Was chatting to hydro shop dude the other day not about how to make profit, but the easiest way to grow. In the course of the conversation he told me a story of a guy who came in, one of the few he knows of that have 'actually made it' using hydro. This guy only bought 4 inch cubes and Optimum nutes, Flower only. Seems he had a shed with a large concrete slab beside the shed, out of town. Shed was set up to veg only, but flower nutes were used the whole life cycle from clone to flower Clones were taken continually and put into the 4inch cubes The cubes sat in trays on trolleys and were wheeled outside at 3 weeks The rooted clones began flowering straight away and were flo…

And any ideas on some good shit mulch and fertiliser....Thanks for everyones input ....What a sik ass site,wish i had this source years ago..CHEERS...

At what stage of growth does one take cuttings for clones? Can you take cuttings at any time? If I am trying to time things so that I can finish the flowering of one batch then move new clones in asap how do I time it? What happens if my flowering chamber is full and the clones are ready to be moved? Jimbo

I was just experimenting with cloning a plant in just plain old water, tapwater not even ph-adjusted. I don't mind if the clone dies with no roots, it was just a topping from a plant that was too tall for the lighting. Anyway, I did my usual cut, trimmed off 3 nodes, sliced the base of the stem at 45-degrees and coated in clonex. I then placed it in a glass full of tap-water at room temprature (around 19 celcius). The clone has a ghetto coke-bottle humi-crib and is under 2 x 18w grow-lux fluros along with my other clones. Lighting is 18/6. I should also mention, root-zone temps are around 25 celcius.

The SCROG system intrigues me and I want to give it a go but I'm not able to find any topics that address the best delivery systems for i…
