Well Al B Fuct, its 2400w in budbox's 2 week harvest......

Hi Everyone im back bigger and better than my 1st grow which is in my sig if any of you missed it, but after 4 months and loads of learning I ended up with about 300g’s of some Class 1 skunk so now ive decided to go bigger, and if any of you have looked because of the title of the thread, I am basing it on Al B Fuct’s perpetual harvest, except that I am sticking it all in budbox’s…….anyways here’s the equipment-some still to get…….

Mother Veg Room/Clone Room

XXL Budbox
1 Flood and drain table kit (90cm x 90cm)
1 x 600w MH Bulb in cooltube for mothers
1 x X-stream 36 site aeroponic propagator
1 x 125w envirolite for clones
Light Curtain to block HID light
1 x 8” Extractor fan (centrifugal)
1 x 6” Intake Fan (centrifugal)

Flowering Room

‘Titan’ Budbox (200cm x 200cm x 200cm)
4 Flood and Drain tables
4 x 600w HPS all in cooltubes
1 x 8” Extractor fan with odoursock
1 x 6” Intake fan
1 x 6” Centrifugal fan blowing al cooltubes venting outside the budbox airmass

Ok so as you can see it is pretty much setup the same as Al. B Fuct except im using grow tents, I know there has been a lot of criticism of Budbox’s but I have had very good results with them, it also helps a bit against the supposed ‘FLIR’ infra-red because it leaves airspace between walls and the budbox, therefore no hot spots on the exterior walls…..

Anyways back to my grow…so I brought 5 x Great White Shark (GHS) and 5 x Lemon Skunk (GHS) and then 3 weeks later I brought 5 x Super Lemon Haze (GHS) so I have 15 mothers in the veg room, the GWS and Lemon are ready to take clones but the Lemon Haze wont be ready for about 2-3 weeks….so all in all they are about 6 weeks old except the L Hazes’s which are bout 3……

I am setting up to take clones tomorrow, I am gonna take 30 and stick them in the aerocloner with only ph’d water until I see some root growth then I will be adding a bit of Canna Rhizotonic cos ive seen some amazing results with it in aerocloners, I will be repeating this process every 2 weeks using about 24/30 for flowering hopefully 1 oz baby’s in SoG…..so basically with the 4 tables and an 8 week flowering time I will be harvesting every 2 weeks….although ive never cloned so im expecting some teething problems….the remaining clones may be raised as mothers or discarded…..

I still have some equipment to buy as I only have 1 flood table for the Flower room ordered with the light etc but it will all be coming I just haven’t got round to order it yet….

My Mothers are vegging with an 18/6 light cycle, with weak nutes (1.0ec) as I have the baby lemon haze’s in there but I will be upping this weekend as they are ready for it, also it may account for the GWS’s being a bit smaller than the lemon skunk plants, as you can clearly see from the pics below that the lemon is a lot bigger and greener/broader leafed….

I only use Canna Nutes Aqua Vega + Flores and also PK 13/14 in week 5 of flower, ive had good results with them and I also have got the feeding pretty good so far so why change it…..

Anyways have a look at my pics and feel free to comment, I need some advice about cloning in the aerocloner as ive never done it if anyone can help, anyways let me know….

THE FLOWERING ROOM........

Ok so hi again all, just a quick update because i took some cones today......

Ok Basically i took 30 clones about 5" tall and put them in the aerocloner, i labelled each clone to know what plant it was from, so i can discard any rubbish plants.....

Ok so here's what i done....

1) Steriise everything
2) I cut a clone from the plant
3) I cut at a 45degree angle and scraped a bit of the 'skin' off
4) I cut about 1cm up the bottom of the clone
5) I dipped in clonex cloning geland then placed in neoprene collars/net pots

Ok so i filled my Aerocloner Res with nothing but ph'd water - 5.8 - ive heard that any nutes at this stage can actually slow things down, but as soon as i see some root growth i will add some nutes.....

My res temp was a bit cool cos i got the water from the tap, however within the next couple of hours it should warm to ambient temperature which should be ok for the clones.....

I have my lid on my aerocloner but i have my vents open, does anyone have any advice on this......????

I have my aerocloner set to 15mins on and the 15 mins off, even during the night as its on a 18/6 lighting schedule......does this sound ok....???

This is my 1st time cloning so im expecting it not to work lol but if it does then maybe i have a green thumb, i dunno what else i coud adjust to make cloning conditions better.....

Anyways heres some pics, could anyone give me there opinion it would be very helpful,,,,,,thanks

I'm along for the ride! Looks nice

Ok quick update all about the clones....

I took them on friday about 5pm o theyve been inthe aerocloner for about 48 hours now.....

At 1st the clones all drooped but after a few hours they all perked up. 1 of the GWS clones looked like it was dead but i eft it and that also has perked up so its all looking good.

Im really hoping some roots tart showing this week and as soon as some do ill add a mall dose of Canna Rhizotonic in there to boost the roots for a couple of days......

Anyways heres some pics just taken of the clones.....no yellowing they look very healthy.....











Lemme know what you guys think, thanks all

Thanks for the comments all.....

Just a quick update...Day 4 - Still No Roots

I thought id change the water in the res because it was very hot and i thought it could only be good, when i put the new ater in i added 15ml of formulex-u can see the bottle in the pics-hopefully this might help them root soon.....

Ive also been doing a lot of reading and ive changed my timer for the aerocloner to 15 mins on and then 30 off, all day long......apparently the clones like a bit extra to dry out and use the oxygen so we'll see im still experimenting with a lot of this........

Here are some pics, it might be my eye sight but i could sear they look a bit bigger in these pics than they did for the last pics, does anyone agree??????

Lemme know ur opinions guys i really need advice on the clones as ive never done it before, do they look ok, do i just keep waiting?? Comment please thanks

They look good to me, give them a few more days and you will see progress. What have the temp ranges been for the res?

Hi, im not really too worried right at this moment because its only been 4 days and ive never seen anyone root that fast.....is it a good sign that the plants havent wilted at all and havent discoloured, also a bit of extra gowth???

The temps have been at max 20-25celcius which is not too high or low in my opinion, what do you and anyone else think.....let me know

MAn they look great! Don't expect them to pop right away it could be up to two weeks even. They all look amazingly green and perky though so I'm pretty sure you're doing just fine. You should come look at the grow in my sig, I'm working in hydro for the first time and you seem to have a somewhat comparable set up to mine and I'd like to get your opinion too. I'm subscribed here now so I'll be back.

Your plants look really happy.

Thanks DSN, ill be really happy aswell when the clone root cos thats the only thing thats worrying me right now, once i can clone i can continue with this perpetual harvest and enjoy free skunk forever muahahahahahah.............or thats the plan anyways lol keep posted bro.......

I think everything will be ok with Your clones.

I used a cloner that was similar to yours, I actually also think it was aero, but I left it on always and my water was mixed with b'cuzz root stimulator. Although this was fairly slow in my opinion so maybe the time off would help them. Also idk if yours has a humidity dome and idk that you need one with aero cloning. I know i use it with the plugs and like the results I was thinking maybe i could rig one up for my clone machine.

nice looking grow. how did you get your panda paper so perfect how did you attach it

Looks like one of the growtents in a box deals. Looks like pre cut vents and everything. I love those grow tents. *Drools*

i wanna do this too but how much is the elecrical bill can i get away with this in a suburban house

i wrote a little something on my diy aero cloner i built. i get roots in 3-5 days

if you think it'll help
