so are you going to buy the clones off your friend what kind are they any new pics yet
Still thinking about it. Not wanting to spend $100 on some clones, but at the same time I don't want to wait another month on my moms.

If I get them it would be Sour Diesel, Purple Erkel Kush, and or C4.

Will have a photo update tomorrow when I finish up the wiring.

Here's a photo update.

My plants always get pissed when they get watered. I think I also let them go a little to long w/o water.



Picked up a PH/EC/TDM Meter!


And here is a shot of the G-13 seedling.


Worked on the control panel a little. Keeping the wiring clean looking is going to be a bitch.

looking good and super clean man!!!!
Thanks fellas!

Hulk,

They are timers, digital with 28 programmable "events". Won't work for aeroponics if I switch over but they are nice for everything else. You can pick them up at Lowe's.

I got the Meter as a gift. I think they run $120 something on Ebay.

when you say they wont run aeroponics ....they wouldnt controll a air pump ??? right now i have three airpumps on a timer and the timer works fine untell it has to turn off or turn on then it goes all nuts sometimes the timer resets its self..... i been wondering why this is happening

For an aeroponics system that uses misters I believe the cycle is 1 min on 5 mins off, so these timers wouldn't be able to handle that. They only have 28 events. They would be fine to control a DWC set-up, although I heard you can leave the airstone on 24/7 right?

What type of timer do you have? I had problems learning to program these things too.

just some cheap digital ones from walmart on sale. i was told just to leave it on when the lights are on but that might be just his way of doing it

Alright let's try this again.

Yesterday I picked up the nutrients I decided on. I have read good things about Dutch Master. Reasonably priced too.



Also picked up a heat mat for cloning.




Finally found the lights I wanted to use for my Veg. Cabinet. They are overhead lights for large garages/warehouses. They are 85W and suppose to be equivalent to 750W. The Kelvin rating is 6500. Super bright.



I attached the lights to a piece of oak and hung them in the Veg. Cabinet.



I cut one clone off of each plant yesterday. These will replace the mothers in soil. Mainly just wanted to try my hand at cloning before I start taking a bunch of cuttings. They should be ready to produce my clones that will go into flowering in about another week or two.




Here are some plant shots. These plants are a little pale for my liking. Not sure if they are lacking nitrogen or are under/over fertilized.
