Looking good so far! Can you elaborate on the ebb and flow setup? (I’m interested lol)
The story goes.
I was putting way to much money on smokeable flowers and hashish than I could bare with, and I was kinda green fingered from what I have seen in the past with ordinary plants, so I gave it a shot, and Im the kind of guy who doesnt start at beginner scale, instead I went in head first into hydro with no experience what so ever…
I was hanging out at a forum back then reading reading and reading about growing, this was around 2005. The forum is long gone and so are all my pictures and threads. I actually managed to get the thread about how I went about when building this cabinet posted as a sticky with over 60.000 views, but rip to that forum and all that was posted because scammers took over, they even managed to get hacked and all users with emails was lost to some fuckoff and that was the end of a beautiful era, basically our only hangout and forum about cannabis, I come from a really really small country where smoking cannabis is pretty much as worse as shooting heroine because the govt has been really really good at spreading misinformation and lies and we have a population that craves to be politically and morally right, to the point its bascially not even worth being a human anymore and suicide rates are among the highest in the entire world.
The strain I choose was a sativa haze that took 16 weeks to flower, as a first time grower I had no idea that this was long time for a plant to mature and went away as if nothing, and I had nothing else to compare with so 16 weeks went by fast and delightful…
The crop was insane, this was when I immediately cought everyones attention, the buds were covering the entire plant, from right at the bottom to the top, like 1 meters long buds that stood like towers, they never stopped to grow either, I went ahead and shopped them at 16 weeks and I managed to output at least 1g per W…
Threw in some other varieties right after and they went crazy too, got so many comments about people not beleiving their eyes and my ego was inflated to enormous hights, the high I was on was incredible, I even started a grow with the purpose of not even checking the PH value just for fun and the results vere actually ok, still changed the tub once a week so if the PH isnt fluctuationg to bad it can be done.
Some years down the line is where I started running into problems, and my ego has been deflated to the point of fucking sadness because some times I couldnt get anything to sprout for several several months, and this one grow here is the first that is showing vital signs and Im starting to believe that Im going to get a actual crop this time around, painful times theese last years.
