This design is based on Stevehman's recirculating NFTish grow. The only revision is instead of the "U" shape the tubes are both fed from one end, then join together to drain back into the res.
So yesterday I received my new EZ Clone 60 and took 6 clones from each of my 4 - Barney's Farm G13 / Haze mothers. That gives me 24 clones to populate my system of 16-18 plants and at least one of each to replant and LST from the start.
I had decided that plant 10 was less flavorful than plant 8 even though both had grape overtones with a haze finish. I was going to cull it but decided to give it another shot... don't know exactly why I guess I wasn't ready to give up on the genetics.
Here are the summaries from the last grow on these 4 plants.
7 - Haze - 69.9g
8 - Grape - 83.8g
9 - Spice - 47g
10- Grape - 61.8g
Here is a shot of the EZ-Clone 60 and my Advanced LED's 180W all blue veg light.
A little tighter shot on the clones:
There has been about a month of downtime since my last grow ended, mainly due to an ill fated DIY bubble cloner - henceforth known as the cloneslayer. I made the decision (bad) to have my stems submerged, I had seen it work on youtube both submerged and not so I opted for submerged figuring it was less risky. They all developed rot on the stems and I pulled them after about 2 weeks.
Because of all the downtime my mothers were way out of control. I took my clones trimmed about 2/3 of the branches and decided to try my hand at LST. I would like to have stringently consistent clones for the purpose of comparison growing. So the plan here is to take the long lanky mom and bend it over, hopefully the shoots off the side of the main stem will turn toward the light and make me a nice row of even sized clones.
I used 2 oz fishing sinkers to weight them down, we will see what happens. If they die I have replacements in the cloner...
And here is the start of the DIY StevehmaNFT system:
I drilled into the tub sandwich (2 rubbermaids with polyurethane foam in between) and then placed a section of PVC in the tub, leveled it and marked the wall. I drilled one side of the wall but must have drifted a little when I drilled the other side because the pipe now points down.. so I have to re-drill and then move on. More pics to come.
