I am trying to improve my clone production as well Dolldol I use a zero water filter, its like a Britta, only it guarantees a zero ppm you even get a ppm meter with the jug and filter to test the water. Unless Britta has changed their design since I last had one they get no where near a zero ppm. Even running my 40 to 47 ppm tap water through my Britta 3 times I could only get the ppm down to around 20. Which is why I got the zero filter.
I can verify the zero filter does this. Was money well spent, I believe it was about equal price to the Brita as well.
Very slow though.
 
We like it, on our second filter now. Still use ro machine for main water in grow. Just watered veg and flower today 20 gal each. Would tear through zero water filters fast. The hydrologic ro machine's primary filter is far from the white it was when new. Got the booster pump aquatec so less waste water.

Stripped and ready to flip (finally). Greenpoint Texas Butter, 7 females, split into two 5x5 tents. One will be HPS, the other the CMH 315 (don't have any other light to run). It's been about two and a half months since starting these seeds... finally got them under control after some time apart from them. The cloner is loaded with a cut of each pheno. The canopies are even, and the netting is ready to start weaving. I'm gonna squish them down a bit over the next couple days. Try and gain some more space for stretch.

(front right plant in this photo is not part of the TB run)

Twas the night before flipping
and all through the grow...
The canopy was stirring,
the lights were aglow. :lol::lol::lol:

Stay lifted everyone. :peace::leaf::peace:

Looks like they got nice new pots to grow in. What size are they, and where do you get the trays underneath the pots from?

Have you ever had bug problems that came from hay? I just went through my first fungus gnat infestation and topped off with spider mites around week 8. I thought that it could have come from the hay that I used?

the stuff i get is ultra processed. pre chopped and de dusted. really easy to work with :) I've never had an issue from it in the past. mites will find their way inside during the colder months... could be where they came from. I'm using straw and not hay... not sure if you're using hay or straw. hay, i would not be surprised if you got mites from as they seem to love clover!

I'm sorry man... I sterilize everything. Every single thing that comes into my room is either sterilized at 200-210 for long periods of time or soaked in a bleach bath. I don't bring boxes for amendments in; that all happens downstairs in the basement.

People are right. There are so many ways to introduce pests into your garden. Pick any standard super-soil-ish mix. Between just aeration and peat/coco, I have 5 things. Factor in amendments and composts and the total may be over 10 different products.

Factor in their production and transport chain. Your standard soil mix may have 10-30 different companies involved.

What are the odds that something got on something?

I keep a worm bin, soon to be two for increased CO2, which began as a sterilized worm base to which I added rinsed worms. A few months later, the bin is doing great. There's plenty of biology that I can control in the room.

The weakest point in my system is the use of compost teas. I use a few handfuls from three or four worm bins to populate the tea. The hay and, maybe, rice and biochar are all also sterilized prior to use in the tea.

I begin with the assumption that everything I bring in a room has every type of pest/disease. If I could leave myself at the door, I would.

I feel guilty for peaking in the tent without showering or washing my arms in hot water and alcohol.

Looking amazing buddy. How did they smell?
I haven't quite figured out how to describe it quite yet other than fresh off the plant it smells like a tropical kind of lemonade. She has that sweet/sour funk with some fruity notes in there like raspberry and something tropical like mango. it's really interesting. I'm still working on a more accurate description lol.

Man, I can't believe it's been two weeks since I posted major defoliation of the clones in solo size cups. Here they are two weeks later, you can't even tell! The defo did exactly what I needed it to, slowed them down for my soil to finish composting without getting bent out of shape in the small containers. These all got transplanted to 1 gals over the weekend. Tray includes Shangri-la, Gorilla Glue (likely my last run with it for a while), and Perkin's cut of Cannatonic (20:1 CBD:THC ratio). I'm so excited about the Perkin's, I can't wait to get me some daily CBD.

Here are the Cookies N' Chem seedlings from Greenpoint. They've finally started stacking normally. I don't get why they stretched so much from the get go but the stems are totally thick and supportive. Hoping for at least one female out of the four. I have 5 more seeds if necessary. Hopefully they'll show sex in the next week or two. They're about 5 weeks in the picture.

That's all for now. More updates over the weekend! Peeeaccccccccccccce :peace::peace::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::peace::peace:
