ok hey guys here are those fans rigged up there, the bottom one is sitting in front of the drainage hole acting as an exhaust fan and it's pushing air out.

i have ww clones marked ww1 and ww2 just incase one is male and there are a few really small ones branches off the bigger clones thought why waste em try an get more clones.

i have a 20 watt flouro on there i dunno if it's powerful enough for the job what do you guys think?

I put the fans in there running 15 mins every 2 hours it gets really hot in there i know it's spose to be humid but i figure ya still need fresh air those fans cost like 6 bucks delivered lol. and the 14 volt power supply was just going to waste so i used it
works a treat it's awesome.

got the idea here not my idea just thought id give it a go cheap ventilation
when the clones are up they will become inline fans in my veg cab.

Thats the way man, how good is RIU when ya start reading further and further, ya pick up heaps of great stuff. yeah that light is way to low in lumens since the just came from a 400w but it will get ya thru till after easter east as, then just plug that big bad boy 200w in

hey girdweed thanks for stopping by mate yeah thats how i done my clones last time worked well apart from the fact the mum was a she/male lol.

i dnt think i said in my last post but i used a basic rooting hormone powder as i had no luck with gel last time and prefered the powder each to their own

and im soaked my rockwool and jiffy pellets in dutch master a.p.s was like 18 bucks for 5 litres so meh fuck it if it helps me get clones good and well.

it's a cuttling spary for those that dnt know.

Fishing in Eagle River is pretty slow as the numbers decline more every year. I'm at about 300 feet elevation, stuck between the ocean and the mountains. :) The Kenai Peninsula is great in the summer/fall for big rainbows.

Thanks for the welcome! It looks like a fun grow and a fun journal.

Cheers!

Hey Jzs, plants are nice & bushy mate, Good Job :)
Why exactly do you have you fan pointed at your light? The light is a huge distance away from the plants as it is, so I would imagine the plants would benefit a great deal more from the Direct Airflow of the fan.
Use the old burn trick to get the lights as close to the plants as possible.
Put the back of your hand @ Canopy level & if it is uncomfortable, then your plants would be uncomfortable, so raise the light a little bit & try again until u find a comfortable height!

ok well i flicked the swith this morning. as there getting bigger and a lil harder to manage i.e lst.

not so much the widow the bag of seed just wants to grow straight up the stems are thicker and longer as i topped one but left 2 and yeah they want to grow
(got 2 bag of seed in the one pot. it the pot on the right closest to the camera in the last 2 pics).

thought i take some pics even though has't been a week but i figured give me something to compare to in like a week down the track into flowering.

Oh cool, so you are flowering. I like having weekly pics to go back and compare to aswell, its amazing how far they can come in such a short time, and mine stretched heaps when put into flowering, im 3 weeks in now, and have lovely buds forming.
J, do you know what sex your bagseed are, im assuming not being bagseed?

hey ozgirl. yep lights out at 11am on at 11pm this will be first day of flower.

nope not a clue i put name tags on all plants this morning and took like another 8 clones 2 ww's and 6 bagseed

just named em bs1,2 an 3 so if i get a male and the clones take i know which to toss.

first lot of clones look to be dieing so thought i may aswell.

sound like your getting to the fun part ozgirl hehe.

my lil shed is really humid to so i took em out of the esky and stuck em in my veg cab humidity is like 60% they seem to be dieing when i stick em in a humidity crib which was a lunch box type thing so i opened the lid and i will see how they go.

Yeah J, im convinced the esky is what killed mine, well that combined with being put in the sun for an hour, the esky really pushes the temps up so high, so I have ditched my esky. I moved to a large cloudly clear type container had the cfl lamp in the middle and mostly covered the top in clingwrap, gave it a light spay here and there, and the temps came down to low 20's with humidity averaging 80%. And every single seed I put in there germinated. It was free from using what was around here, and the conditions are perfect, so I just hope it has the same result for my new clones.
What are you using to try and root your clones??
