week 3 update:
I had to take down my 400w mh as my dam ballast kept overheating and shutting off at random times.
I am using fluros right now and it seems to be working just fine. I have had some additional top growth and the roots are finally working their way out of the sides of the basket...
1 week of dwc.
I emptied out the res, cleaned and scrubbed it w/ a sponge purified water and some horticulture h202. Then i made my first batch of nutrients consisting of:
6 gallons of purified water
1 1/4 teaspoon of maxibloom GH
40 ml of 30% h202
Shook the s*** out of the 5 gallon jugg...

I had to switch from 24/0 to 20/4 due to my ballast overheating and shutting off. It tripped me out when...

Hey guys and gals,
Today is day 1 of a new, fantastic journey that I will share with all of you. Hopefully at the end of the process i'll have created many clones and a good amount of bud (3-4oz).
The setup:
10 gallon rubbermaid tub
2 walmart air pumps
2 lil' air stones
2 large airstones...
highlife,
i have finally grown some roots out of 1 of my clones, now its time to start the DWC.
i have the same nutes as you and will be using a 10 gal rubbermaid for one plant. i know its prolly overkill but whatever, its at my house and ready to be used.
q's for you: what level nutes do i...
kp,
when u say 1/4 nutes, do you mean 1/4 nutes of the recommended amount for cuttings or 1/4 nutes of what the full amount of nutes are?
for example, i have a clone w/ solid roots that i am starting tomorrow, or today to be technical, the directions say 1/4 teaspoon per gallon for cuttings...
so after 5 weeks and 2 methods, I was finally fed up w/ my 1st attempt at cloning. I open up the rapid rooter dome and start removing the cuttings. I remove the 2 bagseed attempts which were on their way to death. I then proceed to start removing the 3 blue rhino cuttings. As I pull up the...
So should i attempt more clones now or wait til after harvesting? I have the clones under 24/0 light currently and have had no luck.
I think ill try a bubble cloner next, as i am going dwc for my first hydro grow, the moms are in soil right now.
I took the cuttings from the bottom half of the mother plant. I cut them w/ an exactoknife at a 45 degree angle after the 3rd node. I gently pulled off the 3rd set of leaves and and cut there. I then split the end w/ the knife and agitated the sides w/ the knife as well.
The light is two...
