ALPHA 13
after 6 weeks the mothers are looking good.
Next will be the cloning.
The fun starts. Will be doing a 4 x 4 hydro .
That one small plant is a Magash auto, next to the temp gage.

Got the cloner filled last night. Took me 2 1/2 hours to fill that thing.
Clones looked good this morning. Will try and get a pic up later.

The clones
I use an Easy Cloner The process is simple. I look for clones that will have a inch to inch and a half of stem sticking out of the pad that holds them. Scrap the stem with a knife , cut the end of the stem to a 45 degree and dip in a rooting gel. I change the water every day. With in 20 days the clones are ready.

Normally I use T5's. Because of the heat I'm using T12's fluorescent for cloning. This has been a real hot Sept here in S Texas.
As for flowering, I'll be using a 1000 watt hps.

Sad to say the water temp is killing the clones. The problem is a hot Sept and a pump that makes to much heat.
Must thank Magash for the fix.
So I'm changing the water twice a day hoping to 9 clones out of 60. This way there will be a full 2 x 2 tray.
MayBE I'll get some clones.
I look at the failures as a time of learning.

I'm gona go with Magash on this one. Cost less than $50. This was in another thread. http://www.growery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/686956/page/1
I don't know a aquarium chiller. Maybe a small freezer. Would love to talk about this.
Maybe PM me.
Been blessed with a cool spell. Getting to 60f at night. Water temps drop to 80f. Hope this gets me more root growth.

Went to take down the cloner and found more root growth. So I added some FF nutes as per the feeding chart. A little less. 12 hours later one of the clones has perked up. Will give it two more days , then see were the clones are at.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

So 6 clones may make it. That's a big maybe. Had to use the wicks that came with the set up. Short roots.
Only Time Will Tell.

The battle with the pH continues. Its a pain in the ass but doable.
A 7 th clone got add, its doing the best, had the longest roots. 3 clones did not make it. Leaving 4 clones with one being a maybe.
Going to repeat the 1st 3 weeks, the clones are just recovering so I think the extra veg time is needed.

Showing a pic of the larger plant. pH is still being a pain in the ass but this one already has roots coming out of the pot.
The smaller ones are also growing well.
Hate seeing the top leaves but the pH has to be worked out before I start thinking about my Sweet 16 grow.

Tonight I change the res, been running for 30 days with the same nute set up. Was hopping the small plants would catch up in size to the bigger plant. That's not going to happen.
The buds are starting to get thicker and are getting a great smell to them.
The bigger the root = bigger plants in hydro.
Will be getting some cal/mag soon. Hope that helps the pH problem.
Got to get buckets to haul well water to test for pH, maybe that will be more stable.
Need to get the problems worked out. Will not be long before I germinate the Sweet 16 seeds. I was told to take care of these seeds and as long as I had to wait to get them , damn sure will.
At this time I belive the tap water to be the problem.

The trichomes are many and still clear. The sample I took was great. Hope to see some amber with in 3 weeks. Now at 2 months 1 week.
Still looking for better water.
