Yep I'm sure it's top notch, I've done it without gel no problem before, but anything to help of course!

awesome bro thanks
you guys think a cabinet at these measurements sufficient enough to house a mother (maybe even 2 on the floor) and shelf possibly for humidity dome with new cuttings and such...flurorescent light hanging at the top...looking to possibly build this in my corner of the room...what you guys think thanks as always

Looks good to me I see no reason a space that size wouldn't work out for now. I'd get some shelves like you pictured off to the side one above the other perhaps. You kinda have to figure it out as you go in tight spaces but you can still make it happen.
Those dimensions would suit a 2ft fluorescent setup perfect but any light that can support a mother will work. You got to start somewhere and the sooner the better

Half of my veg tent. I can usually have 2-3 good sized plants and plenty of room for stuff like that. What you see is about 1/2 of a 2x4 tent. Between the other 2x4 tent I bloom in and a small light box upstairs I can have all kinds of things going on.
The light box is just some blueboard screwed together and painted white inside. The lights I crimped together and insulated with a craft glue gun. Nothing fancy but it's serving a purpose.

I think that cabinet would work for 1 decent sized mom and a clone dome. Just run a 2ft 1 bulb t5 for the dome and anthoer 2 bulb 2ft t5 all bulbs at 6500k. As for the rooting gel, ive never used that kind...i go rootech or clonex myself...

Mr. Sparkle
That will work perfectly fine, it all depends on how many clones you need and how big you need them, i micro grow now, and can keep a good 10-15 mothers in a sqft if needed producing 5-10 clones every two weeks, per mother, so you should be more than fine

Impressive!
awesome bro thanks...yeah basically what im trying to do is just like yours..your the man thanks
yeah i should need more than 10-15 clones every 2-3 months i imagine...doing a SOG grow for my first time..just want to have some clones ready to go after this first harvest is done just so i dont have to start from seed all from start again ya know..thanks homie
word thanks as always sturgeon...once i cut these tonight should i put the 1.5" ill be putting these cuttings into right into the 4x4" cubes right away or let them get rooted in the small cubes for a few days? and should i let all of them reach 6" or before i switch to 12/12 light cycle for flower or since i image they are gonna be 4-6" cuttings just go right to 12/12 as soon i put them into the 1.5" cubes or wait a fw days or what? just asking since im bascically copying your exact style ya know hahaha thanks again

Let them take root in the cubes under a dome for at least 7 days or until they show roots, it can take 12+ days. 24 hrs low light. Keep %80 humidity. A 12/12 cycle would trigger flowering response in the cut rather than directing energy to root.
word bro thanks...obv ive been doing a bunch of research so i know basically what to do I just like ask you pro's basically double checking everything ya know...i appreciate the feedback
Ya, root them in the 1.5s and dome till the root system is nice and healthy. I usually wait until i see at least 10 strand of root before putting in to the 4x4s. Then i let them get about a foot tall beforw flowering.
oh a foot tall huh..ok cool..just most SOG stuff ive seen on the internet says to basically flip light schedule soon after the cuttings take root..your the man so im doing whatever you say homie...thanks

Your right. A traditional true sog has 4 plants/sqf and is flipped asap. But its come to refer to any tight canopy grows using many plants to get the weight. Like what sturgeon is doing, like what I got going.
ok...so wait till they are near 1ft then switch right...hoping when i do the cuttings tonight i can get 2 plants/per sq ft=18 cuttings from the 2 plants i got... would be awesome in my opinion...and 600w enough for that many or do i really need to get a 1000w? and when should i be thinking Silica Blast, Hydroplex, Tea's or Hydroguard or any supplements like that you guys? or these things not for awhile or if at all for a noob...sturgeon told me in past but i didnt write it down

However you want to slice it you don't have a space constraint yet because you haven't reached that point so you can just focus on getting lots of plants going healthy all at once. My tent is 6 plants per 8 sqf topped and trained to give me about 40 flowering tops all together. Plants/sqf isn't anything you need to worry about it's always mentioned in sog grow logs because that's a classic way to get bunches of pot asap with a simple little setup and whatever lights you can basically that was part of the method, I've heard of people doing 8+ plants/sqf. I'd say 1 is as tight as I'd want to go unless I find a strain that makes single colas straight up.
This run I'm trusting my base to deliver, let's see what she's got! I like the numbers and is supposed to be a complete nutrient. I'm only adding kelp and humic acid. I'm still debating whether to spike them with koolbloom at least once but I as m strongly resisting the temptation.

I do a semi sog. In a sog setup you pack as many as you can in to a tray or whatever to get all colas. In a 3x3 that would be about 34 plants or so ...
oh damn son 34 ok...well guess ill just cut as many as I believe that are available between the two White Widows...then just save the afghani for the mother plant/clone room...since i planned on ordering more seeds anyways...i'd unreal excited if two plants produced let alone quite a few as you guys are saying...hopefully i can get say 6 cuttings per plant that would equal 12 or more total...im down for 34 too hahaha
