update time. gonna take me a while, lots of pics...
for my medium i am using Pro Mix. i also added hydroton to the bottom of the containers. i want to really take advantage of all the aeration holes in these containers. the containers that i am using are 12"x12" square pots. you can find them on Hydrofarm - Grow Lights, Hydroponics and More!. i forget how many gallons they are, hehehe, straight up stoner. anyways, let peep the planting process....

the medium.



clay pellets added to the bottom.

Pro Mix added. time to plant...

these clones come from the same mother. they are Purple Rain, which is a Purple#1xBigBud cross. i never stray away from this strain. its my baby, hehe. it has a flowering time of 8 weeks, and gets deep purple, all the way through. each test area has clones of the same size and structure, for fairness. usually i wouldnt care, but this is a TOUCHY test. lots of critics about, very picky individuals, hehehe.

how do i suscribe? I really wanted to see the difference. From what i researched so far, im going with LED stay competitive with HPS during veg, but wont hang with HPS during bloom.
