Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

[StinkBud]

Sheeeesh!!! I am dying to go but I can't find lodging for under $300/night. I've tried Vail, Taos, Tahoe, Mammoth, even Vermont (yech, I hate eastern "snow"). If you know of a good (i.e. reasonably priced) place, please let me know!!

I'm 35 miles away from my resort. Head to the NW. Oregon and Washington are killer!

Mt. Bachelor, Mt, Hood, Mt Baker, there are so many good places I couldn't name them all.

You can find a nice Hotel in Bend for $40 a night. Mt Bachelor has really good skiing and snowboarding.

Mt Hood is open now and you can find lodging for under $100 close by but if you don't mind driving 45 minutes you can find lodging for under $50

There are a bunch of resorts in WA state too. Again, nice lodging is cheap. Mt Baker is a legendary snowboarding spot. Deep powder all Winter is common.

I just want to drop by and say that using olivias cloning solution does not work in the aero cloner setup, I had to get it when I went for supplies cause the shop was out of the clonex in any size, so I got a gal of the olivias. either my water is getting too cold( which i didnt think was a problem, 65ish) or the combo of both cold water and olivias does not work, i just had to throw out 17 clones that where bout a month old, and no roots!! I now have a batch that is 3wks old with no roots, a batch that is 2wks and a batch that is 1wk. I'm hoping to get my clonex this week so to anyone that runs into the problem of no clonex solution at the store when you go, dont get olivias cloning solution!!! im a noob yea!!

I hear ya man; I used Olivia's last year on two grows and never got one clone. I'm using RooTech for this one. Hopefully I'll get some good clones.

Stink, I've looked into moving to WA or OR; been there but not for long enough. Looked into moving to a little town near Mt. Hood (12 months skiing / boarding!!) but I can't until I sell my house. I'll check out the lodging there and try to book a trip. I have a friend that lives in south Oregon; saw a pic of him in his front yard - it was nothing but plants about 10' high, LOL.

i was wondering if there is a specific reason why you use a 250 mh for veg and not a larger mh light? temp? size? or does this one just work best

 

[bobbyboy34]

is clonex a dipping solution or is it something you put in your res?

 

[offgridgrower]

bobby its a solution you put in your rez!

Im on day 3 of night humidity of 78%.....holy cow im worried.

The fans is blowin on high, the exhaust is running 24/7,,, it doesnt feel humid in there, but thats what the theremo says.

when it rains here this is what i get.

Clonex is a dipping solution; you don't put it in your rez.

My friend gave it to me. I would actually recommend HO fluorescents for both veg and clone.

I'll use my 1000W after I harvest my 6 hole system.

Your going to have to bust out and buy a dehumidifer bro. Soon as those buds start getting dense you'll have to watch out for mold. You are fine until about the 6th week. It's the last three weeks that you have to watch.

On another note some strains are totally mold resistant.

I've had a whole shit load of plants root with nothing but water. A little on the warm side is good. I keep my cloner in a closet with the door shut almost all the way. I like to keep the clone and veg closet about 78.

Here is what I have found out about rooting time.

1) Some strains pop roots in 4 days, some take 4 weeks.
2) Clones taken from the bottom of the plant will root faster than cuttings taken from the top.
3) Looking at them every five minutes won't make them root any faster.
4) Anything you dip your stem in will wash off the first 30 seconds.
5) Clonex helps keep the plants alive until they root but won't make the plants pop roots faster. At least as far as I can tell.

My NYC Diesel takes at least 2 weeks at best and usually 3 or 4 weeks. My Snowbud always roots within a week and usually within 4 days. WTF! Go figure.

If it ain't dead just leave them in the cloner. Eventually they will either root or die!

how much did it cost you to make the cloning and flowering systems. they came out really good. i like the results

Funny you should ask... I've been tracking my build expenses. Total cost for my cloner is $73.95, including a 1 quart bottle of Clonex. That does not include any incidental expenses (drill bits, PVC cement, timer) or shipping costs, but does include everything else needed to put one together. The veg unit is sitting at $69.92, not including any nutes.

I have been using olivia's because that is what my shop carries I barely put a third of what they say in the res sometimes I forget and still get roots. Be on the look out for another problem. I had more problems with clones in the aero system when I dipped them in clonex, just took another week, relax they will come

Clonex is a dipping solution; you don't put it in your rez.

it's both a dipping sol. and a nute like solution for the res. they come in diff bottles

 

[G33kDro]

aye, dipping is usually the smaller of the two bottles.

I ran across this timer. NFT-1. Seems perfect for us stoners, no knobs for us to goof up, lol. Not exactly 1 on/5 off, but close. Best price I'm seeing is $65ish. Any thoughts StinkBud? I know you weren't 100% thrilled with the Art-Dne.

http://www.77hydrostore.com/env130.html

I googled for "recycle timer" and on the first page I found this one for $49.95 and the CAP ART DNe for $69.95. Also found the red sprayers for 50 cents each after googling for them. Might not hurt to check, can save yourself about $40 on just those two items. It pays to do a google search on the internet. After all, you all have computers if you are reading this. At least right now you do. Google it!
