Hmm very nice drg love the clones im close to finishing my 2nd veg table :)
very nice bro, the little ones off to the right of the mothers are fresh only a few days in the wools they tend to get some necrosis of the leaves while they are rooting but after that they bounce back quick. my buddy couldnt come through with the clones so im down 5 for the next run but o well i guess i will only be running these 5 no biggie.

Damn your plants are looking amazing, super frosty! I notice that a lot of people have algea on their clones. Does that affect your ph later on in the buckets? Or affect how the clones growth overall? I've never had algea on my plants or clones, but I'm about to start using rockwool, and the majority of the time I've seen it on the rockwool cubes.

^^ Man fuck that I'll hook you up lol, unless ya get that Orange Kush, then you gotta hook me up. :) That's how it is around here too. I give out clones to all my close friends for their little gardens, but those bastereds never return the favor. Lol

the algae has never had a neg effect on anything in my systems, the ph is rock solid and gradually moves up throughout the week from the plants drinking and eating. i have covers on the tops of the blocks(very important) and the algae mostly grows on the sides where the plastic still is, the plastic is removed when i transplants to flower and then covered in hydroton. the block itself is never exposed that can lead to pm quite fast, also i keep a fan blowing on them (osculating) to ensure lots of air movement. im more worried about getting pm than the algae.

Sweet, I was wondering about that because I'm about to stick my rapid rooter into them and veg them out for a little before I throw them in the system. It'll hold the roots a little longer and save me some time before I have to throw them in the hydroton. I'll be sure to look at the covers too. Thanks for the tip.
Also I'm curious on what you use to help with your root growth, that looks freaking insane! lol. I just started using this tea, so far it's helping but Idk if I'll see a root mass like that yet.

I'm kinda thinking that me catching that terrible slime slowed down my root development. Next time I hope to see roots like that. :)

im flooding x3 a day for 30 min with the clone trays under them. i used to flood x1-x2 a day when i was not using the clone trays under the blocks.

Have you found a difference between watering more for a shorter amount of time? Right now I water 4x a day for 15 minutes. Even still thats only like a full hour of getting water per day, and you guys are doing it for an hour and half idk. Maybe that could help with the "bulkness" of the plant?

its possible man, i have always ran 30min floods because my timers can only be set for 30min.

with the RW cubes mine droop and look like shit until the roots pop from the bottom then the new growth looks amazing and i usually trim away all the old stuff. with the 4x4x4 blocks this usually takes a week maybe longer i have since been experimenting with 4x4x2 blocks (to see if the roots show faster) sure enough they do and the plants start growing much quicker so im sticking with the 4x4x2 blocks doesnt really matter because the roots have room to grow down with the rooter trays under them so a 2-3 week veg and i will still have root space.

We've all been there. Shit I got about 5 trash cans full of hydroton lol. Whenever I need some I just go grab a 5 gallon bucket and just grab a couple scoops. Downside is cleaning those damn balls. lol
