I am trying to switch over completely but still need to get a lot of stuff before I can switch over totally. It will be a long process but I will be there at some point

Clones look the same but there is some root growth on two of the plants. Here's a picture:

Alright guys so I just got done taking some measurements and pics of the 400 watt cab. Things are progressing nicely. I am going to start out the new DWC tote with 3 purple clones in it. The two are shooting out new roots like crazy, the one isn't but I'm not worried. I know she is rooted so she will be sending out roots through the cup in no time. Here are the pics and measurements for the DWC tote:

pH- 6.3
ppm- 852
water temp- 69°F
These three have been under 12/12 lighting and have bloom nutes in the rez since they were put in yesterday. They were cloned off a flowering plant that is why there are some white hairs on the already. If you look back to the last pics of these three you might be able to notice the difference in the leaves. The roots are obviously growing well :mrgreen:












Here is the church. She is recovering alright and is starting to push out some sticky buds. She is 25 days into flower








Here is the one soil purple plant that I left in the 400 watt cab. She got a little bleached on her top from the light intensity so I moved her down further from the light. She is looking a little droopy because I just gave her a good watering before taking pics. I tried to correct the leaf curl by changing the water pH I was giving her. I will see how she reacts in the next few days. She is also 25 days into flower as well as the other two purple plants in the other cab, those pics will be later on. The last pic in this set is a full shot of the 400 watt cab :blsmoke:

These next two pics are of the last two purple clones whose roots are now poking through the rockwool cubes. They are being fed thrive alive b-1 and 1/4 strength veg nutes




Alright these last few pics are of the 70 watt HPS + 42 watt 2700°K CFL cab. There is two purple plants in here, one in soil (in the back) and one in the DIY ebb and flow system(in the front). They are both getting much thicker especially the e+f purple. They are both 25 days into flower. The purple soil plant was also given a heavy watering with pHed water as I was trying to correct the leaf curl.

What is always relevant to me is how much work is put into grows. Always seems the more work that is put into them the better quality of the grow. Plants seem to be doing well. I see one of the plants leaves are curling down and in. What would you contribute that to??

Nice job. Outside of the leaf curl it looks like things are going very well.
Thanks man I should be getting that under control in the next week or two

Think I'm also going to build a bubbler for my future mother...
Should come in handy :D
yeah they work nice and are real easy and cheap to make

i would contribute that to the pH being too low. I am slowly trying to bring it back up without hurting the plant anymore.


Here are some pics of the DWC today. I replaced the one clone that wasn't poking roots through the net cup with another clone that was better rooted. Already in less than 24 hours there are roots coming out of the cup. This thing is awesome lol. Here are the pics:

Excellent work, absolutely amazing =]. I was curious as to the dimensions of your carbon scrubber as your set up is pretty awesome. Looking forward to the rest of the grow :D

Very nice work bro, I have never tried DWC nor do I know much about it, I just though that the net pot had to sit in the water at all times. I see yours seems to work off of humidity in the res, is that right? All off of condensation? Anyway I have a e&f sysytem but that 2 liter system you got kicks ass. Subscribed ....... Now a follower.

The scrubber has a diameter of 6 inches and is about 15 inches long. Thanks for the comments dude, I hope you enjoy the ride :blsmoke:

I like to start off my clones in DWC by just having the net cups a few inches off the water. This makes the roots reach for the humidity and send out nice roots. The roots are now in the water and sucking up the nutes. The one with the shorter roots is just taking a little longer to get to the water. Here's some pics:

no worries dude. I actually had to chop off some of the outside plants buds dude to rot. Not much, just a few of the bigger buds. They are all starting to purple up from the cold/ purple maxx. I am gonna try and get some new pics up of them in a couple days

time for them to GROW grow GROW ;)

I love following your threads!
Thanks a lot man :mrgreen:
I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the show bongsmilie

Thanks for the quick lesson, I will follow your steps with my clones. Quick question,,, whats the latest time into flowering you can take clones? I ask because I'm 31 days into my 12/12 and I wanted to clean up my ladies on the underside the help promote more growth toward the main colas and I thought it would be a waste if I just threw away the cutting.

I have seen people clone pretty late into flowering, you might be able to get away with getting those to root. Just use rooting powder and you will good to go
