im gonna get me one of those honey b carry on's the honey looks amazing

well ive got a bottle of clonex gel and some plastic cups but i wouldnt go so far as to call it a kit.... hahah do you mean i need a propagator?

i was thinking about getting one this week as their cheap as chips. i gather cloning is fairly easy with rockwool but i was going to just use rooting and cutting soil from BnQ and the clonex and just whack them under the cfl?! or should i get a propagator?

Yea youl need some sorta propagator mate, as you say theyre cheap as anything, i root cuts in either root riot cubes or jiffy pellets, i cant be arsed with rockwool, PH'ing n all that crap lol

filter came today and the 600hps setup is ordered n will be here hopefully tomorrow so i can switch 12/12 this weekend!!!!

i also bought 16 9ltr pots and some 4 inch peat pots for my clones! the wifey in morrisons eyed me somewhat suspiciously i might add heheh

got the fan/filter up and running, works a treat, sounds like a chopper in the spare room but it doesnt smell like a coffee shop so am happy... the bluemoonshine bean has sprouted and the two hindu kush but nothing of the kali mist or the cinderella

I know i know i shouldnt have especially grow stuff, but it was a good deal... just means the clones im taking from the tops will be a bit further on so i guess its not that bad. the ebay shop says 48hrs parcelforce i hope i get some freebies....

worse still i went home with the intention of getting stuck in to knocking up some clones to discover the girls all droopy n sad looking. so i watered them n n they have picked up a bit this morning, thing is some of the leaves have this weird curling going on but only say 2-3 out of 5-7 of the leaves on one fan (multiple plants tho)?! any ideas/ advice?

oh and i put the moonshine and hindu kush beans into peat pots n under the enviro

clones taken from the lower branches, fingers crossed (my first attempt at cloning)

Good for you, jump on the cloning train mate, iv just done my 25 clones for the SOG, been cloning for a while but iv never flowered a grow entirely of clones before.

I see your using root riots, cant go wrong with them, iv never had a clone fail in them yet did you dip the cut in clonex too?

Your leaf curling up looks a little like a bit of heatstress to me, but it dont look too bad so dont sweat about it.

alright mate?! yeah i saw you had plenty clones kickin off, best of british for your SOG grow! i opted for taking the smaller shoots from lower down the plant instead of the tops, and again takin your advice opted for root riot cubes i did indeed dip all the clones with clonex (and then dropped a couple of drips down each stem just for shits n giggles)

as for the leaves curling i guess it'll figure itself out, i didnt think i could heat stress them with an envirolight?! unless ive had it too close i guess...

FUCKINWOOPWOOOP my boss has just walked in carrying a parcel which looks suspiciously like a 600w setup!!! about f@ckin time!!!

WHOOP DE FUCKIN WHOOPWHOOP indeed, about bloody time too, that ebay seller must have pulled his finger outta his arse

yeah guess me ringing him up and sayin i was desperate dan for it worked. nee freebies mind lol

Freebies are a rare thing these days mate

yeah i guess so, you generally have to complain to get freebies in this day and age

you 'working' from home today?!? hahaha

Nope not at work at the mo, cant do much til friday when the shits delivered lol

so the 600 is up n running and my mother/clone cupboard is sorted too

yesterday when i took the cuttings i didnt have a spray bottle so i just chucked some water in the lid n today the snippets are looking a bit droopy so i improvised and whipped the sprayer out of some disinfectant ran some fairy washing up liquid through it then plenty of water (hope to god i got all the disinfectant out or thats the cuttings donald ducked...) gave them a good spray n hope theyve picked up by time i get home. fingers crossed...
