*saving ventallation and co2 for tommorw, sub if you want*

My plan is to hydroponic:confused:ally grow 8 different strands of cannabis for medical patients; while keeping things stealth. Possibly only topping once. My hope is to let them grow tall. My strain list is, Black Pearl, Monster Bud, Super Bud, Cluster Bomb, Avalanche, Brainwreck, Purple Cindy, Purple Diesel.

Okay thats all the time to post I have for the night. I'm going to upload some pics, finish this bowl, and play gears of war. :peace:

look into upgrading that reflector.. a nice one like the sun master XXL will give way more light distribution resulting in a dramatic increase in available light to your plants

I got that one as part of a 'deal'. I plan on upgrading after the plants are already growing, maybe three weeks into veg ($$$).

with all of them in the same tub... and one has problems like nute burn... then its gonna be hard to regulate its feeding and not affect the others.

oh yah, very smart having only four sites.. you will find it still becomes very crowded(if everything goes right) with 4 per res
 
Can i just veg and flower with my 1000w hps bulb and i am thinking of switching my plants from soil to a bubbleponics system is this possible:wall:

dont hijack threads man, outta respect for other members. start your own and plenty of people will help you... btw, it depends on how old the plants are transfering,, better when youger.. and yes HPS is fine for both veg and flowering

This is my first grow period. I was planning on going soil till I got to roseman's profile and look at all his posts.

I know a guy that has a similar setup but its two per smaller tub. He uses nets that hang from his pots that go down to the bottom and serve as a sort of root sack in a wool type material. He has been doing it for 4 harvests and said it contains the roots so that they aren't growing together and it doesn't get crowded. I got a peek at it as he was harvesting and he ended up not needing to separate roots and changing the water was easy. The plant and roots picked up all as one. EDIT: more to come on this, I have them around I'm just waiting for my seeds

The hps should be fine for veg, just dont let things get to hot, don't put it to close, the hps is perfect for flowering; a better way to go would be to get a MH conversion bulb for your veg (it works with your hps ballast)

for more info i suggest finding other grows with similar setups and gaining tips from them.
