Medua DWC CFL/400w HID

**atrumblood** · 03-12-2009, 01:39 PM

Well guys, it's that time again.

Time to start up another grow.

My last grow was interrupted due to certain alcohol related complications.

So for this grow, I will be using CFLs for veg, and a 400w HID lamp for flowering.

The setup is a pretty simple DWC design as you can see in the attached image.

It basically consists of a 10 gallon fish tank, on some plastic shelving from a local hardware store.
The lights are threaded through the top, and positioned over the growing area.
This allows me to raise or lower each light individually.

The seed I will be using for the 1 plant grow is a Medusa strain 100% fem.

The nutes I will be using are Foxfarm Grow, and Bloom.

I will begin the germination process later tonight.

So wish me luck!

Nice, keep us updated!

Ok guys, we have baby cannabis. Now the fun begins.

Im just using the CFL untill it is out of the seedling stage.

In 2 weeks, I will introduce its first nutes as well as the MH 400W balast setup. May be sooner depending on how fast this little gal grows.

Day 2:

Well guys, its been about 4 days since I started this little gal.

Appears healthy so far.
Any questions, or thoughts are always welcome.

Alright, I just ordered the 400W MH/HPS system, and should be here in about a week.

Be the first time I have been able to afford a balast setup.

Day 10:

Ok guys, here is the next update.

I introduced the first nutes yesturday, and already there is a big increase in growth.

Also, I rearanged my floating platform to allow less light into the tank, and thus reducing the algea that can grow in the tank.

Day 12:

The little gal is growing fast. 2 days later, and its like a whole new plant.

Ok guys,

Finally, I now have a decent light for my setup. No more CFLs for my little MJ.

Let me know what you think.
