laid off for 2 weeks. lots of time on my hands. made some changes. moved everything out of shower. maybe utilize that area later. any ideas? I am thinking some t5 and use it for veg room. cause soon I will put the four I have now into flower.

built a wall and divided bathroom. not including shower area, it is 4x5x7.
made some changes to airflow. heat not a problem anymore. ac duct straight in to grow room for summer.

will build some shelves and mount fans in order to get more floor space. not for sure if I will need it.

I have backed off the watering and diluted the nutes. basically added 1 more gallon of water to same mix as before.
temp constant 72 humidity 32% - 40%. lights 24/7. big plant I have been pulling and placing in a light tight area for 12hrs. hopefully it will produce something.

if anybody has any tips or suggestion. hell I even take a "what the hell you do that for stupid" any comment appreciated.

just wondering if anybody has grown any white Russian or chronic. its one of those deals where a friend gave them to me. he told me thats what strain they were. he had about 4 other strains those i had heard of before. but not these. i researched a little and all i found was chronics revenge and something about white russian being a old 70 strain.

Hey, what s up yelo, nice grow. I'm on the verge of doing exactly what u are doing. How long were those roots on your seedlings before you moved them into the bubbler? That is one thing I'm not sure about. You said the bottom of the pots were getting wet, is this with roots showing or not? What are your plans, are you picking your best one or two for mothers, and then flowereing the other ones or flowering all, all mothers? They look great man! I would def keep that shower set up! Mothers under a t5, and clones up on a shelf under cfl's in 100% humidity. You can hang the t5 on the bottom of the shelf about neck/chest high pending on mother height. Then you can take a peak above and check out your babies. For your flowering roomou could do a sog and have 4 bubblers flowering! Six of your best clones in each. Within 8 weeks of having healthy mothers you could be harvesting enery two weeks. I have seen someone on here with a DWC with clones 1wk veg time, right into flowering and they were filling up the area of a 30gal rubbermaid perfectly and he still had a couple weeks to go. Sorry I got a little carried away, I love seeing new growers succeed, it helps me get fired up to start my grow early April

I did everything under 1000watts. buy the time I got done spending money. the wife was going crazy so I had to hold off on the t5s. I have been messing with the set up from day one and still have not found the perfect arrangement. I agree with turning the shower into veg area. I like your ideas also.

"How long were those roots on your seedlings before you moved them into the bubbler?"
I started in 1 in rockwool and hand watered for long time. after about 10 days I could see root coming out if the 1in rockwool. so I put them in 4in rookwool then filled the 6in pot nets with hydrotron. 2weeks ago I set up the drip system. had 2 airstones in reservoir. added one more today. still don't have the bubbles and splashing I want. even added a air pump for a 30-60 gallon tank.
water is pumped with 520 gph. but it seems so slow. it just drips. seems like the whole medium does not get wet. net pots 2in away from water line.
1stseed2.JPGIMG_0734.jpg#1.jpg
as far a roots showing they come right up to the edge of the nets. that's all. I have seen pics of massive roots hanging from nets. don't know what I am doing wrong. I think I need more nutes of some sort. but wanted to get everything else set before starting to try and figure out that aspect of growing.


all these are bagseed. well one i pick from a good bag of reg. the other 3 a friend gave me said they were skunk #1. but I don't know so I call it bagseed. I have 5 more. I started greming today. again from a friend. they are said to be (2) chronic and (3) white Russian. he also had other strains in unopened packages. so I have more confident in these 5.
last night I broke down and ordered 10 Bubblelicious and 10 skunk #1.

"What are your plans"
shit I don't know. I just wanted to grow some pot. now what? joking.

I think I will have to sweet talk the wife in to the t5s and get that mother and clone room together. and do like you said. 3 good mothers and some clones. then grow (go) nuts in the flower room. I really like that every 2 week harvest. I am going to have to do some more research.

now i got carried away. but man i have not been excited about a project like this in a long time. thanks for the comments

the A.D.D. is at it again. i dumped the drip system. for the bubbler. same pump just a little more hardware.
i even added prop-o-gator 0-3-2 food for roots 2 days before the bubbler. suggested by the hydro guy. this is what they looked like before.

8 hours after the bubble.

maybe this is from the bubbler. maybe the root stimulator kicked in. or maybe is because i just got the ph meter and levels are adjusted more accurately. i dont know.

here a few pic of the plants.

this is the bagseed. it 35 day since sprouting.
bagseed.jpgbagseed2.jpgbgseedtop.jpg

plant #1

plant #2
sknk2.jpgsknk2cl.jpgsknk2top.jpg

plant #3
sknk3.jpgsknk3cl.jpgsknk3top.jpg

so would it be acurate to say this is first week of veg.

i am trying to grem those chronic and white Russian. only two have crack one already sprouted

here it is. not much to look at.

anyway got it from local hydro store $135 5t ho 4 bulb 96w combined.
got to take the wife out now for letting me buy the lights.

Nice, you hooked up with the t5's too! I think that is a good move. I have heard a lot of bonuses on using those, especially for newer growers, hell even a lot of "pros" have had fantastic success with them especially in the veg stage.

t5s will go in the shower for seedling and clones. if i can ever clone one that lives. i was at the hydro store and saw this cloning box. it looked like it would be easy to make. so off to the hardware store. 4 trips later and here it is. i finished about 1 hour ago. would you believe after 4 trips i realized i forgot something to hang the light with. and i am still smoking shit weed.
