MY FIRST RUN with this setup https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/427960-my-first-grow-journal.html

Some of the basics..
8x4 Flowering tent .. 2000 watts air cooled hoods ..
FFOF SOIL + 20% perlite
GH NUTES with a couple experimental house&garden fed plants

Well I guess I should start with a recap of the last go around.. for the people who didnt follow along.. Pulled close to 3lbs.. Im at 2.7 lbs with a WW hanging around that I put in late.. should be done soon .. I dont pick my strains for MAX YIELD .. I do enjoy a good yield but it is not what determines what I grow ..

My sig has the link to my last grow if you guys wanna see how it went.. i had lots of hiccups.. but overall I am very pleased how it ended up.. I had a run in with Root aphids.. Powdery Mildew... Mites.. you name it.. I was lucky enough to not have any major setbacks from the problems... mostly because Im off work till september So whenever the lights were on .. I was with my girls and caught things early ..

Here are the 3 girls I have in the tent as of today

White Widow.. She was put in during the first round .. along with a querkle .. when I did some rearranging .. She went in to 12/12 on 5/24.

Here she is when I put her in .. Just a 16 approx clone.. untopped obviously ...


And tonight ...




The other 2 girls went in on June 22nd... these I put in right when I pretty much finished my first round harvest...

Alien OG when she went in ...


Couple weeks after:


And this is as of tonight :)...





LAST BUT NOT LEAST.. this is the Purple Kush I put in at the same time as the Alien OG on June 22nd

The night she went in...



Couple weeks later ...


As of tonight ( looking a little faded.. I just started to taper off her nutes because she looks like she is finishing early.. this is the first time I have flowered this strain.. but she's a pure indica.. so im guessing 50days ...





This makes me current as of tonight... I have these 3 girls under 1 light .... I have 9 others ready to go in the Veg closet.. Ill prob put em in within the week... I will post updates then.. I will be running 4 Alien Og 2 Hindu Kush 2 Purple Kush .. and a Laughing Buddha (14 week Pheno.. SO she will be in there a WHILE LOL)

Plan is .. Im going to get these 9 girls in the tent this week.. then Im gonna start vegging 2 clones in bubble buckets... and put them in when the Alien OG and the Purple Kush that are both about 40 days in right now finish ..... So I should have a update of starting some clones in hydro pretty soon... I feel sorry for these clones .. poor experimental deep water culture guinea pigs lol.

Well you do rock your soil grows but........The buckets are a very temping mistress.......ahhhhhhhhh....add a little H&G aqua flakes, a little roots excelurator, stir gently and "voila"....huge amounts of dankness....You may now live " Happily Ever After"....

Those pictures are exactly how my leaves look, only burnt on the tips.

But your plants look crisper!
I think this is the first time I've seen the purple kush too, props on that one budddddy.

Steez that plant was started on june 22nd.. so I think its a little farther along then yours too.. I already started flushing it pretty much.. cus it looks like its gonna be a short strain.... they call that the perfect burn....lol.. might just be a result of me being greedy with how close I have the new hood to the tops of the plants lol

I feel like it is easier than soil. It's a lot less guess work on what is going on. That bubble setup, is it a bubbleponics (Pics?)?

no DWC.. just using some air stones I had.. Homedepot buckets.. some net pots.. and I was donated some expanded clay rocks..( hydro store owner asked me to try them for him.. and gave me a big bag :).. so this experiment is gonna cost about 6 bucks lol... Had everything already but the net pots. I will use my GH nutes.. I have some seeweed and Beni Fungi .. that the hydro store also donated to me.. guess my constant spending is appreciated there...
