Yesterday, I emptied out the system and mixed a new batch of nutes. Since this is one area where my journal is a little light, I thought I'd expand a little, and get very specific on what nutrients, in what quantities I added to the solution. FYI: The nutrient mix below is created by taking AN's...

It's day 26 of my hydro experiment, and I am pretty pleased with the way things are going. My PH had been running a little high with this batch of nutes for some reason. No worries, really. I've just been adding 6-12 drops of PH down every morning and evening to allow the PH to range between 5.5...

So, one of my plants is having this issue where a couple of the leaves are 'clawing' downwards and turning yellow towards the tips. They are also developing spots in the yellowing area. As it's presently only the tips of two fan leaves, I'm not stressing too bad about it, but to keep it from...

These pics were taken at the beginning of weeks one, three, and four. I forgot to snap a group photo at the beginning of week 2. My bad. Weeks 1-3 group photos:

It's day 24 of this little project of mine, and things are getting interesting. I now have 3-4 tops on most of my girls, with 5-6 additional branches rising to the surface. Just before snapping these pictures, I gently bent the tops apart to show the development at this stage. I'm going to give...

Hey all. One of my plants has some strange behavior in a few of the fan leaves. The tips of the leaves are turning yellow and the whole leaf is 'clawing' downward. It seems to be mild at this point, but I want to address it early if it's something problematic. Thanks in advance guys and gals...

Everything looks to be coming along nicely, I've got some algae issues that I intend to address this weekend, but otherwise everything looks pretty good. I'm pleased with the results of topping the girls, and plan on FIM'ing them pretty soon. I added some beneficial Bacteria and Fungus...

I've got a bit of the poly film I used to doll up the grow room left over. I think I'll be making some film 'skirts' for the girls after work today. Thanks Tom!

So, there's green stuff growing on my hygroton. At first, I thought it was my nutes staining the ricks green, but alas, I now believe it to be algae. (see the pics) I'm sure those of you who use hydro have seen this before. Should I worry about it, and if so, how do I kill it? I've heard about...

Hey Tom, The bookshelf is just there to avoid any uncomfortable questions from friends and guests. I'm a medical cannabis patient, and nobody I know IRL knows what I'm up to, so law enforcement isn't really an issue for me. on LST: I've been tossing that idea around in my head for a while now...

My girls are recovering from topping nicely. I was a bit nervous about topping this early, but I wanted to create lateral growth early in the veg stage. I am very happy with the progress they've made so far. I added nutes on Saturday. I'm still running 3/8th strength from the recommended...

I decided to top three of my four plants. two days later, and I'm glad that I did! My space is kind of tight, so I'm thinking about screen training as soon as the girls bush out a bit more. What do you guys think? Scrog? On a side note, My PH has stabilized in the system to 6.0. EC 1.0 PPM 700

I'm considering topping the girls. The girls on the end are starting to really take off, and I want to ensure even vegetative growth. What do you all think, is it too soon? Thanks in advance, D0z3r

Thanks Purfect! I'll keep updating this weekly with progress reports and pics. Checking out your grow now.

Here I am in week three, and my girls have started taking off. Last weekend, I decided not to use the reservoir until my girls get thirstier. I flushed the system completely, wiped it out as best I could given the space constraints, and mixed a brand new batch of nutes up. I decided to move the...

I realized a little late, that my hydroton was too low. I needed to raise the level of the medium to avoid nutrients splashing on the leaves. I ran down to the hydro shop and bought another bag. After rinsing it out with tap water for 30-45 minutes, I raised the level of the clay significantly...

I procured some Purple Urkle clones from my local dispensary. They’ve had nothing but stellar medicine since I’ve been going there, and the chance to grow one of the most coveted strains in North America was too good to pass up. I brought them home, plopped them in, and immediately added nutes...

One of the four people in my “circle of trust” is a contractor, so I enlisted his help to remodel the closet as necessary. We decided we were going to need to add electricity, and cut a 6” vent hole in the closet to vent the air into the adjacent closet. . This was going to heat up the room...

When I started thinking about this project, my biggest concerns with growing in this area were space and heat. The closet I was going to use was cramped (16"Wx76"Lx84"H). I drew up a plan of the space and ran down to my local hydro shop. I wanted to create the highest yield system I could cram...

Greetings Everyone, I recently decided to dive into the very complex world of Hydroponics. I hope this journal will allow others to learn from my mistakes, and maybe even take something I did that works into their own garden. Without further ado: I present to you, my garden Comments and...
