although i haven't sexed them yet so don't know if they're girls yet. let me re-phrase that, i don't know WHICH are girls, i know SOME will be, LOL.
i didn't want to flip to 12\12 until i had replicated them, i've had a bitch of a time this year getting my clones to root! last year, my
first year mind you, i had a
95% success rate with my cuttings. seemed like i could drop a fan leaf and it would take root, LOL.
this year, cloning has humbled me and made me actually LEARN how to clone, to understand, at least a little, the different variables involved so i could have a reliable source of healthy little girls.
i've actually built a cloner, inspired by looking at EVERY thread i could find about cloning and DIY projects, etc., etc., etc....
THANK YOU to all of the original posters!
anyway, here are a few pics of the cloner. and feel free to ask questions, although the pics speak for themselves.
1) inside, i've since removed those airwands and replaced them with 2 medium round airstones i got at the hydro store, lotsa more bubbles, lol
2) assembled, 18 stations, 3 rows of 6 sloppy 1 inch holes (the lid has ridges and my hole saw is shit) each clone is wrapped in a piece of pipe insulation and suspended just above the solution which consists of 2 gallons of tap water treated with 10ml of ThriveAlive B1 red and 2 drops Superthrive and 4 ml hygrozyme. (please tell me if the hygrozyme is a good idea, someone recommended it and it seemed to make sense to me, i may have mis-understood the application)
3) my first run, 17 of 18 rooted (that was before the addition of the hygrozyme)
4)
