re: Ok Noob First Grow
Thanks Corey And Thanks To BPN! All is well.
Came out to my room this morning to a wet floor. The clone machine has been dripping and last night it got worse. After attending to the water on the floor, I added 2 sided foam tape to the rim of the box. After pressing the lid to it, I saw no more drips. Will have to monitor/check again after work. i think it's good. I will start the 5 gal clone machine tonight. If it comes together as expected I might move the clones to it....If I do I wil add an aquarium heater to raise the temps instead of rely on the heater in the room.

re: Ok Noob First Grow
I am having a minor issue with one of the large plants. It is much lighter in color then the other. The tips of the leaves are starting to curl under a little too. I have been giving them water when the buckets feel light in weight, about every 3-5 days 1/2 gal each.
But why the color diff? Cal Mag def? too much water?

Nice pic of the roots. Could we have a pic of the plant that is concerning you?

re: Ok Noob First Grow
2Js- I will get a pic shortly.
I have been rebuilding my clone machine. I woke up to a flood. The box started to drip again. So I went with a 5 gallon bucket this time. Made an "S" shape sprayer set up for the inside of bucket and put 12 sprayer heads (from Home Depot) with the same 170-300gph pump from the old bucket.
I gotta say it seems to work better. There is no drip at the lid seals the bucket tight and is slightly resessed so if any water did come thru the top it would drain back into the bucket, I even turned the pump up to 300gph and it has a great spray. Looks like it should work well. If anyone needs directions messege me for the parts list. For a small clone machine (9 position) this seems very efficient and fool proof. Hope to show the results soon.

re: Ok Noob First Grow
Ok so here is a pic of the sick plant and my new 5 gallon clone machine... Only thing I can say there is don't get the sprayer heads at Home Depot. The red ones from the hydro store work MUCH better. I might have killed the clones while remaking the machine 2 times. I will give them 24 hours and if they don't perk up I will take new clippings.
ANy advise on the sick plant would be great...

re: Ok Noob First Grow
Update:
I pulled all the clones last night and cut new ones. It seems as if the sprayers from Home Depot suck. I used them and they sprayed for just a few mins appearantly. I checked back on the a few hours later and they looked half dead. I built a new inner unit and used the red sprayers from hydro store and they spray 4 ft out of the bucket. They work great. So new clones and a delay of about a week.
Still no clue whats up with that one plant... any ideas?

re: Ok Noob First Grow
Well last night I changed the water in all buckets including the clone machine.
PH'd the water in the buckets to 6.0 add 3.0 ml part A & B of the Blue Planet Nutes. They seemed to like the nutes last time. I did however keep the nutes at 3.0ml as they seemed to dislike more then that .All the buckets now have amazing root systems. Plants are really starting to grow and fill out.
Clone machine- I changed a sprayer head out last night to one of the good ones. Going to pick a few extras up, didn't get the chance with all the snow yesterday. I also added an airstone to the clone machine after changing the water out and wiping down the bucket and pump. Hope it works this time as I want to move some plants to flower.
Still no replys on the one plant with faded color? Anyone? I did pinch off a couple of the worst leaves as I just didn't want to look at them any more.

re: Ok Noob First Grow
Latest update,
PH was a little low. 5.3-5.5 in each bucket.
Roots look amazing. Almost fill the bucket...
Otherwise all is well.
Clones are starting to show roots on about half of them. A couple not looking so good. But saw roots on about 4-5 of them.

re: Ok Noob First Grow
I am waiting to see. There are a lot of yellowing leaves. I have removed a bunch. There is new green growth so I think it is on the mend,or at least I hope it's on the mend.
I was most excited to see the small new roots in the clone machine....

re: Ok Noob First Grow
Excited to report that 7 of 9 of the clones now have some roots. WoooHooo it works...
Some actually have alot more then others. But they are rooting....
Now I need 8 more buckets and drip rings.
I plan on hanging my 2 other 1000 watt lights and flip 4 plants to flower. I decided to wait on the light mover.

re: Ok Noob First Grow
Thanks Kamy! I am excited too. I am very pleased with 7 of 9 (checked again this morning). Some of the roots are already growing thru the bottom of the netpot.
I added some root stimulator to the bucket last night. It called for 2 capfulls per gallon. I have 4 gallons in the bucket but only added 2 capfulls of root stim. I think this is why the leaves were getting discolored and droopy, NO FOOD! SO after adding the RS the plants look better already. Hopefully the last 2 will kick out some roots today while I am at work.
thats good news insuranceguyim happy for you

re: Ok Noob First Grow
Well the clones you saw were the first. They failed due to a malfunction in my last clone machine.
I altered that and made a 5 gal bucket clone machine 9 position. And yes this is my first successful attempt at cloning. At least I think successful with 7 of 9 rooting.
Thanks for tagging along and responding...

re: Ok Noob First Grow
Awesome. I was very nervous myself. The first time I had a friend, with experience, do the cutting. They died due to cloner malfunction. The next ones I did myself. As of last night I had 8 out of 9 clones with roots. This is good cause I have a friend growing a strain I want and am getting 2 more clones from him. That willl give me 4 quality strains, "g13 haze", "#2", "Sputnik" and "Northern Lights #5". Can't wait for the "Northen Lights". I may also get ahold of "Da Purps" in the next few weeks and would like to get "Sac Cut" too
I will be moving plants to flower by the 1st of jan.
I , with the help of a couple other patients/friends , am in process of making a 12 bucket res system for the veg room. It will make things so much easier. I will keep the single buckets for the flower room for now.
