Hey peeps this is yet another grow of mine..I've had about four crop outs since I've started growing. If you look at my other thread you will see my GDP grow that I got robbed of due to my dads stupid gf. Well she's gone now so its spring time here lol..This is a 6 Plant Grow with half of them are some really good purp bag seed that I have grown before with a heavy yield. The other three were some crazy crystal purple grand daddy purp..these ones are the more bushy ones. All but two are in 3.5 gallon buckets stacked on one another. The top one being filled with soil and holes drilled into the bottom for drainage. The second bucket only serves to catch the run-off and expand the root area. The other two are in the same setup except with 5 gallon buckets..I plan on switching to 12/12 when my clones start rooting so I can continue the strains..I know there is a lot of competition on T5s and HPS lighting but I am doing both veg and flower with this lighting setup..after cut I will get setup a flower room and will get a HPS 600 watt. I did have all these setup on drippers gravity fed from a 5 gallon but due to complications of mobility I took them off and am back to hand watering.

For Nutrients I am using General Hydroponics MaxiGro and Humboldt County's Bloom..with the molasses as an additive.

Lights like stated in title and above are a 8 Bulb 4ft T5 High Output setup.

Soil is Gorilla Grow Vegetable/ Shrub mix- as I have tried so many and this seems to be my favorite with the nutes I use.

Sorry Guys About the pics ill get some up tomorrow...I just fed the babies, and emptied the runoff into gallon jugs for the veggie garden...everything is starting to really explode..I still need to get another 3.5 gallon bucket for one of them and drill the holes for runoff so it can release the water building up in the bucket. I've got about 7 cuttings that I'm waiting for roots to grow on.

I have a bubble cloner I made out of a very small plastic container it holds about a quart of water and the root shooters fit in it...or just keep doing what I'm doing with the humidity dome..OPINIONS PLEASE!

Hey fellow Rollituppers.......whew I've been busy...I built a seperate veg cabinet for the clones. I started getting roots about three days from my last post and put the ones with roots in my homemade bubble cloner and within two days they were so long I had to transplant them so they are in my veg cab with two two foot flos in a 1.5 liter pot. I have transplanted 4 of them and tomorrow I will do two more. I just put the six big girls into flower. They are so big with the oldest maxing out my light so I tied it down to give it some room. The others are almost just as big but with enough room to stretch a little ..........some good news tho is the clones I took were from two of the biggest healthiest ones and both of them are females with 5 of the six are ladies with the last one its still not showing quite yet....soo my plan is to veg for 60 days while the veg room goes for 60 days and take about 24 clones and switch the veg into flower when its chopping time and run this constantly. And by next grow I will put some nice intake and exhaust fans along with a 600w hps in there!!!

TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS/GIRLS THINK!

P.s- ill get some pics up in the next day or so..there from 5/9 and 5/26 wait till you see my growth.

Haha yea I'm posting pics, its a pain in the ass cause I live in a rural area where there is nothing but dial up...and on top of that I just had to be mr. Mechanic on my car and fix some ball joints lol...

And yea buddy ill be vegging that long just cause the cab I made only has two little two footers of the T8s so there isn't that much light for them...but I guarentee that you'll be more than happy to see the flowering under the 8 bulb 4ft T5 ...figuring 8bulbsx54 watts=432 watts soo idk if that's how much its using but I would bet I could give a 400hps a fun for its money, without all that heat.. Ahhhh its driving me nuts not being able to post these pics....I want to share them with all my fellow rolitup followers so they too can see what I'm doing with these T5s..
