Hey All, I live in California, and have a state issued medical card. Any information contained is considered for informational purposes only. Thanks, I appreciate all input and feedback, just be cool, I have a temper, so i need all the help I can get and will try to share as much of the results as I can remember.
After successfully bringing one potted plant to bloom and even resulting in some decent smoke after, I invested in a complete bubbleponics, $330, from some stragglers in my drawer I managed 5 of 6 strong starters, germed and potted them, as my kit had not arrived yet, built a box, fans lights from my single soil grow, resulting in 5 seedlings in 1 week
Read as much as my cells could take and knew it all. right.
Week 2 18/6 xplant to system, tank broke upon arrival, made new tank lying around LARGER, oops (before you make the same mistake I did, Keep roots close to water level) switched wk 5, Good roots on all xplanted straight into hydroton,Gamma
Beta
after one week, heat issues, circulation issue, CFL standard at 80-90 degrees enclosed. Added more vent, directly on res, and exhuast on top, switched fans to 6inch computer vent fans running on PS from puter. wk 4, constant temp 88 up top, 75 res H2o
Week 3 18/6 developing constant ph probs, adding every day to drop, Invested in more hydroton, ph meter, tds, $50. slime, pyth, OMG... Freaking read the internet, was referred to site. Cleaned system way better than wk 2, trimmed and sterilized with H2O2
Week 4, 18/6 plants yellowing but growing, no info on nutes/mics from kit, made blood meal tea, daily control of ph, and hoped. Lst during this week, some dead trim, broke epsilon, closed and bandaged with tape, hated me since but growing, added new air pump, xtra stone $60., Ordered new GH nutes/mic,$50. So much freaking reading...
Week 5 18/6 H2O 5hrs on/30 min off. Was gone 5 days and they blew up, grew and yellowed badly, ph was off dips, and my new meter said 8ish, TDS low 200, and they did not recover well from bending, slime back,changed container $5, cleaned and trimmed roots again, but deciding that I didn't treat them badly enough so I topped them . End of week nutes showed, changed to direction on bottle, add 1 fl oz blood meal tea daily "120 ppm" after changing res, ph adjustment almost nil. and TDS 750-800 ppm after tea.
Week 6,18/6 H2O 5hrs on/30 min off, scrogged grow, new GH nutes/ mics shows results, gamma and charlie dominant and somewhat healthy
Have taken 2 clones beta/gamma for early sexing
and will c from there. Total spent on medication $1500, total spent on grow about $600.. and still reading but at least had time to write this, not going to xfer my specific notes.
