Advice

Label all your plants. and DON'T mix up bagseed with plants that are important.
Lower the humidity to PREVENT mold issues, I however, have never given conditions in which powdery mildew could grow. So i've no experience combating it.

And as far as cloners go, there's a really good DIY bubble cloner in the DIY section...here, lemme track it down for ya.

This is prob gonna be the best bet for YOU.

(sorry for posting a link to another site, but the info for this cloner isn't present here currently.
Here, here's some decent ones too. In case you need more clone sites.

There are ones even better and easier to make. But they're ALL the same concept, so you can improvise each idea into one if you need. I'm subbed

The powdery mildew isnt any worse and seems mostly confined to the unused portions of my setup tomorrow i will start my milk treatment

Whenever the H202 Arrives (been waiting 4 shipping days) ill immediately start dosing my res and run it in my cloner

H2O2 is plain Hydrogen Peroxide, you don't really need to order it online, just get it anywhere.

And good stuff man, I like your setup. I use soil myself, but a lot of the basics of growing are the same. I'd be happy to help with anything I can, just feel free to msg me. And as I said, i'm subbed, so, i'll be watching.

yeah i ordered 35% "foodgrade" you cant use the 3% at most stores because its not stable and its certainly not foodgrade (water +h202 only). i tried soil last grow and made a mess out of it this seems very clean and neat (cept for these stupid hydroton) these dyna-gro nutes keep the ph in check ive only had to adjust it once.

PS how was ur grow raided on accident?

Long story....kinda tired of tellin it...but they came for 1 reason that they were actually incorrect about, and stumbled upon it. Hence....accident.
I've never needed or wanted to use H2O2. Soil's always worked best for me.
Simple.

But some prefer other methods. I def like your setup, and the pics you just posted, the first pic is a clone or a reveg?? And the rest are from seed? or...?

Actually its a seedling that started out in soil and almost died.(it had 3 little 1cm long roots) i pulled it out of the soil and just plugged it into my setup to see if i could revive it and thats what happened. its now got a full ball of roots (ill take pics if wanted)

Today my H202 was stolen immediately after it was delivered. i dont even know what they would have used it for but im hoping they open it and return it but(they will probably throw it in the trash) im filing a claim with fedex tomorrow -.- 31$ down the drain. i've got a vacation in 6 days i was really hoping to dose them before i left

Nice work on the cloner! And the clones are a good size, you should get a good rooting percentage. Personally, I like to clone using Rockwool/Rooter Plugs/Peat Pellets and rooting gel/powder and a humidome. But for the cost, this seems quite simple. Great work putting it together man, looks exactly like i've seen in every guide so far.

If I may ask, guide aside, how much did all the components cost you? And how many things did you have already?

i had one item already the pump (aside from the funnoodle i used to float the pump higher since i made the hose to short). i had to make one minor modification. i didnt take a picture because i forgot but the pump i had started with a 1/4th threaded male end that i had to attach a hose to clamp it down and get hose fitting for the top (ill post a picture if/when these show roots.

in all the total cost should come to around 60$
the sprayers were 8$ for 10(bought 2 i broke a few so careful)
All the slip corners 4$
10ft Pvc 1.23$
nearly the same pump at lowes 50$(i checked for the proper fitting) a 200 gph pump is enough (1/2 fitting pumps are like 500gph
MY modification 10$ (because the pump nozzle was small= tube(matched to the 1/4 bit) + 1/4-1/2female threaded + 1/2 male threaded-1/2 slip) Lowes didnt have anything in 1/4

Rather than neoprene discs i used a 1ft length of 1/4inch(outer diameter i think) hose that was cents used a dremmel to drill a hole about the size of the hose (lil small) then jammed it in (i should have split the hose but i didn't) then just placed the clone in with a little of that fun-noodle foam to stop it from falling through to much

Newest addition to the cloner is another white widow clone. i accidentally broke the top of a stem while trying to weigh down the top branches. so i dropped it into the middle of the clone bucket (since it had a stupid thick stem)

I posted these 2 days late but ive been busy. maybe a new post before i leave tonight

Very nice man.
How's the cloner workin out for ya? And how high do you have your light above your plants? And how old is the bulb? Cause it doesn't look very bright in there tbh, and all the seedlings have alot of stretch on em, the Master Kush has some stretch on it too. But it still looks good and should make some great buds.
You have some fans on em? Fans circulate air which helps the plant transpire, and take in CO2. It also can help strengthen the branches and stalks, allowing them to support more weight, which is good when the buds start packin on.

Actually the cloner hasnt worked out for me at all i think i might move it from inside my room to outside. I posted a new write up on my main thread sorry for the lack of updates ive just been trying to hammer down this cloning thing before i lose anymore plants :-(
