Drinking from a Cattle Trough

When in doubt, toss it? : )
👍
Way too much invested in a flowering plant. Here anyways, hydro will make a plant but it’s not like I can stick her in the corner. I’m forced to plan way out in the future. I’m at 2 months on these strains now, to get one into flower will be 2 more months then she drops balls half way through flower. That’s half a year

So when in doubt toss em out
 
When Maui was in flower to sex she was in my aptly named sec box. It was designed as a RDWC system but I was curious how it would do F/D without a medium.
The new root growth is white, the brownish roots came from veg. So I’d have to say yes it will work. So you ask why? It’s all about the oxygen

Yes. Glad you stopped by C, I took that temperature shot for you actually. It’s hard to understand from a human perspective but plants like their water cool
When you move into soilless growing, even a aero Cloner you’ve got to start thinking about micro environments. Or 2 zones; root and plant. Absolutely the roots want closer to 70, trick is the plants want it closer to 80. It’s our job to get that accomplished
 
Thanks Jadin, I moved it into the bedroom that's usually near 72. Right now it's 74, but tomorrow night temps are supposed to drop outside and the room will be closer to 70. I added Southern Ag to the water yesterday and I've read to add it every 2-3 days. Got the small bottle but it should last for a couple weeks.

This is TOO hard. In a few weeks I'm going outside! LOL

It becomes 2nd nature. The 2 controls above and below the clones. Air 78, water 70. Just set and forget!😁

So I talk with a representative from Seed Supreme. We agreed I’d give growing for them a shot. Nothing formal just free seeds to start.
My first requirement was stealth. No matter legal or not some things we just kee private. For me, not blessed by the state, yet.

Never considered the amount of plants in the pot! 🤯 : )

The A&B! One of the first beans getting popped for next season (shed).

As usual, looking amazing in there!😍
 
Okay, I just thought of something. What about those cooling coolers? You know with the temp. controls for keeping food cold. They'll hold water and the little pump with suction cups will stick on the bottom. Sock holes in the top and voila. Not for you of course, your setup is elegant and doesn't use much electricity.
(it's Spring and my creative thoughts are multiplying. 😉 )

That’s creative I have to say! How many cookies were involved with that thought process😂

Some ideas that don’t cost much
- put your pump on a timer. 24/7 is not required
-set the Cloner on concrete or tile
-Increase water capacity. You can go so far as sitting the Cloner into a larger tote, elevated some, drill holes in Cloner bottom now the water capacity can handle the heat
Lots of cheap things you can do, we can talk about a chiller this fall👍
 
Maui 86 pheno 1&2- they’ve been in flower for 12 days, long enough to show their sex.View attachment 2627203
Pheno #1 - she’s a beauty View attachment 2627204View attachment 2627205View attachment 2627206

Pheno #2 - I’m thinking 🤔, maybe she is confused, maybe she wants the best of both worlds. Hell, I don’t know but when in doubt……View attachment 2627207View attachment 2627208View attachment 2627209
Lemme guess it's the bigger one on the right?
Would toss it as well, seems obvious that it's growing some balls below the upcoming boobs 😒
