Well, How do I put this....

This is NOT a S.O.L. product, but it won some awards and should still be awesome!!! :comfort: (Barneys Farm Seeds... These Clones from a specially selected Mother)

Okay, Okay... Here they are in all their glory..

:dance013: :jump:

Here are just a few details for now.

2 Clones were brought home today 2-27-2011

They were in Rapid Rooters with plenty of roots.

They were then put in light warrior soil that had been watered first with Hygrozyme and Advanced Nutrients B-52.

The containers are slightly less than 1 gallon square white plastic pots with Lots of drainage holes.

Right now they are under 80w fluorescent grow tubes in a closet.

We have about 10 days left of flush before we start our next round in the big tent. (Check my signature to see the progress... or if you want to see some pretty tasty nugs under T5 lights ONLY)

Welp See ya Later!
:thank you:

Subscribe to this and don't forget to tell your friends!!! See you in a a few days for some more boring ass pictures that will have maybe three or four more leaves.

Finally ready to start something new, just finished Jarring up my last Blueberry run.

I'm training and topping these like crazy so I can keep them smaller until the 5 clippings I just cut root and are transplanted.

Made my own cloning machine, this works 99% of the time and requires nothing expensive.

Parts:

1 Rubbermaid tub
3 Airstones (you don't really need these)
3 aquarium pumps (I had these from GH buckets)
1 2" hole saw for a drill
15 neoprene collars (as many as you want... I went with 15 2" collars cause I can't have more than 12 plants anyways)
All weather Foam tape

The Foam tape was put around the inside lip and really seals all the water in.

the water is about 2 inches below the lid and the stems of the clones is touching the water and getting splashed by the bubbles.

I put a few drops of superthrive, B-52 and hygrozyme in the water thats it.

Hope you like it, cheap and effective.

Oh, I almost forgot!!!

The 5 clones are from back to front:

3 more sweettooth
1 blueberry
1 Trinity (VERY RARE CLONE ONLY STRAIN)

Also, above you see two sweettooth plants and one seedling in a red cup, this is a bagseed from either GDP or AK47... hope it's female!

Glad to see you SOTF420

I'm anxiously awaiting the some #4...

But thanks to your emotional description of this strain, I had to find it.

Peace

Nifty looking cloner youve got there, inspired me to invest in some better airstones. Or just more of them. Lovin' all those bubbles bro
Mine isn't nearly as bubbly :(

Cleaned up the Room and installed the A/C today. Finally, controlled temperatures will be nice through this summer.

I paid $13.99 for this at walmart

This is the intake fan, hepa filter.

Temperature underneath the light by the plants is 77.9

The temperature up in the air is 72 and the Relative humidity is finally rising at 36% was under 10%.....

Installed some 3m Hooks to hold the tent doors open and tight.

The 3M hooks - great idea to hold the tent door open!

Pulling up a seat on this one. I was impressed by the T5 BB run.

Do it!

Wow, your set up is SO clean and legit. I'm planning on doing something similar for the summer... My flowering cab is going to get too toasty how it's set up now. How much does that A/C boost your electricity bill though? :/
oh AND, I wasn't lying when I said you inspired me to get more air up in my cloning device! Re-did my cloner this morning for MAXIMUM bubbles.
Ha, check my thread if you care at all.

@ Potent - I'm not to sure about the A/C bill, but, it will be cheaper than having High Heat and ruining my crop. Thanks for posting, I'll be sure to check out your grow.
Also, I run T5's so I can spare a little room on the Bill.


@socbutter - Colorado will be stoked to have you! The weather here is awesome!!! I live on the Western Slope, I'm guessing you'll be closer to Denver on the Eastside?

@MileHighGuy

Thank you for your warm welcome!

Fort Collins/Loveland/Windsor is the area we are looking to live. Regardless whether we sell our home or not we are moving in June. Can't way to see if Florida actually has a ballot initiative for Medical Marijuana.

I did not think to use T5s to flower but after witnessing your grow its definitely the way to go. Running a separate a/c cost $200 on top of my regular a/c bill. So T5s a go.

I see you bought a humidifier to add some moisture to your room:jump:. LOL. Its so humid here!

:thank you:

hahaha... I know, I used to live in Cali and the humidity was great. Here, in the winter, it is a joke how dry it gets.

My Thermometer reads RH down to 15% or so... without the humidifier it doesn't even have a reading.

Colorado is awesome, you are really going to enjoy it, I miss the ocean sometimes but honestly, it was getting so crowded and the water so dirty that I couldn't even surf as much anymore. There is WAY more to do out here and the cost of living is much better.

Not to mention the weed scene is really nice.

Have you looked into getting legal out here?

For those of you that don't want to invest in the Neoprene Collars and the Drill bit, you can just use styrofoam.

Step 1: Take a cheap styrofoam ice chest from walmart, cut a square of it off and poke holes in it with a screwdriver or skewer.

Step 2: Put your clones in the holes and float them on top of the water, if you have hygrozyme or h202 don't worry about light hitting the water.

I've had 100% success floating the styrofoam lid on the water with just an air hose underneath and no airstone.
:dance013:


Most important thing is the temperature of the water and room.

Now, where was I...


Oh yeah, Checked the temps today and everything is PERFECT, can't wait to get these clones out and into some soil.




Here are the preliminary plans... they could change any second... in fact.. i'm changing them as I type lol.
:laughing:


24 bulbs and 1296 watts worth of T5 Power. alternating every other bulb, red, blue, red, blue... full daylight spectrum.

I want to Veg with 2, 8 bulb T5's above the plants and 2, 4 bulb t5's hanging sideways on each side of the plants until flower.

Kinda like this... (The lines above the word "plants" are supposed to be the lights)
__ __
/ plants \

Think that would work okay? I would slowly start flattening them as the plants grew and needed all 4 lights for the top of the canopy.


2 Hydro
4 Soil

2 Sweet Tooth in Modified General Hydroponics Buckets. Airstone installed to complete the DWC with top feeding.

Haven't decided yet, but might consider a comparison grow.

1 Hydro with Lucas formula
1 Hydro with Advanced Nutrients

What do you guys think? That could be fun.

The other 4 soil plants will be in 4 gallon Square soil containers with FFOF and advanced nutrients the whole way through.

They will all start in 1 gallon square containers with light warrior.

My whole goal is to start a 6 in flower 6 in veg setup with more consistent yields closer together.

Sounds good, watch out for young clones in FFOF. Ive noticed my more sativa dominant strains burn a tad with AN and FFOF. So I just give them water until they're a little bigger then hit em with the Sensi Grow. Have I given you my talk on that? Ha, sorry if I have. I know you know what you're doing more so than me! Just lookin out
