The shelf is used to hold small plants close to the light. I don't always use it. I clone for other people and the soil growers can't always pick up the clones right away.
So I need to grow the clones in soil for a while and they need light.

The spray is what it is. Water air humidity in just the right mixture.

Wow thank you SO MUCH! That clearly took time and effort on your part - I am humbly appreciative.

Maybe a stupid question but how often do you mist them?

Place your bucket under a CFL or florescent light bar. They don't require much light at this point. I place mine one foot below my light bar. Try and keep temps around 80ºF to 85ºF (a bit warm). I can get it to clone at 95ºF, but it takes an extra week. I have trouble when it drops below 75ºF. If it does I will place a small aquarium heater inside the clone machine set at 85ºF. I vent my clone/mother room but I won't run the small oscillating fan until I get roots (it tends to dry the cuttings out).

No spray bottle or misting is required at all. I never mist them:

The pond pump stays on and mists the stem day and night until you get roots growing.

Are they rooted yet Rump? Have you tried giving them indirect room lighting before?

i am going to buiild this too

as soon as my bucket is done.

should i order the 1300 pump or should i spent the $5 for the next one up or is it too big?

also, your shelves gave me a great idea, i am going to put shelve strips in my room and modify my CFL holders to conect to the shelve brackets and i have awesome adjustable side lighting! unless there is a better way to keep my clip on cfl side lightings up...

PS. what are you using for your fan? is that a shelve strip or something else? i want to put them up in my room to do CFL's and a fan like that.

if it is a shelf strip, how do you connect the fan to it?

also., my local grow shop has via aqua pump but never heard of a model 1300. they were like 302, 303 or something like that. will any via aqua pump work that has a certain GPH??? or does it need ot be that one?

Ok, I wish you had not asked this. They found a home last weekend in a soil grow of a good friend. I forgot to get some pictures of the transplant. They all rooted as they always do, even though it was 90 degrees it still only took 14 days. I will cut some more tonight and get some photos posted up.

Sorry for the shitty finish to my build. Kicking myself,

As long as it is around 300 GPH it should be fine.

This isn't a shitty finish. Nothing you do is shitty. This is another awesome diy thread by you. I take everything you say as the gospel of marijuana growing.

Sweet, found my next project.

I bought a pump the other day but too small I think.
Will try again.

I can't be 100% sure. I have only used this one pump (via aqua 1300) and never tried another. Please let us know how what you find out.
