I hope so too. I had such good luck with cloning other strains. I may have just got complacent. I will tighten it up and see what happens. I am tempted to just throw them into flower and either revegg any fems or pray that I can get a cutting to root

Good luck with Nirvana beans. I'll be watching.
Sorry to hear about the loss of so may cindy clones.
You've gotto save that pheno.
 
Tilt-your setup rocks man, your design inspired me to go vertical with the PLLs as well. I couldn't afford to have that high of a plant number, so I made some changes. The cool thing with my design is that cool tubes aren't really necessary. It is basically just a few lights mounted on a hinge that split the cab into two sections, and can open like a door to allow me access to the back of the cab. There are also two top lights that shine over each section.



Anyways, Im just a noob and still have alot to learn when it comes to the actual growing aspect. Thanks for the inspiration man,

Thanks for the kind words. Being a noob is not a bad thing. You allow yourself mistakes to learn from. It is kinda embarassing to lose a tray of cuttings at my stage.

Have you seen the walmart cloner thread? Many of us swear by that method. Only time I ever have problems is in the dead of winter when my ambient humidity is below 20%. Otherwise it is a real high percentage method for me. I don't use the ice tray thing, but it is just tubes of vermiculite sitting in a 80-90deg. res. All you have to do is wait.

My local humidty is extremely low. I have to run a humidifier at night or wake up with nose bleeds. This makes cloning challenging to say the least. I use a dome until I am sure there are roots. I just was sloppy with my cuts and keeping a clean enviroment for them. Thanks for the advice though. My vermiculite trays work. I just need to dump the media and clean between runs.

i have very low humidity and dont use a dome.i made a bubble cloner and usually works awesome.last few batches took almost three weeks but my airstones were clogging and i used older growth(thought my moms were getting too big and used some big cuts)

The line up is.
critical plus, I have been very happy with yeilds are good, resin is grrreat, smell is fruity, bud density is there, clones easily, vigorous growth, potency is good, All that and it was free. It does tend to stretch on me.
Bog's BMR pheno b2
yeild is good very vigourous flavor and smell is good nothing wrong with it but it isnt fantastic.
Bogs BMR pheno b1
lower yeild but flavor smell and potency is all there. It has a very deep lavender smell that triggered some pleasant childhood memories of home. Thanks BOG

Tilt,
Long time no see. How's the cabinet been doing with the new genes? Your thread is long over due a bump.

Cab is still churning out bud weekly like a machine. I have been very busy with work so I am glad it doesn't need alot of attention. I basicly open the flower chamber once a week to water, harvest and add new plants. The veg chamber gets attention every few days to keep an eye on cuttings. I have a 3 day weekend coming up I will try to snap some pics and do an update. I really need to do some spring cleaning in there too.

prior to the hardware cloth were you using poly tubes or nothing tilt? I have a theroy on the hw cloth being better than poly tubes and painted white, there should be minimal loss of light intensity since the light is refracted instead iof blocked ands the tubes themselves are a bit more efficient when properly cooled. I for one would be interested to hear your thoughts on the findings.

It is too soon to tell on the hardware cloth. I am hoping for more intense light. Visually it does look brighter. It doesn't seem to do any damage. I plan to do the same to the rest of the lights. It is cheap enough to convert back if the experiment fails. The draw backs on the tubes are they get sticky then dirty then you clean them then they are scratched. My project is slowly evolving. I can afford a few learning experiences along the way. I dont know about painting the cloth white maybe I will try your idea down the road.
