if i was you, i would just do DWC cloner... with aero, you would have to build a 2 tote stacked system (see stinkbuds thread) in order to have them vegetate too...plus its $70 just for the proper timer... aero will offer a little bit better performance, but the dwc's gonna be cheaper for sure...

your mothers should heal in about 1-2 weeks...but i would wait, until you move a batch into flowering before taking another set, just to keep rotation steady.

haha i know you want bud soon! but the longer you veg the bigger your plants, the more tops, i.e more cola's...your gonna have to wait anyways, because you have 2 tables, you can only staggar monthly harvest...so it goes like this.

take 8 clones, 2-3 weeks till roots...
take another 8 clones... veg first batch for 3-4 weeks then move to flower
take another 8 clones... veg 2nd batch for 3-4 weeks then move to flower
take another 8 clones... veg 3rd batch for 3-4 weeks, HARVEST 1st batch, then move to flower
take another 8 clones... veg 4th batch for 3-4 weeks. HARVEST 2nd batch, move to flower... Rinse and repeat =)

I would use rockwool and expanded clay, you can bleach the clay and reuse it...perlite is messy =P

Here is a pic of the bubble cloner I made.. only 12 sites but it was cheap as hell to make...You could make one too very inexpensive..or just clone em' the old tried and true way, cut, dip, and drop em' in a cube or plug then keep them under a humidity tent till they root...a DIY aero cloner will be my next step in the cloning world, once I'm done playing with my bubble cloner... I noticed you built some ebb & flow tables, I grow ebb & flow too...If you can put a lid on the tray and suspend the net pots in the lid so the roots can dangle freely...this made a big difference in the size of my plants in the system...

I just finished making my own little cloner, it was really easy. I just got a rubbermaid, cut out the middle of the lid so that the only part left of the lid was the part that snaps on and fits around the edge, then I wrapped plastic wrap over the gap. I keep the clones in some plastic cups with duct tape around the edges and over the to. I have a heat mat underneath to keep things toasty too.

I just use hydroton, no rockwool or perlite and things work fine.

Whatsup, just signed up on this site because I found this thread on google. I have one waterfarm just to test out right now. I have one "bag seed" going right now and its looking good, but I am growing mostly tomatoes until i get a few more water farms. Just wanted to check in on this forum, I would like to see some pictures of the yield if you have any. Also, I have a 4 inch seedling from a bag seed going and I think it's time to put it into the waterfarm. Did you keep your pumps running 24/7 as a seedling? Did you add the Flora series nutrients when first put into the waterfarm?

Thanks for the help in advance, and good luck to you , sir.

Why are you starting to hate this site? BTW, If you need more room...you could start tying down your plants while they are still pretty flexible. Next time think about using t5's for veg....I don't know what your living situation is, but you could move your operation to a different room or maybe cut out some dry wall from your ceiling to place the lights higher...maybe in the rafters. To get another easy 5 inches or so you can get rid of the string and the hangers and screw a 2x4 to the ceiling and then screw the reflector to that.

Did you change yours light cycle? You can force flowering by changing from a 24 hr light cycle to a 12 on / 12 off. When you want to flower, make sure you provide your plants with some warm spectrum lighting (3000k t5's/CFL's or HPS). The change in light spectrum also lets them know it's time to flower.
