  1. Hey whats up GC just wanted to share my grow with the community, advice is greatly appreciated thank you in advance.

    Well on to the show
    My set up is 2 5Gal buckets one sour plant and a unknown strain
    Im working with 5 25w cfls until i get my 300w led light today. My nutes are the General hydroponics flora series i have the lucus formula going at this time. Ill post pics that i have collected from the last 4 weeks hope i can get sum advice on things i should do or if im on the right track. The bigger plant is the sour the other is the random i have topped both plants once

  2. Good morning GoldenNugz. You're plants are really looking great. You've obviously got things rolling along nicely. The only thing I saw in those pics that I would comment on is the tin foil you had wrapped under the base of one of the smaller seedlings....I'm sure it's gone now, but the stuff's reflectivity isn't worth your time. I think I understand what you were trying to do by placing it there, but from what I've read all over the forums, the foil is totally ineffective. Mylar or Panda film do the trick if you're trying to reflect the light back up under the plant. No big deal regardless. Keep up the good work and let us know how they are progressing. TWW

     
  3. Thanks TWW im glad to hear someone elses opinion on how im doing this is my first hydro growand was just wondering how it was going. Thank you very much. Ive already got rid of the foil i wish that was the reason i put the foil there but it was to keep the rockwool from growing mold but i do plan on getting sum type of cover so i can stop the light leaking into my bucket. I really appreciate the time you took to give me a helping hand. I sure will keep the community informed and prob keep the questions coming in if i cant find a soulution on the forms.
     
  4. Nice start NUGzz, here's what I did about covers, mostly because of heat on the net pots, cardboard and some aluminum tape, and they remove easy.

  7. Soo i have to say my girls are loving her sum led she seems so up. It will take some time before i really see what the led is working with but i can say it added a lil heat to my room about 5 degrees bumping it up to the 80's but i hear sour loves a lil heat. i also started training her to try and even out the canopy plan to scrog in the near future.
    I used fishing weights to way down my branches for training
    Lmk what you think
