Don't get me started !-- I can be bad by myself -- I don't need no help!
RE -- about that cloner -- The reason I ended up with those 35 gallon cloner boxes was the 1st aero cloner that I bought -- it didn't hold enough water to take the heat from the pump without warming up -- It get over 80 U can get white slime that kill your cuts -- happened to me - more than once --
By using those 35 gallon boxes with about 12 gallons of water and running my pumps 15 on - 15 off - I fixed that !
I couldn't see the pump and sprayer - If U using micro sprayer U will need a filter -- Too hard of spray mess your clones up too by beating up !-- Keep an eye on your res temp !-- res may not be big enough when it warms up in the spring to absorb the heat !--
My cloners are those 35 gallon black boxes with a yellow/or orange lid with a 4 inch checkerboard pattern on it -- I glue a filtered 396 gallon per hour pump to a ceramics tile for stability - pumps straight up thru a square figure 8 PVC spray manifold with micro sprayer every 3 inches or so --sitting right on top the pump-- drill the 2 inch holes in the squares they have so kindly laid out for U -- Fill it up until the water almost up to spray manifold-- Add clones in aero baskets and collars and done !-- air stone running 24/7 - pump 15/15
Cost $50 ish probably less !
Some lids have diamonds some squares -- J don't have to drill a 2 inch hole in every square -- I was high when I built my first one -- it had 35 squares and I drilled a 2 in hole in all them all !-- Had to make the following ones match !--Lots of grow holes ?-- Then I started adding nutes and growing midgets in them !
Hellova good SOG box !-- Root them and flip them!

Got my cuts of the blueberry making purple bud -- there were 5 empty holes in the cloner so U know how many I took --- About a month into bloom -- they'll make Blue Berry bushes !-- She gonna be a heavy producer too !-- fat soft purple almost a lavender color buds a month in and now is the time her mom would bulk up !-- She gonna do it too ! -- I probably be growing a bunch of this!--
 
Well I took some cuttings so we’ll see in a week or so if I was able...the donors were about 3or4 weeks into flower so it might take a bit longer...I trimmed as much flower off as I could without damaging the cuts...

Oh that's a dome !- I thought the cuts would go in top the dome !-- U good if it don't get too hot !-- I don't even use a dome but humidity run about 50% and the cuts are not gonna dry out !-- You'll see roots on most if not all in a week or so ! -- You'll be where U want by spring !-- How big an outside grow U planning ?
 
Don't try to take the bud off when cloning from bloom -- U know how it packs those leaves together as it buds ?-- Everyone of those leaf nodes will grow a branch - Not much shaping needed they'll bush coming right out the ground ! -- It do take a bit longer for tbem to root - They got 2 things happening at the same time they trying to root and reveg !--
 
I’m just tryin to learn new stuff is all...it’s pretty dry around here in the winter with that ol heater on...I’ll put a temp probe down in the water and an rh meter up top...I found some cheap ones on amazon so at least I should have an idea where I am...I don’t care if I lose these plants but it seems like a good growing skill to have...it gets too hot in the house, I’ll take it back out to my shed....chilly out there
 
I root lots of different plants in just a cup of water on the window sill. It almost never fails, just gotta change the water every few days. I'm trying to get some sage going right now. It's been cold tho.i ain't checked it in a day or two... I should go do that!
 
Nov I'll be needing to set up a herb garden too -- I've cloned fresh herbs off the shelf- bring them home put a sprig in the cloner and forget about it -- I've grown Basil - Rosemary -thyme and oregano- and peppers always kept green onions and garlic chives around -- I even rooted the base of a bunch of celery once -- Got a hanging strawberry plant in the grow right now -- It's just not hanging yet I need a hook but it putting runners out all over -- Had to take it out of aero - needed the room !-- I guess it will be the start of the strawberry patch at the new place ?-- Need me some dam everbearing blueberry bushes too !- Use the used nute water on them then ferment theyass !-- Waste not want not !--
 
I don't think it matters Gloman -- Maybe I'm wrong but Seems like time and temperature --
2 !- counting the tokes in a vape pen -- Where was I at again ?-- It's right there Other Keef - OK --2 !--or was that 3 ?-- Too High I try again another time -- So far I know they got 2 or was it 3 tokes !--
 
Good Morning OFC...Looking like a bit of rain for us starting tomorrow night...and then 50's and 30's for a week or so.... dang perfect to me! This run has been up-potted again into 5 gallon bags and have taken off...transplant shock was minimal ...I am still amazed by the LED Lights...seems they make all phases easier on the plant. I never realized how hard the HPS lights can be in a small grow area...you can keep air temp in check and still have heat problems. I have totally changed the grow room for LED ...lots more room now with all the duct work gone. I know this is a common phrase....but I am convinced LED lights are the future for indoor gardening. With prices falling you cannot go wrong with them. Hitting some Gelato this morning and then off for a job. Peace Ya'll

Morning OFC -- Sunday morning in the mudhole !-- I try to hide it but I'm about over this travel trailer and the mudhole !-- They should start showing me houses this week -- Had some caps and a little Debbie cake for breakfast --lost my hash oil cartridge again -- Got some sticky Sour Dubb in the bong -- Not in as bad of shape this morning as I expected !-- Not feeling like a spring chicken but I'm holding my own --
HP-- I'm all about LEDs -- These marshydro 300 watt reflector series I got getting old -- So I'm gonna get new lights for the new place !-- Today is the day we fill up the other half of bloom -- This grow is up and running !-- Now it just needs to be maintained !
 
Got rooted clones to pot - move a group to bloom - move some babies to bigger pots -- make sure I got a rooted cut of everything in an aero box to take with me -- I had fire but I think I upgraded with this grow -- Still need that high CBD Indica -- Get some pain relief without getting so high !- Don't get me wrong I like a good buzz but U got to be able to function !
More coffee 1st !-' Not in a hurry !-Maybe hit this bong one more time ?
