I got a 3 gallon bucket and the square fits perfectly over the circle with the feeder tube hanging in the bucket. Then dump your nutes, I've been washing the bucket with hot water every time as well.

Well, well, well... After a lot of waiting and FRUSTRATION I finally got a FEMALE!!! So today I've been a very busy boy. I cloned a couple off my female, I chopped my male an made some hash, I threw my female in my waterfarm under the 1000w, and I did a WHOLE LOT of cleaning up. :leaf:

I know I've gone over it before, but DAMN these males have been givin me a lot of bubblehash practice. So I figure I'd go over the procedure in a little more detail.

Step 1 - Get yourself a plant your all done with - Either a male of a female already trimmed. Cut the leaves and stems into about 3-5 inch pieces into a 5 gallon bucket.

Step 2 - Get a BUNCH of ice. Either 2 bags of store bought or a whole freezer box full if your freezer makes it. Dump about half the ice into the bucket onto the trimmings. Add a little water and stir it up.

Step 3 - Stir for about five minutes with either a wooden spoon or a power device. I use a hand held power mixing thingy on the end of my dewalt. Works great for me...

Step 4 - After about five minutes add the rest of the ice and keep stirring another five minutes. The water should be a greenish brown color.

Step 5 - Get yourself a strainer. I use a salad tossing insert inside of a strainer. Then I run it through a window screen three or four times (not in pics). Until the water runs through it without leaving any plant residue.

Step 6 - Let it sit. You want it to sit for at least four hours to fully let the water filter the particles down to the bottom off the bucket.

Step 7 - Siphon off the top layer of the bucket. Take care not to shake or disturb the bucket in a way which would stir up the particulate back into the mixture.

Step 8 - When your down to the bottom where you can see the particles layered in the water, get a plastic container and pour the rest into the container. Let that sit for an hour or so.

Step 9 - When you see the stuff separate in the clear container you can grab a turkey baster and SLOWLY start sucking up the water off the top layer. When you down to the stuff on the bottom. Pour it out onto a plate and stick it on something warm under a light.

Step 10 - After a couple hours start scraping the residue towards the center of the plate, constantly moving, rolling and flipping it to help work out all the moisture. When its dry, work it into a ball and you got yourself some hash BOY!

Roseman you ever have any problems with Calcium def. ? I started to get it on all my lower leaves. I've just been using the SH nutes. It seemed to clear up when I switched to GH flora nutes. An I ordered some cal-mag so hopefully that should clear things up. ph has been at 5.8 steady so i know its not lockout or ph instability. But like small rust colored spots on my new growth and some slight twisting and mutation. but its only on my lower branches and some of the new growth up top.

is there a foger or what makes the mist in the bottom of the cloner??? i was thinking of hooking up some sprayers in mine on a timer and getting the sponge inserts so there just sitting in the tub, then after i see roots throw them in rockwool and put them back in the cloner with the netpots and pellets tell im ready to flower......after they get roots are you going to put them into rockwool?? and if so what size cube?
