Hey guys. This is my first grow and the setup like it says on the title was very poorly put together. But now I learned and I'm ready for more. My setup started with 6 clones in 1 gallon Smart Pots. Filled with Hydroton and planted in RockWool. I hand watered these plants during all stages. I dipped them once a day in a reservoir, even in the flowering stage. It was a lot of work with a lot of backaches. Here's some hand picked photos to tell the story.

Hell yea man looks like even though you cut a few corners you understood how to maintain a good enough environment to get a good harvest. Is that OG you were growing? If so which cut and why the "OGK1". Any OG is a good choice and that stuff looks great. Most importantly what size bulb did you use?

Peace,

Yes it's OG. I don't know which cross exactly but I got it from a local clinic. I put OG K 1 because its to determine which plant it came off from because I had several OG's. I was going with 12 plants inside a 4x4x7 tent with 1 600w hps and 1 400w hps.

Totally go full Hydroponic. I was watering once a day with my nutrients that I've spent so much on and all that excess water and nutrient I just tossed away. I want to go full DWC. After I get rid of everything I plan to buy the Current Culture found here : http://www.thehydrosource.com/TraysReservoirsGrow_Systems/Current_Culture_H2O?zenid=al2f4vhl6b1sjltmg37ji83qi0 .. Definitely I would be more clean with everything. Get a TDS meter. Save my back from any more pain.

I was advised to stay away from DWC until I had several grows under my belt. That looks like a sweet set-up but the prices are just plain insulting. $900 for a 6 buckets some tubes and two pumps? Nigga' Pah-lease. Check out various part suppliers, you can buy all that gear at a FRACTION of the cost. Check out flexpvc.com they have a bunch of awesome fittings. AT any rate, nice looking nugs!

Cheers,
Brian

There's the last plant missing in these pictures. The biggest of them all. I had filled 12 jars before cutting down the last one.

As far as DWC goes.. I have a turbogarden from botanicare. I have done a good job at keeping good PPM's and PH.

I haven't had a single soil grow under my belt. But are in flowering right now at day 35. Very easy to do. Water once every few days.
