+3 strains
Clones like it warm and very humid.. i cut the long leaves, so its easier for them to concentrate in the Roots. Give your Girls a tansparent dome ( half of a Plasticbottle) and put them on a warm place with light

3/8/2020 - Whoops! I accidentally ran a reservoir for too long and learned an important lesson. My PPMs kept coming in high, and I kept topping off for a whole week. Not sure exactly the deficiency I was seeing, looked like CalMag, but it became apparent that the nutrients had gotten out of ratio. Lower leaves became necrotic, upper leaves showed damage at the tips and splotching on the main leaves. Built a new reservoir and will now do so every four days. Also decreased the time in between sprays to 1.3 sec every 45 sec (from 60 sec). Smell is getting more potent, and buds are beginning to bulk more. Hoping the Alphakronik puts on some weight; this harvest may be a little lighter than the last, but buds do feel tighter and denser.
I'm wondering if I should pop four more Alphakronik seeds... do I want to go right into another grow? Gotta decide this week. Considering switching to only four plants per grow. More even spacing, better training. Either way, I'll have to pop seeds and find females again.

Any way to speed up clone rooting? Have treated the stem portion with butyric acid. About a week in and my clones have not rooted.

@ThatsMyPurse yes I find it works a lot quicker if you provide the optimum temp and humidity so I use a heat mat with a heat controller set at 23c inside a germination/humidity box with clear plastic lid and then I reguarly mist the inside with water from a spray bottle .

How to maximize terpene production? I'm growing a strain that is supposed to be super stinky, and I so desperately want to get the full potential from this Chemdog cross. What does the plant need for producing terpenes and thiols? (My setup requires fully dissolved nutrients.)

-You can use additives like molasses and many others.
-You can play with the spectrum as they are spectrums that helps to have better veg and others to have better flo
-You can apply a dark period at the end of flowering.
-You try to reach the best values possible for your environment parameter.
-You need to have a stable genetic because cross can lean on the mother side or on the father side so if one smell good and the other not then you'll have to make a selection.
-You need to know when to harvest ( my cheese was at a perfect terpenes level when the trichomes were cloudy but an average smell when harvested with amber trichomes) , the harvest widow is important.

Started cutting today. Hung 1 plant in big chunks, left lower buds on.
Should I dry everything together? -or- Should I trim lower buds and make bubble ASAP?

Those buds look amazing! Great grow :)
I usually take my trim and freeze it fresh. When I'm ready to make hash, having the material already frozen will help the trichomes fall off. Perhaps freeze the trim from the first batch and join it with the second when it's ready?

@Mrs_Larimar, Thanks for the information. I've pulled them from the system back into a cloning tray and added a little heating pad under the tray. It's definitely high humidity in there, flooded some of the grooves in the tray to make sure of that. Going to wait until I see roots before moving them this time-- if they make it, but I've seen clones take longer to root.
Thank you again, love this community!

@ThatsMyPurse, we’ve been growing in it all winter lol! But we currently have 5 in full bloom and the rest are young ! We got a perfect rotation to keep it full between all stages of life! But the smell is starting to take over lol that’s why I’m interested in getting a filter system! But I’m gonna check into it and probably just do something like you said just hole cut what size I need in the door and just vent it out into the bigger room to keep the smell down thanks! 🙏

ThatsMyPursecommented5 years ago
@MiPotFarm, Ah, not sure if you are planning on doing your complete grow in the closet, but you won't have much need for a filter during Vegetation. I grow out my mothers for cloning in my closet and just leave the door cracked with a fan running. If you need to drill/cut a hole, doors can be pretty cheap. There's always Home Depot & Lowe's, but you could also check for a larger resale shop. One resale shop in my area has TONS of doors for super cheap. Just a suggestion

@ThatsMyPurse, yea I guess I should of been more descriptive! I was wondering if it was running out to fresh air to vent like through the wall or if you were just venting it out of the grow room into another? I ask because I’m putting one in my closet grow I’m using but I don’t want to vent it to the outside through my wall because I’m adding a grow room in my garage to be more permanent and don’t want to be putting holes in my house lol! So you said your venting yours into a bigger area I think you still did answer my question! Thanks

Pulled the clones from their little chamber too early and now it's been two weeks. I put them back in the lidded flat for high humidity two days ago. They are just starting to get rooted... or at least they are still alive. Not sure if they'll take. Input would be appreciated from a pro!?

@ThatsMyPurse, thank you appreciate the help, i have the same pump as well but i wasnt really happy with the droplet size(the same sprayers you started with) so im looking for better sprayers! thank you again i really appreciate the help.

ThatsMyPursecommented5 years ago
@joeymack, I ordered everything for the aeroponics project on amazon; the lights were ordered on alibaba.
All research for the main pump points to the Aquatech 8800-- it is used for pressurized R/O water systems and NSF rated. The pumps I'm using for draining the bins are some inexpensive 9V arduino pumps I found on amazon. The nozzles are poultry misters, but they were hard to find inexpensive fittings that contained no brass. If you aren't as obsessive about droplet size, the barbed style ones from Mist King are more convenient to work with -- just jam them into the end of your compatible tubing.
Good luck, have fun, be safe! (Maybe the other way around)
