Welcome to my grow. It is currently in veg only. I plan to go with a perpetual harvest, similar to Al B. Fuct. I lack Capitol Investment, so one thing at a time.

My box is 2x4x4

I am currently using twin tube 4 Ft. Floros. One Ott-Lite Pro from Home Depot, the other an AgroSun Full Spectrum. It is doing for now, until I can get a light mover to attach my 400w HPS, and keep it moving. Lights are on 18/6.

I am using Stealth Hydroponics Bubblers, with a few Hempy Buckets to the side.

They are currently being fed.

Any advice would be appreciatted. This is my second grow. So I am new, but I am not that bad neither, lol.

I am dealing with somewhat high temps, I really can't do anything about. Currently my ambient room temp is 78*. My veg box is 82* an average daytime temp. I have a 6in. ex duct fan. And 3 1 1/2in. holes for passive intake.

Medium-

I am using grorocks around RW grocubes, in my bubbler tanks. And Perlite around RW Cubes in Hempy Buckets.

Bunch of little things done today.
Temp/Hum.- 80*-65%
Both Hempy Buckets were transplanted today, as I want to cut back on watering. If I wanted to water I would have stuck with soil, lol. Big difference from my 8 gallon res. bubblers. Still love the Hempy though. I may keep hempy moms, and the rest as usual.
Smaller hempy in sprite bottle is Ice. Bigger Hempy is my mystery strain (Northern Lights hybrid with something) I fimed my mystery hempy today as well.
Tank- I topped my biggest plant (mystery), and my sour d seedling. Mystery is an all clone strain, confirmed female from one original seed. And the sour d is possibly a dad. The tank was topped with 1G of water with 2 Tsp. L.E. Vigor 1 Tbsp. BC Grow 1 Tbsp. BC Thrive Alive, which is similar or the same as SuperThrive. Ph after tank was mixed looks like 6.1 (It is in the picture with nutes, I have dipsticks and it was between 6.0-6.2).

Lol at the condom in the trash,dude empty the can.do you have any meters??i grew for 1yr without and wasted what a good ppm meter would cost not to mention the burnt plants those strips are no where near where what cha need ph is very critical when it comes to the amount of nutes your plant can take.most named brand nutes are ph buffered but using the grodan cubes you will get ph rise if light starts hittingem spend the money now dont wait it will only cost you in the long run.LITTLE HIGH ON THE PH WHATS PPM??ALSO YOU NEED TO COVER THOSE CUTTINGS LIGHT HITTING THE CUBES IS GONNA GET YOU IN A PH BATTLE

I know, long night, lol. I only have the strips and no TDS meter, I eventually want it, but first on my list are a Cool Tube, then 600 W HPS. Those meters are so expensive. Expensive to a broke guy. When I first set up, I spent hundreds on all my shit. Under 1000, over 500. I know its not a lot, but I'm trying to get back some first to ya know. All the money I made on last run, only paid rent on my place now, and helped me to build my box. Do you have a link to a cheaper one?

I am scared to fuck with the PH and fuck it up, I usually let it be and it stays in that neighborhood. I figure 6.0 6.1 is close to 5.8, but would you say I should be shooting for 5.5

How do you recommend to cover the cuttings? I'm sure that could explain why they are taking to long to root. Did you notice the air hose I put in the bowl to try and step it up.

The light destined for that box. Floros lack the punch that I need. I could look right into the floros, try that with an HPS. You will go blind, lol.

First thing u shoulda left the wrapper on em???second y dont u putem in the emptyholes on the box right bye them??and put more of the hydrotron are the damn round balls i went blank that will cover them fine like the other box???what is the temp where your trying to clone they like it warmer than your growroom thats why it takes so long to root those tubs you got i can make pump and all for about 30 bucks i have oakton meters and they were about 150 for both u can get a cheap ph pen for 30 bucks.it wont last but it will make one harvest then u can get ones where you can change out the probes and not buy the hole meter.im here to help lets get the ball rolling u need to clone where its warm like 80 r above but below 90 and use a humidifier with the clones i use 2 43 watt cfls for cloning works great what kinda light setup u have now??5.5 IS GOOD TO START LET IT RISE TO ABOUT 5.9 THEN PH DOWN,BUT U CANT GET THAT WITH THOSE STRIPS TRUST ME BUY A PH METER. YOU CAN WING THE PPM ARE IDID WITH A GOOD NUTE LIKE DM JUST CHANGE THE RES EVERY 2 WEEKS.YOU KNOW NOTHING WITHOUT A PPM METER WHETHER THERE USING NUTES ARE WATER AND CANNOT MAXIMIXE YOUR YIELDS WITHOUT ONE.

I dont use the submersible pump i just water from the top till the roots hit the nutes.i also have upgraded to a dual airpump and use the biggest stones that will fit dont glue them down make a clamp because u will have to change themout after awhile they get stopped up.

ok, bad habit, I always take the wrapper off. Here on out, Ill start leaving them. I even used to dunk them without the wrapper till I figured they only stay square if you dunk them with the wrapper, lol. The only reason, I havn't dropped them in the tank, is cause, there is I think 9 clones in the bowl, and 6 spaces in the tank. I only want to put my best 6 in there, and honestly I wanted to have one tank just with my mystery strain. Which right now is the best shit that I have. Any thing extra, from the clone bowl I plan to put in hempy buckets. Until I set up something more pro.

I definantly will look into the meter, I personally hate those strips myself. If you come across a good cheap one online, send me a link.

My average Temp/ Humid. in that box is 80*/ 65%. Should be good? I could put a dome over my clone bowl to raise humidity. Everything you see came out of those original soil pots, minus two seedlings, through the same method. It's just not working fast as I am.

I am currently using twin tube 40W Floro.s One AgroSun 6500K Full Spectrum and another OttLite not sure of temp. I want to put my 400 HPS in there Asap.

Why don't you use the pump? I feel that when tanks are getting lower, it allows for it by keeping the top to bottom wet. I don't want to top the tanks all the time, cause then it will be like soil.

Just like BC- did the bloom box and claim fully automated.

I want my grow to be as automated as possible. The hempy buckets are not part of that plan. They are part of the poor mans way out plan.

Be Back Soon.

you can run the pump i do. yes it keeps the roots that are in the hydrotron moist.

Thanks Mane, good to see you here. Thanks for the support. Hopefully, I'll start bloom in 2-3 more weeks. I want to get the other tank filled with clones. Then all the left overs in Hempys. I'll continue to clone the bottom shoots for clones in hempys, since I only take up half the box with those two tanks. I had bought 2 more rubbermaids, accidently too big. I may turn one into a bud dryer and the other is good for when I have to clean my tanks, I can drop it on top.

How are your original manifolds? Both of mine clogged up and I couldn't get the top off. (???) I bought two 9 port manifold from Home Depot, they came with stoppers so I stopped 3 ports each, and they work great. The tops open real easy and the filter pulls right out.

I used a pin to unstop mine it had 6 holes it was a stealth hydro.i place my grodan cubes on the bottom therfore almost all roots are under the pot not in it,so the pump has no use ive done it for 2 yrs and it works fine.you might not want to but if you grow more than 3 plants in there you gonna have to add water alot between res changes the plants drink alot of water depending on conditions.i only grow 4 in mine and use the others for service holes.i have better luck cloning in a closet cause my grow room gets down to 60 with a/c cranking,this keeps my res cool and u want a cool water temp like 65 to 68 mine gets up to about 72 with my lights on and im running dual 400hps with hortiluxeye bulbs,one was a gift ive got a 600 digi coming.did i miss something about a light rail??? Your talking about a space bigger than what u said confused on the light rail???ARE YOU ADDING NUTES WHEN YOU TOP THE TANK OFF??IM WITH ALB ON THIS DONT.....IF ITS USED MORE THAN HALF DO A CHANGE DONT ADD NUTES,REASON BEING YOU DONT KNOW WHAT NUTES THEY HAVE USED,I DIDNT SEE EYE TO EYE TILL ALBFUCT EXPLAINED IT TO ME.MANES GOING FOR THE RECORD 950 POST IN 12 DAYS YOU GO BOY.
