isnt a 600 watt mh WAY too much for new clones, could he maybe save them with a couple cfls for 3 or 4 days and then turn on the big boy later?
RDWC Setup
- Thread starter katripus
- Start date
Ya most of them are still looking the same, I'm hoping they get some roots soon before they die. Yah, I wonder about that tape too, but I don't think it's burning them. Hmm, I think it was just the 600W MH intensity (I raised the light over the days of having the clones).
But, on clone #6, I saw good things. A root coming out! Check it out (the plant looks pretty awful from the way I took the picture).
The rockwool was getting pretty dry, so I watered around and a tiny bit on them (to keep it from drying out). Next time I get clones, I'll be sure to check for roots before I put them in this system. At the time, I didn't have any kind of dome container (I do now though).
Do you think I should make some kind of ghetto domes over the other clones that haven't rooted? (haven't seen anyone do this before) Thanks for tuning in! Much appreciation.

Cool, I'm seeing new growth on all 6 clones! 
On some, the dead new growth kinda broke away like the plant was shedding. I can't believe I still have these poor girls. I hope they can make a successful recovery within 1 week.
They're still pretty busted, do you think there's a big chance of any hermie influence?

Yah, they're recovering, except for #4, well, in the middle, there's new growth, but slow...I'm going to replace that one with a different clone soon, and probably replace the next weakest clone here.
I've learned a lot (never done clones before) and I better understand what kind of water and such is needed at this stage.
Thanks

~Alright ladies and gents, it has been about 9 days since I've replied. I've been meaning to do this, but for some reason, I haven't gotten to it cough too much time spent in chat cough cough.
Well, lets see...where to start.
Well, all 5 plants are securely rooted. I just transported 1 today to replace the other one. I never knew why these clones looked so weird to me, they're alternating nodes! I'm so used to having seeds that grow not alternating. I guess when a plant begins to mature, it'll start alternating node patterns. I believe the clones were pretty stressed and weak when I got them, they didn't really have any roots. And what hurt them the most was putting them under a bright ass HID and spraying them (water magnification = burn).
If you look at netpot #6 pic, you'll notice a tiny bit of green in the water level tube. I ended up with a shitload of algay and I'm using hydrogen proxide aka h2o2 to try and rid of the problem. Also giving my water more oxygen for my roots. I foil wrapped all the tubes to block off any light from entering the clear water tubes. I don't think it'll be a problem.
So here are some new pictures, I think these are like 4 days old.

These pictures are pretty damn old. Alright, notice something about clone #5? Hmm, what are those white dots n spots? Is that just salt build up or something from crappy tap water? Looks like spider mites? In hydro?! NO WAY! Actually, I got some other free clones that came from soil that I kept in my clone incubator and somehow that plant got it. Dunno how exactly, but a few days later, I was going through some illness guides and I had to really take a better look for myself just to make sure. Bam, there they were. So I put a few drops of Dawn dish soap in a bottle, shook it up and sprayed the crap outta my plants when the lights went off. I even managed to get one, surround him with soap water, then I put one of those 60-100x radioshack microscopes on him as I sprayed soap water direct on it. I zoom watched the plant eater twitch and die in real time. Let that be an example to all spider mites.
I will have to repost some newer pictures, my clones are 2-3X bigger and look completely different (I feel like I can stand there and watch them grow). They're around 5-7 inches now. Oh, as you can see, clone #4 is different too. Well, I just switched out #4's spot for another one today. It's suppose to be some kind of kush strain. #1-3 & 5-6 are Waldo Haze. I hear they're early finishers and big yielders of the "haze strains". Suppose to be an Eddy Depp strain.
In the meanwhile, I made a new thread on if I should top this "waldo haze" strain, also, it's alternating nodes which I hear most clones are and if that's the case, don't most people top anyways?
I don't know, join me there if you'd like. More pictures on the way, (a lot better ones than originally posted)

Get some black 1/4 inch tubing.. That clear green stuff is letting alot of light through the lid which causes a variety of problems..
Other than that, your girls seem to be pulling through.. Thumbs up!

Should I get rid of those two shoots on the bottom? They're were a bottom branch (underground).
^Clone 6^
Clone 4 was cloned in a double gulp w/ seran wrap over it. Noticed some fungi on the bottom leaves, those came off. Had some roots coming out of its rapid rooter. It did have mites on it (the source), sprayed with dish soap water. I'll spray all plants again in a day or two. THen again couple days later.
I topped/fimd the taller ones, letting the new clone root system take place and the smaller one to catch up in height.
I also added some epson salt for magnesium. I wonder what they'll look like tomorrow. I'll lower the lights again tomorrow.
600W MH light is 23-28 inches from them. Has anyone ever gone by this? I'ma drop my light about 4 or so inches, but I'm worried this may hurt clone no4 . The roots haven't poked through netpot yet. I hand water around it with a full cup of water 4-5X a day (keep hydroton moist since water level isn't flooding above the hydroton anymore.
Anyone ever gone by this chart?

Here is the root development on #6. It has some algay junk on it. The 3/4 in tube was infested with algae, the water would pass through these roots from the end T fitting (carries water through a 5FT or so 3/4in tube from the res into the 2 end buckets). The other buckets (the ones water was pushed by the bottom) had significantly less. So roots on these end buckets should be whiter than ever in a week or so I'll say. All clear tubes are now foiled tight w/ some h2o2 going around.
I'll need some fresh RO water, that's all for now. I hope the FIM/Topping shoots are a success. I lowered the lights to 19-26 inches. I'm going to switch #4 (undeveloped roots) with #3's spot (shortest clone - 3.5 inches).

They pulled through nicely... Wondered what happened to you.
Sweeeeet!
Sweeeeet!
Yeah, my camera batteries were low! Haha, ye, they went from dead to alive O:]. Thanks for looking!
The top right unknown clone is finally showing some roots, I transplanted this girl about a week or 2 after these other ones. Hm, should I tie the taller ones and let the smaller/shorter ones develop more before flowering
? I really want to keep all of these around the same height so light isn't lost 
. Any suggestions, advice, comments would be appreciated~

Buy some damn batteries and keep us updated!!!
Here they are. I think they're around 14 inches or so, I'mma try n tie them down back to 12 . I'm thinkin about flowering them once they hit around 18 inches, but I'm terribly afraid for that clone in the top right. It's still developing roots, I hope it'll be okay with more nutrients x_X'''.
Aight, I figured out why my pH meter wasn't working right the past day. Low battery. It kept reading strange numbers, then eventually it would stay on pH 1.00. So I went to the dollar store, got some batteries, put em in and it works like a charm.
Time to put a fresh batch of water (been adding water this whole time). Oh did I mention? ALL ALGAE IS GONE, all thanks to H202 (hydrogenproxide).

do you have 6 dwc setups
or is all 6 dwc's connected to each other so all you have to do is flood and drain 1 to fill and drain the rez
almost like a flood and drain dwc setup with the flood and drain option used only to change the rez that would make changing 6+ rez at once ezer
if this is not how you have your dwc setup up this is what i will be doing
thanks for the idea, maybe

Here's so far, I'ma try and keep them from getting any taller . Wish me luck! This is 1 month since I got them ! Expect 6 days or less till I put them in flowering!

Since I added a low strength vegetative formula, would it be possible to add a flowering formula on top of that in 1 week?

nice growing
All 6 are connected to each other. I just add to the res. The res uses a water pump. The water pump connects to the 2 end buckets like a T. The water enters the two buckets, then gravity pushes the water through the two rows. At the end of that, gravity moves the water back into the res. From the res, the water goes back to the water pump and that's the cycle.
To empty, I just unattach the water pump from the 2 end buckets and attach a different tube that I'll stick in some buckets. The water pump will pump the water into a bucket, then I turn it off when the bucket is full, empty it, turn the pump back on and repeat. When I fill it up, I just pour buckets of water in the res with the water pump on and everything gets recirculated.
If you plan to build something simular, use black tubes instead of clear tubes (algae), use open/close valves in-between the bucket connections (so you can separate them if needed) and hm, that's all I can think of at the moment.
