flowing with 2 500w cfl and 6 40w fouresence can this be done what should i expect?

awesome thanks for the info!!! do you have any pictures?

lol I knew that would be the next question. I will see what I can do

was wondering if this would work very new with cloning watched some vidoes this is the best i could come up with in 30 mins....


give me some imput plz

I cant tell whats going on in that pic? Looks like a clear Tupperware on top of another Tupperware?? Need more pics and an description. The first thing I see is that you want the bottom Tupperware to not be clear so that light doesn't get to the roots.

two Tupperware containers, one filled w. water and air pump w. a lid, cut holes through the lid so rockwell sits in water. second container, on top as lid.

Right idea but just a couple of suggestions.

1. Need to use a tupperware bottom that doesn't allow light into the roots or water - reason is is that this will promote growth of unwanted things in the water tub.

2. The rockwool cubs cant be submerged in the water - reason is that rockwool cubes can absorb a lot of water and hold it for long periods of time. Basicaly you are drowning the clone in this set up.

for this set up you could

a. Use a foam plug that dangels the end of your clone in the water


or
b. Water rockwool by hand 1 time a day just barly untill you see roots out the bottom the dangle the roots in your setup but not alowing the water to touch the rockwool.

c. Get 3" net pots fill 1/3 with hydrotron beads place rockwool cube in and then fill in spots with the hydrotron beads and water once a day lightly untill you see roots coming out the bottom then stick it in your setup.


anyway you do it the moral of the story is that right now you are drowning the clones by not alowing the rockwool to dry and provide oxygen to the cuttlings hence drowning them.

This is just my opinion. Rockwool isnt the easiest to clone with if you are not familiar with it.

Personaly I do a 3 step process that for me has been fool proof so far at a 100% success rate.

First I start with these that you can buy at home depot

Place cuttling in and hand water for 1 week once a day in the litte dome thing it comes with.

Then cut the netting and place the roots under the sink to wash away the dirt.

take a 1.5" rockwool cube and cut on one side verticaly to the center so its like a "packman" just dont cut any of it out. This is when it is wet.

Place cutling with the new roots in this and then do the netting post and hydrotron thing as mentioned above. Hand water until roots break through the bottom of the rockwool.

Then place in my set up which is a bubbler just like yours ( except with a non clear bottom )

This is just my setup and my opinion. I would like to hear others opinions as mine is just one way.

wow great so mine will die? thats wonderful.....

what if i empty the water out of the bottem container and make one that flows water over the rockwell once a day and then drips in to the bottem container?? will try it and show you pictures


thanx for the help

2 plastic containers one lid. water runs down lid hits rockwool drains threw and out bottom container. top container acts as lid and water line runs threw small hole.... will this work????

Plant = No Idea it was a free clone that a friend gave me while smiling so I am sure he will not let me down ... lol
More Bud = More light = More growth
There are lots of varitables to getting more or less bud. Strain of plant - Nutes - healthy roots - etc
Your plants are a little big. Try and keep the light like 3-4 inches away with good air flow between the tops of the plant and the light with good ventalation!!!!!!! Your plants will double in size when flowering or even get taller so even though some people will say grow it to 10" before flowering I like to start smaller so that the plant stays stocky and bushy. To do this jsut pummel it with light!

I have never used Advance Nutirents. so I cant say anything about them. I might try them but I also have read that they will fry your plants if you get the nute mix wrong and to use it at 1/2 the dosage but sence I have only read that and can not verify it I dont know if that would be true or not.

Is your system flood and drain?

its drip but the water runs down the tray to all the plants so like stream ? lol not sure if that is a system but thats what it reminds me of...

went to home depo today this is what i found...
