Sure dude, as long as you are illuminating somewhere that is not getting HPS light at all. Otherwise it is like holding a candle in front of the sun. You're doing more harm than good by blocking HPS light. So it could help in certain spots, just light up the shadows.

Nah I wouldn't say I'm computer challenged, just computer lazy. I never signed up for any instant messenger stuff like that. No myspace or anything.

I just noticed this. This cloning thing is really easy once you get the routine down. Just getting my first roots now and the leaves are as green as the day I cut em.

dude, the styrofoam tray and peat pellet thing I have is like $6-10 at any hydro store or nursery and comes with a dome. Makes it so easy. I just change the water in the tray once every other day. That's it. Gotta roll out for now. Be back later.

OK here's a new update.
White Lady gen 3 clone: 51 days flower
Jock Horror: 35 days flower
Bubblicious: 32 days flower
White Lady gen 4 clones: 14 days flower
JH gen 2 clones: 14 days veg
Bubb gen 2 clones: 14 days veg
White Lady gen 5 clones: rooting
I took my 400 watt bulb out for cleaning and thought I'd snap some pics. Damn White Lady won't stop growing.
Older White Lady is almost ready for chop.
Jock is really starting to bulk up
Bubb is also starting to swell but a bit more leafy.
Also got all the clones to root again and they really look healthy this time.
A couple of them even started growing roots out of the top of the peat plug. Pretty cool.
I finally built my industrial-size air freshener and it works great so far. This has been done before so it's not my original idea. All it is is 1 cup ONA, 1 cup Soil Moist, and 10 cups water mixed up in the bottom of this bucket I had. Drill a bunch of holes (works better if you have a bigger drill bit than I did
) then seal a little muffin fan in the top that face upwards and set on low. Done.
For anyone with one or two plants or even someone who just wants to burn one in their pad without worrying about neighbors or unexpected visitors this thing is awesome. I hear that if you get the proper size bucket the tape is not even necessary. It has been running continuously for three days now in the corner and every time I come in it smells as fresh as when I first set it up. The reason for the Soil Moist is that apparently when it starts losing the smell I can pour plain water in there to recharge it. It's basically like one of those plug-in scented oil deals but magnified times 100. I will report as time goes by on how it keeps working.

Sure... in 3 weeks LOL. Because I didn't use the right size bucket the fan is sealed in by duct tape. I don't want to open it back up until I have to refill with scent - hopefully about three weeks. Nothing to see in there anyway. Empty bucket with holes in the side and a bit of liquid in the bottom. I also left the base of the fan on because it wedges down in there perfectly so it is not in the liquid but the fan requires no supporting structure to sit how it does.
Thanks man. It's an eight-month work in progress. There have been parts that haven't been so pretty but it's really starting to shape up nicely now. My plan is the have four different groups in the closet - two under each light. Each group will have 6 short plants (<3ft). These will be spaced 3 weeks apart in age. I already got it started with the 6 White Ladies in the front left but I let them get a bit taller than I wanted. I have two sets of vegging plants in the other closet awaiting their shot at the big time. These perpetual gardens take a few months to get up and running because you have to know what you're doing somewhat to get the plants to the right size at the right time or else you've got a jungle in there!

Hey Mared im going to copy ur cloning method with the peat plugs for my pink project bro..... U got that thing on lockdown , very well done!

Cool man. It's a very cheap and easy method. I'm thinking about adding a bubbler or air stone. I have a feeling that once the roots grow down into the water they are lacking air. Other than that it's a perfect system. Even with the waterlogged roots they take off in growth once I transplant into coco.

Yes I will modify a lil for dwc of course.... Where'd u get the bottomless peat plug holder tray... That setup is going to work sik in my system bro...Yes put an air stone in the water.... I havent read thru ur thread entirely but u could prolly get away with changing ur res water daily without a stone... I can forsee future problems with fungus and mold possibly tainting ur babies bro.

Yea dude, I've been changing the water every other day. I put in 1 gallon of water with 2 mL of Botanicare Liquid Karma and 5-6 eyedrops of grow nutes. I got the tray from HTGsupply.com but later found they have the exact same thing at my hydro store.
