What's up y'all

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I'm getting into hydroponics as a hobby, mostly growing fruits and vegetables. I really like DIY projects, especially when you can save a lot of money over commercial options.

A big part of how I learned about hydroponics came from information here and on 420mag, so I figured it would be a good idea to sign up and share some info even though I'm not growing weed atm.

I personally don't see anything wrong with cannabis, especially considering that alcohol is legal and more destructive to society. But I really don't like indica at all and I have a few other constraints that keep me from growing for another 7 or 8 years.

So far I've got 2 DIY ebb-flow systems on my patio growing roma tomatoes and serrano peppers, an outdoor hempy bucket growing a small key lime tree, and an indoor hempy bucket variant growing romaine lettuce under a 50W HPS light I put together for $35 with parts from home depot.

I want to learn how to mix my own nutrient solutions from bulk chemicals and my next project is going to be a floating DWC setup for more lettuce.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum! Hows the hempy buckets going? Im trying my first hempy buckets and things are going great so far.

welcome to rollitup!!! good luck!

The hempy's are good so far. The indoor lettuce variant is a sterilite box with 4:1 perlite:vermiculite mix with a hole 2" from the bottom. I went with a longer box instead of a bucket so I could have more surface area. I'll post pics soon.

The outdoor hempy with the lime tree has only been there for a couple days - I bought it in a 6" soil pot and transplanted it, but it seems to be doing fine so far.
