My FIRST grow GO HYDRO (PICTURES)

chuck i would love to see that setup, post some pics bro

where the fuck is every1 else? i swear its just me and you chuck....

you know it i will post some picks for you tomorrow how is the stretching problem did you tie everything down? i just added another ight to the side of my operation to fill out the spectrum hows everything going in your neck of the woods?

good i think, pH is balanced all the time, temps are dramatically colder now tho.. water usually around 55-64F air being around 60-65, this too cold?

yeah i added a few bolts tied to a twistie tie and a small metal bead link, bringing the two tallest tops down about 1 inch below the T5. i think they might be males tho, i see a few balls but i think its too soon to sex them, they might turn into female pods i think. theyre fucking tiny right now...

hows the full spectrum turning out? i was thinking about adding maybe 3-4 6500k 26watt CFL's near the bottom, but it seemed like a hassle.

im day 8 in flower, ill post pics next sunday when there is more to show you.

p.s.
i got 3 seeds sprouted now about 1.5" tall in a small humidome outside the box, under 4 6500k 26watt CFLs. and roots are showing at the bottom of all the cubes, what the hell should i do with these in the meantime that im flowering??

put them in dixie cups

i have my t5 sideways and it turns off maybe 45 min before the 1k so i dont have any problems

just put em in dixie cups? also two sprouts and the clone show a bit of a brown to white discoloration on the leaves, would this be a heat indicator? or lack of nutes?

UPDATE, the larger plant is DEFENITELY FEMALE! finally seeing the two white hairs (day 10) w00t! however i think the other one is stilll male.... how soon can male plants pollinate??

i think a few weeks after finding out weather its male of female my citral from nirvana took 2.5 weeks to show sex and i had to top it to find that out

yeah both plants were topped in like the 3rd or 4th week of veg and now im thinking they are both female because i see a small white hair coming outta one of the pods

thats always good to hear check out my profile i put up a grow thread or something in there

transplanted the clones into presoaked rockwool cubes with Thrive Alive B-1 Red, 12.5 ml in 1 gallon water, pH about 5.5-5.8

this solution is 1-1-1 and .99% Vitamin B-1

there is now a total of 3 sprouts and 5 clones in my humidome. 4 of those clones being the ones i just transplanted today.

well see if they make it here in the next week or so.

OH and i put all sprouts/clones rockwool into dixie cups.

I'm thinking of constructing another DWC here soon, so i can be vegging same time i am flowering and just trade them out once i harvest.

are you going to try to do any soil i know you said you put then in dixie cups but i forgot to ask it then if you were doing soil of only in water?

only water. i am thinking of making another DWC, simple and cheap.

instead of building that other DWC, my other grow buddy was telling me i should just put these cubes inside larger cubes and try to keep the roots inside the cube, then when i do transplant them, they BOOM. pics coming soon.....

one was male for sure, so i trashed him two days ago, and added two 65watt (300 incandescent) cfls

each 65watt cfl produces 3960 lumens, so that multiplied by two + t5 = (roughly) 15,800 lumens for one plant, think this is sufficient?

TEMPS = AIR 83f WATER 65f

Pictures :

Q6 is showing where i topped the plant

Q7 & Q8 are showing where/how i tied down the two tallest branches (cant raise the lights n e more, NO MORE ROOM!)
