Good news about the cuttings getting rooted. It took me a couple times to get the setup just right so I could get 100% to pop every time. I would avoid tugging on them like you mentioned though. The baby roots are extremely fragile - even more so than a seed's taproot.

good news about the clones. Thats where its at. One of the clones I had shot up like 4 nodes. Since I dont have room in my veggy area I just put it into flowering. I have seen lots of people do this so I wanted to try it out. The little guy is only about 8" tall.
Sucks about the high temps lately, Its making me kinda nervous about the summer time...I do have central air where Im at now but I plan on moving after this harvest I just started(Aprilish) so Im not sure that will be the case. I guess its good to test the ventilation now before its 90-100 degrees outside

Why is your table not draining? Have you tried to set the whole table at a slant with the lower part on the side of the drain. This is what we did and it works great.

Day 8 for clones.
I am up to 7 strikes (Still all WB) and the ones that struck first are really going crazy.
Hey, Mared.... What's good buddy? Yea "tug" was prolly the wrong term. A very gentle pull just to make sure it does not come right out. If it does by about day 7 you should start over
Sure man. Drop a photo or 2 if you want. You should probably start a journal though. Lots of helpful stoners around here
Hey Stoney. Yep, Ventilation is job 1 in a grow op. If all else fails a portable AC unit will work in the hot months.
Cool Wild. Big ups for reading the whole rambling thing. It should get good soon with nuge in the next few weeks
Thansk for the interest in my op. 
Hi 420. Thanks for the tip. If I put in on an slight incline it does help but it still leaves some water because there are narrow groves in the bottom of the tub I used and the fitting actually set up from the bottom of the tub a few MM. If I had a little more space I would go get a factory table but they do not make one in a size that is efficient in my tent so I made one DIY.
I will take a few pics and post them shortly.

Day 9 for cloness
10/12 WB strikes and 0/2 DP
Fed moms 1000ppm + Epsom today and trimmed of dying leaves from PH issue. The look ok now. Still a little N diff but they are getting better. They have shot up several sprouts each since cutting that are about 6" long. Sweet. Even if I lose all the clones I have that are not rooted yet I am set for my first run. Prolly 3-4 more days and its time for clones to hit the table!
Clones are getting 250PPM FloraNova Bloom. I LOVE this stuff. IT almost adjusts my PH to under 6 with just 250PPM. Awesome! Holding PH when I am in flower will be easy.
ROOTS!

Ebb/Flow is just another term for flood/drain. I can go in to greater detail or find a relevant link if you are still unsure wtf I am talking about.

Day 12 for clones and I have 8-9 ready for the tray. Profuse roots and they are starting to grow in the clone box. Got my timer for the water pump. Time for flower baby! Still don't have my inline fan or carbon filter but soon, I promise.
Everything goes up today. Pics later.

It's official. I'm growing hydro. 
I got lots done today -
Built new grow-tub home for Moms. 4x1600L CFL. Should give me enough growth to keep my 13-site table filled every 50 days. I will take a few clones tomorrow and will replace anything that is slow growing in the flower chamber with them in a couple weeks. I got 100% success rate on my clones. Once I got the cutting process down every clone I took had good roots. No cloning gel or nutes. Just rockwool, water and a heat mat under a single CFL. F/D table is up and in the tent filled with my clones. Flooding every 3 hours during lights on. Light is about 30" away. I plan on lowering the light 6-12" a day and switching to 12/12 when I got to 12" from tops. I will be on 12/12 in 3 days tops. :
:
I am still using the humidifier in my grow until I get my big fan. There is just barely room for it but it all fits. I need to get an extension cord with the 3 receptical end so I can plug in my air pump in the res and I am set.
Flood/Drain table is running 1000PPM FloraNova Bloom. I LOVE this stuff. 100ml in my 12 gallons of res water made 1000PPM @ .5 and just below 6 on PH. PERFECT!!
Supplies:
2 tubs - $10
Another power strip - $5
Another manual timer - $6
New Mom home:
Clones in the clonebox before transplant
F/D table empty
Table with ladies on board.
