Hey everyone – can’t wait to share my first grow journal with you!
I’m growing for my mom who’s just gone through her second treatment for Ovarian Cancer. Now that it’s legal in CA, she’s open to using it (the reefer madness brainwashing is real).
Back in grad school I got really interested in hydroponics/aquaponics and immersed myself in the readings. Eventually, I tried growing cannabis and had pretty good success using DWC with a Scrog and 400W HPS.
I don’t have a lot of space to grow at my new location, so I’m switching up a few variables to make it more convenient.
Current setup:
*My Agrobrite light has been delayed, lost, or other BS since late November. It should come in today and I'll add a new picture of the complete setup later.
**My handmade scrog might have to be switched out for plastic chicken wire if it proves to be too flimsy.
Nutrient Schedule:

I can't wait to share this journey with you all.
Thanks in advance for all the wisdom and thought-provoking discussions.

Current setup:
- Tent: 2'x4'x5'
- Lighting: Agrobrite 4ft T5 (216W) & Lighthouse Hydro BlackStar Chrome Full Spectrum (270W)
- DWC: 5 gallon Home Depot buckets with 4in airstones a 7.8L/min air pump
- Scrog made from string
- Fan
- Temperature range 65-77 degrees F
- Humidity range 45-70%

Nutrient Schedule:
- I'm using General Hydroponics Flora series. After reading the Cannabis Grow Bible and a few posts from old-time growers, I've opted to venture into the lower threshold of nutrient PPMs per phase. What are your thoughts on this?
- Below is a screen shot of how I'm keeping track of my weekly progress in Google Sheets.
Strains Growing:
- Green Crack
- Gorilla Glue #4
- Clones came in Rockwool and soil, so I had to de-soil them prior to putting them in the DWC system. I used a big bowl with water to get the bigger soil pieces off then ran it through slow water from the faucet.
I can't wait to share this journey with you all.
Thanks in advance for all the wisdom and thought-provoking discussions.
