Hey guys im not a new grower but this is my first hydroponic set up. I wanted to start a grow journal from day one but have been unable to get a camera to post pics.

I just bought a new camera so i decided to start the journal from where i was.

So its DAY 24 and my plants are lookin great the one one the left is clearly the leader but i dont know what type of bud she is. However the one on the left that is lagging a little behind is Jack. Some people dont believe me but ive seen the female and wouldnt lie about my genetics.

I wish i had started this earlier but whatever, i will be posting pics everyday from now on and i would appreciate any input anyone has big or small. Thanks in advance.

And if anyone was wondering im expecting my harvest sometime in march

thanks dude i appreciate it . . .

i forgot to ask before in my original post if anyone can see the younger leaves of the pot plant on the left side have leaves with 9 spades. I thought that the mature leaves only go up to 7 spade.

i was just wondering if anyone knew what that was about.

Ive only done bio grows before and hydroponics is faster 100%. The plants ive done in bio grows have only been half this size at this stage .

The only drawback however is to do a bio grow all you need is a 20 dollar bag of soil a 2 dollar pot and a gallon of water. This set up has cost me 300 dollars already but its all worth it with these results

Im praying that these plants are female and from there i will clone them but for now these are my only 2 babies.

Hey guy, plants are lookin good, nice job!

Is that straight hydroton in those buckets? It would be a big help if you could explain those.

Thanks bro:smoke:

Well first i started off the plants in small rockwool cubes then when they were bigger i put them into the larger rockwool cubes. Once the roots outgrew those cubes at about week 2 i put them into these 5 gallon buckets with hydroton.

If anyone wants to learn how to grow hydroponically there is a video on the internet i found it on youtube called how to grow green. Where the guy running the video is actually painted green. I never grew hydro before and i watched his video and ive been doing exactly what he said reffering back to the video whenever i needed help and its been very helpful.

DAY 25 Well today there really wasnt any sign of growth and i originally
wasnt goin to post anything but then i saw my first problem .

The picture is a little hard to see but if you can see the leave tips on the plant on the right are starting to turn a little yellow.

I checked the PH and its solid at about 6.2, i havent changed the nutrients since about to weeks ago and i havent seen problems until now so i doubt its nute burn. I measured the distance between lights and the plant and thats right to .

So if its not Ph and its not nut burn and its not light burn can anyone help me tell what this is?

its starting to turn yellow on the leave tips i put pictures above.

but it seems no one wants so help:(

however i found a very helpful website http://www.greenmans...lant_abuse.html

this shows many pictures and gives many answers so ive come to the conclusion that is the beggining of nut burn and that i just need to keep an eye on it and if it gets worse i will flush the plants and change the nutrient solution.

if anyone disagrees and thinks it is anything else please let me know because i feel as if im talking to myself on this forum.

thanks to anyone who has responded.:D

Oh thats no biggie man, thats just a little nute burn.

I would say drop your pH a little bit if you could, but a little burn isnt bad:).

(IMO its better because anymore you would be harming the plant so your getting the MAX potential o f your nutes:smoke:)

Im gonna start working on my drip system real soon, Later brah:wave:

DAY 27 Since my plants have started to get a little nut burn its made me a little
paranoid so today i went on a full scale clean up of my grow room.

I flushed both plants with 10 gallons of water and remixed my nutrient solution. I know i probably didnt need to do all this for a little nut burn but being to careful cant hurt.

I figure that my plants arent doing that bad though because there is so much growth everyday.

Other than legalize it and a few others im pretty much talking to myself , so anyone who wants to join in and add any comments or suggestions ide appreciate it.
