Well, here we go again...
First, I should say that I was very impressed with that ridiculous "cloner" I made...
I mean, the plastic bottle and shoe laces...
In just the 3 days that I was gone, roots sprouted out... I am impressed...
It works... I kept the thing in the bathroom, next to the floorboard heater and left the light (very weak 1 bulb at the ceiling) on 24/0...
Since then, I also sprouted some bagseeds, so it was time to get to the store and experiment some more...
So, another air pump, few more airstones, some more tubing, tupperware containers, ...etc...etc...
I made two units with 4 grow sites each, using foam from a pillow to support the seeds/plants in the media-less environment... much like the AG does...

On the other front... There are not many changes in the AG, the roots just keep growing... strong and healthy white roots...
I was amazed to see that where there was one strand of root, now there are 4 and they are all about the same length...
It's AWESOME to be able to watch root development like this...
![Clap :clap: :clap:](/styles/smilies/gc.gif)
What a learning tool...!!!
So it looks like the plant sends a probe... if it finds what it is looking for, than it sends more root strands that way... I think ants do that too...
The 3 original clones are getting bushy and look very vibrant...
Of the 3 others...
One looks about DEAD, but it still has green and is asking for me to let it fight...

Two is holding steady... but not much action either way...
3 is doing good, but I think in the future I will let the roots develop more before going to flower, it deff. could have used it in this phase... I expect the yield on these plant to be zero to insignificant... but they may surprise me yet...
Here are some pictures...
See everyone after a while...
