Random updates on stuff... posted in the 600... but seems aplicable here:
I kinda have a half NFT system, but I use pipes. You know how my closet has the two levels. The bottom level has dams in it, so the water level stays at around 2-2.5 inches... the top level has no dams and the water is just running along the bottom (nft). Last grow I took the dams out the top halfway through because between the dams and the massive roots, the tubes were clogged and water started running out the plant holes. It didn't do that on the bottom, so I left the dams. So this grow I started the clones in how the water levels were. The top only had less than a half inch of moving water and the bottom ones more of a bath.
I was thinking that I really needed to remove the dams on the bottom as even though the water was 'moving' in the lower level you couldn't tell by looking at it. And there aren't visable bubbles... it's not moving that fast. In my head the plants on the top had the water they needed flowing by and all the oxygen they could want with the open-ness of the tubes inside (not full of water). And I also thought that the bottom level would discourage root growth as the rockwool the plants were in was basically saturated the whole time.
I was wrong. The plants in the bottom developed much bigger root masses, even in the 'bath'. Convinced me that the more RDWC aspect of the bottom level beats NFT for me at least. So for next round I'm gonna put dams back in the top level. I'm not vegging as long as the grow where the tubes became blocked, so I'm thinking that won't be a problem.
I know there was no question... but thanks for asking, lol.
RDWC ftw!!!
Oh, and it's looking like I'm gonna pull about 8 oz out the closet this round. For only running 6 nice plants and going strait to 12/12 I'm rather happy. This next grow I'm gonna veg a week I think. I'm hoping that week of veg will do a LOT for the yeild. I got 18 from the Sour Kush, I think 20 oz is not out of the question this time. Should be getting new clones on Friday. Only a week of downtime... I've NEVER done that. Usually a couple months between. It's nice not changing setups, haha. Don't know what my problem was before changing all the time.

...another...
My mason jars had become a bit resiny, so (on the suggestion of DST) to clean out my jars, used 91% IPA (or ISO, whatever your preference). The jars came out like new, I used the same alcohol for the 3 jars and dumped it in the pyrex I use for making bho. It finished evaporating today, and this is what I scraped off the dish.
Also some pics of the Banana and Larry OG's. When it was said and done I figured out which were which. Not sure how they ended up in the positions they did in the growroom, but who cares, they grew and made some sweet buds. I can't wait for someone to smoke them, see how it is. I really wish my wife smoked about now, let her have a tester. My wife smoking is not very fun... rather annoying really.

Fuck that all looks so good man. I'm about to start slapping together a nice under current system or MPB system together to get some of that RDWC action going on over here.
Your hash looks fucking incredible, and your buds look so fucking frosty. Are you not smoking right now? I think I remember you saying you aren't smoking at the moment. But if you need someone to test them, you know I'm always a volunteer. I wish the greenhouse cover would hurry up and arrive already. Oh, and 8oz from 6 clones at 12/12 is really fucking good. You can always do 12 clones from 12/12, get a full p off your 600, wouldn't that be nice?

Things are looking great mate, I quite fancy growing an OG strain at some point, any recommendations?

Only one I know of is the D-OG Kush, aka Dog Kush. I think you might have access to that. Otherwise I just know locally available clones. I know there are some seeds you can buy from various breeders, but have no idea which ones are good and which are not.
Speaking of OG's. I picked me up some new 'clones' yesterday. Strains are:
D-OG Kush = Headband X OG Kush (5 plants)
OG Kush (1 plant, parent of D-OG Kush)
Herijuana = Killer New Haven x Petrolia Headstash (1 plant)
NBD X Herijuana = I don't know, but I'm going to find out (1 plant)
NY47 = NY Sour Diesel X AK47 (1 plant)
J-1 = Jack Herer X Skunk #1 (1 plant)

Looking good!
http://www.breedersboutique.com/ Has some DOG Kush, not sure if it's the same thing that your talking about, but from what I here it's legit √

If I'm not mistaken, the seeds these plants are grown from are the very first batch of DOG Kush there was. One and the same that breeders boutique offer. From what I hear and have seen it looks to be the bees knees. I've yet to smoke any, or see it in person. I can't wait.
That would be a good idea... however, I've never taken a clone in my life. Plus I have no where to put them even if I took some. I'm a one grow space man. I might end up cutting some off these plants, but the cuttings will just go in the trash. I offered for someone to come over and clone them, but they weren't interested.
Aint that the truth G. Gonna be one hell of a jungle. I got no idea how I'm going to handle this, but I do know that I will figure something out. I always do. Wifey said how I'm always stressed about what I'm going to do with a grow, but it always turns out. Thanks for stopping by the journal.
The plants are still just sitting on the table as I've been really busy since getting them, hopefully they will be in their homes later today. I'm thinking there will be lots of training going on... and maybe a little bushmaster to keep them in check. (i'm pretty secure using HCO products... whatever peeps are saying)
Will update when there is something to update.

Man all it takes is a cut, a 30 min soak in water, and stick it in some soil.....cut most of the leaves in half, and make sure your soil stays moist. Apart from the soak it'll take 2 mins, and in a week or 2 she'll have roots and be ready to go.oh lord. I'll see what I can do, lol. I just can't be bothered to take clones.jk. I'll work it out.

Me and soil don't get along too well. I'm assuming you never saw my 'attempt' at using soil. I think I got about 4 grams from 2 plants. Wasn't even good smoke. Plus I don't know where I would put them... I have cats with access to the entire house, except the grow space... and that is full up. It's not that I don't want to take clones... it's that it's really not practical for me. Props for the advice though. It's good to have you along for the ride Psychild. I've always loved that quote in your signature.
