After 24 hours with the light @ 100% and the exhaust on high to dry everything out, yesterday I filled up the RDWC. I went with 152g MC for 45G of water, or about 3.4g/G. I also put in about 10ml of pH down (due to alkalinity in my well water). That should be close, and I'll adjust daily until I am at around 5.8pH.
I also set up a table in the tent and put the cloner in there. I've been fiddling with the AeroGarden trying to keep the light on as close to 24/0 as possible. It looks like it worked, I kept them from going into flower. Now that they're in the tent at 20/4 they should continue to veg. The VSFD6500 is at 30% on seedling mode, giving the clones about 15DLI.
Today I put the best four clones in the RDWC. All of the clones had several roots at least 6". For each site, I filled the netpot about halfway with rocks. Then I coated the roots in @DYNOMYCO and spread them out horizontally. Then I filled in the rest of the netpot with rocks.
Finally, I covered the top with mylar film. Sure, it's a PITA and it takes longer than putting the clones in the netpot but it does help keep any light out of the res It also helps keep the res cooler before the canopy covers it.
It will take a couple of days for the roots to reach down into the res. Once that happens these girls will really start growing!

Well, I have about a half dozen more clones if you can pick them up! Otherwise, I'll put them in a 4" pot with FFHF and I'm sure I'll find someone to take themYeah, that's a downside, but it might be a homerun too.
I think you're closest to me geographically.
Thanks Shed.Damn you clean up nicely.Great success with the clones and congrats on the new light...can't wait to see how full the tent gets this time!
I sure hope not. I made sure the clone I put back there was a good one, at least as good as the others. If it happens again, I'll need to look closer at that corner (light/RDWC/airflow).Any bets on whether the back left corner is a runt even with clones?
