Hello everyone- I'm NEW!

Greetings everyone! After about a month of trying to make an account, I gave up thinking that I could never make an account here. However, today I looked for shits and giggles and WHA-LA! I noticed that rollitup changed the way you register your account and immediately created this. Success! bongsmilie

My husband (Sciεncε) was bugging me to make an account here to gain some useful knowledge about growing, and I went on his account to just skim through some of the posts to see what it's all about. I'm very happy with making an account and hopefully I will gain even MORE knowledge than ever here :lol:

Anyway, I figure I'll let you all know what I am about! I'm a happily married woman and a woman who likes to toke... often!

My husband and I are currently playing around with a home-grown hydroponic hempy-bucket setup! By the way, without this website, my hubby and I would be stuck on google all night researching about growing, this is where we actually got most of our knowledge on growing at! So, a big THANKS! to all of you! Our two lonesome females, however actually flowering right now (I do not know how long... I never wrote down the exact day we planted...). We started off with a few more, however sadly, they were males and we reluctantly plucked them. The beautiful babes are coming along nicely! :lol:

We have our two lonesome babes underneath 2 CFLs that are 55 WATTS each. We understand that this is not the IDEAL way to go... but quite affordable! On top of the lights, the small closet space is wrapped in mylar and we have a small glass jar that has some water in it to help the humidity. We do not have a temperature reader, but from what I feel walking in there, it is fairly warm. Not too dry, not too humid, not too hot, not too cold, just right! Also, we have a small fan that we purchased from a dollar store in there that isn't that strong, but it still moves the plants around healthily.

On top of all this, we use a nutrient solution that uses 1.5 TBSP per GAL. of tap water (I always like to air out the water jug prior to watering as I like to think it evaporates all of the unwanted substances in it...) and we water them roughly every two days, especially since they are in flower, they seem to suck up the solution rather quickly as their leaves perk up to the light aggressively.



Thats me and my grow! Please- ANY input at all is GREATLY appreciated!

Welcome to riu...you could always start a grow journal? ....or a thread if you have any difficulties with your girls, if not imo just start a journal!...that way you can do whatever you like there talk about whats going on,with your grow/post pics/log info.... and people will chime in if you need help too! threads are ok... but can get crazy sometimes, and a journal is better to keep some of the useless posts out of thread ;) threads are if you have a specific question , but a journal would be better! ....journals are all about your grow/setup/nutes ideas anything really...well ill stop rambling now... good luck, im sure i'll see yah around. keep em green.

Thanks! Great idea, lime- I will start a journal matter o' fact! I have had a written journal that I labeled "My Cannabis Tracker" tehe! However, I abandoned it... I s'pose it's never too late to pick it up again. Haha. I like the online-journal idea though.

And thanks Derple! It is a happy grow ;)

yes you do...haha

you should also start your grow journal in the grow forum...grow journals...this one gets posted on main forums...you just started a log journal which is just attached to your profile not on the forums.....but still cool either way, just have to get the word out there ;)

Hi Im New As well .. I have what i think is a pretty sweet setup and I was wondering if i should add a vertical light..and a Halide at that? and hows the best way I should do it? As i said noob.. so be gentle.

Room: 4x6 tent
Lights: 2-6in AC xtra sun reflectors w/glass w/ 2-600w HPS bulbs with a 6in 435 CFM fan exhaust all inline straight through the tent

Intake: 6in 435CFM outside blowing in w/ carbon mesh screen on 24hrs

Exhaust: 4" 190CFM fan w/ 4x12 carbon filter on 5mins off 5mins off cycle timer

System 1 & 2: 2- aeroponic posts, 4- 3" net pots in each post..each w/ 590gph and micro diffuser in res (6gallon), 1/2in pvc pipes run inside post with ez-clone sprays throughout, runs 24hrs. also 2-4ft long air difuser (ropes) run throughout posts

System 3: 5 gallon res over a 3 1/2 gallon control bucket feeding 4- 2 gallon bubbleponic buckets each with a 3" net

So im looking to make any of this better..any thoughts? I currently have no CO2.. was looking into green bags.. or this bucket i keep seeing at the shops..

You've got a badass setup, thats literally my ideal way that I want to grow, possibly after this harvest I can invest in an aeroponic/bubbleponic setup. You have my dream grow room. I envy that. Lol!
