Okay, @dbrn32 ‘s suggestion I took two clones, and as soon as they have roots they’ll go to flower. These are Girl Scout Cookies strain. It’s a hybrid, and doesn’t stretch much when making the switch. This is an experiment I’m sure it’s been done before but I dont know. So, the basics: ph’d Water was used, the medium is FFOF, it’s what I had. I used cloning gel for root development. I also sprayed the clones with Clonex spray. Just want to mention Clonex is made in Michigan… not relevant I know. I’m using a humidome, with a seed heating mat. They’ll need it, as the grow is located in a shed that gets chilly at night but not below 50°F. To be more accurate I’ve relocated my SensorPush to the inside of the humidome.

we live and learn @Bogleg still looks like primo bud, any special plans for it? i’m thinking i’m going to make a lot of tincure/oil this round…

I just put it in the jars with the rest and will smoke it when I get to it. :slight_smile:

Nice! You still looking at doing a few in something like that pvc type setup?

I am. My plan, if I choose to accept it, is to build a PVC system with a 4" pipe on top long enough to hold six clones using cloning collars. That will sit on top a self-contained stand made from 1" or 2" pipe (I have a bunch of both on hand). I’ll put a pump underneath between the legs of the stand and run the water through the whole system that way. I have to figure out a simple way to add, remove, and change the water in the system and I have to figure out how much water such a system would hold first to make sure it’s viable. If it isn’t I’ll have to hook up an external reservoir, in which case I have to re-think the whole thing.

I’m guessing there’s a particular reason you’re not just gonna pump out of one of the other res? Different strains?

Hmm… that’s a good idea… if I built it to connect to the 8 gallon tote the plant is in I could use the same water for everything… and perhaps build it so I could also use it for an RDWC system for the main tote with the mother plant in it… good news is I’m still in the seedling stage so I have time to figure it out… but I like the idea of being able to plug in the cloning station to an existing RDWC system… I guess I’ll start working on building the RDWC system soon.

lol, i hear ya on that !! that is what i prefer but my lungs just does not want to co-operate…

Very nice @Bogleg my smaller clone should be ready to come down, but I’ll be lucky if I get a whole gram out of her. Ok maybe closer estimate of 4 grams… On another note I just want to thank @dbrn32 for the suggestion of doing this. I love experimenting and I now know it can be done. I bet I could’ve left the smaller one in a solo cup. I’ll be taking a look to see what kind of root developement happened after being switched so quickly.

Ya, you know my hydro experience is a big fat goose egg lol. Just thought as I’m picturing it in my head. A slight pitch to the pvc (can we call it a header, unit, or whatever) then pump to the high end and let gravity take its course running to the low end, where it drains back into existing res. I’m not even sure if the advantages or disadvantages of doing it that way. So don’t let me be too convincing haha. But seems easy enough.

My initial thought is to build a two station RDWC with 8 gallon totes and a third 8 gallon tote as the control bucket. They will have a manifold on the backend with the control bucket on the front end. The manifold on the back end I could raise up to be level with the buckets (12" from the ground) and I could make it be able to hold clones (collars/holes in the top of it) with 3 on each side and the return line between the two sets of three. I’ll draw a picture.

@Bogleg @dbrn32
Don’t forget about @Dkr8180 hydro set up. That’s pretty sweet.
