I have a bud on the Black Valley about the size of a 20oz pop bottle but thicker. I think that one has the potential to be an oz+ when it's dry. It's got 2 more buds about half that size on it and it's still got 28 days to go. I'm definitely going to be growing it again but she'll be way bigger the next time.

Had my best cloning time yet 7 days ,10 out of 14 popped roots . Plain RO water no ph no rooting hormones, under a t5 4 foot bulb about 3 feet abouve the tote
What kind of cloning system? Temps? What happened to the other four? I'm doing rockwool cubes and it's reliable but slow- and I hate rockwool.

image.jpg image.jpg I would say temps are around 75 in there I don't pay any attention I have a 4 inch inline sucking in air , humidity is really low at around 21% but likei said I do t pay attention to that , got timer on 1on 5off. The other four popped roots the next day still haven't changed the plain RO water been 13 days today I will and a little pro grow and Hydrogaurd but that's it I have never had one clone not root using this system .

Vewwy nice! I'm thinking my mistake with my turbocloner was to add anything to the water. I'll try your simpler method and see what I get. Did you use any sterilant with the initial setup?

What do you plant your now rooted babies into?

I belive my success with this is that I use a larger tote witch keeps the heat down but I also had 100% success with a 5 gallon bucket with one sprayer in there just took around 14 days , I used a low ratio of bleach to clean before I add water , but other then that nothing but RO Water no ph adjusting nothing exept the timer 1on 5off

Well I leave them in here for about anthor week then pick the best three and put them in 5 inch netpot with hydrotron in 15 gallon totes and vegg for 5-6 weeks I'm going for three monsters instead of the small plant high plant grow , I will toss the rest of the clones

I'm still in the 4x4x6½ tent. My lights on temp maxes out at 78. That's with the light from the 600 watt being exhausted and the 400 watt isn't. Just get those temps under control before it starts budding and you had a bunch of light and airy buds.

Not sure if I will be able to I'm using cool tubes with 6" exasting into attic . Might have to go to a 1000 watt on a light mover for the summer I'll let it ride for now but if it starts goig up to 90 again I'll have to do something

One of the best things I've learned by trial and error is that high temps equal airy buds. Do whatever you can to get those temps under control.

Hey man what would you consider ok temps? My daytime is around 83,84 and my nightime temps stay around 78. Do you think that's too warm? This is my first summer with hps so I guess it'll be a little bit of a learning experience. Might just spring for a vented hood with a speed controller for my inline fan.

That's not bad just as long as the humidity isn't too high 60% max if it's around 65% then you'd have a problem and you're bringing in plenty of fresh air. I've had temps in that range and been fine. An air cooled hood and an inline fan work wonders.
