The 1L Hydro Gro Competition

lol.. quite the interesting competition...
i didnt read every page, im too lazy.

makes me want to go take a clone, it's a damn shame i'd be quite late though.

i think i can take you KP

And so it begins... white widow clone, freshly cut. i'm being bold, since it's possible this cutting may not root - but i bet it will. unfortunatly no matter what i've done in the past this specific white widow takes a miniumum of 10 days to root, so it will take some time before i can officially say i'm in this and going to kick your ass. Am i the only other to post pics of this?

nah...go back a couple of pages....ngt, myself, and kp's plant torture system.

Yeah i just scanned through, It wont be hard to win, if winning is only finishing, finishing a plant is easy. 1 litre is enough, especially in hydro. but the ghettoness of this will be fun, i built mine with shit i had lying around in about 5 minutes.

Hahahahaha..

You are all so far ahead of me. I do not even have my supplies yet. I do have my clone going though. No roots showing yet though. I am swaeting this. I do not think I can have my hydro-fall built in time.
I have 5 days until my buddy gets back from AZ with my marble. But I can put a piece of bent metal in it's place.


I need to ask again. can the roots hang out of the 1 liter area?

I can do this either way... At least i think I can. But I need to know. I want to have my roots hanging in an underground tunnel with nuts flowing on them.

no if your roots are out of the container they are getting extra space.

am i the only one doing this from seed???

damn...

yeah i think so, i'm thinking using a cutting, but should use the new seeds i got.

what strain is everyone using

I have ww#5, and Icee seedlings right now
and some other good genetics.
I also have my unknown cuttings but there good genetics.

i have no idea the genetics of mine... it came from a friends indo flower room though, so i know it has good genes!

whats better perlite or grow rocks???

I got all mine from friends.

what kinda hydro you doin?

I thought about sealing it also. But I am afraid that the corrosiveness of some of the nuts might brake it down. Guess I could look for a corrosive resistant sealant.

hay LDB hows it going well i hop your water fall works out good i was thinking about how you can seal the bambo if you go to a bodyshop and ask for a pint of clearcoat all mixed up that would work it would take years befor the nuts would brake it down and it will only cost you like $15 bucks and for the bambo i was driveing around the other day and saw some in peoples back yards mybe someones is growing it in your area in there back yard and they my give you some scine it grows like a weed most people would be glad to get rid of it

... its growing... =]=]=]


you have to understand my excitement...

this is my first attempt at hydro ever (i kinda just jumped in the water, we'll see if i sink or swim)
i have no mother plant, i'm starting from seed
i have no rockwool, peetpuck, root riot cube, nothing
i'm using a sponge instead
while germing, i accidentally snapped off the tip of my taproot (i swear kp, not trying to cheat, just trying to get the root from growing up... i promise!!!)

but
these plants are resilient!!!
i added some rooting hormone after i did that, just to help it out a bit, and the root has grown quite a bit since the little accident, now hanng into the water!!!

i need a different air stone though... the one i have isn't working quite right for me... i think i want the air curtain thing...

oh
please someone let me know, starting from seed in hydro, how long can i go without a feeding?
i have no extra money till the 10th, and no hydro food...
any input?

most people do not feed nuts for the first week or two.


Old442,
Good idea on the Automotive. Only bad think is, if i use that, I will have to wax it once a month...

in hydro you need to feed. that seedling will not live on plain water for too long, probobly not past the first set of leaves.

i hope i can make it!!!

Russor, did you get any roots yet?

nah.. my strain takes about 10-12 days to root, it will be awhile.

did you paint that thing? Or cover it up?

yes, it will be covered in removable black plastic.
