Got to love a good wife that helps with the change over. That is the most work of all of it for me. My wife scubs the trays, walls, and floors while I deal with the pumps, chillers, etc. Ofcourse she cleans in the nude too lol.
The buds look great quick. It looks like you got some top shelf smoke for sure. Doesn't it feel good when your not dealing with pests or mildew? IMO the most important thing is to stay pro-active and preventative. Great work man, I think I just repped you, but you have some more comming when I can.
Oh and I love the no down time. You are definatley getting this shit down now.

Very nice, thats my problem no dry area. I just keep jumping around different spots different ways until i can think of a permenit location for it, might even just break down and get a tent that i can use for just drying when the time comes.

Lucky man to have a wife thats into the grow and helping out.

Yeah it would be nice to have a seperatre area for drying. And I try to never take my wife for granted she is a great support for everything. Although Im gonna have to tell her about Raiderfans wife cleaning in the nude to see If I can get her on that program.

I was admiring my pk mama tonight so I thought Id share some pics. Shes nice and squat, bonzai stylee.

Here she is getting hacked up.

Heres the clones in the veg area. I got new trays for the bottom of the veg box. they are much better for water not getting everywhere. The humidifier pours out the mist right over the baby girls to keep them nice and moist.
IMG_2836.jpg
over the clones I run a 150w metal halide that I rigged up from an old salt water coral light and bought a grow mh bulb for it. Here it is in the home made reflector. It does the job for the clones and then I can keep the two 400w bulbs off.

Everything is rolling along well right now. Again in the very beginning of flower the girls were getting a little toxicity of something. I think that it was the big up powder that is recommended to "start off flowering". It was not very bad this time but I flushed well and lowered ppm to 700 last week for new nutes. Ive gotten tired of trying to put together the best recipe to get great results and have seen great results using the H & G line. So Ive switched over this last week and the girls are loving it. Ill use the rest of my gh nutes for veg as Ive had good results so far for that. Then the full line h&g nutes will be started at week 1 of flower.
This week they got a little less ppm than the h&gchart shows for week three but Im bringing them up slowly. They are looking pretty far along for two weeks in. I cant wait to start feeding the bud xl and top booster. Heres the canopy of green crack. Its not as full as I thought it would be at this point. Well see if it fills up.

Heres one girl that is a little different than the others. Big huge fan leaves. Darker green color. Stout ass stems. Oh shit looks like quickrip cant keep his clones straight. I mixed one PK into the gc. No big deal, but I thought Id share. Ha ha :clap: great job asshole! Heres a shot of her.
IMG_2931.JPG

The clones are all looking good for next run of solid pk. From now on Im rotating and keeping to one strain per round. Heres a shot of the pk mom after her clones taken last week and I cleared out a section of pot for the gc to go.Im gonna have two moms in the one big pot. Bonzai mothers! Heres also a shot of the clones under my diy 150w metal halide 24 hrs a day to save on energy. I think that the 400 watters would be too much for the clones anyway. I dont keep the humidity dome over them anymore. I just put the humidifier right next to them rolling out mist all day and night. This method worked great last round so Im sticking with it. The couple of yellow leaves on the right side of the clone tray are gc clones that I will chose a mother from to go in the mom pot.

Lookin good quick. I am going with all pk next run as well. It is nice to have one strain at a time so everything finishes together and reacts the same to the growing conditions. Your GC are looking stellar.

Thanks man. Lotsa pk comming in about 3 months it sounds like. Thats exactly why Im going one at a time from now on. Well that is if I can keep my clones straight. I think Ill be running pk for the next couple rounds while the gc mom gets big enough to clone off of. Definitely not a bad thing.

Im not a fan of the dome either. I have clones a few times about 6 months ago. Im looking to set up and do it right, with the right tools that is. I know they like 5.5 and no to wet/not to dry. Im gonna do clones from clones to save money between rooms. All i need is a heating mat and light.
Whats your ph for the cloning water? do you use superthrive aswell? Rootech?
How many times do you have to water those clones and how fast do they root?
Whats your temps like in the cloning booth with the hoodless 125?
Im thinking bout switching over to flood and drain my self. So im just taking notes.

I cant get clones to root for the life of me but I think Im going to pick up a humidifier and see if I cant get it right after seeing you use one with good results.

Bro, have you tried coco coir? It is the easiest way to get roots IMO. I pre-soak the coco with hygozyme and root excel over night, then just dip the cuttings in rooting gel and stick them in the coco. I use a dome when using coco and usually see roots in a week or so. I personally like the aero-cloner, but the coco works every time. As a test, I have even just wet a cup of coco with plain water and stuck a cutting in the cup with no gel and had roots in about 14 days, I did have to re-wet the coco once though. I think some strains are harder than others to clone though.

looks great rip!!!!!!!!!!!!

still have to spread some more love around it sucks when you only watch a few grows, never can give out rep when you want to, well at least to those chosen few.

Keep up the great work, always enjoy looking at your setup, youcan tell youu put allot of time thinking of how you wanted to lay it out and did a great job and making it all fit and work.

Well man Im still learning as well but I feel the most important thing is the humidity. I keep the rockwool wet all the time. And I mean wet! I use super thrive and very light nutes at 200 ppm. My temps are at about 80. So far the best results for me have been since the addition of the ionic humidifier.

These h&g nutes are great I feel like Im a week ahead of where Im normally at ( growth wise) this far along in flower. Every plant is healthy and full of crystals. Right now Im runnin 1150 ppm ph of 5.7 and co2 ppm of 1400. The ladies are getting watered twice a day and seem happy as hell.
This time around was my best yet for taking clones. All took root and most have rediculous amounts out the bottom of the cubes.

You will love it. Are you using ro water? I recommend that for sure. And I will try.

Nah but now that winter has rolled around my tap is only .2 EC which is only 100 ppm on the .5 scale. I may get a RO system, but in my experience I have good enough water to not need one.
