So when using the 1in rockwool cubes did you just put the clone in the cube and bury it in the clay beads in the aero? Or did you use a tray and dome for a week or so until you saw roots then transported to the aero?

i used root tech clone gel and went right into the rockwool (ph bal. 5.8 ) then into a in-closed tray. then i put the tray on top of 1 of my flouresent light ballest for warmth (temp about 85 degrees, till i had good root development about 10 days.
then in the clay beads and in the aero pot. using root 66 and thrive red. for two weeks. then chaging water to growth mix.



i will be updating soon with pics of a transplant for a mother plant.

here is a pic of it on the ballast.

Update: lights are on 24/0 cycle
Transplant and new nutes for the transplants.
day 9 of veg stage.



here is the largest bag seed plant and the clone from outdoors. they go into the 8 inch net pots for their final destination. i am hoping the bag seed ,the larger one is a female..time will tell after it is big enough to take a clone. i will sex it with 12/12 lights after roots are developed.as you can see in background, i am out of panda film,i will be getting milar instead next time for the walls.and use the panda film for the top of the rest of my totes. toke lol





i also hung the fan from the ceiling with chains from my light ballast.




i built a cardbord inclosed wall to attach panda film to it,for maximum light reflection. cutting out vents in the bottom to keep water in totes cool and good ciculation so no mold happens.







gaurd dog on duty!!! but sleeps alot on the job.





now i have more room for these to breath a bit till i transplant 1 more bag seed plant and the other clone from outside that is almost ready for the move.

Quit spraying them with water your not letting the pours on the leafs breath and your choking it out they do not need to be sprayed!!!!!!!!!!

i never heard of that. but with aeroponics i guess your right. i will stop spraying them with water.

thx for the tip!!

Probably the craziest dog I've ever seen. I would seriously NEVER step foot within a mile of your house.

the largest plant is taking the move good so far. no shock that i can see so far. and is growing at a good rate also about 1/2 inch a day. and has new roots coming through the 8 inch net pot already.









more space being used.


some of the others.

ok the plants are going strong. room temp 83 degrees. humidity level low. ph is stable at (5.8-6.0)

i raised the lights over the possible mother plant and the clone in the 2 pot tote, to about 12-14 inches and turned off the clf. only going to use the 4' fl bulbs with the daylight spectrum for now to see if they stretch some. i want more height for the mother plant, so i can clone the top soon. and have a 4 cola plant.


here are some pics of the stuff still outside,that must be late finishers.

here they are 3 days old with some am mix seeds. im really looking forward to see what the mix seeds are..
