water: i use ro water which has no ppms it is the only real way to grow the way i do...i could pull it off with tap but my plants would not be as happy because i grow by ph and tap is a little harder because of the metals in it make it hard to change the ph when the plants consume nutrients...if you do use tap let it sit for 24 hrs before using it...my plants in flower drink about a half gallon to a gallon a day...
clone: a clone can go in the waterfarm as soon as it has roots...special needs no the waterfarm will do it all
flushing:i flush for 48 hrs to 72 hrs with nothing but tap water...you always chop when the light cycle is about to start(they are in the dark)the best way to tell if your plant has been flushed enough is pull a large fan leaf from the main stalk and put the stem end in your mouth and taste it...if it is bitter than it needs more flushing if it just taste like water than it is flushed enough
readings: the top bucket will sit ontop of the bottom bucket at a angle with enough room to check...i usually use a shot glass to take a sample...never take your sample from the fill line tube on the side as it wont have the same readings as the bucket....i just pour water or nutrients over the top when adding back to the system...any more questions i would be glad to answer...peace

BT, I am certain that you will do those Sour diesel proud. I appreciate all the help you are giving me, and I sure do love having a grower who I can try and duplicate. Sooo a few more questions if you pleeeeese!
Cloning- I have cloned numerous times in soil with over an 99% success rate, I take cutting, cut at angle, scrape lower, wet with water, dip in clone powder and place in cup with promix, and place under t5 or flouros. I have tried with rockwool years ago and did not have any success, so I could use all the help you can send my way.
Supplies- rockwool starter cubes, tray and dome, cloning powder, wilt spray.

ok well with rockwool which i hate(rapid rooters organic sponge rule) just make sure to ph balance it to 5.5(soak for a few hrs than check the ph of the water they are soaking in) before you put the cuts in it and dont keep it soaked just let it dry out until the clone starts to droop than a few drops in the medium...so basically you want the medium to go from wet to damp and keep it damp until you see roots..to wet stem rot...to dry wilt...i use a the floor in my veg room at 65 percent humidity and 75 degrees and get roots usually within 7 days..maximum 14 days
