ok folks this is my first attempt at hydroponics. ive been growing soil now for a year now and been happy with my grows. i grow indoor and outdoor and have grown some fine medicine ive seen the yields and rapid growth that hydro offers so i figured id give it a go. so anyways i got a bucket kit for $40. it came with the bucket, air stone, blue tubing, grow stones, rockwool plugs and a 44gph air pump. i went to the hydro store and talked to the guy about nutes and he sold me the botanicare kind 3 part nutrient system. the strain ive chosen is blue venom from G13 labs. im using ph balanced distilled water with no nutes right now. she hasnt poped through the plug yet but hopefully shell make an appearance in the next day or 2. i ordered a 20 dollar ppm meter and it should get here by the end of the week. im thinking when i get my taxes back and my students loans ill spend the money and get the blue lab pens but for now this one should do the job. res temps are sitting around 62-64 right now. i would like it to be a bit higher but for now thats where it sits. not a whole lot its in my closet right now under four 2ft t5s its sharing its light with a mazar plant that is about to be moved to her new permanent home in the grow tent under HID lights next week. once BV is old enough, she too will be moved into the tent where i can better control res temps. no pics yet. nothin to see. as soon as she sprouts ill toss up a couple jpegs.
