Experimental grow with minimal hardware. Total cost of all equipment $90. Will update on very few weeks.

I call BS on any claim that you grow start to finish soilless medium without nutrients. It's a nonsensical claim to make, man. Plants need nutrients.

Anyway, to any future readers: Don't follow this purpleberry's advice, if you're not growing in soil, use nutrients!
Im only messing around haha i use mpk, map, calcium nitrate, megacrop. But you can grow with just water and still get a harvest

I enjoyed watching this whole scenario unfold immensely. I love stone cold trollery. I was Gunna chime in earlier and be like....."soilless is for pussies, I grow in a negative void", but I figured I've already been enough of a smart cunt here so far lol.
 
This is my first grow learning everyday, i have 2 Trainwrecks at the back and 2 Moby dicks up front under a mars hydro TS1000 and a ts600 rotating plant's around.
How does it look ? Any advice ?

Your uneven canopy is going to lower you yield. First time I’ve seen white walls like yours.
I'm in that boat now as well. I really wish I had the mental capacity to wrap my head around proper training a few weeks ago....it's not like on a site dedicated to plant care or anything haha.

I could have had my plant level and 6" shorter...

You a new grower?
New in a sense. New as an indoor grower. I've just somehow managed to fluke photos outdoors over the last few years. Didn't realise it was so involved, indoors or outdoors.

I managed to pull 1.3kg off 5 plants last year, and lost one to mould and the year before was 500g over two plants. Just kinda planted bag seed and all 8 were female, and ended up 5-6 ft.

First time actually taking it seriously and going above watering with a hose here and there and using the odd kelp extract. Too put it simply, I thought training was tying the top sideways so it didn't go above the fence.

So you didn’t top yet correct? Do you have a pic of where on plant that you have in your sites.

The one going on six weeks tomorrow was topped, but I didn't know what I was doing, fimmed by accident after the third node and it and ended up with a bunch of heads. Tried to even them out but didn't realise how quickly they come back up, and how random the shoots are.

Some of the inner shoots off the bottom branches are far longer then the actual branches...and have ended up as the top cola somehow.....

Awesome, looking forward to seeing how this tuns out. Osmocote isnt a great mix so it will be interesting.
