"So, I have this condition that causes me pain and practicing guitar is difficult. So I took a cheap one and hacked it up and put a belly cut and an arm bevel on it like a Stratocaster has.







Tomorrow make a nut and saddle (where the strings go over) and hopefully it will be playable.
It took me a little longer to get to the guitar than I thought. Made timed today to do it. I gave it a half ass fret job, and put some strings on it. I am really happy at how comfortable it is. I also did some carving of the braces inside the guitar to get it to sound better. At first it was a real dog, no bass. So I took some off the height of the braces to loosen things up (Don't try this at home kiddies. I have made a few guitars.) and it sounds much better, enough to surprise myself. It is no means perfect but more full sounding, going to make practicing more enjoyable.

The two major factors affecting clone success are temperature and pathogen control. The hypochlorite makes a bacterial problem unlikely/go away. Temps are rather more up to you.
Can you use calcium hypochlorite with nutrient?
In the end I didn't buy the Calcium hpc, a chap I know works with live stock and they use chlorine, I put off buy it and but the time I got the chlorine tablets the clones had rooted.
The effervescent chlorine I got is NaDCC afaik its different in some way to calcium hypochlorite as it needs mixing/refreshing on a daily basis, so it's good for sterilising but not for a bubbler I don't think?
Anyway I'd still buy calcium hypochlorite if it can be used with nutrient as I intend to grow the clones on a good bit in the bubbler.

Thanks SD

"Early in the morning, risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I'll strap shoes on my feet
Got to find the reason, reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone "

And i did. =

Swallowed my coffee, as transport company wrote my new lumatek led has arrived and ready for pick up, drove to pick it up, home, more coffee and a spliff, while reading assembly instructions.
Rearrange previous lightning, 1 x 600w hps out, 1 x 600w Lumaled in.

Hot diggety, its one biiiig led, phreaking awsome.

3 weeks into flowering, so wont get a true picture of how it does compared to hps this grow. But loving it already.

It's sodium vs calcium, using it for clones won't make a difference. It won't sterilize but neither does Ca Hypochlorite, they are disinfectants.

I'm talking about keeping it sterile?
I've got another lid for the bubbler I was thinking of try it with a couple of plants, also normally 4 clones is all I require so I can grow them to a good size in the cloner and I'd rather prevent problems than cure them?

NaDCC is sodium dichloroisocyanurate. It attaches the chlorine to a nitrogenous base that is probably fine for livestock. But for cloning I recommend the calcium or sodium product.

I also advise adding no nutrient to the cloner liquid. Until they have roots, they don’t get any benefit, and you’ve just added food for pathogens like bacteria.

What did you do today that you're proud of? Something at work, home, school, personal achievement, etc...


Today I had gravel dropped off and I put in a new driveway. It was a lot of work but I got it done quicker than I thought I would.:)


:leaf::peace::leaf:
nothing really depends on what u mean by achieved, being lazy due to not having to do too much other than look after myself n wellbeing i guess I've achieved nothing but gained lots.

Sterility is something you can't achieve at home. You just need antisepsis, not sterility.
