OKay.... I wasnt going to make a journal but after looking around for a while Im not too worried about it. Also i was bored.

Strain: White label Power Plant

# of Plants: 5

Method of Growing: 2 plants in soil (not pictured) 3 plants In Bubbleponics

So Im in my 5th Week growing and it has been a steep learning curve. I bought 2 books "Grow Great marijuana" by Logan Edwards (great book) and "Hydroponic Basics" by George F. Van Patten (another excellent book). Those along with this site have been very helpful. Ive had a couple close calls with roots getting slimy because of too much H202 and high res temps but other than that it has been smooth sailing. I am still vegging at 5 weeks and am using about 450 watts of cfls. Im going for some small trees I ordered a 600 watt HPS for flowering when the time comes. Ive made some changes to my bubbleponics system and have a good idea (after trial and error) of how to get good results with it so if any one else has it and needs help just holla.


If anyone has advice on increasing yield Im all ears.

Peace and love.

Welcome to the forum. And it looks like you are off to a good start. Hope they all end up ladies. If you haven't already done so you should clone those plants soon.
I would not put a six hundred watt furnace in there. Details are in my journal. VV

Im waiting on cloning gel to come in the mail along with my HPS. On the smaller plants and the more predominantly Indica it doesnt seem like there are any good sites to take clones. All they have is the main shoot and fan leaves with tiny new shoots above the fan leaves at about an inch or two. I never topped any of the plants.


And as far as the 600 watt light i have another 6 ft or so above the plants not shown in the pic so i can raise it up quite a bit. I have a ventilation fan going into the attic and some other methods of keeping the temp down. Ill just take some more pics hang on......

These should give a better idea of what im working with. Any advice on taking clones? Sorry about the poor pic quality... i use the camera on my macbook pro...ever try taking a picture with a laptop when you cant see the screen and having to quirk your arms in oblong positions? haha

The second pic in the previous post shows my custom vent into the attic...Seems to get the job done. The temp in the closet stays around 74F in the day and 69F at night. I leave the closet door open and the window in the room open for CO2 and airflow. It is snowing outside as im posting this!

Oh yeah, I am going to take out the clothes rack when the time comes and i need more room.
