This Bud's (Not) For You

DH asked me the other day if I could make money off of my houseplants by propagating them. I said, "OH Yeah, I could!" I just need a greenhouse to keep them during the winter months. I was thumbing through my Charley's Greenhouse catalog, and they have plant cloners, I can't afford any. They would eventually pay for themselves, I know, but right now we're kind of destitute. I then went to my hydroponics wish book. I found a hydroponics store in Paso, I still need to get there one of these days, but I know they exist, that's a plus.

I have been researching plant cloners pricing for some time now, going from this website to that. They are about as expensive as anything, some cost more than my car did. Anyway, I thought there has to be a way to make one. I made a protein skimmer for my salt water aquarium, how much harder could this one be? So I head on over to Google and ahve a looksee. Every site I found either wanted me to buy their plans, book, or setup or was a forum for illegal medicinals. Those guys sure know how to grow their plants! We gardeners should take a lesson from these closet growers, because they have some nice homemade hydroponics setups. I was impressed and scared by their ingenuity. Imagine what they could do if they tried to patent their setups, they would make a mint!

Back from the rabbit trail. I went to about 7 different cannabis fan sites to get plans for a homemade cloner. I just want to grow some Hoyas to sell, that's it. I know big government knows a lot more about me now than I do myself. They probably host those sited just so they can get IP addresses. The jaws are closing in on me, lol. I finally today found a tutorial which did not mention whether I needed male and female plants and how large of a bong to get. I'll take all the informative stuff I gleaned from the cannabis sites and this one and make myself a cloner. I'll let you know how it goes, and whether the feds come pounding on my door looking for pot. I'll even post pictures and a tutorial of my own.
