First Hydro Grow!!

[kpw555]

I actually don't manage it in any way shape or form. My room is low humidity about 30-35%, and the clone box is about the same.

I like the low humidity because it discourages pestilence and disease.
All that really nasty stuff loves high humidity.

Does the search function work for you Abnjm?

Also how do you post the pics right into a reply like your posts? The best I can do is put a thumbnail in there, then there in there twice.

Yeah. My house is around 35 - 40% RH and I don't mess with it either. I turned my fans off last night after spraying the pyrethrin and the tent must have been at 100% RH when I opened it up this morning.... I'll definitely keep he fans running to keep the pestilence at bay.

The search function just started working again a couple of days ago.

I use the little button with the mountain on it to insert my pics. I was going to ask you how you insert thumbnails... LOL!

Keep growin that dank, bro......

Here here, all in favor of the term Weed Baron Mega Clones (TM), and the above listed requirements be officially adopted say aye.

Aye

I want to be a ginny pigg, give me all u got................

I am a quality manager, so I should probably be in on all Quality related matters as well .

And ill be right under u doing all the dirty work.

More pics.......

 

[Scalded Dog]

I wonder if you can post video as well????

 

[Scalded Dog]

Damn guess not

 

[Abnjm]

Damn guess not

The Dog is correct. More pictures are required for the ISO 9001 manual.

Damn, a guy gets clones named after him, and he forgets the little people......

 

[kpw555]

There is really nothing to take pics of right now.

The clone box is full, the mommas are hacked down to nothing and as soon as I can I am going to start the flower table.


The mat seems to be too hot and I need a liner for it. I am thinking one of those silicon baking sheets.

I don't know how many times I've looked at the little buds towards the bottom of my bagseed plant and thought "That bud won't produce much, maybe I should just smoke it now". Fortunately, I know a Weed Baron and he is teaching me patience......

 

[kpw555]

If I only had some little buds to look at and pine that would be helpful.


I got mommy pod II up and running today.

I even put 2 Weed Baron Mega Clones (TM) into perlite flowering pots and am getting ready to start flowering.

Mixed up a tank of sauce and letting it warm up a little.

I will see some HPS this weekend I am sure.

It won't be long before I have some little buds to gaze at for hours.

The clone on the left, we'll call her Bent Betty because she is the one I bent over, and the mainstem is a little bent.

The one on the right we'll call pee wee, Scalded Dog brought her to me but he didn't cut it or it would have been to Weed Baron spec.

7-9 inches tall with 5mm stem thickness at the cut.

There is the first specification for the quality manual Dog.

it wont be long my friend

A quick pic or two today.

Here is a family portrait from two angles of one of my BubbleGum(TM) mommies, along with all her BubbleGum(TM) daughters. The little bushy one in the rear left is the mommy. The other baby all potted up for the flood table is the main stem clone. Of the rest the smallest in the RW is destined to be a mommy and the rest to flower.



I saw a couple of threads about micro photography and here is my first attempt. Just a pic of my pants but as soon as flowering starts I should be able to take some awesome pics of the process.


I can hardly wait to start flowering, I might be able to start tonight if I get busy. Here is everything that will be on the table for the first flood. I am so freaking excited

 

[Abnjm]

Dude. They are looking ready for some flooding and flowering! Did you get it set up last night? What are you using in the res?

 

[kpw555]

I went to 12/12 last night. WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!

I have a full tank of juice set up but I am not using it yet, as I am only flowering 3 plants right now.

In just a few days, maybe monday I will have 4 more and I will start flooding.

Right now I am just using a mommy pod to water them. I put two in and flood then drain for a couple minutes then back to the table.

Thats the beauty of not using net pots. You can move plants around anywhere you want at any time you want.

It makes it even easier that the pots fit my flood tray, and the mommy pods that I built.


I had thought that I would need to flood every 6hrs when lights on, but after seeing what is really up by flooding pots in the mommy pod that maybe two times during lights on might be enough with the perlite I am using as media.

Just after lights on and 9 hrs later is going to be my flood schedule till the plants tell me different.

 

[Styl!st07]

whats up kpw,

Nice to see u start flowering those lil BITCHES, i have a few?????????

When u are cloneing what are the steps that u take to condition ur RW?

How long do u soak it, what kind of water do u use, and whats in the water?

RW is the devil

I hate RW and have no luck with seeds and clones at this point but with ur help i just might. i know i can make a new thread but i wood like to get sum reall quick info from sum who is getting roots as a newb. I guess we are on the same level ,u know, and just wanted to see what ur tricks of the trade. Im going to take sum really big clones here shortly and dont want theese to die on me.

Maybe im tinking of it too much and second guessing myself, all the time.

Congrats on the cloning, now u are on ur way to the top, those clones look really big and thick, by the way, and u should have a nice harvest.

Keep up the good work my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Styl!st, thanks for stopping by.

I am glad to have you here and ask any questions or give me any input you might have.

How long do u soak it, what kind of water do u use, and whats in the water?

- Styl!st

I start with 1 gal of tap water in a milk jug.

Add 7ml 35% h2o2

It starts out at a pH of about 8 and I drop it to pH 5.5

I set the cubes in a tray and pour this water through them till I get a little runoff, then I snap the excess water out of the cubes by holding them in my hand and snapping my wrist aiming what slings out for a bucket.

I do this operation twice with each cube I plan to use.

The second time I sling the water out of the cube it is ready to use. The cube will be damp not wet. After the clone is installed in the RW test the weight of the cube. This weight is what you want when you water them.

Check for watering by picking up each cube and feeling the weight, if it is light, dip the corner of the cube into clone water till it comes back up to the predetermined weight. I'm close to my op and check the cubes a couple times a day.

I water with the same water that I use to top off my reservoirs; tap water adjusted to pH 5.8, 1.7ml/L 35% h2o2.

I don't soak the cubes for more than a few minutes usually but I have kept cubes soaking and ready for use, so I could clone on a dime.

Hey Styl!st, thanks for stopping by.

Any time bro, ur the weed baron right now so ill be here to take lessons.

I am glad to have you here and ask any questions or give me any input you might have.

Thanx for clearing that up, u make it so simple and i need to keep it simple to and get rid of all the bells and whistles,

I be around keeping up with ur thread, good luck on the growing

OK. I'm done pouting about my bud disaster....

You add 7ml of 35% H2O2 to each gallon? I put 1.7ml per gallon in my res, and the bottle recommends a max of 2ml per gallon. I can see it causes no problems with your clones, I just wanted to be sure it wasn't a typo....

No typo

He is right ,by the way, and u can mix it to 1.7ml per liter of water.
So if u round up to 7ml to a gallon pf water, thats correct.

1.7 x 3.78 = 6.42 round up 7ml/gal


Not rying to take over just rying to help

Yeah Ab, I rechecked a couple of sources and the ratio I use is 1.7ml/L of 35%


All 5 of the first batch of weed baron mega clones has struck and have been repotted into perlite and all but 1 on to the flowering chamber.
The one left wil be a mommy.


But if I am going to screw up this is where it will happen. I am into for me, uncharted territory.

Up until now I have had previous experience with the different aspects of my grow, but hydro is completely new to me. Maybe that is why I am afraid to flood the table. If the mix is wrong or something else isn't right, there goes 2 months of work, and those main stem clones I waited so patiently for.

I am at 1400ppm GH Flower mix nutes, my pH is 5.8 and I dosed with 1.7ml/L 35% h2o2

I'll just cross my fingers hold my breath for the next few days and flood that table today at 2000hrs GMT.
