First hydroponic grow

Happygrower · May 1, 2008

Hey everyone. I am new to this site so please bare with me. This is my first attempt at growing hydro. I am using a stealthhydro bubbleponics setup and my plants are 29 days old. There are 5 white rhino plants growing right now. I have attached some pictures and am just wondering if anyone has any pointers for me from what they can see in the pictures, or any comments whatsoever. Please let me know if there is anything else you want to see to help you comment better and i will post it up asap. Thank you!!

Plants look good but i think you should have taken the plastic off the rockwool cubes when you put them into the rocks mate

i would aslo cover the top of the rockwool to prevent it from gettin slimy algae shit on it after a couple weeks

on my seconD hydro grow and i must warn you, ya gotta flower like last week cause they will get BIG. WAY BIG

Thank you for all the replies and questions. Im using the stealth hydro bubbleponics set up with the Dual Spectrum II lights that i got with them as well as 2-48" fluorescent grow lights. Right now I have just one small fan that is blowing on the plants, but will probably add another one soon. the size of the room is about 5' wide by 20' long and about 8' high. I have them on top of a table right now so if height becomes a problem I will put them on something lower. The nutes that i am using are the ones that came with the stealth hydro kit. I just switched from the grow nutes to the bloom nutes and set up my timers to be on for 12 hours now. Now I just have to hope for some girls!!! :peace:

How big were your plants when you started to flower and how big were they once they were ready for harvest? Indica or Sativa? Just trying to get an idea of how big these will get....ive heard double to triple in size.

Ak47.
DWC (30L Buckets - 4 per unit(Very Simmlar to Bubble Ponic, Set up))
400W HPS
Flowered at 10"
Finished at 18"

I personly think I flowered a little soon I should have let it go to 12 or 13 inches, but I have more light than you.

Hope that helps, in 8 long weeks time you will have something like this, by the looks of your plants I would say better. This was my first grow.

Thanks for the info. Those are some nice buds in that pic you have. Cant wait until mine start to look like that! I will keep the pictures updated on here. Keeping my fingers crossed for females!
