Moving along great. Everything is perfect with the exception of the Vanilla Kush bleaching a bit...getting MG def from the hot spot under the lamp. I will be grabbing another Magnum 6 XXXL between rounds I think, need to spread this light better and the yield masters are hot with 1000s. Cal-Mag with the canna has made a night and day difference. Next round focused on keeping the smaller, other then that loving it! This maui bagseed is covered in trichs already which is a great sign. Pollinated her the other night with the OGiesel male to produce some seed stock of her. Almost lost her clone but recloned her in flower a week and got it to root :-P

Overview, hard to get the whole thing in the frame with how high these ladies are!

Maui Wowie bagseed already bulking up nice, forming a ton of trichs and smelling great. Slowest vegger I've ever had but looks to be a real keeper in flower. Can't wait to see how this one finishes up, she's a mystery.

Still 15 plants is all. Got 6 in the smaller tray and 9 in the bigger one. I think they are just over-vegged. They were vegged almost 8 weeks and it's just too much. Need to get that to 4 weeks or so. Plan is to prune more agreesively, but next rounds clone I'm going to actually let them grow some in the cloner... then once they green back up and start growing again, I'll hack them off, clean the whole system and then do it all over again. That should shave a good 3+ weeks off my veg.

I humbly appreciate the comment, tho I am always striving for perfection. I actually feel that I am moving away from my goal with the taller plants. They are lollipopped because all of that low growth won't get any light through the thick upper canopy. Ideally I would be lolling no more then 12", but because these plants are over-tall I'm forced to lolli them 2+ feet. My shortest plants are about 3.5 foot tall and the tallest is almost 4 foot... def not what you want indoors (unless your doing vert with 10k watts or something)

Here's the female timewreck under the 250 now. Started flowering her today, can't wait to see if I got a vortex pheno. Thinking so tho branches are very flimsy and sativa like, crossing fingers.

and a pic of the new cloner... have 2 TimeWrecks, 2 Blue Mistics, and 3 NLxS clones in there. Hoping it works out well, but my temps are a bit high. Stuck a probe in one of the inserts like a clone, reading about 80. Would like to get that down to 75. I have heard that higher temps help root faster tho, if I can just avoid the goo.

Yeah the Blue Mistic was just harvested in a week ago or so. Was a little side project I had going in my GL60. Ended up getting about 2.5 oz off it so not too shabby for a bonus side project lol

I would say get one and try to learn it. The 3 part GH it comes with kinda suck tho. I would use something like Ionic/H&G/Canna in it...and usually at half strength with DWC or any system where the roots are suspended in solution.

Agreed that the 3 part that comes with the WF sucks. The ones SG mentioned are great, but I'd also like to throw Dyna-Gro in that list. The solutions I mixed with that were amazingly stable so if you get some good nutrients the WFs are pretty easy to mess with, and they're fun once you get the hang of it. I got an extra WF bucket to make res. changes more easy.

Holy balls it's a freaking jungle in there pal! Excellent work. You're making me want to switch to hydro!

The way the girl at the shop talked about Canna the other day, I think I'll be making the switch to it. Is it really that big of a difference?

Sorry I haven't been checking in much. I've been pretty busy what with my old man passing away and all. I'll be sure to check in more often.

Question: I've been looking at cloners that are similar in style to the one you repped on the previous page. I was curious about transplanting and the mediums that you can transplant into from an NFT cloner. Care to talk a little about the process?

Super clean, I wanna see pics.
haha for sure man when it gets here I'll get some of it setup and milking. Love the showerhead percs so had to go with em. Also has a 29.2mm downstem so it should be drag free. Got the showerhead adapter for the 18.8mm precooler. I've never seen recessed joints like that, but when I saw her I new it was the one.

It's a good nute. How much better then H&G or Ionic tho idk, a little maybe. With canna I had to start adding cal-mag in with every nute change. Seems the canna aqua flores is a bit low on cal.

And no prob man, RL can b overwhelming enough.

This is a 'aero' cloner, so there is no medium just sprayers. You get cuttings with bare roots. Honestly I have yet to transplant from the cloner so I will have to report back on that process, but I've heard letting the roots grow a bit larger (1.5" or so) in the cloner helps reduce the risk of losing them during transplant. I use layers of hydroton and rockwool, so my tentative plan is to put them in a rockwool layer which will be much softer on the roots. That way they can grow down into the hydroton and other rw layers.

i was gonna say the same things about the higher temps. my clone room was always around 78 or so. i never really had a problem with slime (you are refering to a film on the top of the water right) i built my first aero cloner some 7 years ago with a rubber maid tub a water pump some pvc and some spray nozzles they work great and don't cost 3 or 4 hundred dollars just future reference if you need a bigger one you don't have to go buy another one. now the pics awesome the blue mistic looks great and i cant wait to see what the new strain does. and the glass piece makes me want to drive up north an burn a bowl with you lol. and as far as transplanting out of the cloner ive went into pretty much every medium there is just with the hydroton all you have to do is be easy with it mine wasnt mixed with rock wool so i just had to be very careful i never really shocked any or killed any so you should be fine. good luck and good growing!!!!!
