When do you plan on taking clones? Off her ?

Looks great as usual! I didn't know that about the clones. I wonder if I should put mine in the closet with big mama and the cfl plant lights going 24/7. Hmmmmm what do you think? Peppa and #lilSwagg are officially racing now FYI! They look very similar and are the same age
so I must be doing it right this time! Have a great day Big

Basically over the next week I'll be doing defol n I'll probably chose a day to cut about 12 clones, still debating trying to wait until were in flower so I can try monster cropping but I think in the name of the perpetual grow well keep it simple this round. Basically gunna try to get the clones rooted and veg for 2 months and then go at flowering at least the blue cindy again. Might go grab peat pucks or something to make it a bit less idiot proof lol then I'll need a little cfl and I'll just set the clone dome up somewhere else!
Lol good morning .

It's just better to have them under distant light so a cfl a few inches away is perfect . clones don't need too much light, just enough to stay alive, almost like they are trapped under the canopy lol
Lol well your in coco so I definitely expect you to kick my bum . Peppa is a little feisty one though . she'll put up a fight XD
Thanks for sayin hi! Have a great day Newty!

I think the easiest and cheapest way I've seen is a cup of water under a cfl lol I might have to try it myself if I can't get it down :S

Yep heard that too ....I've heard of RE-using homemade Popsicle makers as clone trays ... and then add light ... usually they hold 4-6 clones

Quick morning pics!
I do plan on getting all caught up at some point today, just not sure when I'll get time to sit down and read :S for now some pink pics! Thanks for all the support homies, I'm sure these plants would not be this cool if I didn't have you here.
Salt if she doesn't make one we will name another in her honor lol
Peppa day 18
Already loving her structure, clearly nice genes there
Psycho WW Day 52

Lol these lights are too much XD
Moira BC Day 50
Alecxks BC Day 50
All still praying this morning and looking slightly insane so I decided not to water quite yet, I'll probably go for it in a couple hours! Just og tea n water till 15 percent run off today, don't even know how to measure 15 percent run off but well get it
I'll try to at least be active in here today and then I'll get caught up as I can find free time! Have a great day y'all! Hope everyone's gardens are sailing along <3
Much love from the rainy coast

Ooh that's a cool idea!
I was also thinking about throwing an airstone into a Rubbermaid n getting some kind of rubber gasket and making a cheap diy areo cloner lol
I think thats just my brain trying to get me to go hydro XD

Lol well whichever one of us gets to that first let's post the build .
I just can't think of a cheap gasket material :S might have to go snoop around the building stores today hmm
Wanna do something to increase my cloning success, I think the big thing is just the led is too much power. To me clones are akin to putting flies in a fridge as a kid. And lights are the temperature. So the lower you can get the temperature(I.e. lessen the intensity of the light) the metabolism of the fly or plant in this case slows down, as does it's heart beat and brain activity. Basically suspending it between life and just before death lol that's ideal for keeping the clone from eating itself before it can root XD
Lol that's my ultimate analogy for cloning.
I’ve made two aero cloners until I found this one...of all places this was sitting on the shelf at my local Home Depot:
Viagrow Aeroponic Cloning Machine 24 Replacement Reservoir and Lid-VCLN24BT - The Home Depot
They work well. I can normally have roots in 8-14 days with not much effort. Woohoo!

That's a pretty good option! I'll have to see if there's any stores near me that have something like that! May be cheaper than getting another air pump etc.I've made two aero cloners until I found this one...of all places this was sitting on the shelf at my local Home Depot:

Thank you! I had no idea what key word to look up XD woo team hydro ftw!.
Just tested out my watering system . girls got a healthy dose of og tea and straight oxygenated water :3
Run off ppms were around 1000- I realized I have been using e.c. instead of ppm so a .5 multiplier instead of .7 so I've been feeding everything really strong :S
Little to no burn on these girls tho so if I run 9 alecxks clones next run I may try the full strength schedule n see how they do :S lol for now I'll gettem cleaned up n ready for flower nutes :3 Lol glad i didn't feed again XD
Wand hooked up to 400 gph sub pump
Drop pump into res
Water to your hearts content .
Lol love this system, really need some hydroton to top dress so I don't have promix shifting around exposing roots when I water, but the extra soil i added helped for sure! Thanks again for all the input here :3
