So here are some pics of my first hydro grow. Any comments? It is a 150 Hps with a custom Air cooled hood. No exhaust for now i have a stanly blower, 3 intake muffin fans, and its all in Rubbermaid Bubble bucket. The seeds are GHF Lemon Skunk. ha and by the way that is my personal ghetto way of Co2 production, hey it works ha.
Ok so the seeds have been in the rockwool for about 4 days now and they are looking ok. The PH was like around 8! so i quickly fixed that yesterday and added just a tiny bit of Nutes. I have noticed that in the morning the Ph goes back up, then i fix it, then ill see tommrow morning but i have a feeling that it will drift back up. Is there a way to keep the PH around 5.7-6.5 consistently?
Ok so today was Day 7 and the PH was back up so i went and got a quart of battery electrolyte and mixed 8Oz with a gallon of distilled water and there you have a gallon of a strong acid PH down, only need about 1ml Per Gallon. I changed the water in the res and saw alge growth so i pluged the hole and added a cover for the rockwool. Also added the blower keeps temps about 7-8 degrees cooler on the plants and moves them around a lil bit.
looks like you got yourself a nice stealth grow, so is the air cooled hood acting as exhaust or intake? and are the little fans like computer fans or something? have to keep an eye on this one, keep givin us updates
Ok so I'm 9 days into flowering, and im finally using all 3 GH series @2.5ml of micro, grow, and bloom per gallon(half strength), superthrive for the stretch @ 5ml per 6 Gallons, and 2.5ml per 6Gal of B-clear. Distilled water, PH 5.5-6.0 EC/PPM ? Temp 68@night-83@day Humidity 40-50%. Im also added a Veg Box, its an old beat up speaker box, i had to 12's in. Mylar, 2liter bubble bucket, mother in dirt, 2 23watt daylight CFL, Co2.
great job dude im growing GHS LS as well theyre on 7th day of flowerin but still no sign of flowers or even hairs (all my bagseeds in same setup startet flowering) what about yours
Ok so i added some lights...so my total lights inside the hood are 2-23 Watt Daylight, 2-42 Watt Soft Light, and 1 150 Watt Hps and outside the hood i hung a small 23 watt 10.0 UVB CFL bulb. I was wondering but should i see more "bud" starting to form after 13 days? Also, are there any leaves that one would take off to allow more light to get to a bud sight?> Does this hurt the plant, is it worth it?
So this is day 17 of flower we changed the lights around and got alot closer and they love it. About how much would you guys say that i will get dry or wet from this. Im using Big Bud, Overdrive, and GH series.
hi! tell us more about that funny ghetto CO2 system u got the plant grew pretty good as i see it (especially in the begining) good luck
ha yea i was really high and figured that the Co2 would build up and the fan extract it.....im pretty high now, ha but i dont have Co2 anymore, i am going to buy it later on after this grow. These are some pics of todays pics.
No i have not seen any resin production yet just more and more hairs every day and a "swelling" of the buds.
yo nice work 1 comment - i heard that air pumps must be above the water level not on the floor like u put it - i dunno why but i keep em as recomended also u have pretty wide bucket itll be good if u install 2 pumps instead of 1 the more is better P
hi dude cannot wait to see ur updated pics hows the flowering mine is worst only hairs no buds at 17 day of 12/12
