yeah, i know i need to up the air, and i'll definately be looking into some enzyme products. at this point though, i'm only looking for multiple rooted clones from all the plants, once i have those, i'm gonna cut the plants down so i can seperate the clones, 2 held back waiting to either become mommas or to die. 2 others from each plant will be flowered to determine sex and once i weed out the males, i can raise up one of the held back fems (i actually want a fem from each of the bagseed strains i'm working with) to become mommas that will produce 4 cuttings each, every other week. that's when i begin my SOG.
and i wonder, could you fill those bottles up with nutes instead of water?

Well I got way lost with all the different plans/ideas/jerryrigs etc in this thread but the plants sure looked healthy and happy in that last photo of them.

the plan has always been the same, SOG is my plan, 3 mommas and a steady sea of weed to feed my head. i was trying to show the progression toward success so far. by no means do i claim to be anything but a beginner but i thought my fumblings would at least amuse, if not enlighten.
anyway, wish me luck, i don't plan on giving up any time soon

As long as you are happy with it...who cares? I'm just saying I got lost in one thread about cloning, holding back other plants, sexing, then growing the held back plants..........and then I was REALLY lost so I just looked at the photos.

Good luck with your grow.

like i said in the beginning, i'm not exactly organizized.
that's why i added the pics, to make up for my helter\skelter style of note takeing. lol
anyway, thanks for taking the time to look and comment, i can't talk about growing here (at home) so this (online) is it, so again, thanks

Yeah I know the feeling....I can talk about it at home but not much else....it really does help to have these forums....

It's funny how growing the stuff will take on a life of its own.....it already has for you I see...lol!

It's all about enjoying the experience. Good luck.

i think i find the growing of weed more relaxing and fulfilling than the smoking of weed if that makes any sense.
it's just sooo cool to start out with this little tiny seed and to raise it up into a plant that rocks your boat. i'm a disabled vet so i have plenty of time and i like to think i'm handy so i've done lots of reading and now i'm trying to apply what i've read. i've had some failures, or rather, learning experiences, but they don't discourage me. now all i need is a Dr. here in RI so i can get legal.

Being legal DOES help imo.....just one less stress to worry about....although the feds always loom.....

I agree...growing does have it's own rewards.....great weed aside at the end. Strangely...I've tried growing other things (roses, fruit...) and it just doesn't strike the same cord......hmmm.....go figure...!!

1) assembled and ready to go, room for 18 cuttings
2) the guts
3) and 4) first day in operation

Cool cloner. Almost looks like my new one. Sorry to sound like a broken record, but you might get better results if you had about twice as many bubbles. Of course though, it's the results that count. If it does good, no worries. At first I thought you were using neoprene inserts to hold the clones, but with a closer look it looks like something else. What is it? A rolled up insulation strip, or moldy piece of sushi?

Check this out: I’ve got proper bubbles for once.

lol, really though, i made the holes a little bigger than i had intended but it still worked, i used pipe insulation, i bought a 4 foot length of pipe wrap and just cut it into 1 inch pieces, those wrap around the stem of a cutting nicely, holding it suspended and secure.
also, thanks for the tip about the air, actually, i plan on getting a new pump from the local hydro store next month, i'm on a very tight budget and this month i bought the makings for a scrubber.

Nice cloner dude. How often will you be changing the water in it? I've read in a few threads that they prefer to change out the water in their bubble cloners about once a day, but I'd guess it would be ok to let it go a bit longer as long as it stays SUPER clean and very aerated.

Oh, and what light cycle do you keep the clones at? This thread in the FAQ was pretty interesting which concerns the photoperiods with rooting clones: Why Should I turn out the lights?

I used to think there wasn't too much difference between the full 24 and 18/6 during cloning and veg. until I read about it just the other day.

I LOVE learning new stuff all the time! I just wish I could put it to good use already... until then I'll just stick to being a common carrier of half-assed knowledge

thanks man, i hope it works as good as it looks, LOL. as far as changing the res water, i hadn't really thought about it, probably, i'll stick a batch of clones in there, then, when rooted (hopefully within 7 - 10 days), i'll transplant them, dump the res and start over.
and thanks for the link, i hadn't thought about THAT either, LOL.
right now the cloner is in the doorway of my closet getting indirect light 24\0, i guess i'll have to figure a way to put it in the dark while i sleep. lol, and thanks for bein' a carrier.

peace, love, dope

how's the "experimenting" coming along?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and thanks for asking. things have been progressing nicely, my new cloner is working like a dream, i wish i had had it a month and a half ago, i'd have some buds half way to harvest by now, LOL.
it's been 1 week since i built the cloner and put it into service. i took 18 cuttings from 3 plants, 6 cuttings each, then i cut the parents down, of the 18 cuttings, 15 have rooted very well, the other 3 don't look so good, 1 definately is a no-go, the other 2 might root still.
anyway, i now have rooted clones from almost all my original plants so, this weekend i think, i will begin flowering clones from each and sexing them, once that's done, i can select 2 vigorous mommas and begin filling my Sea Of Green, 4 clones a week.
heres a couple pics of the roots in the cloner, kinda fuzzy but still easy to see

If you want to know if you are invisible look at the number of views to your post......are you there? (just kidding....) i'm always surprised when someone will post on one of my threads seemingly out of the blue only to discover they've been reading and following along the whole time.....people often won't say anything unless they want to point something BAD out to you....so less posts can be a good thing.

Ps....want a friend?......be a friend.......

PSS...EXCELLENT roots on those cuttings by the way....top job!

thanks to everyone that is following along silently.
Weedhound, thanks for the encouragement and i've already been on the end of a poison pen or two. i know i have a knack for pissing people off, i've been told i'm a little arrogant, that's why i chose my name, to help me remain humble.
oh, and i try to be a friend to everyone, especially the other newbies like me, i just get a little testy when i see people asking questions that are so simple that you KNOW they haven't bothered to read ANYTHING.
anyway, thanks and i love my new cloner !!! i start flowering for sex this weekend!! i can't wait!

thanks man, i appreciate your feedback. i guess, because this is all still so new to me, i need all the encouragement i can get. LOL, i guess i need someone to hold my hand a little, kinda like a kid looking for approval from all the BIG people!

good work on the cloner. I made a bubbler cloner before but I guess my water temps are to high here to get roots. I only ended up with one rooting, and its now in my DWC bucket slowly growing.

and since you always give me comments in my thread, the least I can do is return the favor. although I am another silent type I dont mind encouraging others every once in a while. Keep it up

Dont believe anything I post since Im a figment of your imagination and dont really exist....................

btw, maybe it wasn't the temp that kept them from rooting. what were you using for a solution? myself, i'm using 10ml of ThriveAlive red and 2 drops of Superthrive in 2 gallons of water. also, if your temps are too high, try freezing some water in 16oz plastic bottles, then just put them in your res, you can even leave them open to defrost and blend into the res.
anyway, thanks again for the feedback
