Well The Purp is for sure, the others are good but if I can get them all like this one I'd be happy. Actually, that one is in a mix of reused soil and coir, half and half, with some extra perlite and fed nothing but Plant Products soluble nutes, from WalMart, and molasses. The reason I'm in a last minute scramble is cause I have all the Sannies gear and the five Afghani I need to get transplanted, and with me finally getting the mycho, it time to shit or get off the pot. Gotta much better idea now though. Problem is finding stuff right now with stores just getting seasonal stuff in. So far its all lawn treatments and Miracle Gro,

Me thinks I may have scored at the Salvation Army Thrift Store today. I love that place. Anyway, $1.99 each. The fan I ordered at Christmas for my PC but I don't know what I was thinking getting a 120mm 42CFM fan for my PC, sure seems to work here though. The glasses are fairly thin though but I think I've seen them in DIY cooltubes before. I did wrap one around my HPS bulb and my hands got warm pretty quick. Do you guys think with fan cooling, not sure if I want to use my Vortex for it if I don't have to, that it should draw enough heat away to make them work, or am I dreaming?

Thanks Duchie

EDIT. I'm starting to think vertical now!

Our good friend Jig made his vertical tube using these types of glass piece.
The fan you have there will not be neough imo. For the fan you need to add the wattage together of the lights and divide by 2, this should give you the power of the fan you need to keep those tubes cool. Add 20% if you are attaching a carbon filter. So if you got 2 x 600 with a carbon filter you would need something pulling 720 m3 of air per hour.

As far as mixing soil, I would avoid adding soil to the mix if you are using all those extra's, coco coir would be enough as a substrate. Bonemeal is def something to be careful of. I used it in my mix 2 runs ago and when I transplanted my clones they all got a tad burnt.

Lots of nice pics last night peeps, good show everyone.

Have a nice day, DST

Aaaaargh. Pump went out on my cloner sometime in the last 24 hours. They are all wilty. I have a spare, but no time before I work to fix it so I'm floating the top of the cloner in my veg res for a few hours. I think they'll be alright, they were all at least slightly rooted and the yaren't completely down, so hoping for the best! One the other hand it's the second pump in two years. I admit I use it 365 days a year more or less, but damn. I was thinking of getting a larger unit but now I think I'll get another small one so I don't have all my eggs in one basket. I hate drama in the grow room!

thats why i'm scared of doing fully hydro grows, i regularly go over 24 hours without checking my shit, in hydro it can only take 24 seconds for some bad shit to go down.

do you have a full time job?

Here's a few shots of the the root ball. As you can see there is no root circling but at the same time you can't see many roots. So it looks like the air pots are doing there job by air pruning the roots and causing them to send more shoots through out the pot.











Hanging out to dry.





Manicured bud shots still to come.

lovely tree dropa, roots seem very scarce to me, how was that thing drinking!?!?!?

She drank a gallon every two days. With air pots it's not whats on the outside that matters, it what's on the inside of the root ball that counts. Check out the video around 50 seconds in.

Very nice Dropa! Are you going to monitor your yields? Would love to know what you got out of that. How long did you veg them (you have three if I remember right)? Anyway, great job man.

My job is 4 blocks away. I come home for lunch and dog time, so It'll be fine. I really just work to give the taxman something.

It IS the risk of hydro, but spare parts are useful. I just potted up 19 out of 25 of the cuttings and put them in my flood table in the shade of their mothers so they don't freak out. I think I'll be fine. So I'm not going to miss a cycle, I just might have to slow down my mother replacement schedule.

I like the aerocloner, because it's less work and mess than using any medium and it grows nice clones.

Dropa's airpots are tempting, plus they look kind of S&M
