400 watt medical hydro grow

Alright so this is my frist time growing with any hydro system. I'm using an 18 gal bucket with a 135 gph pond pump and a few micro sprayers. I'm using General Hydroponics three part. So far I haven't run into any problems. Any comments or advice are welcome.

So one of my fan leaves started to turn black around the edges. Now its spreading on that leaf. Any ideas what this is and how i can fix it?

I think it was some fungus I got some anti fungicide stuff and sprayed them that was after i cut off the part of the fan leave that was heavily dying. They seem to be doing good now.

ok so it's been a little since i updated. My plant is about 26 inches tall and looking great. I just put it into the flower room and started my two new clones I got. i built another dwc bucket but i made this one different then my last. My two new clones are bubba kush and gdp.

So I just built my own homemade cooltube and it seems to be keeping the temps down about 10 degrees cooler then it was before.

I bought an 11.5 inch hurricane glass from Michaels for $3.50 on sale from $6
10 ft roll of 3/4 in hanging metal strap from Home Depot for $2.50
1 roll of insulating pipe wrap tape from Home Depot for $6
1 3-5 in hose clamp from Home Depot for $1.50

I started by taking off the reflector from my ballast. Then I cut four 5 inch strips from the metal hanging strap and screwed them on to my socket where the reflector was previously screwed to it. Then I wrapped some insulating tape around the end of the hurricane glass where the socket was going to be attatched to. I then bent those strips to allow it to hang over the end of the hurricane glass with the metal strips resting on the insulating tape. Then I used the hose clamp to tighten down around the insulating tape the the metal strips so it wouldn't move. Then I was good to go just hooked the other end up to some ducting and put an inline fan in there.

So my big mazar has been in flower for 2 and a half weeks now. it's 3 feet tall and climbing fast. She looks really healthy and is sucking up nutes at 1620 ppm with no nute burn.

The last picture is of my other dwc thats still in veg. I just put the grape x romulan clone in there 2 days ago (the one in the lower left of the pic). I'm gonna wait about another week or two and then put those in the flower room.

Here's some pics of the root mass.

those are some insane roots.

Ya and the h202 has been helping keep them nice and white and healthy

OMG HIII im growing mazar i didnt think anyone else on here was. Check out my blog https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/335071-first-time-growing-ever-well.html nice setup btw is that air from the lamp going outside? Where did you get the bulb and base for it? Im glad to see your post love to see how my plants are going to look please keep updating your pics. I wanna see what kinda buds they are going to produce. https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/335071-first-time-growing-ever-well.html

Hey I checked out your grow it looks good. Ya that ducts the air right out my window to the outside. I'm just using the base that came with my light from htg supply its a 400Watt HPS. I made the cooltube myself. Here's a couple pics I snapped real quick.

Just took some pictures with the lights on so i made the color weird to help see it but you can see how massive its becoming. I put in three other plants into the flower room today as well. I also took 4 clones today and one last week. Ill take some pictures in the morning when the lights go off.

Ok here's some pics right after the lights went off

I'm at 4 and a half weeks of flower on my mazar and the buds are bulking up nicely now. This thing just looks like a crazy bush. My other three plants are at one week flowering as of today and I am starting to see some budding.

My mazar is now just past 5 weeks and shes getting nice and plump.

yesterday was 6 weeks of flowering. The colas are getting fatter the main cola is almost the size of a corn on the cob.

so Wednesday will be the end of 8 weeks. I just changed out my res and am starting my flush. I can't wait to chop this bad boy some of these colas are swelling up so fat and they smell so sweet.

Just harvested my top cola today which is 9 weeks on the dot today.
