Thanks Zen =]

And I'm sure the cutting get plenty of the hormone into their system when you inetualy dip them... the rest hangs on, kind of like a past for a while. Any thing that gets washed off into the rez will only make it's way back to them eventually as they start sucking up the water.... I'm not sure of the specific science behind it... but it works =]

Zen you should stop by my stealth locker grow sometime.

peace

I have read on other forums that you can clone in a dwc the transplant to soil. Is this possible and if so how would someone do this. And if it is possible could someone do this if they were to keep a mother then clone off the mother and follow what BigD921 is doing for his 12/12+CFL+HB's=perpetual experiment. I am trying to know if this could be good for a micro grow. Any thoughts?

Yes I do... I ph at 5.5.. and I check it everyday or so... but it stay steady with a slow drift up wards... by the time it gets to 6.0. I change the rez.

Transplanting from hydro to soil is easy... Simply prepair your pot with the soil and perlite or what ever you will be using... make a hole for the roots and plant... and cover up with more soil...

Here are 3 of the clones... yes these are the actual clones I started with in the picture of the cloner..

Well you have the air stone the tub... there is a hole big enough for the air line in the back of the tub close to the top (in case of leaks) you feed the line into the tub and connect it to the airstone.. connect the other end to the air pump.

zen great setup, i think i might try this! i am very new at growing and even newer at hydro. i think this might sound like a stupid question but could i flower the clones directly in the water filled plastic container? Also could i go 12/12 with the clones right away in order to keep them small?

Note: you still need to put hormone on the stem this just explains my medium .:leaf:

1. Wilson™ rooting gel.
2. No damp™ liquid solution>prevents root rot .
3. jiffy pellets (pete moss cutting starter pellets/sacks)
4. heating pad or other residual heat accelerator.
5. Humidity dome.

Medium Method:
the trick here is the initial solution you use to swell your grow medium which is the peat pellets.
after you soak the pellet in the respective *Heated* no damp solution following its instruction label. sqeeze out all the excess ; You will then mix 1 tbl. spoon of the wilson rooting gel in 1 cup of cold filtered water and replenish the pelet with that solution then squeeze out the excess poke a hole 1 inch into the pellet with a squer and prepare to cut.

Any ways this has worked the best for me so far... I get very healthy and perfect sized root balls forming.... I even use this solution when I pre soke the 4"inch transplant pots before the initial transfer . then the hormone is cut off ! and its water and no nutes till that ball is formed in the transfer-pot .

Any ways you know the rest of the story try it for your self let me know what you think .:wall:

I think you can.. I let my clones go for a long time to the point they were little plants with branches bigger then what they were when I cloned them lol.. So if you want to try it, switch them to 12/12 as soon as they show descent roots......Micro dwc sog.. I like that =]

I happen to have just that in my mane grow.. just check out the link in my sig.. it's the stealth locker grow


By the way guys... I didn't take enough pics to make a step by step thread for it, but here is my....

diy MICRO flood $ drain (ebb/flow) unit....Zen style

Made the "flod tub".. will be using 3" net pots



Here you can see the "flood tub" over the "rez tub". On the left you can see the flood tube.. it is connected to a small fountain pump in the rez. On the right is the overflow tube... that is the level of the water when flooding.



In action..




All put together.




Hope you guys like it..

Those foam plugs you use, do they have to be foam plugs. Could someone use a sponge? Or do you think they would absorb to much water or even worse cause molding? Just wondering. I am enjoying your micro dwc, cfl scrog, perpetual stealth locker it's an interesting read.

Wolf if you put a 3" basket in the top of your res with hydrotone then set the clone in the foam to block light do you think that she will grow? When theroots pass through the cup just reduce water, balence ph, remove pillow foam, add nutes and start vegging? just somthing I was think about when I saw you cut your cups to get your roots through. just eliminating a step less stress on plantless work to do.

Using the cloner a lil. deferment today...

A couple of weeks ago I took come clipping from flowering plants to see how the clippings will re-veg... well I checked on them. One is dead, and the rest look like they are in re-veg limbo..





My girlfriend tossed some bagseed in her plant pots and... well here..





I chopped the re-vegging clones. Tossed their mini-buds with the rest of my trimmings for hash.





I replaced the clones with the little sprouts.. I just couldn't sit by and see them fighting for life in those conditions. They are much happier now =]

zen, thanks for answering my first question. im still trying to wrap my head around the whole hydro concept though. How do you maintain the ph of your water? ive heard tap water has a high ph, so how do i lower it? i dont want to use bottled water if i have to replace the reservoir every few days.

You can buy ph up and down at your local hydro shop. No hydro shop you can get it at the pet store. but, try to getthe ph tester that goes down to 4.0 so you can get the ph down to 5.5. I had to go to a hydro store for that. order online also. I will tell you I change my res every 2 days The first balence is easy the next day is harder you don't have to use that much solution. hope this helps... Wolf coming to the rescue your awesome man.

Great tut. i'm gonna try this one. Does your tape really block all the light out? i found that light can shine through this tape.
