I am running a hydroponics system that im only basically using right now to quickly water and then turn off. as well as to keep the mister resivoir full. Im using CFL's and 1 flood light that is placed about a foot or so away u can tell in the pic. And then i have another random bulb that will soon be changed to CFL as well just havent had the chance 2 go yet. Other than that i have three 2 to 3 week sprouts that are doing alright im just wondering whats up with this one

Pic of sprout

I keep the plants about an inch from the plants both the sprouts and the clone. As well as those plants i also have 3 seedling sprouts that i just threw in the dirt things today. Basically im wondering whats goin on with the 1 clone and whats going on with the 1 sprout and what do yall think of the setup? ima newbie so all the critizism possible would be great thx

first of all get rid of that flood light add more cfl's or hid , check in lighting section to find out what kind of light you need i am growing with 2 double floro tubes and 8 cfl's i have 4 plants , the flood light makes them grow to tall to fast , just by looking at the pic you should have about 3 or 4 leaf sets being that tall go to the newbie section on this site and read everything and go to the general plant growing section eveything you need to know is on here

happy growing

Okay so i redid everything basically i went in the CFL forum and learned what lights i needed. And what i needed was the direct opposite of what i have lol. so i went to home depot and i got 6 daylight 100 watt equiv CFL's and then i just kept 2 of the soft white bulbs i had. So now i have 8 total. Sittin in 4 sockets with a socket splitter in each to total 8. Check out my new pics and tell me if u think the lights are close enuf or to far away or whatever all info is helpful to me.

Here is the link to the new pics.

Pls hit me back with any info yall think is relevant. And do yall think i should just go get another 2 daylight bulbs or leave those 2 as softwhites? thx SyN

ok the fan is for stem stimulation it helps the stem get bigger as far as the clone it takes 15 days i am useing the powder RooTing and the nutes for the clone i picked it up at lowes it is called RooTing plant root hormone and stimulation nutriants, leave the fan on low poited directly at them

Will do....but heres whats up today. My friend brought ovr 3 of those emergency blankets. so i put them everywhere around the plants to replace the tin foil. i think they work alot better. i ordered mylar and its on the way but probably wont be here till early next week. so this will cover it in the mean time. But basically i think my clone is done because the kid that gave it to me doesnt know how to clone correctly but yesterday i taught him using mr greens i grow chronic vid. the 3 (3 week) sprouts are doing alil better i think. and my 3 seedlings have sprouted. new pics here

so i got a new resivoir with lid....10 gallon container that i filled alil more than half way and got the water right....i got another 20 gallon one under it that im turning into a cloner. iv put together the PVC pieces i need to make the sprayer. pics here. i just need another pump and a drill to cut holes for the actual sprayers. the pic shows only 2 sprayers i will actually have 4 to 6....2 or 3 on each side...and then ima cut holes in the lid and use those basket planters to make an aeroponics cloner. On a side note my sprouts are doing great. new pics of them are up here. the 3 week sprouts are doing alil better im learning how much 2 water better now. i think overwatering was deff my problem. what yall think

So my plants are going really good my friend came ovr today with one of his plants that was outside already that a deer knocked ovr and snapped. So we tried to clone it. we got 5 clones off it so put them in my little prop box. been keeping them misted. well see if they live or not. ill put pix of them up tomm. i didnt feel like moving them tonight. Theres some new pics of the other plants growth. all are looking pretty good. 1 of the the 4 week plants is doing really good. and the other 1 is well on its way to recovery from the bad lights i had in there before. The week old sprouts are also kicking ass i just finished moving the lights around and rearranging everything. Check out the new pix and tell me what yall think. My homemade aerocloner is also almost done ill post pix of that tomm as well as the pix of the clones. Feedback is appreciated. Thx - SyN
