OK here goes grow number 2. I'm setting up 2 systems (flowering & Veg ) so im starting with my veg portion of the grow.

Im using these items:

2x4 black tray
20 Gal rubber maid bucket
rock wool cubes
home maid drip system
air pump
1/2 drain nozzles
1/2 black tubing
aquarium silicon
3 timers
power outlet
2 4ft CFL cool white lights (getting a 3rd soon)

I've sprouted 14 purple kush seeds (8 for me the rest for my buddy) and so far its looking good.

All have cracked and I'm currently waiting for the sprout.

I Have 2 drains and 1 in for the water to hit the drip hoses.

I'm going to make an eb and flow system for the flowering stage. 600 HPS with blue spectrum. i plan to do hydroton in a 3x3 tray with the 8 plants.

What do you guys think????

Update - August 11th , 2008 - Day 6

Ok Heres the update so far on the almost first week of the grow. 2 or 3 of the plants have really taken the lead and could be the front runners of my grow.

The bad thing that happened this week was one of my lights went out and im not sure when. Yesterday i went to return it and buy a 3rd light. So now im on 4 cool white and 2 day lights CFLs.

Since im growing purple Kush i borrowed a Small AC fan to shock my plants later on down the line so they turn real purple in the flowering stage. Im buying my nutes tomorrow since i wanted to go the first week with out any.

I have 10 Plants now and try outs are still under way. My plan is to have 8 at the end of the 2nd week.

ill be changing out my res every week on Tuesday around 5pm. Don't want to have any issues with the water and this is very important for me.

I changed out the spike drips that i had before in the previous pictures. I went to HomeDepot and bought 1 Liter drip emitters with the holder spikes for a better drip.

My temperature is at 70°F in the morning and 79°F in the afternoon when its hottest. Im sure once i get my 600 HPS it'll be a lot hotter but ill cross that bridge when i get to it.

haven't bought my co2 yet but i plan to. Let me know what you think and what i can add to improve. thanks

heres an update - day 26 of Veg

here are some pics i have of the plants on day 26. Im going to be getting a lot more pics in since ..... thats right! today i got my 2nd system!

Eb & Flow - 3 x 3 tray - 1000 HPS air coolable reflector w ballast

I got it set up in about 45 minutes once we got everything together. Im going to be taking more pics tomorrow so you can get a better picture of how its going to end up. im missing the mylar and black tarp to seal the lights into my 2 sections. Right now i just have the 1 new setup with my 10 plants (hopefully all females) and will be waiting for the next 5 super silver and 5 of my purple widow i just ordered last week.

i moved all 10 plants today into the new system. i started to germinate my super silver haze today and plan to have it ready in a few days. i have two systems and plant to kick out 10 plants every harvest ( 2 months).

I was going to keep em in the 6 inch gordan cubes but i really need to go out tomorrow and get some rock pellets for a back up medium in the tray. the blocks arent letting the roots get much water .

let me know what you think
