My 2nd real DWC grow

Hey guys so I just signed up & love this forum
This is my 1st time actually making a post & 2nd time officially trying DWC.
My 1st plant died because of a Cal/Mag defency & no ppm meter lol

Ive learned from many mistakes & now have 3 lushes plants all different strains

Im growing the following Strains (All Feminized)

Big Bang (Indica)
Strawberry Blue (Satavia)
Hawaiian Skunk Haze (Indica)

And currently waiting on a Purple Haze Strain from Europe.
(should be here with-in 5-10 days, will start a new post for that grow)


Equiment
I have a Galaxy switchable Ballast 400/600/1000wt
Im using a Sun System Yield Master 11-4 Classic Light Reflector
400 watt MH Bulb
3 Black Buckets w/Grownets
Rock Wool/Lava Rocks
Air pumps w/4inch stones

Botanicare Brand Nutrients
Cal/Mag
Pure Blend Pro (Veg Formula)
Liquid Karma (Veg/Tran/Bloom)

PH, PPM & Temp
my Ph level is 5.5-6
I keep my PPM at 600
(250 Cal/Mag & 350 split among other nutes)
Im using a TDS-3 PPM Meter to monitor levels
My room temp is at 75-80 degrees
Im using 1 wall Mountable fan to circulate the air

I started this grow (germinated) at the end of May around June 1st.
Plants are now over a foot tall & im training them to bush

I really want to scrog them at 2feet & start monster topping

These are the plants on June 15th

This is the plants on June 26th

This is them as of today June 30th

For my cloning/rooting & early veg stage area Ill be using (4) T12 4ft 6500k 60wt Cool lights along with the Clonex start up package.

Looking real good, probabally gonna have a set-up veeery similar to yours!! Are those 3.5 gal. or 5 gal. buckets?

I'm using 5 gallon buckets and RO water from walmart.

The Haiwaiin Skunk Haze is the large bushy strain to the left...the Big Bang is the small bushy strain in the middle and the strawberry blue is to the right

you're doin great dude, keep up the good work
i was always interested in botanicare nutes.. looks like they are working just fine, lol

Your setup looks great!

I'm planning on using Humboldt Grow, Micro, and Bloom Nutrients. It's gonna be a great summer for us new growers. Cheers!

@DarthBlazeAnthony your set up looks real dope too! i need to get a an air filter and a some more equipment also.

@TheGreenHornet thanks! and yeah they work great bro

Getting ready for these clones & other strains Ill be getting very soon.

So im no longer using the T12s any more. I went to the store and seen the T5s in actions and didnt know what I was thinking trying to use those haha so Im switching over and getting the T5s 54watt a bulb (4 bulb Ballast) and getting 2 of them so I have about 400 watts for Germinating & Early Veg.

a most excellent decision

Plan on adding more plants? LST/supercrop maybe even scrog and you can tetris in a lot of plants in a small space. Also keep an eye on your roots, remember white is right and try and keep the water temp around 60-78F with lots of bubbles. Looking great though
