Pineapple express+Kandy kush. Hydro

This is my first hydro grow.

(1) 425cfm active air inline fan.
(1) 6 inch inlet phatt carbon filter (not using yet)
(1) portable ac unit.
(1) portable swamp cooler (for when humidity is needed)
(1) reverse osmosis water system.

Water ppm:14
Water ph:5.8-6.2
Nutrients for veg: (haven't started feeding yet)
Voodoo juice, b52, sensi grow a&b and great white.

Strains:
Reserve parada kandy kush
G13 labs pineapple express

I will be using scrogg and I am shooting for a pound per plant.
I will post up pics of the setup and plants when I get home.
They are 2 weeks into growth.

PE

Kandy

Just feed them half a ml of voodoo juice. Roots on the pineapple express are already in the water.
Ppm is .13 lol got to love Ro water.

Will post up pics tonite. They are doing well. I am feeding at 300ppm now and keeping temps at 78 when light is on (20 hours) and 73 when light is off) I covered the drip ring with foil due to the nut water splashing on leaves. Also both have long roots in the water already. If you ask me Voodoo juice is worth ever penny.

Side by Side: (Thats the AC you see in front)

Pineapple Express (A good looking plant)

Kandy Kush (Shorter, This one lagged when put in the waterfarm, PE Germed first)

Roots:


Side View:


Will finish the Scrog Screen soon and have it ready to go in and start training. This is my first hydro grow so if there is anything you guys see that I need to change let me know.

looks great. was your pineapple express seed small and pale? mine looks immature

Yea it was tiny when i got it. I had two kandy kush seeds cause one i bought and one i got as a freebie. I am glad i had 2 cause the first kandy one didnt germ. Thats why the kandy plant is a lil behind the PE one.

Thanks man. So far I love Advance Nutrients. I can tell a nice change between them and Fox Farm. I liked Fox Farm for soil But I did a lot of reading up on AN. When I flower I will be using:
Bud Blood
Sensi Bloom A and B
Big Bud
Overdrive
Final Phase

Nice setup you will like that Overdrive! Will follow. Never had a post on a thread that quick thanks man>

Thank you. Yea i have herd great things about it as well as Big BUD. +rep for you

Depends on the size of pot. I used MG at first too but the nuts that are in the soil burnt them at first so i transplanted into Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and moved from 2 gallon to 3 gallon pots. If you mean in this grow then no. This is all hydro.

in this case whatever dosent killem can make them hermie

What i am really digging about Hydro is how fast it grows and how you can tune everything in. As far as seeing how much the plant is taking in. More water or nuts and so on.

Woke up today and when I walk into the room for the first day I can smell some green growing. Might have to get that carbon filter setup. Will update with pics tonite as they look different already.

That damn green smell I battled that forever it felt like good luck!

Lol I kinda like it. Sorry will post pics tomorrow. Was at a rock show all night. Tomorrow is change out the resv day.
I am wondering if I should increase nuts to 300ppm or not. I have a couple leaves that have a couple tiny holes. I will get pics tomorrow. The holes aren't from bugs. None found or heat 73-79 in cab. So it has to be nuts. Been blasting them with nuts early. Will update in morning. Thanks for checking in all.

ALRIGHT HERE ARE THE PICS:
First here is the lineup I am using and will be using for veg. I just feed them all of these at 400ppm. They have been taking nuts pretty well so we will see how they do at 400.

Here are the Two plants:

The root mass (and might I say mixing Voodoo Juice with Great white as you can tell WORKS AWESOME. This is only 1 week of real Veg growth

This is the problem I was talking about as far as a couple leaves only on the Pineapple Express have holes in them. No signs of Bugs at all. I use to have a couple flying ant type of things but I got rid of them. I do spray under the leaves and keep a fan on them as well. I think it might be from before I had the foil on to cover up the drip ring and the water sprayed on the leafs and the light just ate threw.

Side View of PE (sexy sexy)

Kandy Kush (personally I think this plant is ugly. I new that going in as I saw the pics
of it on Attitude but It sounds like a badass strain Trainwrech crossed with OG kush:


This is my frist hydro as I have stated so I have been checking PH and PPM everynight. I drain the resv out every sunday and replace with feeding. I just top off the resv when needed with straight RO water. Thanks for looking guys.

Im growing some g13 pineapple express too!..and I've had the same problems with holes in the leaves with no signs of bugs at all..strange?

You're supposed to spray them when the lights are going off, spray while the light is on and the droplets act as magnifying glass for the light.
