i used a 2" hole saw makes perfect holes thinking about using some net pots and cutting the bottoms out for some added support not sure its totally necessary but would prably make handling the cuttings a little easier.

Thanx, I figured it was something more professional.

so im going on 6 weeks now here are some pics that i got they are looking pretty good.

nugs are filling in very nice they are all about the same size and density like rocks.

another one of the plants.



and here they all are i will be letting them veg from now on like i been doing im just going to prune them all the same and top them like i did on the ones in the back row

even the lower branches have much larger colas now.

very frosty like sugar cookies lol.

Looking good Green!!
I have 8 different strains. 1 clone of each, gonna make moms of em. Most are starting to grow nice now.

thanks man i actually just cloned my og skunk and just waiting for them to root cant wait to get some of those in the flower room.

Shit looks BLAAAZE man

I'm toppin the way you have those ones in the back row...can def see the difference

thanks man ya it took a little while but the ones in the back row are going to be the way i do them all from now on and i also decided to get another 3 400's and going to have 3 over each 2 trays. i should be getting the rest of the equipment here in a few weeks then i will be in full swing . you can see on the first pic even the lower buds what where usually smaller than a pinky nail and airy as a cotton ball are now big and dense as well.

Those buds look like you spilled a jar of kosher salt on them. Awesome.

haha thanks man i just jumped on your thread those little babies are looking good. im going to be starting another thread on my grow seeings how this one is a little long i should be getting the rest of my equipment in a few weeks then things will be all out.

So what did you do different from the back and front plants in your last pictures? And im confused are you going straight from cloning with no veg time SOG style or are you giving them veg time after the cloner?

Can you give me some tips on cloning? I've failed at every try and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

the difference between the front and back rows is the ones in the front where zero veg and the ones in the back where 2 week vegged, lolly popped and topped im going to go with the back row style of lolly popping and vegging because even though the front ones look like about a 1/2 ounce the back row is going to definitly yield more so i can only have 8 in a tray vs 30 it will keep my plant counts way down with almost the same yield o and i am using 3 400's instead of one over each tray i will have 3 over each 2 way more light.

hey DK how are you cloning and what problems are occurring when you do clone?

I use peat pellets and takeroot, but I can never get them to root. I put the pellet in a cup w/soil and throw a misted ziploc bag over the cutting o keep it humid. Then I put them in a cupboard with a CFL aimed near, but not directly at them. They never take root and it's starting to get frustrating.

EDIT: The first couple times I just did the 45 degree cut, but the last time I also tried stripping the bark off the outside as well. Still no luck.

i see man i have never used peat pellets for cloning i just use rapid rooters and a humidity dome/propagation tray and have always used this method since i first started growing and had at least 90% success rate. i use clonex rooting gel with a tiny bit of ph'd tap water in the tray and it usually takes about 2 weeks for them to have some good roots established. the whole setup is only like 25 bucks and works good temps are a big thing to if they get to cold or to hot it can take allot longer to see roots. i have tried aero cloner and bubble cloners as well and got stuck in a rut actually when i lost a batch in each (2 batches, 60 total) and just couldnt seem to clone anymore now im back to my old method and they are looking great finally.

Okay So you take clones you put the in a dome tray and then once the root you put them into veg for 2 weeks and then flower from there? And how many flood tables do you have in your flower room 2 correct?

yup but i will take about double the clones i need so i can choose the quickest and best rooted 16 of the bunch then when i veg them i will go by height mostly i want them all at about 10" and they should all be at about that in about 2 weeks usually. i have 2 2x4 trays i just did some work in the flower room last night will post pics little later im getting prepped for 3 more lights and 2 more trays in a few weeks.

Nice. Im definitely looking forward to seeing how everything turns out!!

I'll probably just order some clonex and get myself a proper setup, then. I checked around and 50 rapid rooters will only cost about $12, so I'll give them a try. I got some quality seeds coming in the mail and I really want to be able to preserve their genetics if at all possible.

I'm kind of confused, because I've heard some people say they need indirect light, but some will put their clones right underneath a light. Does one work better than the other?

well here is a few pics of the remodel. everything is done on the right side and the left side will be identical to this.

ballasts are outside the room now makes inside the room much MUCH cooler

rockin 3 400's for 1200 watts

and the trays end to end for a 2x8 tray basically
