and what the hell is 'turdface'! HAHAH!!

I've used diatomaceous earth for bug controll in my attic and out in the yard.. good stuff..
I realize this Axis must be much more coarse than the bug stuff..
but I thought DE was silica based.. is that silica, as in makes my Ph go UP!??

there are other techs to get big clones (mini-trees) from low #s, in same tyme...

don't worry about it. nothing bothers me. i'm like a duck. i can swim, walk, and fly. you are right about assumptions. maybe i've made one assuming you are using one of these.
the coco falls out of my 1.5" tailpiece tube when i forget to put a piece of screen over the bottom end. i've accidentally omitted it several times and, when i rinse it in, it basically dumps the contents of the tailpiece.

here is a nice link to a conversation about axis and turface. i've never tried it but it looks good.

here are the specs:
http://www.axisplayball.com/AXIS_specifications.htm
it is supposedly neutral
but I just randomly checked on of my Axis reservoirs and the pH was 7 (all my other stuff is around 5.8 - 6.2).
I plan to keep an eye on this, thanks for the input.
Maybe I am packing it too tightly... because once I water and a little bit comes out, none comes out.
I hope I am not packing it too tightly. This can affect drainage. I wonder how a tightly packed wick compares to a not so tightly packed... Maybe I am over complicating things here...
Can someone tell me if I'm off base here...
I have all my bucket in buckets sitting in a tray. They are not yet connected. My goal was to get the EC on all the buckets about equal before connecting them and putting them on the floor.
I'm now starting to think that due to small diffs in the hight of the drain hole (where the hose will go) I may be actually causing the EC to not be equal and would get them balanced out quicker if I just connect them and start the bottom watering.
Right now I have just flooded the table to a little higher than the drain holes so they are all sharing a common water level and source till I can get the gromets I need to hook up my t connectors and hoses...

4=1 tech...
2-4 cut, merge into "Y" shape. lower part of "Y" are base of scions. Y shape is to keep terminal flowers growing in different directions, to not crowd. the Y is stem bent @ a node. @ least 1-2 nodes beneath intersect of Y.
1.
slice base of scions to 1-2" long, @ 60* angles. to expose cambium
2.
wrap & tie w/ floss. tightly, from top to bottom of sliced part.
3.
coat w/ honey or molasses, or bloom fert, to seal wound & decrease water-loss.
4.
place into soilless media, for 2-3 wks. keep media moist.
cambium bonds. tissue connects, nodules form. scions makes 1 cutting, from 2-4, in same tyme as just 1. 1 root system.
can also attach established root, from another plant, to the base (in center) of the bonding/rooting scion(s)....
hope this help

What happens to the floss that tied the initial cuts together? Grown over?

slice/snip off, or leave on...in small container. take out & examine. & replace after slice/snip, if/after bonded & roots. dont cut off roots! parts may seem bonded, but may not be. keep pressed together.
it gro around, may/will eventually burst thru floss.
roots may form on 1 scion, but not all. 2 of 4 maybe. that ok. pressed together, eventually bond.
some may not bond fully, or only partially. select scions w/ approximate same diameter base, and make slices @ same length & cambium exposure.
if different genotype/phenotype, try select similar stem diameters. some woodier than others. some large area cambium, some only small area
alternative to floss, maybe tape... all in imagination

Thank you for your answer.
I think this is a very interesting way, with proper diligence, to work with breeding projects (and mega moms) in limited plant count regions (re: genetic diversity). That may not be what you were speaking towards, but I like the idea nonetheless.

hi, why seeds? don't you think you will get more yield from clones. especially in your situation where you are going to be trying for consistency?
i've still got a few feminized isis beans i could try but it is a bitch to clone and stinks big time in flower. at week 6 of flower i could smell it out on the road in front of my house. a very sativa plant. i got 7.5 zips with the first one in a 5 gal hempy using perlite.
i've got some other, obviously heavily indica beans that i know almost nothing about except the person i got them from said it was "really good smoke".
i am planning on ordering some new stuff to play with. but i probably won't grow a seedling to maturity. i like to sex them and take numbered clones to experiment with.
it took me almost 2 years to isolate this swt#4 cut from a pack of 15.
this is fascinating stuff! years ago i air layered a few clones successfully. actually quite reliable. i've also done a little grafting.
hey, i'm having a little trouble visualizing your set up, it would help me tremendously to have a few pics to look at.
