Hi everyone, I'm a fairly experienced grower by now and I have a few friends of mine who are interested in learning. I'm just started my first grow since 2015 and I'm going to journal it for my friends/protégé, and if you're looking to follow an NFT sea of green (at least the first few runs...

I bought 2 gallon buckets from lowes, and since my local hydro stores (there are 3 in driving distance) don't sell anything but regular horticultural perlite, I'm using hydroton on the bottom and coco on the top... I started 13 seeds in grodan blocks two days ago (see previous post above) the...

Hi RIU, I'm germinating about a dozen seeds right now... 5 HSO Blue Dream, 5 Green House Seeds White Widow, 1 Dinafem Blue Hash, 1 Dinafem Super Silver. I'm planning on making a single mother from the BD seeds, another from the White Widows, and depending on what I think of the other two seeds...

My DWC "buckets" were actually 27 gallon totes I bought from Lowe's (link here: http://www.lowes.com/pd_44066-61896-44066_0__?Ntt=27+gallon+tote&UserSearch=27+gallon+tote&productId=3551290&rpp=32#noop) Each bucket had two air stones, and a pump (for doing nute changes without removing the plant...

Also, I'm using 5" x 5" fence posts... not the 4x4's

I tried to DIY a flood/drain table last year. It didn't work out right.... First, I needed 4 reservoirs to keep up with the four flood containers.... The first three reservoirs were for feeding, the last for flushing before harvest... So that's really 3x the pH balancing, 3x the nute changes...

I've done two grows, both DWC and I did exactly what you did... I know it can drive you nuts waiting for those roots to pop out of the net pot, but you're right, once they do, it's on like Donkey Kong. What nutes/strength are you using though? Not to be super critical, but I've seen better...

Oh no! I didn't mean to post this thread in this topic section... Please don't crush me with criticism... If I could move this post, I would :(

Ok, simple question. I had three very big girls in flower. One of them hermied somewhere, though even through harvest, I couldn't find a single pollen sac on any of them. Well, now I have 22 oz. of airy, seedy buds... 1. What are the viability of the seeds my girls produced? 2. Are they...

Hey everyone, I've been absent from the site for a while... Kinda reeling after my last grow. I had three plants going in DWC + SCROG: It was working like a charm. I outfitted each reservoir with a a 10" bucket lid net pot, two 5" air stones, water level indicator, and a 250gph submersible...

An even later response... Like 5 Years! Monitoring pH is more thanks just nutrient uptake/lockout... PH can tell you all sorts of things about your plant and system... Ph flux can indicate mold, fungus, that your ambient temperature is too high or low, and what your plants are lacking or are...

Just felt like posting a few pics... Things are going very well I think... Two of my ladies are going brown hair... The other is just starting to turn... Won't be long now.

They stretched a MILE... Way more than last time I grew this same strain... I have colas almost 30 inches tall now... I'll take some pics tonight...

During veg they were really fruity... Now the spicy haze scent is taking over... Real thick odor... Love it..

I know soil gives your that "buffer" but it also let's you be sloppy... Hydro forces you to stay focused... I check on my girls once per day... I adjust pH and empty out my dehumidifier... When the tanks get low, I refill and re- pH them with tap water. Once per week I drain my tanks and give...

Well, things are going well... I'm still dealing with some atmospheric stuff, but I think I'll be ok... I had to swap out the AC unit for the dehumidifier (I think I mentioned that) because the AC unit just didn't seem to be worth it's salt. The dehumidifier is struggling to keep up and humidity...

Might as well post a quick update.... My phone died last night while taking pics... It was only after my phone died that I noticed the first pistils coming in... I've been in flower for a little over a week now. My ladies are taking up anywhere from 1.5 - 2.0 gallons per day, which makes...

Looking good man... I topped my ladies once each with plans to do at least a second round, but I didn't need to. They grew so fast, I put the screen up before I could have topped them again. Yea, I have no complaints about the HSO blue dream.... I know some people scoff at HSO for not being the...

I'm not paying as much attention to ppm this grow as I did last time... Knowing the strain and the method of growing, I know that if I follow the Gen. Hydro 3-part flora series formula, I get good results. During veg, I used the 1/4 strength formula from newly-sprouted seedling until the first...

I flipped the lights about 6 nights ago... Time for the streeeetch! I was about 2/3 full on my screen when I flipped them... I'm praying the stretch is about over in the next day or two... I'm out of room on the screen!!! It smells like fruity pebbles in there and I can't wait to see the field...
