midwest growers unite

[dontstepongrass]

baba - the double trays are indeed to keep rapid rooters moist. the domes use thermostatically controlled heat mats (probes are stuck into medium inside dome)

this keep temps within 3-4 degrees at all times.

man i miss getting some quality clones in the mail since i quit growing...... maybe itll happen again someday!

there's my grow thread that i just started. come represent murda crew

 

[catman]

Here are some day 43 (from flip) Micro Midwest style!

Sativa pheno..

 

[dontstepongrass]

well murda, just got some mountain high haze (afghany/haze) x ssh f2's in the mail along with some MOD kali-most. I even got some of luaith's bs2.2xgk! i wonder if lu still lurks on this thread...

oh, and i shot this pic tonight...

the seeds would be (TWxAS) x (SDxOG) f2

 

[Bababooey]

Some really nice, frosty looking buds in the midwest!
Whatevercomes, those purple buds look great. Dont you just love when the leaves get that thick layer of trichs coating the edges? You must be doing something right...
Catman, that's an excellant pic. So you're half cloudy/half clear on the trichs? Are you going to harvest soon or wait till they're mostly cloudy, some amber?
Dontstep, I think I see an amber trich or two. How did you pollinate? Did you use the brush method? The seeds that came sound very promising. Are you hoping for a haze pheno?

 

[lemonskunk420]

Nice and frosty for being pollenated there dontstep,looks like some good bud.

 

[csedge]

Whats up midwest? I dont think ive ever posted in but im at the start of the second go, heres a picture of what ihave to start with.

[Big D]

Hey guys! I'm in Chicago... love the thread! Glad to see the midwest representing.

I'll be back for sure, peace!

 

[dixbutler]

I'll try a little vegging. I really don't think any have gotten much. Thanks for the tip.

 

[onahah]

csedge : lol, your clone looks like my big plant mine is dead from root rot in a waterfarm/dwc setup.
is yours back to life yet?

 

[Bababooey]

Csedge: I think purple stems might be a sigh of undernuting. I know they're clones, but if they were fully rooted when they came to you then they might need some light nutes.

Luaith: Are those your sdogs? How old are those? Mine are growing slowly, two of them Really slowly. This might be a strain that needs a long veg time in order to yield.

Big D: Welcome from a fellow Chicagoen!

My Aerogarden, in two weeks, rooted 2 out of seven clones. The ones that rooted rooted very well, very transplantable roots. The ones that didnt didnt even have any nubs going.
I think this may be due to too much light. The two that rooted were furthest from the one light bulb (the aerogarden fits two). So maybe if i reduce light even more, dont use the aerogarden light and put a lower wattage cfl lamp over them, light will be lowered enough that they'll all root.
Or maybe I put too much nutes in there. I put a few drops of gh lucas formula and maybe i should cut the nutes entirely, at least until they pop some good roots.
If so then i wont even have to make an ezcloner, especially if i can put 3 cuts per hole

bubble bubble

bubble bubble

 

[lemonskunk420]

Pass that jar over here

 

[idoreallytry]

for sure that is a lovely jar
beam me up dontstep lol,,,peace

hey baba nice roots congrats

honestly with my homemade bubble cloner i use tapwater which is about 180 ppm straight outa tap and i put maybe 1 dropper full of the liquid karma,,,it might make the mix 225ppm or so,,give the liquid karma a try i doubt you will be dissappointed,,,i am not saying it is the best and if their is something better i am sure someone will let you know, and i don't know if i mentioned it before but i still dip the cut in clonex when i use the bubble cloner,,,don't know if it is helping but like i said i have tried three varieties 4 clones each time,and 100 % success so far knock on wood lol,,,and for the light problem either cut a piece of poly or mylar to fit over the lid of your cloner and just poke holes where you need to stick stems thru, or cut an x over each netcup site and just push netcup thru and it will make a nice tight light proof fit around netpot and covers top of cloner with reflective material,,, hope you get it all figured out hope i am not sounding like a know it all, becuz i am defiantely not and would never claim to be,,just trying to give you a cheaper easier fix than switching lights and all that and just trying to help you in general,,,peace,,,sending good cloning vibes your way,,,peace

 

[Bababooey]

Dontstep: Man oh man, that is one mighty fine jar of bubble! How much is in there, like 10 grams? You got WAY more bubble than I did, although honestly I only ran my trim once, I'm kicking myself for not running it at least twice, would have definitely been worth the trouble.
That hash looks like chips of toffee candy. Did it dry in the bottom of a pan? Is that why it looks so flat?
I smoked my bubble in a precooled bong with a Hakko ceramic soldering iron. I highly recommend the Hakko; for like $25 you get a great smoking utensil, perfect for taking huge hits of hash and resin.

IDoreally: Thanks for the advice! I've heard loads of people say good things about Liquid Karma, seems to be one of the few additives that are really worth the money.
The possible light issue I have is not one of light getting to the water, it was too much light causing some of the clones not to root. When you're rooting clones, if you have too much light on them that forces the clone into veg mode and it wont root (or so ive read; makes sense i guess).
You did give me a good idea: instead of using a different CFL light, maybe I should hang up some cheesecloth to block some of the light from the aerogarden's bulb. A little shade will bring the lumens down and maybe not cause the clones to try to veg...

 

[idoreallytry]

Less work is always better in my mind,,, good call on the cheesecloth,,,hope it works,,,i thoght you were referring to the roots getting light but i can see what you mean,,, you need to have that cloning down for when you find that special strain,,,peace bro

$995 & $1,500.......

$995 & $1,500.......

for 10 seeds??? what's up with that? and to claim its the strongest on earth? thats pretty bold of them(bc seeds)....there also some femanized seeds going for $1,500....it's nothing but greed folks IMHO...Hope this helps.

 

[dontstepongrass]

wow pc, that's ridiculous. it's all marketing hype for the sheep...

baba- that's 18 g's son. i ran mine 3 times, also. from the bubble bags i scooped it out with a spoon and then onto the mesh cloth (there r 2 included with bubble bag brand bags) and the mesh cloth is ontop of cardboard. the mesh cloth wicks water away from the bubble and the cardboard absorbs it. after a few days laying out like this and drying, i peel the back of the mesh cloth from the hash like peeling the back off a sticker or band-aid (u get the mental imagery, i hope) what's left is nice, thin, flakes of hashy goodness. also, i break them up into smallish chunks so that moisture is not trapped inside. moldy hash = iso run, and i got enough iso so let's just make some GOOD bubble shall we?
