6 purple haze + 6 white widow in flood and drain system

this is 24 hours after i planted my clones. how do you think they look? i just added nutrients about 4 hours ago so im hoping in the next couple days they will be fully green and ill see some growth in the stalk vertically.

im doing a flood and drain, currently flooding 6 times a day, 30 mins each time, but it still seems like the hydroton drys out faster then it waters, but the jiffy pots the roots are in are nice and moist still...is that okay? they are under a 600w hps with a 6" inline fan cooling and venting the room/light

i have a custom made light bar out of PVC, holding the 600w up above, and it has 6 cfls around the perimiter of my table. im using HPS up above for the whole time, and will then add 6500k spectrem cfls to get red and blue spectrum...approx. 6-7 weeks of veg and 8-10 weeks for flower.

i will be adding an air conditioner the last week of flowering to make the purple pop extra!

im going with some BC grow and BC boost right now for veg and will run BC boost and BC bloom in flowering.

i also have 6 white widow going in, in about a week. im waiting til' the W.W. clones are nice and rooted so i can introduce them right in to the nutrients the purps are getting now.


please any comments or anything? any help would greatly appreciate it. im a new 21 year old grower with my medical card and noticed that RIU has some great knowledge.

no love here?

It's been 14 hours on nutes and no sign of them turning around. I'm so anxious

here is a few of the setup im running now. i have a 4x4 table that i will be using instead of the dog pool when the other 6 w.w. go in....or when they need the room. that table was just easy to manuevur since its my first time and ive had it off 30 times

what kind of filter are you useing for your air? it looks like you are grabing air from the bottom of your room, so just wondering if that is a filter down there.

im not sure on brand, bought it at the local hydro shop. its a 45lb carbon filter, omits a mountain fresh aroma

the tent is pretty sealed, and all 4 sides are sucking in from negative pressure so i assume it being on the floor is okay..

Looks good bro, do you have a fresh air intake? Just asking cus you said your tent has negative pressure, maybe get some fresh air vents.

I don't have inlet fans but do have inlet vents. Thanks man trying to get some flame from my first rodeo...


Love the name...

if your heat is ever becoming an issue you can always add a cheap 4" inline fan, it will still keep the negative pressure, but it will get cool air into your tent faster.

here is some updated pics.

2 of the girls took off great. 2 of them not so much. and 2 of them hardly at all. im so unsure why this is. so i still havent introduced the w.w. into the mix. here is some updated pix.

im running 20/4 lighting and my ppm is around 1350. and ph is right at 5.6

Where's all my detroit love???;


Those are 300 watt cfls. And i upped my feeding. Flood for thirty minutes the dry for thirty then flood again. It just looks like they want more nutes

300w of cfls?? thats alot
i just ordered some purple haze from g13 labs so im interested how yours will look
im gunna have mine under cfls for veg than throw em outside in the florida heat to finish
good luck on ya grow bro

hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like you have some type of nutrient problem on those plants that are green in the middle of the leaf but yellow on the outside, might want to look at lowering the PPM of your solution. what kind of water are you using?

yea they are some powerful cfls. i actually lowered my ppm to 6-700 and they are liking it alot more. i believe its been a nutrient problem all along. all is well though! heres a few of the yellow problem im having

interesting setup you got there.

lol did you mean the dog pool as my flood table?

or the 600 hps up top and 6-300w cfls clamped to the side of the pool

lovin the setup man, you definitely got enough lights for a BIG yield

lets see some pix!!! are you going to drop temps to try and get a more purple hue?

set up looks awesome bro!!! how the purple haze coming along????
