1st official attempt..CFL & Bubbleponics/DWC AF Fem Short Rider & Fem Master Kush
Well I know I am delayed on the updates I have ran into a whole bunch of issues. The bubbleponic system is causing me alot of problems. These have been going since 9/20/10 I expected them to be bigger....I kinda hit a wall.
I did remove the layer of styrofoam I had under the buckets.....Added an additional fan...and had an executive decision...I only have 2 babies in each system.... At this point with there size...They all got moved in to the 4 pot DWC last nite.
I changed the water for the first time last nite...That went fairly smooth... And so far the "move" has went ok....I also started them on nutes last nite....Like I dont have enough issues lol. Only 25% at this point..
My goal is to get these girls alittle bigger then they can move into there own homes..
I also have decided to do 2 Master Kush and 2 Short Rider in dirt.....Started germing today I will keep yall posted.

1st official attempt..CFL & Bubbleponics/DWC AF Fem Short Rider & Fem Master Kush
Hi Everyone.....
This is my first official attempt. By that I mean that I am actually trying to do it the best of my knowledge and with semi limited cash flow. Have made a half assed attempt before
( random bagseed in dirt sitting under 2 flouros that happened to be hanging in basement and I wasn't the best mom to them lol) so I started to research...I have notebooks with info and notes written down even..I am trying to do this right...well atleast the best I can do....And hopefully I am sucessful...This is first journal so I am trying not to goo on and on but still giving up relevant info......
Feel free to comment or whatever....If Im rambling feel free to let me know or ask questions....Try not to bash me though...lol...its just rude and Im learning...But I am a fan of constructive criticizm.....
Im hoping this journal starts to flow but I feel I should give some base info on the set up.
BACKGROUND
I didnt have a logical place to set this up..I researched alot about dimensions of rooms, tents pros and cons, stealth cabs ect. I knew I wanted a room but no logical room to use.... Most tents were to expensive for the size they were.. I have space in basement but its a big room...not equipped for that kind of set up lol... So in my infinite wisdom...Im going to build a room...I should tell u im no master builder... or a builder at all for that matter...So I started to sketch out a design.. I was trying to take in consideration the dimensions..with the amount of plants I planned as well as the amount of light I had available...I decided on 5 1/2 ft tall (as tall as possible
) 6ft long and a 3 ft wide. (in retrospect to big for current grow but I do have the option of using one side for flow/one for veg eventually, need to plan ahead). That gives me 18 Sqft. I knew I needed reflective walls so after more research....I found that panda film (like a thick plastic black on one side white on the other and pvc pipe...Not sturdy by no means but I didnt need the room to support anything and it was cheap...I used 1/2 inch pvc (would recommend thicker)..Tada a room is born.......
LIGHTS
I'm using Sunleaves t5 light currently...I have more CFLs but not hooked up yet..As they get bigger I will add more..That light is 47 x 25.
SYSTEM
I have set up 1 DWC 4 pot system
and 1 6 pot Bubbleponic sytem
both from Stealthhydro
Plan to upgrade if these work out by upgrade I mean make my own bigger ones lol.
SEEDS
I ordered seeds from Nirvana I got:
Auto flower feminized Short Rider
Feminized Master Kush
What has went down so far I germed 2 SR (SR) and 3 MK (Master Kush)#2 not looking so good. They got put in the system on 9/19/10 with no nutes. I feel they kinda small but hydro systems new to me so I am trying to be patient...Not one of my skills but with this you gotta be. They are on 24 light. And wow those lights get warm I am concerned because in my infinite wisdom I didnt expect that much heat to come from there..But this is a learning process.. But I cant put them too close to plants now and Im dealing with a bit of stretching..Also trying to regulate water temps with warm lights an issue. The lights in the pics are farther away than I keep them for picture purposes.
I will be flushing and adding first nutes at 25% tomorrow.
Here are some pics.. will be keeping more ontop of the pics and info now that journal started

had so many failures with rockwool. Personally I like the lucasformula which u can read up on at lucasformula.com and I like to use GHP subculture B because it let's me use my well tap water alot longer with out getting funky water.
