The Kush Closet

This will be my first Bubble Bucket Grow, and my first hydro... Got a modified version of rumples buckets here... instead of the PVC fill/drain i have one hole with an extra pump... i may incorporate his fill drain next time...

I have a 7.8 Liters per minute air pump for the stones, and a 245 gph pump to transfer water.

Its a 2'7 x 2'7 x 6' tent inside of a closet.

Lighting: 400 watt MH/HPS

Ventilation: 160 cfm fan with about 60 ft of ducting leading out the roof...


Seeds: Reserva Privada OG Kush and Barneys Farm Vanilla Kush

Nutes: I will be using the Flora Series with the Lucas Formula... Just the micro and bloom




anyway, without further ado, here is, on their first day of life,

Chemdawg 91

lolwut?

Ever been to a show where they're expecting weed? Hello body search!

Hey man the girls look a bit stretched try moving the light a tad closer. Other than it looks like a very nice set up +rep

How they looking?

You should also cover those holes in your net pots with more hydorton or something
Light in RES=algae and other problems

thanks man i noticed that too... i wasnt sure if it was the light or just how i started the seeds... they stretched pretty well during germ and i planted the VK in the rockwool after the seed shell came off
but since then, they seem to be doing alright... i lowered the light a little bit last night, and changed the PH in them to about 5.8... i think the MH is hotter than my HPS, and my temps are 85-90... only thing i could really do is cop another 4" 160 cfm fan for about $100 and use it as an intake for cooler air or use it as a duct booster to get more heat out faster...

the VK was starting to droop over, so i gave them both a tiny bit of water on top of the rockwool before covering them up with hydroton... its not totally covered yet, but ill be adding hydroton to them as they get bigger and can take it... good look

How they looking?

pretty good man i was gonna snap some pics last night, but didnt feel like taking the time to do it lol... my camera is nice sometimes as long as it focuses right and the lighting is cooperating... they are starting to get another set of leaves in though! pics probably tmrw night....

in the mean time, has anyone heard of this stuff? guy at the hydro store said getting a co2 tank in my little tent wouldnt really be worth it, and told me to give this stuff a shot. supposed to work for about 6 months and is producing co2 while on the shelf.

Subbbed, should be fun to watch! BTW, what are the room temps??? That ExHale has me pretty intrigued. I am sure you will keep us posted!

yeah dude totally heard of that stuff. All good shit too. Checked around at a few hydro shops in my area but none of them carry it.

should be but yeah like i said since i lowered the light theyre at like 85-90...

phew that sounds good! seems like i got a pretty good headshop... always got new products lines to show me, along with the entire lines of AN etc... really the only one in the area and its bout 10 mins away!!

since co2 is heavier than air i got the bag sitting on the bucket lids for now... probably end up mounting it somewhere strategical for it doesnt just get sucked up out of the ducting once the screen gets set up... it would be more beneficial to have it above the plants correct?

Do your research on those Co2 Bags, Co2 Boost, etc.

They're just a gimmick from what I've read and asked. You won't be able to get enough Co2 for the plant to even benefit from. Results may very. Some say it works and a lot of people say it doesn't. Until you check the PPM's its enriching is when you will know.

Other than that, do some research before wasting your money bro.

Hey High as Space, what I meant to ask was what is the adjacent room temp that is getting you to 85-90 degrees with lights on?

shit well i got it already... either that or spend like $100 on co2 tank made for a way bigger tent.. im sure half of what it makes is wasted though

the temp of the room that the closet is in is 65...

the OG is doing a little better than the VK... the OG's roots hit the water first and the VK just did this morning.

Don't forget the regulator and a decent controller. I don't think a co2 tank is the right fit for us with small unsealed cabs. There has to be a cheaper alternate way that's reliable.

This^ things can get expensive QUICK! I'll stick with my co2 bag until I'm growing in a warehouse for a co-op.

Op your plants are looking right on track fro one week great job so far.

i changed the water in them both after a week... used tap water at 150 ppm and didnt let it sit out real long... havent added nutes yet.

some yellow spots showed up on the OG today

not the best pics i might take more later

VK

got some more pics here as the OG still has the problem... they are both on their 3rd set of leaves... which one should i top? 4th? 5th? i think i went with the fifth last grow.
