This is my first full Hydroponic grow. I have done hours and hours of online research and purchased 3 grow books/bibles and read them all, along with taking a whole notebook full of notes... all to have them contradict the one before. Ive messaged a few growers on here and I think a thread might be good to get me going if y'all are willing to help!
My name is Jake and this is my setup.
I started with the 4' Colorado Grow Box(CGB) off of eBay. Then my plant got too big for the CGB, I built a 14"x14"x6' box. Turned out the plant was a male.
Now I just finished a box that is 6' long and has 4 separate growing boxes each 17"x17"x5'.Each box has its own set of fans, lights, air stone, and water basin. I have 6 Soft White CFL Bulbs(For flowering). One 120mm fan going in, and one 120mm fan going out. With a 4" bubble stone in the 3G of water (in a 4G water basin) at the bottom. Mylar covering all sides and the top.
When I got the CGB it came with sample packs of the General Hydroponics Flora Series nutes pack. So that is what I have been using. (http://www.amazon.com/General-Hydro...438883552&sr=8-3&keywords=general+hydroponics ) but I have been doing them at half strength just to ensure I am not over feeding. I change the nutes about every 7 days and follow the guidelines for the flora series. (I have a picture of the chart I am using)
That is my set up and method of growing. The biggest upside I saw for this box was that I could have 4 separate plants that I could have on different schedules, it wasn't just one batch at a time and I could experiment with things when I had time and more knowledge about them.
Now here are my plants. I have two 00 Kush Feminized seeds from The Single Seed Centre. In the pictures, I have a picture of both of my plants side, by side. I wanted to see if topping really actually helped... and I think it does. Sadly I only topped one of my plants when it was about 18" (Plant on the left was topped). The picture of the single plant is the one that is topped.
The Plant on the left is 37" tall and 26 days into flower.
The Plant on the right is 34" tall and 22 days into flower. (The plant on the right, one that was not topped, is about 4 days behind the one of the left because when I set the light timers I forgot to switch it to the timer, instead of having it on 24/7.... #RookieMistake)
I started by soaking them in water for 24 hours, then I put them in wet paper towels, and then I planted them in a 2" rock wool cube and then put it in the black net basket and just have it sitting in plexi glass covered with white spray paint on top of the water container.
I also just put tomato cages around them to help support them.
Feel free to respond here, or shoot me a message. I am open to any criticism.
Thank you all for reading and for you help in advance! :)
