yeh the soil ones are looking pretty good. I have my soil dialed in pretty well ;)
looks like a little too much N in the coco, they stretched a little bit.

I'm making good progress on the new cab. Just doing some smoothing out and painting....there's just cutting and mounting the insert doors and lighttrap..then doing a bunch of temp tests with the controller and all it's crazy settings. A few more days and it should be up and running. I also have a few addons for it planned out for the future but I better get it running first, I can't wait to fire it up for real.

Thanks for stopping by guys! :wave: sorry I haven't been posting much but I always lurk...


slow progress on the new cab..I spend alot of time watching paint dry.



gettin there...still need to build the insert doors but that will go quick. I made a 6"x12" scrubninja lightrap. It's turning out pretty nice..I have it framed in and still need to paint it...the caulking is still drying :whee: I fired up the fans to help dry it :)

did a buncha stuff today. Chopped some clones, planted some clones, killed some clones,threw a SH and BMR into 12/12...chopped my seeded cd/sd..built a lil hydro setup in a gatorade bottle and threw a bmr in it to veg (1/2str lucas) ..and I still have a bunch of watering and nute mixing to do.

No rest for the wicked.:sasmokin: ..I'm off to check cloner cab #6184

anything ya wanna see in particular? ;)



tapped into the airline for my cloner..don't worry I'll put a black sock over it before anyone yells at me!
 
The Death of the clones for sure... :p

Nah, I would really like to see the seeded Chica you chopped. Prolly too late for that.

You try cloning straight into coco yet? Might just make you replace that cloner the way people hype it. I will be taking a shot at it in a week. Though, I want to do a perpetual... I think I am just going say fuck it and butcher my ladies and throw however many clones I can get off them into the box. :p

I think you should run a side by side... Gatorade hydro vs. Coco. ;)

hehe..I'm just doing the hydro to preveg a plantlet or 2 for the big "box"..I spoze I do have a plethora of clones though....

I've thought about cloning in coco but I like the space that the bubbler saves..and it's very low maintenance...last time I tried cloning in coco pucks they all dried out. Things are running pretty smooth currently, I'm kinda scared to screw it up right now lol.

the seeded plant was the kinda sideways one that was in the dresser cab..didn't see too many visible seeds...but the buds looked nice..a little sparse but super frosty.

I was out looking at a few cameras today..maybe I'll finally pick one up this week. I'm just really picky and it's hard to test them in the store cuz they never have memory cards in them so you can't take a macro and check it out.

Looking great Stealth!!
My canon camera takes great macro's and it was pretty cheap..I'll try to find a link so you could check it out...got it at wally world...
what ph do you have the water at in your bubbler?? I made one too and it works great but I used plain tap water which the ph was WAY over 7...ugh...killed 5 clones...
thanks and looking forward to more pics:)
 
For sure, I have a cannon point and shot... Go check out the macros I took on my grow show. Using a loop. The cannon takes great macro's... Paid like 200 for it... probably the same on bc has. :p Though, I got mine somewhere sides walmart... f those basturds.

thanks alot BC :tiphat: I used to have a really nice canon sd790 li or something I think..I think I might just get the same camera off ebay or something, that thing took great macros.

I've never checked the ph of my cloner..I just put straight tap water in it and try to change it at least once a week. PH of my hydro and coco stuff is all 5.9 I'm guessing the ph of my tap/bubbler is like 7.4 or so. Very rarely I'll put a splash from the coco nute jug in there..or a tiny bit of "grow" but only if I'm behind on clones, or they start losing color early. I think mine works so well because it gets alot of fresh air..I haven't even bother to light proof it because I've had great results so far. Also when cutting I try to get a nice clean cut...if it's not a clean cut it tears smashes and damages the cell walls and makes it harder for them to produce roots.

coloradomedical- I'll be sure to check it out, I've started putting my magnifying lens over my cell camera and it makes a huge difference on the closeups for sure.

thanks GW and thanks for stopping by :wave:

doing some temperature tests..I think my workhorse 5 is interfering with my temperature probes. On the first 3 temps it jumps around ~15 degrees while the lights are on..but as soon as they're off they stabilize. Tested it a few times and I'm sure it affects them..thought it was the light giving me weird readings but I shaded them and get the same effect. The 4th temp lead doesn't jump around like that and the probe and it's wires are furthest from the ballast. Not exactly sure if I can fix that, I'll try to move the probes to the left side of the box and reroute the wires further from it....maybe a ferrite clamp thingie? We'll see.

The airflow turned out pretty cool. I found out when I have the top loaded with pots and I fill the gap on the right above the intake..the intake gets diverted to under the pots and will blow/suck air up from under the plants...a pretty cool effect that I didn't plan :jump:

I'm basically just finishing up the insert doors and trying to figure out how to seal them perfectly. I made the metal framing on the top box slightly crooked so the insert doesn't fit flush...(I blame the bluedream!)..I might just end up tearing out the frame and redoing it :( The bottom frame is solid though.
