DIRTY OLD MAN.;-)

hey old man i need to thank you for making me reread als clon e thread and put your tested knowledge well, to the test. and i am on day 8 in the humidome with upside down rr plugs with everything except the heat mat and they are suckin up some water...i mean dammit, you can watch em stand up after watering. my cloner is still running with a batch of 30 in it but i think im getting 9 out of 10 in the humidome. the watering is much more forgiving than the rw cubes and for some reason faster than the aerocloner....whoulda thunkit:dunce:


sincerely.....thank you:finger:.....jk....had to:twisted:

so im ditchin the perlite and rw floc in the bottom and going straight hydroton....but do i have to water all the time? even during lights off, or will the roots dry up if i dont? i think i wanna flood 5 times at 4 minutes each during lights on but dont know if i have to flood at night. i know this is normally frowned upon but i'm stuck and really really high on my purple/white widow......

HEY OLD! Thanks man. All my clones made it thru and the tub is running nicely bro.Thanks for all ur help!Heres some current pix of my clones in the tub. Acouple didnt look like they were going to make it cuz i went to early i think but.Yea i cant believe it myself.100%.I did take my time seing how i really didnt have anything else going on. And i wanted success.
Now if u wouldnt mind. Ive seen you post some great info about plant spacing inside ur grow space. I cant find it man and am afraid with the sudden success ive had that maybe i may not have enuff room in my pots to do 3/pot.
Is there any way when u get time that u can throw up another one of those insanely nice formulas on plant spacing per grow space bro.

Anyhow thanks for all ur help man SERIOUSLY.

Aww man, sorry, must have missed that one......I water 4x/day-15 minutes each.....freeflow from feeder tubes......so thats about the same wet period as a 4-5 minute fill and 8 minute drain....no need to water at night (mr 80% humidity...lol) mine do fine all night (6:00pm last watering bfore lights out-7:30am about 30 minutes after lights on)

Very nice, happy to help........I run 4 plants per square foot. (12 rows of 8--6" pots in a 6x4' rectangle

This definately requires good airflow, 40-50% humidity levels, and properly pruned lollipops....I would say if you can maintain healthy foliage then they are not too densely planted.

If you start losing foliage to powdery mildew/lack of light/lack of airflow.....cull out a couple weaklings to open it up a little.

:peace:
