I just finished my first grow
it was an test grow I did to figure out how I kept killing my plants every time I tried to grow before. I started it off in a tiny crappy box I bought off the internet and finished in a unmodified closet. I used an older Mars Hyrdo UFO LED putting out 180w of light. Let's see what else, I used DWC in a 3 gallon bucket and fed the plant using Advanced Nutrients. I did nothing to control temps of humidity, and almost lost the plant to root rot early in.

The plant took a total of 126 days from seed to harvest which was way longer than I expected. I'm not sure if the slow growth was the light, the room, or the genetics. I suspect a combination of those factors.

Over all I couldn't be happier with this grow. It frustrated me, I almost killed the plant multiple times and for a while thought it wasn't going to yield anything worth harvesting. In the end I ended up with nearly 3x my goal yield of beautiful dense sexy frosty buds.

Here's some pictures of the final dried product

The problem was probably the nutrient solution being too warm to hold enough oxygen. If you have high temp problems DWC is the last system you want to use unless you can cool it to about 67 degrees somehow. Those buds look crystally though. Awfully low yield for 180 watts though, like 0.16 gram per watt. Be careful with Mars lights, they can burn any time. Cheap construction with inferior materials. Crappy Epistar LEDs, probably not even real ones but Chinese knockoffs which are even worse. Might be real, idk. Just guessing from how low the price is.
