so this is my first time with goin hydro..done soil a few times with decent results but i wanna go big time so i jus got a whole new set up.. got some clones from a medical grower of some soma lavender :mrgreen: (dankity dank dank) and im about 2 weeks into veg..
Nutes Veg:
House and Garden Aqua Flakes A&B
Drip Clean
Root excelerator
Nutes Flower:
Bud Xl
shooting powder
Multi Zen

Lights:
1000w hps
couple of fans to keep the room at a constant 74 during the day

Medium:
4x2 flood tray
20 gallon rubbermaid resv.(that fuckin always leaks):twisted:
clones are in rockwool obviously with hydroton in net pots

im following the nute calc on the website exactly .except i cut every measurment down by about 10% because i dont wanna overstimulate wit to many nutes and shock em..ill try and put some pix up tonight..im kinda new to the grow journal thing so ne help would be appreciated thanx guys.. happy tokinbongsmilie
 
just changed the resivoir out...switched in from 20 gallons to 15 it somehow stopped the leaking..and theres still plenty of cushion so the pump dont run out of water...also adjusted nutrients for 15 gallon resv. obviously..still no luck on the camera yet im workin on gettin some up..
 
plants are lookin decent showin steady growth getting bushy and crazy.got pixx finally camera phone pix so they aint the best..

jus added a 12'' aqua misterw/air pump(bubble maker)to my resivor..hopefully this will perk them up a lil bit..mor pix tonight hopefully
 
got a few shots of the roots..there lookin really good alot of new growth and for the most part very white...there was a lil brown spot on one of em i think it was some stuff off of the hydroton though pretty sure its nuthin to worry about..:o...niether than that they look good lots of growth but also lil bit of discolorization which i think was due to the lack of o2 in the resivoir so hence the air pump with the bubble maker...hopefully this will solve the problem soon

lookin good on the home front grew about 2 inches in a day...bubbles are doin the trick..when i change out the resivoir in two days im goin to cut the nutes down to about 1/2 the recommended doses..ill put pix hopefully on sunday...:weed::leaf:
 
got more pix i trimmmed up the lower old growth on one of my plants my buddy told me that the lower stuff bellow my four main stalk wouldnt produce that good ofa bud and its morebenificial to jus chop em and get rid of it...so i did it with one of my plants not to extreme or nething jus trimmed it up a lil bit and got a clone actually too..:weed::leaf:
one mor week of veg then its into flower i think..i got a ruler in the pic and the enitire ruler is twelve and ahalf inches...also i dropped the nutes even lower...the calculator said give it 108 ml of a &b i gave it 70...gave it 8ml of root excel. and 4 ml of drip clean..so we'll see how the plants like it..if they dont like it ill jus add the diffrenc in the resiv...:-P
