ok, I have kind of a random question, which may or may not matter. I use an aeroponic system with 3" net pots. In past grows I have started from seed and have had great results. Now that I am using clones I'm wondering where and how you place your clones into your net pots?

The clones I just used were very healthy with roots EVERYWHERE. I place them into the bottom of the net pot usually with some roots hanging out already. Then I cover the top and sides with good ol' hydroton. I never use those damn cocotec liners anymore. They are expensive and seemingly worthless.

I think when I used to clone I started towards the middle or top of the net pot. Anyone else have a preference for a reason? Does it not matter at all and I'm paranoid?
 
When I've set up aeroponic pots, I fill the net pot half-way with growrocks, and put the 1.5 inch rockwool cube on the rocks, and then fill rocks around the cube, packed tight, and then covering the top of the cube.

You want a lot of roots growing out the sides of the netpots as well as the bottom, so that will anchor your plant when it's heavy with buds.

HTH :mrgreen:
 
yes, I think thats how I used to do it. Your method has several advantages I am beginning to remember. Ugg, I just planted 6 and they only have one layer of pebbles under them if any. Might try to take them out and redo it. thanks for input.

right now i'm using a painting I found in the garage, which has many brite colours. It is for the side liting so i has many buds on tha sides and bottoms.

anticipated yield ---------------> 31.94 pounds.


p.s. yesterday i sprouted to seeds. What is a soil?
 
you should also consider a hologram with both the moon and the sun. although 31.94 pounds sounds like you already know what your doing.

fuck sprouting seeds btw, ive been germinating clones instead
 
earl places plugs in the bottom, anyone noticed? personally i would say we can all look up to him as a good example

This is pretty much the same as I do. I use those clay balls instead of rocks. :mrgreen::peace:

Mice & moles ate all the beetles, but soil still seems fairly good. Routs is poppin out tha sides of my soil bags. Brown tips indicate healthy root strenths.

holograms r obviously helpin my grow. Changin frum blue colord flood lite today 2 my new red LED's. Holograms should provide additional liting sources from tha sides. My plants is gonna b realy bushy.
 
hi, i'm new to this grow thing, could you tell me where you get them red leds? I couldnt find them at our local garden store.
Is there another name for those Mice & moles things? Cause the guy at my garden store is fcuken stupid, i tried to explain to him, but he didnt know what i was talking about.

ya some store have LED. Check out walmart in tha electronics department.

best way to get beetle is go out on a night after rain. Find decent road kill and pout it in your yard. Wait for beetle to come about and fin tha dinner.

Also look in trees around your properties to find the prized soil beetles.

Next time you at your garden store ask da fcukkin guy "WHere THA f'kin mouse and mole at" jus like that. this is cuz it is a cannabis thing and he dont wanna b sketchy.

good luck man
 
those leds are expensive from stores, try getting them out of your remote controls, i hear the infrareds are like super reds. or i just point mines remote towards plants and turn press vol + button 25 times a day, growth is amazing.
 
Could i not put the remote on some sort of timer? your way would take up alot of my time.
That idiot at the garden store is takin the piss out of me, i asked him for white rhyno clones and he pretended he knew nothing about them. And he also knows nothing about cannabis growing, cause when i asked "Where that fcukin mouse and mole at", he told me to go to the pet shop. The cheek of him!!!
And he definately doesn't have any LED lights, i checked! I'll check Walmart, cheers folks your help.

P.S Are you sure the red ones (LEDs) are for the clones?
