Hey fellow Stinkers!
Just got my 18 gal rubbermaid cloner and veg units completed and had a couple questions. I know Stink said to use 150 ml. of Clonex but how many gal of water do I put in?
Also, whats the best temp to keep my water at in the CLONER? Thanks again!
Oh,one more thing. When I picked up all my Botanicare nutes the owner of the hydro store said to also get Silica blast. What do ya think?

I like the Botanicare line. But I don't recommend their Sweet. I use Silica Blast and like the strength and size of the stem.Oh,one more thing. When I picked up all my Botanicare nutes the owner of the hydro store said to also get Silica blast. What do ya think?

At 36 days into flower, I've run into a little glitch... FIRE!
We were forced to evacuate our house! At about 5 PM yesterday, Tues, Cinco De Mayo, an officer knocked on the door and told us we had to evacuate. We have dodged 2 serious fires in the last 6 months - and now the Jesusita fire has driven us from our home. The firefighters are doing such a great job and working their asses off - I remain positive and confident. My wife and I are fine, but 3 firefighters were burned today battling for us - they are in hospital now.
I was able to go back to the house, for a brief visit this morning - and all was well. While many areas lost power last night, our house seems to have had juice! While the evacuation will probably go through Friday, I hope to be able to get in for another visit tomorrow... I'm hoping the power holds.
My town is on fire - but not in a good way!

Why?
In coco, I like AN Sweet Leaf, and tried Agricultural Organics Organic Sweet for a bit cause they were out of Sweet Leaf - and that seemed killer... now running the Botanicare Sweet with the Stink system. I don't know how it's going to turn out, but it's killer with my pancakes!

sorry to hear about the evac lion i was working in SB off milpas today watching it burn. hope your house comes out ok. my ride up into the hills to burn one at luch was cut short by a cop and a fire truck and a wall of smoke and fire. could have imagined my suprise to look up from a toke and see a cop flagging me down telling me to turn around. i know it is tuff i saw the little tent city going at the fairgrounds. let me know if you need some help anything tents, canopees icechests food blankets clothes a joint (got some green crack and some purps) im sure you guys are in a hotel though living it up like your on vacation drinking from the mini bar and ordering porn. take care brother and good luck.
As Rep mentioned below... lowering your spraybars a bit should do the trick. I use a variant of the Stink Veg unit for both clone and veg (just different lids). In my design, I mount the spray bars 8.5 inches OC from the bottom of the Rubbermaid 18 gallon container. I use a certain brand of EPS weather stripping (which I do not recall just now) to stop leaks from the edge of the lid.Hey there, just built my cloner per Stinks specs and the top leaks. Not where the lid meets the base but where the pots go into the holes. I used a 2' hole saw and inserted 2' pots but they leak quite a bit and make a puddle on top. Any ideas??
This unit has proven to be leak free for 3 batches - either around the lid or from the plant sites. Be sure you don't enlarge or alter the 2" hole when cleaning up with an exacto - keep the edges of the hole square. Keep the inserts level with the top of the net cup.

Good question about the Clonex - ml per gal would be helpful in those instructions... I'm thinking 10-15ml per 4L as the res comfortably holds about 10 - 12 gallons? I just go for a dip of the stem - letting most drip off... I pour about 15ml into a shot glass to use for dipping... and use about half that - so I am using approx about 7 ml per 10 gal of water... to make a long story short - like Stink says - you don't even need it! In fact - if you use too much, or for too long, it will actually retard root growth!Hey fellow Stinkers!

I was at GC Hydro about 2 hours after it started
It looked really bad then, the winds were crazy. Hopefully you come thru this OK... BUT just in case you need help. I have a truck and a large enclosed trailer if you need to pull anything out.
Having evacuated from fires before. Its really hard to get back into a mandatory evac area. Your gonna need a great story. Getting your cat or dog may work... Depends on how close the fire is.
PM me if you need that trailer.

Hey guys do you guys prefer mylar or panda film and why?

Depending on the room I usually choose between mylar or the bubble mylar insulation. As for the why "there is no substitute" (Dr. Green)

mylar folds over, and crinkles if you are not perfect with it. This encourages hot spots. It also gets greased up really easy.
Pandafilm is about same price, you can clean it and it is fairly accepting of waving and wrinkling...as in it doesnt do it. I use the film.
I wish to know more about this bubble reflector stuff you guys use on here.

Best of luck to ya Lion.. karma should keep your home safe.
revpip your grow is looking great!
Stink i think you started a growing revolution! I was at the hydro store yesterday and a guy had fence posts in the back of his truck.. I went inside and i saw him buying misters and netpots.. I had to smile!
Dabney blueberry? im at the first day of week 9 with my 2 DB original clones and they dont even look close. does anyone have info on this strain?
Also, i have a 435cfm fan that cools my 4 lights,, does anyone think if i upgraded to a bigger fan it would be beneficial? as of right now the room stays perfect, but my AC is kickin on constantly.

You can obtain from home depot or lowes etc but its that insulation that has bubble wrap in it that is covered in mylar. R8 I believe. Much Success.
Wow - thanks Aero - and all you that replied with offers of help and concern - I am truly touched!I was at GC Hydro about 2 hours after it started

I did just try to get back in and they would not let me... I guess it's out of my hands at this point!

The expensive high-power LED units work... check out my album. I expect you can build your own for less that would work better. Probably the best thread I've seen is this
My plants aren't growing as tall under the 350w LED. They are more dense; have shorter internodes.
HID will get you more growth, along with heat, electricity, and ducting possibly.
Pros and cons of course. I have been impressed enough with my results to know that, in the future(~1yr) when I grow for personal use, it will only be with LEDs.
