The Rooster's Multi Strain Multi Light - Indoor Outdoor Grow - Mars LED

Well said Rooster! Congrats on getting off the hard stuff and setting yourself up with a bank of knowledge and experience. And thanks for sharing it :).

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. If only you could all see how many plants I had that came out poorly. Then you would understand how much I appreciate the kind words and positive vibes. I’ve had a few hundred turn out pretty shitty. My early years of growing we’re pure outdoor growing and a gigantic lack of knowledge. Back then I was listening to the old timers and the people I knew that grew. And they are all full of second hand bullshit knowledge. Miracle grow? Lol I made lots of mistakes by listening to the wrong people. I had a severe opiate addiction to. I have a fake right hip and a 9 year addiction that cost me my career as a law enforcement officer (I was indeed lol)
But when I got clean in 2012 I dedicated my free time to reading. I have read lots and lots of reading books and countless of hours on the online forums. Most of my knowledge came from grass city I won’t lie that there are some seriously experienced members over there. Jerry in organics especially. But the enviornment here is so much warmer.

So I spent 2 1/2 years reading everything I could. And in the last 2 1/2 years I’ve been trying to implement what I learned. Plus I was sick of paying for pot.

Growing and marijuana has kept me completely clean from every substance I should mention. I havnt even taken a Tylonel since October 2012

I’m stoned and rambling now.
What I meant to say is I’ve fucked up a lot lol and fucked up a lot of plants.

But I’m getting there and the support keeps you keepin on. Which is why I want to start supporting so many other growers who are probably struggling for consistency like I did.

Love my growing community on here. Wish we could all meet up and get ripped and chill around a camp fire

I would so sit around that campfire. It would be a fun time for sure.

So, you didn’t just throw a bean in the dirt and she popped out like that? Hmmmm...you must of been doing wrong back then huh? LOL. I was under the old misconception that, “it’s a weed, how hard can it be?” Fun times...NOT! I’m so glad we rounded that corner huh?

Dudeeeeeee hahahahahahahahhaha exactly

Once I got over the "how hard could it be phase" and became humbled about my inability to grow. That's when I started actually learning and seeing results lol it seems like the more I listen and less I think for myself the better I do. Lol the science behind the plant is solid. The basics will always get you a harvest and the science can always improve it. Link those two things together with a desire to learn and be better and anything is possible with a plant!
Just look at sphynx lol dude yielded 18.2 pounds off a single outdoor plant this year. If that doesn't inspire you to learn more than you think you know already than I don't know what does. Lol
 
My homemade cloner.

It is just a tote. I removed the handles and then stuck a bolt in the holes that the handles slid into. And then put some silicone around them to stop any leaks.
After that I drilled 2" holes in top of the lid. Then I purchased cups from the hydro shop and collars (pucks is what I call them) from the hydro shop as well. And a pump. (In hindsight I wish I would have bought the smaller pump and not listened to the grow shop guy convince me to buy the bigger one) the amount of water my cloner holds does heat up slightly. A smaller pump would be better. I could also solve this by using thicker pvc pipe for less friction. But it works just fine and temps are not hot by any means.

Then I purchased 3 pvc T's and 4 90's.
Pipe them all together like in the picture. The use a 7/32nd drill bit. (I think that's what it was) and drill evenly spaced holes all the way around it. Misters can be purchased at the grow shop as well for about 5 cents a piece.

Thread those suckers in.

Get clonex for a rooting compound.
I also use 1/4 teaspoon of floragro in my cloner with the water ph at 5.8
The floragro will keep your leaves nice and green compared to the traditional yellowing most clones show.
This will help the clone pick up once it's out of the cloner. I see roots in 5-7 days. Full baskets in 12-14. If I'm too lazy to transplant it's fine as well because the floragro will give enough nutrients for the plant to start growing inside the cloner once it puts roots on.

I should also mention the dick move I made when I purchased the tote. I took a second lid and stacked them together so it looked like one. I have the one lid with less clone sites on top for majority of the year and then I have another lid with a ton of holes for gearing up for outdoor season.

I should also mention it's perfectly fine to put more than one clone in each cup. Sometimes I'll stick 3 in the same site if space requires it.


Happy growing ya fucks
 
Awesome dude I just made my friend buy z7 for his hydro grow. He has a hidden stealth tub grow like dabber. I'll steal some from him.
I didn't know it was beneficial for clones really. But I'll be trying it if you recommended it penny. Pretty sure I made him get it because you were recommending it to someone else a few months back

It keeps slime from forming on stems and roots and allows them to uptake what they need so much more efficiently

When I made my first cloner I was plagued with slime. And algae lol

I was dumb and didn't realize that algae forms from light passing through water molecules. I had a clear tote ......

Live and learn.

They destroy my clones lol. I'm not running the cloner right now it's broken down and bleached. Another month and I'll be firing it back up when he new strains are ready to take tops off.
But those misters and that set up rocks em. Full baskets and I mean full lol.

I'll never clone in dirt again ..
 
If Grandpa wants to hug them they've got to be good! And they love your lights...the lower buds don't look larfy at all :).
