First Grow! 2 1000 watt hps over king kush, purple kush and ak-47

soil bro, get started on soil then it wont be hard to switch to dro since you'll know most of the basics. im not bagging on dro but its just harder to get ahang of it if your new to growing. since your banging 2000 watts mistakes mean money lost. in soil its alot more forgiving. just advice, take it how you want it.

I agree, soil is easier to get your feet wet with. Costs shit loads less too.

Hydro sure can put a new spin on growing. Personally, I started out with hydro, and after 3 failed attempts. I finally have my shit down to where I am now pretty far into flowering now with good results.

Out of town for a bit but came home to see some nice growth on the plants. The purple kush and king kush are both very dense plants so you can't really get a feel for how buddy they are without feeling them up. The ak-47 is going nuts with tons of fatty buds all over the place.

Also, to those recommending soil I just want to say I've found this very easy to do so far and I think I'll stick with hydro. I see what you mean on leaf curl and leaf burn and I've diluted down the res to compensate and will hold back some on week 7. Week 8 will be a total flush run and so will any days necessary after that to wait on the glands to be perfect.

I took the pest control strips out and within two days I had spider mites getting started again from old eggs hatching. Put the strips back and they were gone again.

I'll make sure I have my friend with the crazy camera come back over on harvest day so you can check out the bounty.

So unfortunately I had some problems with my AC unit and had a hot humid week leading to some minor bud rot on the really dense plants. Today I decided to go ahead and cut the king kush and purple kush and clear out all the rotted buds.

Ended up having to grind up about an ounce but that's in the oven now to kill any mold spores and prep it for making some serious bubble hash.

Here are some pics of the manicured buds hanging to dry:

Probably gonna pull the ak-47 tomorrow or wednesday morning, waiting on the the trichomes to go a little more amber.
