Opaque or not opaque is the question. Its been drilled into my head that a Hydro resivor has to be opaque . but a hempy bucket has a resivor built in and it can be clear ?

...at the end of the day a plant only spends at most 4 months in any pot, from rooted clone to harvest, so while i recommed avoiding algae, it doesn't make a significant difference.

peace, bozo

...as an aside i switched from hempys to fabric pots about a year ago and i'm glad i did.

In the grand stream of things i think we overthink
Fabric pots as I can use my Blumats in them



things a

[Riviera123]

Over think things too much , focus on important stuff like how is your plants looking

Well I actually could clone shit if i ate the same stuff perhaps. I’m not sure about the whole clone process
I have been trying to clone these strains
Gorilla Bomb
Original Glue
Cheese
Berry Bomb
I keep trying to figure this thing out .
Using a dome with heat mat and i even put a cup in there with air stone tried cloned, dip n grow i have tried rock wool , coco in solo cups .
I dont want to spend more money on gadgets like clone machines
Is the problem the strains mainly indica
I am starting to wonder if my whole plan will come together .
I was thinking of doing 2 liter sog in small cabinet.
So i have chopped up mothers and lack of patience
Is Cloning really worth the trouble it’s been a pain in the ass for me so far. Maybe just grow single plant one at a time from seed.
My cabinet is one of those black and yellow 27 gallon totes from Home Depot . Six of them stacked , top one has 4 inch carbon filter and fan ,
Sort of like a SUper size space bucket . I have a migro 100 cob led light 250 w hps equivalent .

[Riviera123]

I call it the black Widow
Light is migro 100 led cob
27 gallon totes stacked
Passive Intakes on bottom
Piece of plywood with wheels on bottom
So the measurements are
75 inches tall
Its only 13 inches by 21 inches
At bottom of each tote but they taper out
The door sucks leaks light so i put a black skirt around the whole thing
Inside is lined with a white plastic cardboard material
Please give me your input
15 2 liter bottles will fit in the bottom i was thinking of doing a sog with coco hempys.
The good thing is the water stays in bottom like a built in drain tray .
Go ahead give me your two cents . I know i could of just bought a 2x2 tent but i like to tinker around.

Here is a better pic i hope The two 27 gallon totes where door is are flipped big side to big side. Totes are bigger at the top then bottom . Lots of gorilla tape and time and money my best advice is buy a tent.

[Riviera123]

I guess the good part is its stable and u can mount stuff to a cabinet wher as a tent u have to figure out other options . Also leak proof built in drip pan. I am thinking of changing door so it goes all the way to bottom tote. As the way it is now you ar always tending plant down in a hole .Maybe one solid wood door .

...yeah, cloning is both an essential skill and an easy one to aquire.

...i personally use a passive, wick style of cloning that is very simple and cheap to run while at the same time it is a very reliable method usually giving a better than 90% success rate, it's just not as fast as some other methods taking about 2 weeks.

...here are a few cuts of Dream Beaver that were shipped to me in winter that arrived mostly frozen, these few were what was left after emergency surgery to amputate all the dead matter.



...and here they are 2 weeks later, note that only 2 survived and rooted which was actually damned good considering how close to dead they were.



...and then about a month after that, note the jar of cuts down in front in the middle.



...anyway, do a member search for 'FreezerBoy', he put together an excellent thread compiling links to some of the best threads detailing several different cloning techs that is a good place to start for help.

...let me know if you have trouble finding it and i'll link you to it and my own preferred method, which btw is known as the Walmart ice-tube-tray method although finding those trays is very difficult these days, now i use popsicle molds as cloners, easy to find, cheap as hell and they work like a charm!

...here's a shot of an ice-tube-tray (it's actually only a third of one of those trays, the full trays have 27 cells so i cut mine down into 3 equal pieces) with some cuts in it.



...and here is a shot of one of my popsicle mold cloners, each of which holds 8 cuts, just before recieving cuts.



good luck, bozo

...and don't give up man, you only fail if you give up, keep getting on the bike until you learn to ride, it just ain't that hard.

Wow thanks for the info. So is that vermiculite in your popsicle thing dingy , is it put under a dome and it looks like a heat mat. But yes i got some reading tonight ty for words of kindness ,wisdom and encouragement
