Through this journal I wanted to keep track of my proof of concept progress. I finished this grow off with 4 30oz Mason jars full of great tasting meds. I had several fails through this grow so the cab did not produce to it's potential. Since that is not really the point of proof of concept I have to say that it was a successful grow. The Strawberry Cough tastes AWESOME!!! It makes you feel good and happy, more grin-lock than couch-lock. Mostly what I learned from this grow is how much I don't know. I've been growing on and off for 9 years now and I have a file cabinet full of grow books and magazines but my results are pail in comparison to your full-time grower of 25 years with a master's in horticulture and chemistry. This leaves me with the choice of going back to school or finding what works for me and sticking to it. I already know the answer to that one. I haven't decided if I want to continue to publicly journal my progress or not. The grow has gone perpetual so I thought I would end this one here at concept proven.
I have to thank the members of RIU for getting me this far. Expert grower and newb alike, I learned from your successes and failures. Everybody has something to contribute to this community of MJ enthusiasts and I thank all of you for your participation.

I hear you man. I have also learned much through my first hydro grow, but like you also learned I have a ways to go. I am not shooting for a Cannibis cup winner, but some fruitful yeilds would make me very happy. My folks are already learning from my mistakes as the 1 1/2" RW cubes are working way batter in the hydroton than the tall 3"ers I had to start with. Their plants look fantastic, and never once have they had a drooping leaf. I do believe my harvest has suffered from the RW problem. The roots were exposed from growing out the holes in the pots, and I think that in turn created a feeding frenzy for the fungus gnats. I still plan on trying a new strain to find one that works best for my set-up.
Thanks for all your help through my grow, and best of luck on future endeavors!

I'm glad to hear your second round is off to a good start, Jman. My plants look way better this time too. I've since switched from H2O2 to chlorine to keep my res clean with great results. I put 1/2 tsp of Chlorox in my 7 gallon hydro twice a week. The plants need chlorine and it precipitates out rapidly, so it's actually quite beneficial and harmless. You should try it before you spend on more H2O2. PS, Don't add it into a fresh reservoir because Chlorine is already in the tap water.
