Welcome my friend!
My veg tent and setup is all new for me. In my old house I had a cabinet and I used cfl's for the light source. I really like this setup a lot!

I've heard that. I have a couple of Airpots that Santa bought me, but my next grow is autos and there 8-gallon pots so shall save those for outdoor grow. Ordered a couple of 5-gal smart pots for the autos.

That's pretty much my sequence photos go solo cups to 2 gallon to 5 gallon and autos go from solo cups to 3 gallon.I start in solo cup then 2 gallon smart then either 5 or 7 gallon smart pots depends on strain and if mother or just flowering , I always do autos in DWC BUT , sometimes in 5 gallon smarts they do very good not trying to hi jack just show you these are autos and check out rootsand that's a Ripley OG auto in roots organic soil in 5 gallon
Haven't tried DWC, looks cool, but would require more monitoring I would think. I'll stick with soil.

Hey guys I was taking a few bong rips 
and I figured that I would try out my new cloning set-up that I picked up recently. I have been itching to use this! It's a humidity dome with a heat pad and a t-5 veg light...
my older set-up was a humidity dome in the bottom of my veg cabinet under a few cfls
My girls are still a couple of weeks away from going into the flower tent.I figured that I would take them out and get a few clones off of each of them to start getting ready for my next grow.
my Dream Machine had a pretty bad lean over on the main stalk that I was trying to straighten and I snapped the stalk...
She was the 1 seed that took the longest to get growing. I kinda gave up on her until I opened her solo cup to transplant and I saw all of her roots that she had and once she was transplanted she LOVED her new home. I took 5 clones from her and will have to wait until next grow to try her!
Here's all the cuttings that I took
each cutting goes into a pete pellet and I label each cup to not get them mixed up
This morning I started a 3 gallon batch of tea for my girls...they will get a well balanced and healthy lunch
Thanks for checking out my journal I really appreciate all the input
I'm hoping to get my flower tent setup by next tuesday so that everything will be ready and waiting for the girls

The only thing dwc does is ph check in morning and night other than that it's just as easy as soil you feed once a week and that's just doing a res change

I need to go ahead and pull the trigger on a cloning kit. Might still have to use my CFL though.

Thanks! I really like it so far. My previous veg cabinet was divided with a top and bottom so I could have a clone area and a veg area. I have always had a practically 100% success rate with my clones. but now with my bigger and better tent that I have I wanted something a little more self contained for my clones and seedlings.
You made the right call by cutting those clones. Everything looks healthy and on track for a great flower! What do you make your tea out of? Earl grey or chamomile?

Thanks!
They are doing great! the original plan when I started my journal was to put 3 to flower and keep 2 in long term veg and keep them for Mother plants but my new plan after snapping my Dream Machine is to just bring these 4 to flower. I will start a couple more seeds to keep for future mother plants.for my veg tea I use Earth Juice nutrients. I have been using Earth Juice for close to the last 5 years and I love the stuff!
here is my veg formula. I let the tea brew for 24-36 hours.
15ml of Catalyst for each gallon of water
15ml of Microblast for each gallon of water
15ml of Meta-K for each gallon of water
30ml of Grow for each gallon of water
Thanks again for stopping by!
