GIRL's GOT SKILLS

scrap the pots and try beds. they will give you more time inbetween dryouts and might make that difference in time you are looking for. i use to run 5 gallon pots and then after switching to Promix Beds i never had a need to change. I like simplicity and ease of the geobeds. They are basically a 3'x6' Smartpot and has a pvc structure in it to keep it sturdy but also provides you the place to plug more pvc in and use that for your trellis net supports. The beds when watered thoroughly can go easily a few days in between watering.. not only will you be happy with more time your plants will be happier getting to extend those roots through out the bed and they will reward you

How many plants you putting in one of those beds? Just checked them out looks like a good deal. Like the 4x7 they have for the room I'm building

I only have two 4 x 4 x 6.5' tents, one for veg and one for flower.

Might have to think about this, thanks.

i like my cloner between 400 & 500tds at 6.0 PH with nothing but clonex , kept at 75 degrees

how much PH down do you have to use putting the silica in the cloner ? & why do you add it ?

Its ok I have it figured out... the KLN is rooting hormone without any nutrients behind it .. so I added 10 mil a gallon then added my V+B till I hit 350ppm.5 scale set the ph at 6.0they have perked up big time... I said fuck it and called a botanist... he is a big time undercover pothead and a professor At UGA... Go Dawgs...yay... He has used KLN forever in big greenhouses he was my professor... for a while... he knew who I was and remembered me getting pot for him for about six months... FML I forgot all about that... he just laughed and said it was some good homegrown hydro... I told him I never grew it... he said maybe you didn't do it then but ill bet you do it know and your Knoledge Base far outstrips your experience... I about fell the fuck over... speechless.... then he straightened me out on a few things...

I heard 1ml of bleach does wonders in a cloner, keeps everything sterile

started to soak the cubes in 1ml of bleach recently and the roots look much happier, cant do the clone machines lol

If you have a cloner wax I check out permaclone.. they will tell you how to reboot it and keep it sterile... I'm using 4 drops per gallon after they sprout roots... I was told about it here and then had that chat last night and it was reconfirmed...

Aspen I only use the kln in the cup I put the cuts in whe I take them. I just use tap water in my home made dome bubble cloner. I add a ml of Clorox. That’s it.
