After RW failing horribly, and the bubbler looking to only have 2 hopefuls out of 15...I went ahead and build an aerocloner and just stuck 28 puppies in it. I currently have it 15on/15off, just used that because some other thread said it. Temps are hovering around 80 air temp and water temp...

Well the reasoning I stated was for the soaking. Of course you don't have to do anything, it is just good procedure. After soaking with PH water I shake as much as I can out without squeezing and destroying air space. Then I "soak" them in the nute solution for anywhere to a minute to hours...

I always thought it had to do with the Cubes tending to be more alkaline I think. Something about that even if your nutes are 5.5 ph or whatever, that the ph in the actual cube rises as the nutrients evap/used up. Soaking them I think brings their natural ph down to where we want it, and also...

I am with you bugs, RW was a complete failure, and I am trying a DIY Bubble Cloner. My problem with RW was that they would just bend over and lose all stem strength. Temps were fine, cuts were sterile. I have now read every cloning technique on the internet I think, the only thing left for...

How do you keep stem strength when cloning? I've tried Al's method and I have a bubble cloner going right now. The bubble cloner is showing more success than the RW did, however most of them are drooped over and some won't recover from that part alone. Is there a technique when cloning to...

Is that a 4 inch hooked to a 6 inch tube? How well does it work? And do you prefer the solid ducting over the more flexible kind? Id imagine it would have a lower coefficient of resistance but I was worried it wouldn't fit well when the light got raised in my setup.

Clones again... Bout half have normally green leaves and are slightly hunched over but nothing I'm worried about. Other half just have very little rigidity and the leaves are dark green and hunched over and very limp. I don't see how it could be overwatering though because I'm not misting and...

Clones again... I put them in 6 hours of dark and have it setup per your instructions. No real sign of leaf wilt, but some of the stems are all bending over from being top heavy. Not all of them are, but the thicker stem ones are just as affected as their less thick brothers. Will this correct...

Hey Al, I just wanted to revisit the cloning cut placement part. So what I should do is cut a clone from the mainstem in order to make the plant bush out and thicken up? Will these be the right cuts to do so? Images are clickable again for bigger pics. 1-Cut off top area of mainstem...

I think preflowers differ depending on strain and whatnot, but mine showed after a month.

Isn't high 70's ideal? Temp I mean. If it is then up to 95 seems excessive.

Bout week to west coast. They are good, they forgot to send a fan once and a simple phone call fixed that.

Damn near exactly like mine, cept mine isn't as tall and is a bit wider. I am building another and will be building a seperate mother/clone area. The area where the clone chamber is is going to be another reservoir. Its like double the cost (2x everything) but I don't have the option to devote...

It's a thumbnail, so should be clickable. However if maybe links are off this should do the trick

Hey Al, I was hoping you could use your experience to guesstimate something for me. Setup info in case any is useful... Lighting is 400W MH in Cooltube (flowering will be 400W HPS) Nutes currently at 1.5 EC I use 1.7ml/L of 35% h2o2 Lighting is on 18/6 Temps tend to hover around 23-25C...

Will do, trying a few diff cloning techniques on the males right now. At first I thought they were all an immediate loss but half of them are starting to regain stem rigidity so I might be all set to clone the fems once I feel they have enough shoots worth cloning for the setup (I think I want...

None of the pics are clear enough to really see but it appears male. Preflowers on my grow all showed up on the same day just over a month into the grow on 400W 18/6 so no worries to be getting them. Bummer on not knowing the strain though, that would help stuff out a lot. Try to get a better...

I always assumed it was water weight that was just a bit over the strength of the stems.

Well this thread is pretty much done. They are all showing preflowers and of the 6 that remained, 4 are female. I am practicing cloning on the males at the moment but will toss them soon. Once I feel comfortable that I can clone the fems I will start plugging them into a SoG OP I think. Will...

You will still have that problem I believe. I notice some salt signs on my pellets now and then.
