Most of my plants take 4-7 days to show any signs of roots. My NYC Diesel take 4 weeks to root. That's right, I said weeks.

The plants don't die and eventually they all pop roots but WTF! So I just take shit load of cuttings and eventually the all pop roots given enough time.

This one scientist rooted an endangered Redwood tree cutting. It took over a year!

As long as your cuttings don't die you are good.

Don't waste your time with practice. Just check out DirtHawker's first grow with no practice. Dirt's grow kicks taint.
thanks for reply as always stink

im still in motion making my smaller system, im going to post pics as soon as i can.

im just taking a break because im broke

i got a good question for you,

how much nutes is needed to do what you do, clone to harvest

about 250$ in nutes? (whats the minimal amount used, for hydro/aero)

because im broke and dont need all the weed you guys get lol,

i like the looks of a smaller system like yours,

seriously KICK ASS

i still need to buy a PH meter,

how u know cuttings aint dead? i saw them standing up, leafs(flowers) even started bloomin out a bit, but no roots ...

put them into soil cube, with a humidty dome, and newer better growth is already happening day 1-2...

what ya think bro?

by the end of three weeks it should have a good root system to transfer to the Veg system which is 3 weeks veg to..then transfer to flowering
for the Repeat cycle timer i used somethin diffrent den anyone else here i think? i used a Encore repeat cycle timer i got from my local shop. I hook it to one of those computer type extension cord things that have extra plug holes then i plug the pumps to those and it works. instead of hella diffrent timers.. ya kno? but yea. then i only use one timer for veg and clone and one for flowering room..

hey stink got my cloner up and going, the strain ive been talking about called wappa, get this, 3rd day in the cloner and i have nice white roots on all clones about 3 inches long already coming out the sides and bottom of the 2"netpot! i also use hygorzyme because i had it on hand and figured since i paid for might as well use it, they recomend using it for every stage from seed/clone to flower, but it may just be the strain because the wappas i have in flower went from 12" tall to about 28" in the first 5 days of flowering. your nutes formula is like steriods for my girls, thanks a million ive never seen anything grow this fast and ill never change how i grow, :clap:

I run my room at 85 degrees with CO2. My biggest problem is humidity. My plants transpire a gallon of water every day because the room is sealed and so hot. Th moisture has no where to go.

That means my dehumidifier needs to run constantly during lights on. That little bitch puts out a lot of heat!

I don't see anyway around not having A/C this Summer. It's just too hot.

I'm not sure how much the water cooled lights would help. I can put my hand on top of my light now without burning.

The extra power for the water pumps and chiller is probably about the same as the power an A/C unit uses.

This is what I want... A/C and dehumidifier in one. The cool thing is it has a separate input so you don't suck all the CO2 out of the room.

I just have to find one.
:o

Damn this sux.. it was hella hard to find all these strains i wanted to.. i cut the 3 purp hardball out of the garden.
should my vegging be alright if i follow wat u jus said, I took them before i noticed the spider mites... but there werent any spidermites on the grape ape or gdp wen i took those cuttings? cuz i dont wana lose the vegging plants i have that im about to flower? Should i jus take clones off the vegging once im able to and then spray those jus to make sure they dnt have spiders.
I only took 3 cuttings from the purp hardball that had mites?
should the grape ape and gdp be alright because i put those in there a week before the purp hardball babies.. should i jus remove all the purp hardball frm the whole garden?
You think ill be able to get rid of them?
how many spider mite predators should i get? jw?

but the only flowerin plants i have right now are a gdp startin week7 and grape ape startin week 9. I jus dont want my new vegging and clones to be messed up for ur system i jus built. haha.
Get as many predator mites as you can afford.

Everything will be alright if you spray your veg and clones with Neem oil.

It's scary but no big deal if you follow my instructions. Predator mites in the flower room and Neem oil in the veg/clone room.

You can also spray your flowering plants for up to a week after you first put them in the flower room.

That way the mites that are already in the flower room won't want to take a bite out of the new girls.

Don't overdue the Neem oil. It only takes a little bit to do the job. Too much neem oil will cause the leaves to get burn spots.

If your buds are really small you can spray them with water. It makes it hard on the mites. Don't spray water if the buds are thick though because you will end up with mold.

Spraying water on the veg and clones will also help. A strong stream of water will knock a lot of the mites off and drown the rest. Remember, only spray during lights out.

What if you need to spray now? Turn the lights off.

You'll beat this bro, don't worry...

You can buy a small container of Cal-Mag, Liquid Karma and Sweet. You will need a gallon of Gro for veg and Bloom for flowering.

You don't need Sweet for veg and if your water is over 200 PPM, you don't need Cal-Mag.

A PH kit is only $7 and will work fine until you can afford a meter.

Cloning is a non issue with my system. Ask any StinkBuddy if they have a problem with clones and they will say "yes, I have too many!"

Great to hear! It's amazing how fast some strains pop roots. My Snowbud is the same way. It shows roots in 4 days every time.

Liquid Karma is shit! You're right, it's like steroids for your plants.

if my water ppm is 70 do i need cal mag? Do the spidermite predators lay eggs and produce more? I might jus get 100 if they do produce more. and wen they say 100 predators in a triple threat mix do they mean 100 predators of each type that come out to 300 total?

Yes you need Cal-Mag at 70 PPM. Your water is clean bro!

100 total...You can't buy too many predator mites. They can only eat so many spider mites and eggs a day.

The more predators you get the faster your problem will disappear. If you don't buy enough then the predators will never catch up and you will still continue to have mites (and a lot of fat predators).

guys, don't order AC units online, pick one up at your local shop!!!
this will save your a$$ when you fry your unit in mid summer heat
online will take forever to replace your unit = ruined crop

also this generic unit isn't sufficient to cool down a hot room!!!
go for a larger BTU unit as much as you can get,
i think the max is 14k BTU for a portable unit before things get complicated

here is a god place to get your unit if you still insist on getting one online
best prices, awesome service, the biggest online warehouse for cooling equipment, a walk in store to top it off
Genie AC

i got the Soleus bLX-140 14000BTU 115v $514.30
(i will only be using its cooling functionality, heat, humid etc.. are all external)

hmm misters?, need to find a friend to order a few things, i put my flowers back into cloner, gonna see how they do.

how many sprayers do you have and what size pump are you running?
What kind of sprayers?

Got the timer parts ordered everyone. Plans will follow when parts all arrive.

I m flowering in a odd location that gets a little colder than usual. low is 39f I just added a space heater to try and keep up the temps. I also changed the timer so the lights are on at night when its coldest. My question is how low of temps with the aero/ntf system can I have during the lights off stage. it gets about 70f of a high with them on. Now that I added the space heater Im sure it will go up a little better. thanks all
peace

Leave your dehumidifier on at all times.



It's pretty simple to hook the output hose up to a fan. You can also buy hose with little holes that you can wrap around your room. Remember, CO2 is heavier than air so you want to disperse it above the plants.



When I used timers I set my regulator to fill the room up to 2000 PPM over 1/2 hour. I set it to come on 3 times during the light cycle.

It would end up dropping to about 800 PPM before the next injection.

I set my timers so the the vent fan would come on and run for 15 minutes before the CO2 came on. Then the vent fan would shut off during the CO2 cycle.

Heat is your number one issue. As soon as you close off your room it will get hot as fuck!

With CO2 you can run your room at 85 degrees. The extra heat will speed up the plants metabolism.

A/C will be your only option at some point.
hey stinkbud,,,are rooms are pretty similar size wise,
what flow rate did you set your regulator to get to 2000ppm in just over a half hour?
