First, let me state that I basically work with a perpetual harvest, granted I don't have any hangups, (i.e. mold, bugs, or heat stress)...With that being said, I have basically 4 chambers-humidity dome, primary veg(125CFL), secondary veg/flwr(400MH), and flowering(600HPS)...

Ok, so I started with some clones, from a close friend, of Super Silver Haze(Greenhouse) and Blue Mystic(Nirvana-not featured here), who ordered them from Seed Boutique during the fall of '09..

First, I started by dipping the tips of the clones in Olivia's rooting gel and then placing them into General Hydroponics "Rapid Rooters"<--(these are awesome if you haven't tried any yet)..

The "plugs", as I call them, are soaked in a Jump Start(Advanced Nutrients) solution and adjusted to 6.3 to 6.8 pH...

From there the "plugs" are placed into my clone tray w/humidity dome with 72(6X12) spots to hold the plugs..

At this stage the clones are place under 2 T5 bulbs, each are 14W...The clones will stay here till roots are shooting out the sides and bottom, roughly 7-14 days..

Next the clones are transplanted into a 12 or 16 oz styrofoam cup, labeled with the strain and date and placed under a Hydrofarm 125CFL w/a 3-speed tower fan from Wal-Mart, for about 2 weeks or until they have rooted fully...Oh and my soil is Ocean Forrest w/several cups of Fox Farm's Chunky perlite added for aeration and some ______

During this time they are watered with 2Tbl/Gal of Big Bloom(Fox Farm) for the 1st week...During the 2nd week of veg they get 2tsp/Gal of Grow Big(Fox Farm) and 2Tbl/Gal of Big Bloom..

At this point, the plants get replanted again into a 2L or 4L white square pot, depending on the strain and the amount of space I have available at the time of repot, determines which size pot I use..

Once replanted the plants then go into a cabinet that is 21"X29"X71"(not very big I know, but it's all I have to work with right now) that has a 400W MH w/440CFM inline Ecoplus fan, and the plants will stay in here for 2-3wks to prepare it for the closet with the 600W HPS w/340CFM inline Ecoplus and 3-speed tower fan(for circulation), and if I need to I will throw them on 12/12 for about 1 week in order for my closet to finish it's run...

This is where my Super Silver Haze plants are as I type(actually I have had them on 12/12 with the MH for 2wks now, bad timing on my part, but I can't bring myself to cut my flowering babies till they are ready which should be about another week)..

So my next step is going to be, cut down my flowering chamber(obviously), take my shelf out that divides my flowering chamber(due to 3-4ft Super Silver Haze's stretch), and pop the 4 big plants under the 600HPS and let em loose...wish myself and the plants well and I will post with updates soon.. :bigjoint: :peace:

So you're taking out the shelf in the closet? I think that would give ya a lot more room to work with. You should snap some pics of the process!

It's suppose to go 10-11 weeks, but you could prob let it go 13 weeks due to the amount of sativa in it...I'll probably cut it around 11 weeks though :peace:

At my local grow shop, but I have seen them at Lowe's and Wal-Mart...but here is a link to order one if you don't have a grow shop nearby or one of these stores...http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemdesc.asp?ic=PRDOMETNGW

I do recommend getting one for sure, because it makes cloning or starting some seeds 10X easier..hope this helps..good luck :bigjoint:
