Thank you for the picture as well I really do appreciate it.

Im going to watch this grow, very interesting to see somebody who hasn't grown in decades to have pro set up with healthy plants. Jealous. Keep it up beer belly!
 
Went to the culinary mega store to pick up some knives I was having sharpened and found these 2 strainers and thought I tinker with them to make a jumbo tea ball.

Put them together with a bolt and wing nut and a couple pieces of surgical tubing

They hold a good amount of EWC

I'm gonna give it a try tomorrow

Think it may be to coarse we'll see.
Also scored this nice 4 L mixing bucket.

$12 bucks for all three. The mixing bucket was $8 more at the hydro store.

Your bro on the grow :weed:

I like herbies for all the freebies and the possible stealth options. Nice collection, I have the pinapple chunk mothers growing in my veg right now.

As I have Zero experience with any other seed companies I was pretty happy with Herbie's. I have found Seed.eu since and will be using them going fwd. Check it out.

Ok the Q&A on cloner shit.

  1. Is it cool to have a see thru root dome?
  2. I used a few trimmings from my girls just before 12/12 flip. I 45 degree and split the stalks and dunked em in some Clonex the hydro guy gave me to try. I also added couple drops of Superthrive and couple drops of GH Rapid Start a friend gave me to the water. 1.5 Gal. Did I pollute the water? Or make it better?
  3. Should I keep (2x double 12w cfl plant) lights on / off? If so how long daily?
  4. Was given a couple Jr Green Pad Co2 pads (look like feminine pads, hope they are good for girls, LOL) by the same friend to try also. He said they work. Figured WTF its free cant hurt. Do these really work?
  5. Got the whole rig sittin on a seed starter mat so the temps are 78 deg water, 82 humi. What are the best temps fore clones??
  6. Is it best to keep the stems in or out of the water? Right now they're a cm or 2 above the water but getting plenty wet.
No roots yet after a few days but I got more time than money so we'll see what happens.Whole deal cost me less than $20 (Mostly free or had already) so I don't have high hopes. But hey live and learn.

Cfl's are fine for clones. Schedule is growers preference anywhere from 18/6 to 24hours on. By the way this room is proper! Kudos I tip my hat to you brother.
 
Ok went to the 99 cent store today and found a couple of strainers for my tea to make op a EWC tea ball that'll be easily adapted and cleaned out. Finer mesh, plastic dishwasher safe and only a buck ea!

@fandango Thanks man! I've seen a few of Limbo's vid's lots of interesting stuff and Ideas. I hate tat effin Popcorn song! reminds me of Jr High dances.

But I am very curious about the Malpeto (sp) medium. Heard the US/Canada stuff isn't the same as the Euro stuff. More research needed. I already got a few enhancements planned for after this grow.

Here is one I just got.

A small condensate pump to empty my de-hui. Thinking about either plumbing it to my daytime humidifier or my rez.
Any thoughts or comments welcome. Not sure what airborne problems I may be potentially dumping. More research needed. However the thought of not having to dump that Hui rez every morning is cool with me.

Ultimately the goal is as much hands free growing as possible. The thought of 2 weeks with out any maint. is cool by me and my short term goal. My schedule is so crazy at times. Kids, travel for work etc...

Perhaps you could line them with cheesecloth...? ATB!

@SupaM The new "tea ball" kicked ass. Hardly any seepage. Trying to get away from panty hose (embarrassing to buy) / cheesecloth etc..and have a reusable EWC soaker for my tea. Think I found it at the 99 cent store. Think this is my best mix yet with these two cheap ass plastic strainers.

The girls seem to be liking it!

Not sure why this Mango Ryder Auto in the front is yellowing?
IMG_0405.JPG
The buds are progressing. Maybe a different nute schedule is needed for auto vs the others?
Fuck-it she gets the same as the other bitches who are 18-24" now and getin' the stretch on and starting to show some mini-budlets. after a week and a half of 12/12 flower time.

Ima take a guess at wallheater

@marquezmurder You have won the prize on the new games how The Pothead is Right! Please contact your forum admin for your choice of one OZ of primo Maui Wowie. All participants must be able to pick their own prizes in the grow of origin. LOL yep it's a wall heater I scored when a neighbor was updating his pad. Don't think it gets much use here (set for 66 deg so it maybe fired off a couple times with this mild So Cal winter) so I may move it to my bathroom. Hate a cold seat fist ting in the morning! I'll use the plug spot on my controller for ???
 
I have them in my room as well, set to the off setting as I use hps, gotta beat the heat. However already got one in the bathroom, its like a mini sauna in there. And as for the mowie wowie, mhmmbongsmilie:leaf::hump:



Co2?
