Alright So I am exactly half way into my first hydro grow and I figured I would start a little journal to see if anyone has any advice.
First:My last soil harvest

great bud but kinda low quantity.
For my new grow I switched to a 4x4 hydro table under a 1000w HPS using General hydroponics nutes.

A buddy drove up to canada and got seeds from the seed bank in toronto.Warning: your best bet if you go there (In the shittiest part of Toronto) Get the seeds from the strains that the owner Mark personally grows We got 10 NLxSkunk 10 G13xBudda 10 Hindu Kush The NL and the G13 were strains that mark grew the hindu kush one he orders. All 10 NL and G13 sprouted and only 1 Hindu Kush so beware.


A Little While Later:

you are going to run out of room real fast with all those plants.

Yes I did
They grow up so fast....


......

.....A week and a half into flower I culled the males

the row on the edge is are 2 NL in the front Hindu Kush In the back
The rest are g13xBudda


THe g13xBudda

lookin good bro, keep up the good work

I am nearing up to 3 weeks into my Flower and the little buds are looking BEAUTIFUL (will post pictures later today when the light comes on) My biggest problem one of my NL's seems like a slight hermafradite..I noticed a pollen sack along the main stem I checked the whole plant and that was the only one I found so..I am just going to cut them off as they appear and hope I get them all...

Looking back over the last pictures I took, I am massivly impressed with their development in the last 10 days. Here Take a look:

Also My Northernlights x Skunk are budding soooooooo Goood:

Woah, this is a pretty pro grow right here! *jealous*

Thanks a lot! I Have put more time (and a lot more money) Into this grow then any of my other grows and I am just exctatic that the plants are paying me back...Hydro is the WAY to go. I havent missed carrying buckets of water downstairs everyday that is for damn sure

4 Weeks into flower....

The buds are developing great. I am just super excited about the yeild I might get off these


I gave 2 of the plants (g13xbudda) a slight nute burn but I adjusted down and I am hoping they recover
Also the Hindu Kush seems to be behind the other plants quite a bit I am guessing that plant is going to have to go awhile after the others are harvested

good job i love the 4x4 with a 1000 wt that is what i use when i cant do a big grow. next time try a sea of green and keep the plants closer and trim all the bottom branches that are little just grow colas then you can git so many more plants i do 36 in a 4x4 just a thought. i think you would be way more happy with your turn out not that you did a bad job keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
