Great info all around guys. I'm gonna get to work on my stadium in 2 weeks, I plan on using guttering under coco beds, drip fed RTW. Looking forward to that new thread bobble.
I have only personally done low pressure aeroponics(FAUX) but i have lots of knowledge on true aeroponics(TAG) and fogoponics pretty much same thing, basically what you are trying to acheive is this, you want the misters or fog in your case to come on just long enough to saturate everything but NOT form water droplets, once water droplets are formed it is FAUX, then the fog evaporates and it gets a few minutes of straight oxygen before it turns back on.
If you have bare stem clones sitting in just oxygen for longer than ten minutes you are actually kinda hurting them. Weed is really resilient and it wont show signs of lack of water and still will probably root excellent that way. and i have never seen a fog cloner so i could be wrong if your fog isnt dissapating that quick
try to think of it like soil, plant A gets watered then watered again when the pot is light, Plant B uses drippers and it is evenly saturated. Neither are gonna show signs of lack of water but plant B gonna do much better. there is a post in your last thread where you talked in depth about this and dry periods and such and DHF complimented how he couldnt say it better it basicially the same thing you tryin to apply to your cloner
if you have a short cycle timer set it to 5sec-1min ON and 4-5min OFF, that would still be about 15 min every hour, they are about $70 if you have to buy one but it be worth it imo but if you dont feel like buying one you prob be better with constant fog
Just my 2 cents... have they rooted yet btw ??
Bobblehead,
I respect you so much as a grower. I have watched you improve so much over the years. I is amazing.
Out of all of your threads I like this one the best for some reason. It is filled with so much information.
I have always loved what you do with Grape Skunk, but it looks like you are finding a new favorite in Strawberry DD. I know that you will have it completely and totally dialed in with your newest grow.
I am not on here much anymore, but I had to stop by and reread what I had already read in this thread and then finish reading what I hadn't. Now lets just hope I make it to work in time. Lol
Many blessings my friend.
Thanks for the kind note RL. I have to say that bobbleracks revamped is my favorite thread so far too. I was more hungry and I had a lot more to learn... but I still managed to pull off my highest yielding grow to date. bobblehead overtakes is about to get really good though... I jumped into the new spot too fast, and I wasn't ready for all the challenges presented to me. Shit happens, and sometimes you have to crawl your way out of a hole... As you already know.
I still have plenty of Grape Skunk beans... but I had to let my cut go because, as you mentioned, I have other genetics that yield heavier and are more potent. GS will always have it's place in my stockpile of genetics. I have plenty of other RL genetics to grow still... I've finally got my clone/seedling issues sorted. Maybe I'll get the chance to pop some of those beans.
Good to hear you're still working! If you're not on ic much that must mean you're busy in the real world, and that's what's important. I'm not going anywhere yet bro... We'll be in touch. Be well.
Glad to see you still around also reservation. Wondering if your seeds are available anywhere these days? Or if they will be available at anytime in the future. Missed my opportunity when they were on the bay. PM me if that works better
Was that "THE" Rez? Love your genetics! I just cannot afford them!
Bob,
In order to run a vertical SOG such as your bobble pods, how many mother plants would you have to keep on hand, say if I wanted to have 124 plants/clones each cycle?
Thanks for such an informative thread.
That's a loaded question.... I would suggest having several small plants, or a few medium plants, or 1-2 large plants.
One large bush in a 5gal pot will put out enough cuttings, but to get the 2-300 cuts I would take to get 124 clones... You're gonna have to veg a long time, along with training to bush the plant out. You can decrease this veg time by using more plants. I don't keep moms anymore. I just take cuts off the plants going into flower.
Depends on your situation and cloning ability.... I used to be horrible at cloning. Now I'm too nervous about felony charges to have more than 99 plants... State legal is even better!
Good luck.
