I got tired of the new soil so I just transplanted the plants to bigger pots. These are approx 4 gallons. I changed back to soilless grow mix by jiffy-mix. I left the runt out because I don't think it will need it for a while. Changing to bigger pots made me adjust my settup. Here are pics of what it looks like currently.

Title says it all. I'm just throwing around the idea of going hydro. I plan on using Ebb and Flow (flood and drain). I have a pretty good understanding of how it works.

Would like it to look similar to when completed.

My mothers (assuming I get a fem) would still stay in soil, I would just put the clones in hydro.

The problem is that there isn't a hydro store where I live :cry:, which means I don't have local access to: hydro nutes, hydro growing medium and the correct reservoir and trough.

The main difference that I see from soil nutes to hydro nutes is that the soil nutes seem to be stronger than the hydro nutes. The only nutes that I have available to me are MG and cheap crap (i guess they may be one and the same). Would I be able to use soil nutes in replace of hydro nutes if I dilute it?

Also, I've read that rubbermaid containers aren't that great for hyrdo. Again, I don't live near a hydro store, so where would I pickup an acceptable reservoir and trough at? I live close to nationwide stores like Lowes, Menards, Earlmay and Wal*Mart

For a grow medium I was thinking about using perlite, as it is
readily available. I think Earlmay might have some clay pellets. Which would be better and how many times, and how long each time, would I have to water my plants with those grow mediums?

Thank you for any input :cool:

Well I topped them. Here are the pics. Thanks for the compliment TillthedayiDIE420!

A1 Misty Topped


D1 Misty Topped


D1 Misty Topped, close up at topped area


I thought about saving the tops for cloning purposes, but I'm just not setup for clones, and I can't wait any longer to top.

for a cfl grow you definitly don't want to get to tall, that's alot of time wasted, rooting a clone and flowering it for the sex will take 3 weeks or more.. maybe 2 if your lucky..

i'm only using those cfls right now for supplemental lighting, there's a 400w hps above them. once i get the clones the cfls will be used to get the clones used to the lights (and for flowering the clones to determine sex) then moved uner the hps. the cfls will then be used on the mothers to maintain size and help slow growth while the clones are under the hps.

Plants are now 40 days old. Here are the most current pics. Also, I've decided tomorrow i'm going to get clones from them, I've included pictures of where i intend to cut and obtain clones at.


A1 Misty


Where I will obtain clones from A1


D1 Misty


Where I will obtain clones from D1
