1st Bubble Bucket Grow

[RobsGreen]

I was boarded so I thought I would post my current bubble bucket grow. I've attempted 2 other grows, both in soil and neither worked out, this way is a lot more promising.

The day the first leaves showed I moved them into there 5g home, they sit in a 5" net pot filled with hytron pebbles. I manually watered them for about 8 days until roots hit the water. I use the Lucas formula for feeding, it uses Hydroponics Flora Micro and Bloom. 8ml of micro and 16ml of bloom per gallon of water. That's running the formula at full strength, on a PPM meter it would read about 1330ppm at @ .7 conversion. I use RO water and adjust the PH level to 5.6.

Here's what there being grown in. The temp stays at 75 degrees when light is on and 70 degrees when light is out. Humidity was 20% for first 4 weeks and since flowering it has jumped to 30% lights on and 75% lights off, I'll be running the exhaust fan more at lights off to bring it down. Well here's the good stuff, pics. I have 2 plants going, first pic of the day is plant #1, 2nd pic is #2.



Day 1, Nov 15/07, 3 seeds put in paper towel

Day 3: Vegged under 200w 6500k CFL bulb at 24hrs a day


Day 6: Nutes start at 720ppm, about half strength.


Day 7




Day 8




Day 9




Day 14




Day 15




Day 17




Day 19




Day 20




Day 21




Day 22






Day 23: Changed nutrients, at this point I only had to add 3 cups of water to each bucket, when I changed them they were at 750ppm, actually higher then when I started. I set new nutrients for plant #1 to 943ppm and plant #2 was set to 1141ppm. I wanted to see what they could handle. Turns out 1141ppm was too much and did some burning, plant #1 did well at 943ppm.

Day 24




Day 29




Day 32: Switched to flowering, running under 250w HPS




Day 33


Day 37




Day 38: Changed nutrients, this time I added 17 cups of water to each bucket before the change, when I changed them they were down to 650ppm. There both at 1150ppm this time.

It sure does, I can't imagine what they will look like in 50 more days.
