I am sure you old growers (been growing for a long time, not old age) get sick of us newbies who post everyday "look, a new leaf". LOL.
Sorry, but i fall into this category as I have been waiting for over 40 years to get back to growing (and soon consuming) weed. I am astonded on how fast the hydro system grows. Today is day #61 in the grow. Here are this mornings pics to bore you

Yeah the growth can be quite supprising when conditions are right... with hydro you can really dial things in, so even if things arn't perfect 100% of the time, they can be very very good for most of the time which maked a big difference.

@futurebanjo agreed. In my opinion it's the cats sass. When I retire I might try a summer outdoor grow at my cabin, but don't think I will try soil growing.. never say never, but now that I've laid out the cash for a hydro grow I don't plan to go backwards. Jmo

Yeh its expensive to set up initially, and theres a lot to learn, but if you do it right, your really set yp well then. it's soo much worth the money and set-up effort.

"get sick of us newbies who post everyday "look, a new leaf". LOL. "

Well yeah, no one really cares to look at ten new pics of immature flowers every day! but I get you, it's exciting.

Once you get to know your system, you don't even need to check on them every day aside from a quick peek ...you'll just know if things are in order or not, like a 6th sense....I only check and balance my water/feed about once every 4 or 5 days as you just get a feel for it after a while.

Looking good though... really healthy!!

@futurebanjo thanks.. I am really stoked. I know there's nothing for you experienced growers to see in my grow pics yet, but I like to keep posting hoping to strike up a conversation like this. No post, no conversation. Just might meet someone who can help me out with knowledge in my time of need should something come up. Jmo

True, I wasn't trying to be a downer! Ive grown a fair bit in soil before but I'm only on my 2nd go on DWC so I'm by no means experienced, I'm still very much learning and it's certainly a learning curve!

Good luck!

@futurebanjo it's all good. I'm sure I will post a lot less on my next grow. I've been waiting over 40 years to be able to grow & consume, so I'm pretty excited. To say the least.

I hope you tried some weed first:) What if you don't like it much. I didn't like weed at all when I tried it in my 20's.
Now I kind of like it, but need it for pain more than anything. I would rather have a drink though. But alcohol and inflammation.

I was a major pot head till I got a job mid 80's that required drug testing. I have not so patiently been waiting all this time..

Your training technique looks good, earlier on...I might steal that idea next ime around!
So the velcro ties are not anchored to the pot, just to stiff wire braces?

Yes. I might buy some more next time & leave them 24" long instead of cutting them in half. Worked well.

One of my plants went Herm on me. First day I noticed. Bummer.
