Update: Got some things done
- Built the 24 site aero clone machine and got it up and running. I love this shit. Now, hope it works. Cost under $50. Another DIY project successfully completed. Will post some pics soon.
- Finishing out the soil grow and that will be it for soil, for now. Going to play with water now. The next batch will contain only hydro (DWC in one tent, and Coco Coir in another). Got the 5kg block (cheaper than bag ready coco coir and bag of soil), after adding few gallon of water that thing swell and filled up the 20 gallon tote. I have a good feeling about this grow medium. Going to add them in 2L hempy style, and in some airpots (1-2gal size) and put some vegging clones in flower right away.
- Starting my first auto strain "Purple Ryder". Seed in rapid rooter plug. Got two seeds (regular) hope to get one of each sex. To perpetuate the breeding program.
- Checked out the weather for the next 10 days it is getting cooler, dropping from 109F to 90F. Making preparation for the winter grows. Switching out the LED in the flower closet to 600w HPS. The LED will be for clones/mothers.

Update: DIY Aero Cloner
Here are some pics of the DIY aero as promised! This unit has a pump at 264gph. Has 16 of the 360 degrees spray heads. Using only water to prevent clogging. ph at 5.8. My first time using this hope it works. Got the timer set at 15mins on/15mins off for 24/7. Testing out with some 1024 clones. Checking ph every 3 days, and change out the rez weekly.
Cost $50 to put this together. The money saved from not buying the expensive cloner is very satisfying, and that I have leveled up on DIY skills, it's now at lvl 2. For those that built the entire grow room from top to bottom by yourself I can only imagine what the high is like.
Now, I can really hone in on the perpetual grow with 24 clones per 2 weeks, closing in from harvesting monthly to bi-weekly.
Thanks for checking out the update.

Cool, Hella Cool, Super Hella Cool!
coming along nicely my friend ...
sweet job,
Thank you gentleman. Got the major component in place to wheel the perpetual. Now on with the mother plants to increase clone production.
Getting things done slowly. The hot days are still upon us we're moving closer to 90s hoping for more showers. Each time we get some rain it feels fantastic, reminds me of the childhood days. Do you hit up the beach in San Diego? Lots of hot babes there I remember when visited 5yrs ago. I lost one Purple Ryder seed while trying to plant them. Was admiring the seed and I squeeze a bit and it popped out of my fingers and into a bucket of hydrotons. Good thing I bought two. Talking about finding a needle in a haystack. I'll be sure to swing by your grow and check it out. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the tip. Got them all rinsed out before planting seeds/clones. I'm craving coconut drinks now since I've been messing with coco coir for the past few days. The plant get theirs I want to get mine. What was your experience with Coco Coir like? Pro and Cons?

Store bought? Oh you shouldn't have. Thanks. No one said anything about the pink color, yet haha. It was the only one they got so that's the story. What's the average rooting time for your cloner?
Dude that is a fat set up. You have inspired me.
Yes I live about a mile away from the beach bro tons of babes in the summer but girls down here are way to stuck up but down to smoke all your medz lol I shouldn't really complain about how hot it is when its only around 85 an your hitting high 90's to 100's bummer on that seed I've had a few get away from me to

Thanks S2J! Are you going to make one yourself? Glad you found some inspiration here. Thanks for the +rep!

Can't stand stuck up girls. Some are still like that after a blunt, wtf. haha, where I'm at during Summer we wish for Winter, and vice versa. I'm ready for Winter because I'll be living in my grow room with HID going off 24/7 rotation veg/bloom to keep warmth. While blocking out the central heat from coming in adding on more heat. It'll be so cold that all running 1.5K watt of lights will still be cold. There has been around 40 people die this Summer due to heat related in my area. The world is telling us something with abnormal weather behaviors...

Hey Dr Feelgood. Thanks man. I'll DIY as much as I can to save. And if I can do it there's no need to rely on manufactures and its warranties.
Man that is so cool. I would buy it.
Thanks gittergreen. Oh yeah? It's going to be $59.99 for you, hehe.
Thanks GreneLeaf. DIY is great, design to your own desire. The 24 site I was looking at from a company was too small, and the cuttings would be crowded. Will see how well this works and might just grow with it in SOG style. Under $50 for 24 sites, that's about $2 per site vs buying is about $8 per site (for 24 sites). Let me know when you create one would like to check it out. Thanks for stopping by.

Update: Pineapple Express
Pineapple Express, 8 weeks in bloom. Starting to flush now. Will keep this going for 7-14 more days. The seed pods from one bud site is swollen in goodness. Enjoy the pics.
Vegetation Tent
Got 3 DWC 5 gal buckets going. They are doing great. The roots are finally hitting the rez and is exploding. I'm going to do a mini-dwc soon in 1 gal bucket. Also got Coco Coir going in airpots (3gal & 1gal) and 2L bottles with hydrotons (2in on the botton, and 2in on top) with OC+ on top (1tsp/gal). Where I get the medium from they are $12 for 5kg block, killer deal got a bunch. 1 block = 60-70 liters. All the airpots + 2L you see in the pics are from 1 block, heh. These are the mother room, some clones, some doubles, some single strain.
I've decided to hold on to the auto drip system for now (was going to update that next). Next update will be the ScrOG closet flowering grow.
