Sounds like things are moving in your world Boomer. Hope all is well. Knee injuries can be serious. Looking forward to this. I am moving in 2 short months, currently with a full flowering room just flipped. I am stressing. Keep it up

Hey man glad to see you got shit moving along man. I know you have been biting at the bit to get started.
Just alittle tip on the cuttings. They will stay in cups of water for a long time. I actaually still have some extra cuttings right now sitting in a small vase with plain water for 5 days and they still look great. When I was a kid my mom used to root here ladies in cups of water in the window sil with ground up aspirin changing the water ever couple days. Just a little tip for next time if you can't put them straight into cubes or cloners.

Well I am glad I could learn you somthing then
Here is an article on aspirin and plants. Sorry in advance Boomer for the quick high jack.
How Aspirin Water Helps Plants
Contributor By Chyrene Pendleton, eHow Contributing Writer
Simple, ordinary aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is turning out to be a true miracle pill. It has a long list of remedies for your health, and aspirin has also shown to be beneficial for your garden as well as your house plants. This makes sense, because a chemical related to aspirin, salicylic acid, naturally occurs in plants, such as in the bark of the willow tree.
- Aspirin Water
<LI id=jsArticleStep1 itxtvisited="1">Plants increase their own production of salicylic acid to heal themselves when threatened by disease, even emitting a salicylic gas to warn other plants that dangerous insects are around. Add aspirin to water and feed it to your plants to help speed up your plant's resistance to disease and form a stronger immune system. Grow larger than usual plants without pest problems.
Use only cheap, uncoated, regular strength aspirin for your plants. Grind the aspirin well using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon. The standard recipe is one aspirin for every 1 gallon of water. Mix the ground aspirin well in your water. Add a few drops of liquid soap to the water also--this helps the solution stick to your plants. Indoor Plants
- Crush one aspirin and put it in your vase water. Add your cut flowers next. Your flowers see the cut as a wound and create a substance to hasten wilting and aging. The aspirin counteracts the substance, helping them stay fresh and last longer.
Spray your potted house plants with aspirin water and see how their growth improves. Aspirin water helps to eliminate common house plant pest problems such as aphids.

Why would you try it? Do you not have another cloning method?..I was just using it as an example of keeping your cuttings around if you can't transfer to your cloning method. Now my mom has passed away, but in here days I must say she could grow anything and she lovced aspirin in her plants, but back in the day she grew lots of ganja..before you could just go buy cloning gel. I don't use aspirin..but have put mine in a vase with water for over a week with no issues, just pop them in the cloner and off they go. I put in water 7 days ago, here ya go. I haven't decided if I am gonna root these or not, so in the mean time they sit in water that I change every other day.
You know you can make you own rooting harmone out of willow branches, which is what aspirin is derived from..The willow treee has natural rooting hormones in it. If you ever needed to you could soak willow branches in simmering water for a couple hours and make your own hormone...I would still just go by the shit at the store.. Sorry Boomer.. I am done with this subject I promise..

Long time in the making but figured id tease u guys a little with an update showing the grow room underconstruction. this shit has been about 3 solid days of working alone and sum with my pops when he was free. but got alot done so far. the rest is all equipment shit and tedious but small shit. heavy wood lifting over ur head gets old in a hurry goin up and down staris all day with busted knees is a joke too. glad i got enouhg meds to keep me goin haha.
the first day i worked from 5am until 1230 am. haha i was cracked out and stoked i couldnt stop. i was shooting for 24hrs straight but the gf got mad at all the noise haha.
so as most u know i love to ramble so here we go;
Room A; Flower room
12/12 photocycle
as of right now the supplies and work done are;
laid plywood over the carpet for support and to allow the hydro table on wheels to roll as needed.
laid down pondliner for water protection
put up mylar (95% reflective, better then flat white as sumone metnioned) i only went half up since thats all thats needed.
hung 4 of the 6 600w hps lamps. im picking up the other 2 today.
Support; we decided to go with a beam setup since the ceilings are vaulted and its a bitch for maintence and i need to hang a couple max fans for exhaust and the lamps themselves are around 30lbs. so we used 2"x8" boards for crossbeams. used joist hangers to hang them. the support boards are lag bolted to studs in the wall. the bolts were 4" long. the beams will b used to mount the ballast, duct work, lamps, fans, and curtain rod.
i will add a curtain of mylar to the middle of the room for added reflective material since im using lots of light i dont want to waste any lumens. plus i got left over mylar so why not?
the windows were boarded up with plywood and painted flat black facing out. we left the blinds partially openned tilted up so u cant see in but doesnt look boarded up. we left both the windows in the room open for the soon to be closed intake/exhaust system we will be running which is pretty advanced. ill cut a 12" duct intake hole mounted to two 1075cfm fans to air cool my light hoods and exhaust bak out the other window (benefit of having two seperate windows)
umm i dont wanna go too into detail and lose u guys with the flower room so ill save it for a surprise...
now to move on;
Room B) Vegative stage, Mothers, clones, drying area
this is my secondary room just on foot smaller in size compared to the flowering room.
this room has pondliner to protect the flooring, mylar on the side where lights are mounted, and window boarded up the same as the flower room and will have an exhaust fan as well to air cool my lamps.
the work table works great for cloning and trimming and other needed work.
the veg room has 5 mother plants right now under a 400w MH hortilux bulb with lumetek switchable ballast and XL hood.
the other lamp is a 1000w MH hortilux bulb lumetek switchable ballast that will be used over a 4'x4' hydro flood table to veg the clones to the proper heighth before transplanting them into the room next door for flower.
the closet will be dedicated to drying the bud
i mounted 2 T5 flouros under the work table and the heatpad is underneath for root developement. i took 72 clones and theyre doin well still. been a couple days so far just took the humid dome off.
but that should be it for now time to get bak to work. were gettin more equip today and working on the wiring and subpanels. using a max of 70amps total for this system and goin all out. hope u guys enjoy. stay tuned

Fuckin lookin good Bro!! I am so stoked to see how this set-up comes together man. I know how much of a perfectionist you are so I am sure it will be TITS!! How many 600's are you running..was it 4? I am thinking of switching to 4 600's when I move my room this summer. I am gonna be stealing many of your set-up ideas!! It will be fun when we both have similar set-ups to run some grow comps..looking damn good Boom
