This is what I do too with damn near 100%.

Either way you go just make sure the plant you take cuts from is as healthy as possible. Taking cuts from a sick plant will produce more sick plants. I started out using tops but with anything i like I'll keep a mother. Mothers are good for if youre not running something this round you can still keep her around. When your ready, pull cuts and keep it moving

If i understood correctly, the strain will keep its characteristics and not lose strength as long as the clone being cloned is healthy.
I only want 1 veg room so having the next run + mothers + clones wont give me much veg space.
Is there drawbacks regarding breeding for seeds from clones instead of plants from seed?

From what I've seen from seasoned growers if the mother is kept healthy then it's stable indefinitely. You get some drift if the mother isn't completely healthy. I dont fully inderstand rhe second question but im pretty lit tbh.

Looks to be one of the cheapest LEDs you can get from China. I know because I've seen a bajillion times on alibaba.

Did he ever specify which light it was?

Ya its about as cheap as you can get..

Good thing the 400w hps will be here today. Im sensing you guys are gonna want me to get that damn led out of there asap. Haha. I have a good bit of diy knowledge. Im 100% sure i can ge this thing hooked up today. Im gonna have to hit the hardware store n get some 6" duct but thats no big deal.

@Itzdwoodduhh
Here is how mine is hooked.
I show you how mine is plus how I have my lights run separate which when you get a bigger tent like a 4x4 for flower, u can separate your lights and exhaust..
Now in the 4th pic look above the ducting that is going to the lights, and you will see the ducting coming in the tent from the fan and filter..
See I have 2 ductings,
1 to duct air from my tent, and another one that comes from outside the room in the cold basement thru the wall, then into tent, then thru both lights and out the tent and upstairs into my register in the living room.
It comes out at about 78 degrees and keeps my house about 68 without my furnace ever kicking on..

Soo your filter and fan are pulling ari thru the light and out of the tent correct, fan pushing air toward filter? If i do this setup and have my filter and fan outside of the tent would i need to hook any duct to the other side of the light or just the side the fan and filter are pulling air thru. I only have 1 hole.in the top of tent soo i dont see where else i could pull air frm into the light besides just the reg air in the tent.

Its here!!!! Im going to get some duct and zip ties.

yes just run ducting from fan to filter.
No ducting on other side of hood.
Just open hole.

 

[Itzdwoodduhh]

As u can see theres not much room. Soo does it matter which side of hood i run the duct from?

Best to run it from the side the bulb is attached.

 

[Itzdwoodduhh]

Last question and i think i have it close to right. Should i have the power block for the light in or outside of the tent?

In my opinion duct clamps are much better than tape, pick up a enough of those as well.. Should be in the same place as the ducting..

Yea usually that’s best... usually It’s easier to mount outside too..

 

[Itzdwoodduhh]

This is it fellas, is she safe and correct? I got the fan pushing air down into the filter which is in return pulling air thru the hood open end to bulb end to duct to fan to filter....

Gotcha, i used zip straps then duct tape soo she should hold. Soo do we think all this will be safe sitting on the carpet n my room as shown, will the power block get hot?

Im sure it will work fine but it might work a little more efficiently if you could shorten the ducting a bit. If you put the filter directly ontop of where the ducting exits the tent would the filter fall through the hole or is it too big?

Do you have it dimmed down?

Even if you just laid the filter on it’s side ontop of the tent off to the side of the hole would probably work good too..

Well the main issue with putting it on the tent at all is weight. I would say the total weight of the fan and filter is probably close to 20/25lbs soo it deff wouldnt just sit in the hole w/o falling thru. I could maby rig somthing up but it would be pretty difficut. Honeslty when i stick my hand on the open end of the hood its pulling quite hard. Would it help to take the cloth off the filter any?
Ohh and yes, i have it dimmed down to 50% we shpuld be around 200w and i have the light like 3 or 4' over the canopy soo we should be ok right?

 

[Itzdwoodduhh]

Ohh yeh i could probably just lay it on top of the tent. Ill give that a whiirl later tonight if the light starts getting hotish.

if you are pushing air through the filter than the cloth should be off
actually the cloth should be on the inside of the filter
but that dosnt really matter just pull it off
everything else you have is fine the way it is

but there is one thing

please get that ballast off the carpet

those things can heat up
potentially melting your carpet and causing a fire
at least put a block of wood or something down under it

 

[Itzdwoodduhh]

How bout this? Haha i decided not to wait. Haha

 

[Itzdwoodduhh]

How bout this? Haha i decided not to wait. Haha

Im taking the cloth off now. Lol

 

[Itzdwoodduhh]

Think i got it. Anymore advice frm anyone is always welcome. Shes sucking haard thru the hole in the hood now. N i got a 4x4 block of wood under the power block and ive got the duct shortened to like 2.5/3' total n the cloths off.
Ohh the fishing poles in the top are just temporary bracing for the filter sitting on top of the tent cuz its quite heavy.
