hey what's up, decided to register here and share my progress as I grow 15 afghani bombay kush clones and 2 grand daddy purple clones.

this is my 3rd grow, the first one was four seedlings which didnt turn out all that well but was good for a first grow, the second was about 20 plants which werent very well taken care of.... this time around is going to be different though.

I have a small shed that I have wrapped the inside with reflective garade door insulation found at home depot. I purchased an AC/dehumidifier unit from Sharp which sits in the back corner. I have 12 hydro plants and five soil plants. My lights are one 1000w HPS and one 400w HTL/EN it says.. still definately learning but got the right setup. Pic included in attachment.

I have a 100gallon reservoir which floods the 12 hydro plants four times a day. The water comes from an underground well so its already about 70degrees and a lot cleaner than city water. I have the Hanna combo meter ppm/ph/ec which works wonders. I am using Supernatural Grow and Bloom Aqua as my nutes with some Bud Blaster. I am also using Superthrive. For the soil they get Grow Big and Tiger Bloom.

I have been veg'ing since 06/16/08 so just over two weeks with a planned flowing process to begin right around july 16th. the plants as you can see in the pics are already getting quite tall so should be just about the right time to switch.

i did have a couple questions maybe someone could answer about the possibility of putting multiple plants into one bucket for future grows, like 2 per bucket? anyway i check these babies daily so i will be posting pics through the process now I found a good place to do so.

also the last pic is grand daddy purple, it split in two on its own which is kinda a bummer but those clones weren't looking that solid looking in the first place. the circuit blew in the first week when it was very hot so i saved them so that could be why.

i mean 5 gallon buckets not 1 gallon. anyone offer any advice from what i have given? ph water is 5.8.. soil s 6.3-6.5.. temp low 70s. room temp is 75degrees.

so i can probably fit at least 2 plants in each container?

these are day 21 of veg. the first image is of the grand daddy purple in hydro. the 2nd and 3rd are of the Afghani Bombay Kush in hydro and the 4th is the afghani bombay kush in soil.

also im an idiot on the size of the pots.

one plant per pot (unless you are growing in a tray or something).

i'm surprised your plants are looking as healthy as they are with those high res temps you told me about. hopefully that will continue... i was not so lucky.

yea i havent had any problems except some yellowish leaves early in the process but i used some stress relief from supernatural which got their color back. the temp in the reservoir is now 76degrees. i just put some air rocks into the reservoir to hopefully help with the algae and chlorine if there is any from the well. otherwise turned the temp on the ac unit down to 66degrees today (its about 105degrees outside) and after this grow plan on moving the reservoir close to the ac unit so everything should be rockin by then. trial and error.

you better rap them buckets that are white with some mylar or paint them black,or your going to be fighting mold like a banchie.Its not molding yet, but you watch youl have root rot so quick,you will be hating it. your light is penatrating threw to the bottom were your roots will be.

i havent had any problems with mold during the first grow which was in the same buckets. ive been told that light penetrates around 4feet down and the lights are about 2 feet above most of the plants. the hydro store that sold the setup only changed his recommendation of the black to the blue hoses for algae purposes.

will be dropping the water temp today to help and just purchased a new 1000w hps for the start of flowering.

day 25 of veg cycle. the hydro plants are way bigger than the soil ones and i have one little straggler which will probably need more vegging time once im ready to switch to flowering next week.

everything is excellent.. ive been just giving the clones fresh water w no nutes every 2 weeks so as of right now they're in ph balanced 73degree water,with a room temp of 74degrees.. not as hot here lately either so the Afghani Bombay Kush plants look amazing its just the Grand Daddy Purples im having trouble keeping the lower leaves happy.. they are the final 2 pictures.

i have been using SuperThrive which has been amazing in minimizing stress and keeping these babys forest green.

They are looking good!

I love how fast they grow in hydro. I was going to switch to soil (to try it out - never did it) but many experienced folks told me i'd just get pissed at how slow they grow

Day 31 of veg, i was going to begin flower this week but the plants are only about 9" tall and i want to get them to at least 12".. space isnt an issue just want to get the best yield.

had some minor nute issues so i flushed after noticing for a few days, messed with the mix again and got them back to loving life. the soil ones are starting to catch up finally with me giving them the right nutes. i had given them tiger bloom instead of big bloom, got confused but they're bushy as hell.

should be flushing again in a week just before flower mixes go in, should be looking good.. i tried to get more closeups of the hairs and goodness i have been witnessing just in veg.

also ill start taking pics in flower with a digital camera once i find a battery charger.
