B/R-
Excel-Thanks dude...stick around you should be seeing more of her eventually..
MGJ- hi man! thanks for your compliments on my new diggs!!
SG55-Thanks dude...I don't lack motivation...but I lack inspiration sometimes, but not in this circumstance...I wish I had an insta-cloner It would make things easier..
Core-Hey broham nice to see ya round these parts!! thanks dude...I consider that high praise from you! :wink:
Maj-

Well where to start..
My skirmish with the borg seems to be over...that neem oil really does the trick for me!

3 cindallo, and 1 cherry SD xAK clone succeffully rooted. but I lost both of the sticky X AK47 clones (took the humidity dome off too soon)
but luckly I have another clone that is in early flower and I got a few cuts off her (sticky x AK47) and I rigged back up my bubble cloner and fired it up:

I used pH6.2 water and a tiny tad of liquid karma..I got my fingers crossed here...it will be a long time before I'll be able to do a re-veg if they don't take..

anyways I am really stoked that I was able to save the cherry pheno SDxAK from the borg...She is a fine lady and I would have been totally bummed if I had lost her..if the bubble cloner doesn't pull through for me.. this first run in the ebb & flow buckets will be clones of her.

yea stuff is rockin and rollin... peace all

a bit more of an update..

a bit more of an update..

well, no bad news to report
first a couple angles of the dirt cab..the way the new wall is I cannot seem to get the whole cab in one frame now...and I couldn't find my blue filter so you have to live with the HPS yellow until I have time to set up some decent lighting:

2 new additions to the flower cab include: Apollo 11 F2, and a BBHx??? from seed.

Got the rooted clones repotted. 3 cindy pheno Apollo 11 F2's, and 1 Cherry pheno SDxAK (back right square pot).

the clone in the cup is a sticky x AK47..
I think it's a miracle:

I had given her up for dead, but I went to shake it out of its cup and into the dumpster, and just as I was about to tip it over...I felt a disturbance in the force..err somethin..and I gave it a bit closer inspection...nope still looks dead..whatever.....I gave it a soaking with the light veg ferts that I was using to wet down the soil for the transplant..today I think there is still some life in there. I still have hope..we will see..

also, things seem to be going quite well in the bubbler, it's still early yet, but I think I have the temp about right this time:


Thanks for your interest guys!
peace

Hi everyone!


well I got the ebb abd flow buckets all together and testing:



And my clones in the bubbler started to show roots yesterday, and now they are about 2 millimeters long...should I get them in the rockwool cubes right away? help me out here hydro people!

I filled it up with 145PPM tap water yesterday and let it run for a day now, and my ppms are up to 275PPM now (nothing added)....
wtf?!? I rinsed my hydroton really well (several times)...O well I'll probably change out the res for more water and start over...I only lost a day..

Anyways my plan now is to change out the water, let it sit for a day so the chlorine evaporates, add FN grow to ~350ppms, ph down to 5.5-6.0 with phos. acid. add hygroguard and , then add my clones in 4 inch rockwool cubes buried in hydroton.

Res temp will be about 72...I'll also be adding the airstone from my bubbler as soon as I am done using it in there.

I need help/reassurances that I am not going to mess this hydro business up..
Thanks all!
peace

Oh and I'll have some more nug shots from the dirt side of the cab soon too!...And if you are wondering about the stickyberry clone in the dirt, I just found roots on the bottom of the cup today...so she will definitly survive!!

Here they was:



Here they went (after soaking/rinsing):

after they went into the rockwool, the cubes got buried about 2 inches down in the hydroton.

Here they are now:

very nice Anima...love the little clones in those BIG buckets!!! One of these days I gotta try DWC or some form of hydro..maybe!!!!LOL, I like dirt!!!!See ya later.....

[Dr Dog]

your set up is looking tight Anima

will be nice to see how this method turns out for ya

 

[Anima]

Hello!!!!!
Hey there BFL!!
...Yea quite past time for an update...
sorry for the lack of updatage lately....seems I have less and less free time to just chill around and post...

Anywhoo, things are going well!
The hydro side has 2 nice sized plants already...probably switch to flower soon.

 

[Black Ra1n]

Those things blew up, awesome man!!!

B/R

 

[hazy]

nice bushes in those buckets anima

 

[Anima]

Heya B/R and hazy!
Yea they have sure blown up!

I can't wait until I have some huge nugs to show for it...

In the mean time check out some pics of my BBH cut at 96 days flowering
dried and cured and smokes like a dream! kind of a happy creeper high..





stay kind

 

[Dr Dog]

MMMMMMMMMMM
Tasty brother, nice trics, good to see ya back

 

[Anima]

Heya Dr Dog!
Thanks for stoppin by, good to be back! (even though I never left! )

I see you are going to give the ebb and flow hydro a whirl too... the 2 liter version!
good luck man! I'm sure you will do well at it!

These buckets have been easy as pie so far...I just got done with my first res change. So far I have just been adding distilled water, and doing pH adjustments.

I totally scrubbed out the res, refilled with 13 gallons water...added 120 ml FN bloom, 16 ml floralicous bloom, 10 ml silica blast, 4 ml fulvic acid, 12 ml hydroguard.
my hanna meter reads at 800ppm.
pH adjusted to 5.6

I was going to run some clearex through it but i decided everything was fine and I'd wait till the end to crack that bottle...

The plants are doing better than anything I have ever witnessed..Which probably isn't saying much coming from me, being this is my first try and all...but still, they could probably be doing better if I had a tighter regimen of pH checking...

I also added a proper mount for the CFL's.



I am planning on sealing up the light leaks and beginning flowering very soon.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me out, and anyone else out there who has documented their grow so that us newbies had a clue what to do next!
be kind to each other
