flower-cause i get 95-100% roots in 10 days.

I really want to post pics but I cannot-in fact I am rarely on here since reading that the servers are stateside. Perhaps I will post a few from a public cpu at some point. Would be nice to share the spoils with a community that can appreciate the work going into it.

Todays work:

Pruned lower third and long sideshoots on my youngest (1 wk. old) and my middle (3 wk. old) crops. A total of 144 plants were pruned. Adjusted (phototroped) crop on trays according to growth habits.

Cut 156 new clones.
3 trays of 36 will provide the 72 best cuttings for the next batch to flower.
1 tray of 48 will provide a selection to pluck top specimens for vegging into new mums.

Re-Organized over 70 mums in preparation for the next crop in two weeks.

Checked and adjusted ph in 3-70 gallon resevoirs, added Ca-Mg supplements to veg, added P, K, Ca, Mg supps in flower resevoirs.

2 days a week I have at least this much work to do, the rest of the days are 30 minutes to a few hours of work so it is not so bad. Been staring at a few of those buds that are already the size of beer bottles and looking forward to early december.:joint:

I'll be fuct for sure!

Holy Shit. :shock::shock: Nice job man. That's a lot of clones. You using ABF's cloning in rockwool?

84 is pushing it depending on the size of the space. That 1000 should cover a 20 sq ft. at 4 per sq/ft (only possible in SOG and even then that is pretty tight) that is 80 plants if they are cropped right. Pics would rreally help us estimate. Fed will not be taking down RIU anytime soon and even if they do it takes sucha huge court process to get records from ISP that they only do it in child porn cases. You are safe, I assure you. :blsmoke::leaf:

alrighty old....in a rush but i'll give a proper response later..........my messed up batches ....the last one comes out monday and 2 weeks after that is the 1st one that is perfect. and i will let you know....my last batch was lost to a mold problem due to humidity but i got a dehumidifier now so everything is otay. shitty yield i know but i will post as soon as my gpod ones hit the scale and these last bad ones....i like to have a worst case reference for my yields.

Yes, except for the the rockwool...I have been using Rapid Rooter Plugs or Sunleaves Starter Plugs and I use humidomes over my trays. But I have them on heat mats running 82-84degrees. 6-7 days to see roots, 10 days and I usually hit 100%

4-1kw lights service 3-8x4 Botanicare Trays with the help of light movers. The plants in each of the last 2 (weeks 5-6 & 7-8) trays are concentrated in a 24 sq.ft. (6x4) area with weeks 1-2 and 3-4 sharing a tray It ends up being 10-12 rows of 7 plants in the last 2 with 100% capacity in the first. (18 or 19 rows of 8 plants ) Plus I flower some back-ups on the ends of my other trays to have a better selection of vigorous, homogenous clones. 30-40 clones every couple weeks hit the bin......it pains me but has to be done.

Pics would rreally help us estimate. Fed will not be taking down RIU anytime soon and even if they do it takes sucha huge court process to get records from ISP that they only do it in child porn cases. You are safe, I assure you. :blsmoke::leaf:
mmmmmmm......over 300 plants in flower (as of next wednesday), 73 mums, over 150 unrooted clones at any given time and 120 freshly rooted clones vegging in my Aero-vegger (a.k.a. Not-So-E-Z-Clone)..........I think I will continue to take zero chances with security........but if and when I choose to post pics I will let you know.
:mrgreen:

:cry:Bummer dude....sorry to hear it......what was your humidity running??? I have been worried bout the dreaded Botrytis. My dehumidifier runs all night and intermittently during the day--trying to maintain mid 40% RH. I should not have to worrry about it with my RH under control huh???

Thanks for the input.

Have any of you guys used just hydroton for this method?? Had any problems with legginess or elongation? Im have serious stretch issues that the plants in placed soil in my grow room dont have.

Yes bugs just dont let it happen again! Like dogleef said cant have that! Lol Alright here it is. Just going to copy and paste some things i placed in a thread of mine.Right now its sad but only 2 clones in.I plan on filling the rest of the runway up in the next month or so but this Will give me a good idea what to expect i guess.

Consists of:
18 gallon rubbermaid tub
2 -30 gallon air pumps and 2- 6 inch stones ( going to split into 4- 6 inch stones later )
1- small submersilbe water pump ( 1-To keep nuts of the bottom of the tub and 2- For future water changes in which i will hook up a 20 foot 1/2 inch tube bought at local aquaria store, to run directly to the drain for basicly fast effortless draining of the res)
6- 5 inch net pots ( Will be placing 2 clones per pot cut directly from vegging mothers until root structure is built, then placing directly into flower mode) This info was passed onto me from bugs and sparks at there sog growers wanted thread)
Hydroton
Bonaicaire pro organic hydro veg and flower nuts
Also Kool bloom will be used for agressive flowering ( around week 2 of flower until harvest ) to fatten up nuggies and hopefully mature them faster.But will flush 2 weeks prior to harvest.
Im going to be sogging my latest unknown project that im sure bugs could appreciate in reference to his purple widow, im getting pink nuggies some how.

Hey toastie! Good to see you. :mrgreen:

We could not let the teachings of Al B go to waste. Must pass along the knowledge to those who seek it.

Remember....
