Finally got the cabinet looking halfway decent, and got both homemade light boards hooked up so I figured I'd share my progress thus far.

All the plants look to be doing pretty well, so I transplanted them into their final containers today. 3 gallons were a little tall so I rolled them at the top and filled them with about 2 gallons worth of soil.

Currently sitting under 150w of 3000k, if the temps remain controllable I'll give them a little more light, eventually working up to 300w.

From left to right Southern Black Bananas, Vampira's, and Sour Orange Cream.

I’m very interested in knowing how to grow in hydro buckets. Nice plants man!
I've used buckets for years because [1] I don't like dirt of any kind in the living premises, nor the bugs that come with it, and [2] I've found it be the best 'lazy man's' way to grow. Uncomplicated, predictable, and [guessing] 80% of plants dig it. 5 gal buckets and lids are <$5 at Lowes. Drill a 3 inch hole to accommodate 20 oz styrofoam cups filled with hydroton, a normal drill bit size hole for the air tubing to run from an air pump to the air stone.. I use GH Flora series nutes, again, because they are simple and easy to use. A nute chart is available online to download to show mixture ratios week to week. That's about it.

I’m wondering how a Orange Tree S1 would perform in that set up

The Carla Olsans I’m running are smoking anything else in my room!!! I have Seedsman Blueberry in there and nota-rebel alien RockCandy x 91 chemdawg and the carlas are just killing it!

I ran several Orange Fruit Snax, which is half Orange Tree, with no problems, and used it to make Carla OlsOn with no problems that I recall. If you have your nutes mixed correctly, only a small % of plants will be unhappy. I used to doctor those, but as a lazy grower with lots of seeds, I usually toss the few troublemakers.

This is Carla OlsOn, btw :)

See you've started using beastie blooms, it's easy to over do it with the boosters. I'd just use ph'd water and go for a lesser dose. You using a ppm meter?
No , I’m not using one but I have 2 of them. It’s my fault, I take them blame for trying to love them too much. So tomorrow I usual give the teas, I’m just going to give water. On Sunday morning I’m scheduled for the last feeding of beastie bloom. I guess I should only give half the dose?
