Hi all,
I should start by mentioning that this is my first time growing and it's more of an hobby than anything else.
It all started when a friend came back from mex with some seeds.
As I mentioned in my other thread I have only managed to get 1 female out of 8 plants. Obviously I wasn't pleased with that so I decided to try and get some clones out of it.
I built an aero cloner following the excellent info on this site.
Here is the aero cloner and what happened about 2 weeks after starting it. (all clones rooted)

Ok so at this point I found myself with a mother plant on the balcony flowering despite the very long days

and a bunch of clones that rooted and needed attention.
I decided to go dwc as for some reason I think it will suit me.
I went ahead and built a single plant bucket with the first test clone in it and then I built a larger rez for the other 6 clones.
I have decided to use the lucas formula which I just started using yesterday and this is day 3 of the clones living in their new house.

I forgot to mention that I'm trying to do all this with cfl's. I have some normal full spectrum daylight bulbs called biobulbs (about 30w) and some warm cfls(about 25w).
Realizing that the light was probably not going to be enough and not being able to go for proper hps for heat and ventilation restriction I also bought a 120w cfl ecolight.
I'll post a pic of the lighting in the next post as I am on the 5 pics limit on this one

nice job on the aero cloner...$$ my WM aero bubbler cloning machine $$

and good luck with the grow

Hi,
as promised a pic of the lights
grow_overview_lights.jpglights.jpg

I hope you'll enjoy this grow as much as I am enjoying learning about it

Ah just to let you guys know, I don't mind and actually would like to encourage people to post in my journal.
Anything, questions, suggestions or anything else is welcome

cheers

good growin gigi, lookin nice and healhty. watch out for your bigger 120w cfl blocking the light path of the smaller cfl positioned above it... may want to reposition that smaller cfl for better light distribution... maybe move them all a bit closer?

good luck with the grow!

Hi thanks morp but the pic is deceiving, they are actually side by side. I will probably inprove in lighting position as time goes by

Hi Guys,
I have been away for 4 days and I can't believe what I found when I came home, the clones are getting huge, the leaves are way bigger than the mom already, that lucas formula and high oxygenated water seem to work wonders.
