Strain: Unknown, will pm ebay cutting supplier and ask if he knows.
Lighting: 400w MH ultimately, currently 2 cfl's on the ceiling in my dining room
Grow Media/Soil Mix: hydroton and rockwool in a bubbler bucket, with coco coir providing initial stability til roots take hold of rock wool
Fertilizer: GH Flora Nova Grow 7-4-10 at 1.25ml/L(dh2o), currently at 10% solution of ultimate strength
Temperature Range: ~80degF day, unsure of night cycle
Humidity: 50%
Started From: Seed or Clone
Start Date: Sept 10, 2008

Other Details/Images:
So, not much to report. The transplant was a success and I'm slowly acclimating it to the dryness it will experience under the mh with the fan going for a total of 6 hours during the 16 hour day cycle. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as all my other sallies haven't been very happy. I'm assuming the hydro will keep it healthy despite low humidity, anyone have any input on that regard? Well, anyway, here are the pics...




thats my plant. best cutting i've received so far. I can give you the name of the ebay supplier if you need it just shoot me a pm. I highly recommend you ask for a rooted cutting, for while he may not always have an auction up for one, he seems to always have a few on hand(and rooted cuttings are better at making the journey to your doorstep).



thats the bucket I made. basically its a 5 gal, with a net pot insert (trace the outter lip at the top, and concentrically trace the bottom of the net pot then cut out at a line between the two you traced) and two ~6" airstones attached to a ~60 gph dual channel airpump. To the right you can just make out the bag hydroton, and below that is the fan, thats set to run for an hour or two every 4. Not really scientific, just enough to provide cooling and air movement, but not constantly barrage the babies with dry air. And the other parts of the image belong in another forum Cheesy



this is my half built aerocloner. Its really simple to make, makes cloning damn near fool proof, and costs half as much to build than buy. Plus you can smoke a bowl of your favorite herb and finish building before you even come down. I'm waiting on the misters (replacement EZcloner misters :devil:) then it will be good to go. Good thing I have nothing to clone yet Tongue
