We have enjoyed the wealth of information here and would like to show our grow. This is Trevor´s first grow and my second. My first grow was a 4 plant soil operation that went alright. A close friend of our´s was moving so we decided to buy his aeroflo14 off him. He also agreed to give us clones before he left. The grow is in a bureau closet of sorts that was built into the room. We had to cut out a board that divided the closet and drill a hole near the top for the exhaust. We have two 400w MHs. He gave us 6 Ak47s and 8 Chronic all from two mother plants he chopped down. This will be a one time grow because we will be graduating in about 6 months so we are potting all the sites hoping to provide enough bud for us for quite some time. Considering we probably spend between us 400 a month on herb this should pay for itself the first month.
These plants have been through a lot! We got the clones earlier than expected and had to scramble to get things together. They spent about 6 hours in a box during what would have been a light cycle. On top of that we were still waiting for delivery of hydroton, a Ruck fan and carbon filter, ph and ec meter, ph down, and comp fans. So the clones sat in the net pots in the small rockwool cubes for two days. I should also mention that when we got the clones they weren´t looking that great. Some of the leaves had been cut in half and others were brown and curling.
So the clones have now been stationed in the proper hydroton for about five days. They are growing quickly. Many of the older leaves are yellow but the new growth looks green. Just the PH fluctuation alone during that time could have locked some nutrients out. We want to do a short veg to keep them fairly short.
We are using Flora Series nutrients at the levels recommended on the bottle right now. We have a 375 ruck exhausting to a carbon filter that sits on a high shelf of an enclosed adjacent bureau. We have two PC type fans on each end currently blowing at mid stalk level on the plants. I´m thinking about raising the ran to blow across the tops of the plants. I also have a third fan but I´m not sure where to put it. I was thinking under the posts in the center blowing up. We lined the walls with this white sheeting stuff from the online hydro show because painted was not an option.
Our main current problem is that I ordered the wrong EC calibration solution for the EC meter and it wasn´t factory calibrated so we have not been able to check the PPM. We have topped up 5l of water twice during the week with no nutes added in. The reservoir was fills to about 30l. We are going to flush out the tank tomorrow, day 8 and add fresh nutes. Still have finishing work today and Trevor is relieved that he doesn´t have to keep eating chips to cover the walls with Mylar.
day 1 just sitting in small rockwool cubes
today (day8 ), the photos are terrible. i think I need t)o get in and take pics just after the lights go off and just turn on the normal lights in the room.

I spend a good part of my day just looking at them.
