Day 11, D-Day:
Woke up to half my clones wiped out. I removed the humidity dome the night before and the cuttings seemed to be able to handle it. But I slept about 4 hours later than I planned to, and I paid the price. The ones that weren't completely wilted were compromised and I'm sure would be more susceptible to rot, so I pulled em and took new ones to replace them. Looks like a handful may pull through anyhow:

My AK-47 and Moonberry (Afgooey x Blue Moonshine, possibly) mothers are doing fine getting direct sunlight most of the day:


Day 12:
The seedlings are growing well, with most of them showing roots poking through the homemade net cups:

I am having problems with the 4' air hoses I thought would be perfect but are clogging up in about 8 hours, presumably from the Heisenberg benny tea I am using. Unfortunately, I can't get to Wally World until Tuesday to pick up some cheap blue 4"ers. Some of the seedlings are showing severe downward leaf curling, but the green of the leaves is deep and lush, so I am attributing the curl to the sketchy O2 situation. I will know for sure Tuesday/Weds:

    You should build one of the StinkBud cloners.. Most people get 100 % success..

    Funny you should say that, because soon the entire system will be switched to Stinkbud systems: clone, veg, and flower chambers. I'm just waiting on my pumps and ez clone sprayers, which were on back order~

    Very cool.. I started building my own cloner before I saw the Stinkbud posts.. It was a piece of crap. mainly because I was trying to use sprayers from Home Depot. They clogged constantly and half my clones dried out and died. I replaced the sprayers with ez-clone ones, got the right timer and cloning is going smooth now.. I also got a fish tank heater to put in my rez as it has been pretty chilly here at night lately. Let me know how the whole process works out for you. Besides the cloner, I'm still growing in dirt. Hydro still scares me. Mainly because of temps..
    Good luck with your grow !!!
