Earl, good to see your following this, I guess I wasn't clear.
What I am trying to do is keep this grow like a plug and play.
From clone to flower in 2" net pots. I have three areas to deal with.
I can clone them and start rooting.
Then I need to move them to a veg tub. I see no issues there but
taking them out of the veg tub after they have grown for three or
four weeks and the roots have spread out like in the pics.
Then do you think I could squeeze the root ball through the 2' hole
and back through another one into the flower tub.
Thats what I meant. Do you know if they are flexible enough.
They look stiff to me.

Thanks man.
But I have to say without the help from you guys they would all be burnt twisted sisters.
I found I calibrate my meters more often but what I love is the mixing pump in the res.
It makes it much easier. I just add my up or down right after it waters and it mixes for 30 min before watering.

Cool, I like building hydro. It's almost as much fun as growing it...
Well almost.
Are you going to bust out the stinkbud 9000?
So Yea, I have heard of auto flowering plants before, Lowryder is
one I think. I haven't grown it. So whats the deal, no need for 12/12?

Yeah, they go into flower as soon as the tap root comes out of the seed! They go into "veg" for like 14 days and then suddenly you see little white hairs popping out and it just explodes with buds from that point on. 60 days from seed to chop!! The beautiful thing about it is that they are so stealthy, almost none of them get over 2' tall and most are from 12-16". The way I look at it is I can get 6 crops a year, end to end - even if I were not staggering so I had a harvest every two weeks or whatever. I'm going to let maybe 3 of the females get pollinated to get more seed cause the beans are very pricey. The quality of the smoke is awesome too, up to 20% and very tasty from the smoke reports.
I may retire the SB9000 and custom build a new rig to accommodate my new grow room (when I get one).

Think using a bag is a very good ideal. rep to earl.
Dude my fingers are so tiered, from clipping all day. an still only a 1/4 done. I though, how many to do a day, so i chop 5, and went to town. 3 hours later my hand were sticking together... this grow has so of the dankyest stuff in it.That crystal is bad ass. Had some in a little bag in my pocket and my buddy standing there could smell it from 3' away.lol.1 hit your good 2 hits well its veg time lol. I though it would be better to wait one more week and straight water one more week. they got the final 2 weeks of st8 water. blue cheese looks like it waits you. just full of crystals. so is that thai super skunk. soon as it cures it will go out.
your grow is coming along well, plants look tight. growing fast. well done keep going. looks like youll be cloning soon.
auto flower would do nice in there. i have 40 auto grow plan. on nexts grow, after the revamp. already got the beans.

Sorry to hear of SB9000 retirement but I am sure your new setup will rock.
That auto flower sounds good. Sounds like it will work out for you real well. I guess you are going to need quite a few of them to make it worth while. Good idea copping a couple mothers in the first run. In my case I'm not to sure about the overall size.
You know my last setup LED/400W I was harvesting every other month.
This will alternate flower rooms so now it will be every month. Granted one room at a time. With auto flower I have to think about harvesting every two weeks. With a week or two to dry and jar I would be real busy.

Tahoe,
Glad to see you made it.
A seat has been reserved for you.
Thanks for the compliment, I put a lot of thought into this one.
I have admired your grow, dense buds, long colas and good yield from the lower buds.
Awesome pictures, not to mention your way with words.
Please feel free to comment (even if you are a dirt farmer)

Well nobody said it was going to be easy now did they?
Yea better to over flush then not enough.
I figure to take clones tomorrow.
Auto flower? cool, I hear you can go from start to seed in 60 days.
Alternate the rooms and you could harvest once a month.
Just what you needed huh, more work. LOL
8-2-09
Temps 87 res 68°
Ph 5.9
PPM 320
I topped off 1 gallon with nutes today brought it back up to 400 PPM Ph 5.7
Looking at the lower branches and i see some great looking clones.
I will start them in both rooter cubes and a bubbler. The bulk will go right above the clone area to veg
then I take clones for the areo cabinet (they all will go into bubblers). and flower under T5 Lighting.
I am looking for a UV 24" for in there too.
Wash, rinse, repeat. I think It will work.
I got the clone area ready. I did have to add a fan for the compressor.
Now temps are same as other cab so thats the best I can do.
Heres a pic.
Tomorrow I will take 2 from each and then cut off the suckers and clean these girls up.
Make them presentable. After looking at the large colas you guys grow I decided not to
top but to train. LST I should be able to keep them in check with this amount of height.

Cool, so it sounds like I should be able to fit them back in.
Good idea,
Thanks again man.

OK today we get clones.
I got my clonex gel and solution. Razor blade, scissors and water. Rooms ready, Plants are ready. The lights will go out in 2 hours so I am going to cut now and I will have pics tonight in the update.
By running my lights at night I can check on them after 8:00 pm and then again before 2:00 pm. That way I get readings when they wake up and when they go to sleep.
What I have found with a small res like this (7 gal) is if the Ph is correct, they use about a gallon of water and 100 PPM of nutes a day. In previous grows my ppms would rise when the water dropped. This one does not.
As the water level drops so does the nutrient level. That why I have been adding nutes. 1 gallon of water treated with 650 ppm nutes has been bringing it back to around 400 ppm.
So, time to catch a buzz and do some cutting.
