Hey folks!
Here are some pics of my first true hydro grow. I started around the third week of Oct. the dates should be on the pics the first pics wereon 10/28 and the others taken just last night. I have been growing them on Pro veg from botanicare under a 250 watt HPS 18/6. the larger of the two plants is a little over a foot with a stem a little thicker than a finger. Both have excellent internodal growth. I will be switching to bloom within the week. What do you folks think?

personaly id raise the smaller plants up nearer the light a bit to boost their height and try and get a more even grow height

Are those heat blankets from a first aid kit? That doesnt look like mylar.

You got it Muff! I was trying to find something that had a relective surface and it was pretty cheap too ( $1 at Wal-Mart). It does help to reflect some light, but not as good as mylar would be I suppose. I want to make some improvements to the grow area after the holidays so that is one of the items I want to pick up.

Thanks DaCDaC!
Last year I was trying to grow with soil and some crappy lights. This is my first grow in hydro with a HID light and I have to say that I have never seen plants grow that quick. Growing Hydro has been a great experience so far and I can't wait to see the plants when harvest time comes!
