+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

3/15/2020 - COVID-19 panic is still on the rise. My job has essentially ceased for the time being. Now I'm stuck at home all day with a tent that is only on at night, so it's doubly unfair!
I should be nearing the end of flowering with these girls. Pistils are starting to change to orange and I'm seeing a second push of fresh white pistils now. Maybe three weeks from now? I'm either entering the beginning of a fade or battling nutrient imbalances, only time will tell. I've been changing reservoirs out every four days and really leaning into the Bloom nutrient solution. Checking pH and PPM twice a day right now, and letting the PPMs creep up a bit, near 1600 before bringing them back down to 1400.
Scent is really picking up. It's hard to tell, but I don't think my whole living space wreaks. I'll do a better job curing this time around to preserve all this wonderful bouquet. After watching some videos on bubble hash, it's looking like I've found an answer for all the bud I don't want to trim. I'll make hash, then either keep it as is or press it into rosin. Either way, it'll still be a ton less work than trimming a bunch of larf and more useful than mulching it.
I was able to take some pics right after lights out this morning. Moved a floor lamp into the tent and took pics for about 15 minutes. Too many beautiful buds!
3/17/2020 - I've been riding my PPMs pretty high all week, at about the 1650 PPM average. The plants seem okay with it, but I'm not sure. I'm still seeing some spotting on leaves that looks like CalMag deficiency. Ran out of pH UP, and it'll be a couple days before my order arrives. Levels seem to be fine, and I put a blanket over my reservoir in an attempt to lessen prolonged evaporation. I'll might build smaller reservoirs that can be sacrificed when pH gets wonky.
I should probably pop four more AlphaKronik seeds, cause I got some things I want to test. Namely: Canna AquaVega/Flores, both stages are a two bottle blend. The main draw: Aqua line is supposedly pH buffered, which would make my life so much easier right now.

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! 🙏

@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)
