Whoop! Whoop! Just visualized my beneficial nematodes going after those root aphids (spit, spit)!! They're chasing them out of the sponge & up the stem a little. Oh, the humanity! Root aphids are dying everywhere!

dd and keef are yall using a sponge to hold your plants? the reason i ask is one of the diy bubblers used a dish washing sponge and put the greenie to the top. i figured a sponge would hold to much water.

Good Evening OFC, Good Deal on your tetra Keef, I can't wait either, to see how they will grow......Yard dog bacon and egg sandwich sound good. Taking my bacon out of the frez. now. And, what do you have there a horse? Big *** dog.

Giggy --We use polyurethane foam collars !--but I don't float cuts --I see no reason a piece of Styrofoam wouldn't work !-- Make a hole thru the middle for the cut to go thru !--U can always break or cut the strofoam off the cut after it roots!--My foam collars just hold the cut secure in the baskets I use !--I noticed Kraven's cloner only uses foam collars! --Object be to keep the green side up and dry and the stem side down and wet so it can root! --U got this !

 

[giggy]

Keef, we in the mid 60's during the day for now. I am itching to start riding to work again. I need to find someone that can do leather repair.

do as i always did and get a hooked needle a pair of pliers and start sewing.

Snapped a picture of boonies foot. And I don't have small hands.

that's a paw.

 

[Keef]

I cooked bacon and eggs with toast tonight !-- I'm full now !---Thanks Nes !-- U get your grow up and working U might want to practice up on your cloning skills !

Giggy more bubbles --more better ! --

i had planned to keep the top and cut holes for a collar but haven't found what to use yet. was thinking about pool noodles or pipe rap and a hole saw.

I would giggy, but it's the zipper on my leather jacket. I am worried about the strength. I'd hate to go down again and the jacket zipper not hold up.

keef i have a dual outlet pump (old used but works) and i tied the outlets together so both sides will push the stone. was thinking about making a bubble ring then i wouldn't have to deal with trying to find a good stone.

i hear you bro. i can't zip my jacket either, but mine is because i gained so much weight. i have lost 45 pounds but i got aways to go to get to where i want to be. you know it hurts me to wear my jacket anymore, it flairs my tendonitis up bad. i guess it is from the weight of the jacket.

Talking about though wild boar has got everyone thinking pork. Tomorrow, I'm having bacon and eggs. Keef, I have no room or equipment for clones at the time. In the future, maybe. Have not been feeling right all day. Head been feeling like it is in the clouds. Going to watch a little TV, then call it a night. Good Night

 

[giggy]

good night nes, hope you feel better tomorrow.

No Giggy not the song !--It's a remake or heavily sampled version of Sugar ,Sugar -How U get so Fly !--Can't remember the artist! --
Cuz cut a piece of Styrofoam a little smaller than the container --leave room for the bubbler hose or make a hole in the Styrofoam for it !-- Stick some holes in it with an ice pick or something --Stick the stems of your cuts through the holes ---float it on the water !---They don't need much light !--I don't use a dome or anything !---How close to put the holes ? --How big your cuts ?-- Smaller more --bigger fewer !

 

[Keef]

I don't even bother with rooting hormones or anything !-- Usually got white bumps on the stem at about a week --root spurs at 10 days or so !--Some root sooner-- some later !--U can pick them up and look at how the roots are developing -They got one inch root or longer U can put them in dirt or other medium !

 

[giggy]

might try that keef. i have also read to use just water and change it every 5 days. are you talking the archie's sugar sugar?

i just got done pulling the pucks out of my pots and not a one had any signs of a root.

 

[Keef]

D.D. reminded me that we once rooted a one inch cut in a Styrofoam egg carton cup !--I didn 't mean a thick piece of Styrofoam ---A piece from a meat tray they sell hamburger and stuff in will work fine !--Long as U float them securely so they don't turn over !--I would just put all the cuts in the same piece of Styrofoam !

 

[giggy]

i'll see what i can find.

Giggy, do you ride? I have a set of race leathers I like to wear when I ride Street. It saved my bacon once, although it is very impractical to wear unless I'm just going out for a ride.

 

[giggy]

yes i'm a rider, but i haven't rode in a bit. i had a few bouts with vertigo. haven't had any for a year so it's time again. i have a old sporty that hasn't seen daylight in many many years. when i would go home i would swipe one of my brothers bikes and ride for awhile. i now have a custom painted (black with flames) 2004 v92 victory cruiser and a original unrestored 82 gl1100 honda. i want to chop the sporty but the ol lady wants a trike. i told her i had to have a shop first. here's a older pic of the victory while it was still in texas.

 

[yarddog]

Victory makes a good bike. Your not going to hack that sporty up for a trike are you?! I want to get an old skool bike, a chopper. Springer front end, hard tail. I have a line on a chopper, guy made it in the 80's. Has a shovelhead. Wish I could buy it. It's non running with 10 years of dust but he won't sell. I guess I don't blame him.
Nothing like the feel of riding. I hope your vertigo holds off so yiu can get some miles in this year.
