I grew a Big Bang last year using aquaponics.I had one plant in 5 gallon bucket with another 5 gallon bucket with guppies. It works fine during veg but the fish do not have the right nutes for flowering so once the plant is flowering you gotta switch to hydro.

Don't get me wrong here, I know a guy here who has a HUGE aquaponics setup for produce!! Google HATponics. I just don't like Tilapia!! BLEEAAH!!! Now Bass, Bluegill or Crappie and we're talking!!! Hell, even Oscars!!! Yep they're tasty.
 
Damn man congrats!!! They look so good. I'm on my way back into town, didnt have internet for a few. Can't wait to see what mine look like been 3 total since I've seen them.

Thanks dude! I'm super happy especially from the greenhouse.3 days you must be dying to see them! Try to post some pics
 
I know green house looks sweet! Considering you weren't sure it was gonna work. And yeah I'm so excited about an hour out, and there will be pics most definitely !! Hope they didn't decide to stop growing while I was gonna lol
 
Didn't get any pics up last night.. They actually couldn't hold out on the transplanting, and drank all the water the same day I left... I couldn't pull my self to take pics of them so stressed :( but ill have them this afternoon/night.
Have you ever had to water the rooftop plants you're self?

Don't bug man, ive have plants that looked really bad for over a week after transplanting and they turned out fine.I've foliar fed before for different reasons,I would for sure spray them with some water so it takes some work off the roots. I really hope they get better soon.But all this stress especially at this stage is not good for your chances of getting females.....

Spray them right before lights go off.
 
Yeah I know, it just breaks my heart to see them that way.. Atleast I have one female already, she didn't look as bad I think I over watered her this time.. Her roots aren't very strong, I had her in a 3.5 gal pot way before she should have been. It's real hard to water her because if I water her till it drains it's too much. This run was basically for me to learn all the stages, how things look, and are done. I'm hopefully going to have a stealth cab before the end of these so I can properly control them!
 
Oh yeah I sprayed them a few times yesterday, I actually noticed it did make a difference. I had one other situation similar to this one and never sprayed them. At least I got one thing outa this bad experience that I learned.
