What did you accomplish today?

Went to check on the girls this morning and the Boonie pepper is coated in aphids with the leaves shiny from honeydew. I dragged it out of the room again and sprayed it again (Triazide). I had ordered some lady bugs but they were shown as delivered 2 days ago, so I figured they went to someone else's mail box. Guess what showed up about 10 mins after I sprayed it? The bugs are hangin in the fridge for a bit until I can get the pepper plant cleaned off so I don't kill them.

You're welcome...lol. Work smarter not harder.
Almost got 1/3 of the 2000sqft ceiling hung myself, not fully screwed off will do that with the scaffold. If I had a clone of me, lol, or another sheetrocker i’d have double the amount hung and screwed off with aluminum scaffolding. And no worse for the wear. I used to do this shit for a living. Learned how to work smarter long time ago. But this hoist is pretty slick hanging lids by yourself that’s for sure bro.

Pool shock yes, and further sterilize the fuck out of it in between clone crops.
I believe @tyler.durden knows the formula to make a stock solution of the pool shock. I forget what it is. Make sure and buy a packet of pool shock with calcium hypochlorite as the ingredient, not sure about using the other ones.
I recommend 24/7 if the temps are a little too low. Using a cycle time to go say, 4 min on 1 off, can help reduce temps of the water.
I never did use a cloning solution in the water. Just straight up ph corrected water with pool shock.

I use 2 grams of 73% calcium hypochlorite (pool shock) per gallon to make the solution. I then add about 20ml of that to my 3 gallon cloner rez every 2-3 days...

I use Dip-n-Grow rooting hormone, absolute best I've found. I like to run the cloner 24/7 for the first week, then cycle timer for about 9 min off, one minute on. But no problem to just run the cloner without a timer. As long as the water is below 85f, and above 55f, all is good...

These are the roots in 10 days.

I’ve been to lazy to make an aero cloner. Everyone’s on here all look the goods. I’m still running a $7 small greenhouse, with heat mat and eco pods. I Just dip em in honey. Maybe I should get all diy and put one together, I’ll probably just get high though.

Wow! Have these gone up in price. I bought 4 of 'em like, 8 years ago when they were $60. They do rock, though. You're probably better off now DIY...

I’ve made three diy bubble cloners .
1st. Was a coffee can single site using a nettie pot and a aquatic air pump.
2nd. A 5 gallon bucket with 9 holes using neoprene puks I cut from a kneeling pad and a commercial air pump.
3rd. A 27 gallon tote ( just like @doublejj but smaller ) same air pump but really large air stones .

100% success rate

But now I use 72 site humidity dome with a t5 for clones and seeds. Still a 100%.

Thanx dude.

Been using hormex.

That was another q i forgot. How important is ph in aero?

I haven't ph anything in years with good success, even in bubble where the cut never yellowed a bit.

My temp @ 75, which i know is much too high. Can that inhibit root formation? Of course the nasties would flourish. Replenishing tap every other to keep them at bay. Shock is on its way now.

So I'm without a cycle timer or ph meter atm. Again I've never had an issue so thought id give it a whirl without either.

Best cycle timer? All the knock offs have shit review. Cheapskates pay twice and all.

Matter of fact can you just do it all for me?:D:leaf:
I got this one and it works great, 4 off 1 on.

Emptied soil out of all but the 65 gallon pots. Watered Gelato mothers and gave seedlings their first feeding of fish emulsion. Trimmed up a few zips and ran out of jars. Working on filling some bags up now. Need to hurry up and knock this trimming out of the way so I have more time to focus on the next crop.
I finished the rest of my dry trim yesterday glad that shits over. The sweet black angel x goofy grape is the pick of the litter for that run. I pay for seeds that are a bit howz it going and the free ones of an riu grow sent to me are killer. I’ll probably run her clones in the big tent next grow just slightly long flower time
I need to clean my other tent out now and get the purple haze and wedding cake s1 in there.
Don’t let the scissors smack you on the ass on the way back to the trim room bro

I've gotten into no-till gardening. Anything 10g or bigger soaks over the winter.
When it's time to plant something new, I just cut a hole in the top, drop the plant in, then top dress with a scoop of bio-live.

I've been making compost tea like sourdough.

  • Use one bucket.
  • Pour half from the other bucket
  • Top off both buckets with water.
  • Add 1 oz of brown sugar to both buckets.
  • Wait 24 hrs.
  • Repeat.
I’ve been slacking. I need to hit everything with some ewc tea. And the mothers with some alfalfa/kelp tea, looking bushy af. These led cobs have a learning curve though. Plants are magnesium whores under them. Foliar fed with mg supplement today.595FA58F-C7BF-4407-837B-AC07130F4180.jpeg
