Yeah i made mine so that the air gets filtered a little through the water like what happens with a bong

The only thing i can see being a problem with flowas grow would be the nutes schedule.
Other then that it kinda looks like just simple maintenance and cleaning of the system.
The feeding is all done on a timer so hopefully no chance of over or under watering if i do it all correctly

Cool mate, well let us know if she works hey! I'd be keen to try it out if it works

Flowa does make it look pretty easy man but if you reckon you can pull it off we're here to help diagnose any dramas if they arise

im having a hard enough time trying to pull off what ive currenty got lol.
i think im going to do flowas hydro grow on one and a soil based grow in another pot.
if i put all my eggs in on basket with the hydro then i might fuck it up and gt nothing for two months work lol, at least this way i can learn with the hydro set up and still get a yield out of my soil grow if my hydro fucks up
and ive also seen a few ebay packages with a 400w bulb. so that should be able to handle two plants easy

Yeah cool man, at least you'll have the soil one just in case! A 400w will work perfectly in your tent too

That light kit is a good price dude. Just make sure you upgrade the bulb and get either a son t agro or a sunmaster dual spectrum!

gigathnx · Dec 23, 2012

thier bulbs no good? if thats the case ill just try and get everything seperate instead of a package. no point buying it if im not going to use those lights lol

Beyond small for Day 18. Here are mine when they were 18 days old. I think the issue is in your soil, what the fuck is that? Also looks a little light green, probably a nitrogen deficiency, probably due to your soil.

gigathnx · Dec 23, 2012

lol yea mine is really small!
my soil is COCO, so theres a mix between fine coco with some larger strains in there with a few perlite rocks and some other rocks. nice airy mix as far as i figured. :/

Yeah they're rubbish hey! I think they're growlush or some no name brand...useless mate. See if he'll upgrade to a son t or sunmaster hps and you'll be laughin!!

i agree about the coco dude, ive never used it but from what i read its pretty innert meaning it needs constant watering and nutes...i could be talkin out my ass though :lol:

nice journal, I'll subscribe to it.

I don't know much about coco, but was pretty sure you don't add all that, it looks like a mess. The problem with coco is there are no nutes, which explains your N deficiency. Go with like 1/8 to 1/4 strength of nutes and see how she responds after 48 hours.

or...just change the soil...less pain in the arss and less worries and chemicals involved

Coco is a bad idea for a first grow, he should just start with a 50/50 topsoil/perlite mix.

I've transplanted it into a bigger bucket and soil now.
New seeds should be here any day now and I'll be going soil for them. See how i go with that, so i figured i may as well transplant the mig-29 and see how she goes

Well she is gonna take a good week or more to recover from the transplant and the deficiency. After that she should stat to increase her growth rate.

gigathnx · Dec 24, 2012

sounds good, hopefully that is the case

Good shit dude, hopefully it picks up now hey :-)

gigathnx · Dec 25, 2012

yea fingers crossed lol, she doesnt look to bad, leaves are pointing up but she is still yellow :/ itll take some time but im really hoping she pulls through
itll be an interesting smoke if i can get her going

eastcoastmo · Dec 26, 2012

Its a good sign if the leaves are pointing upwards

she should be good in a few days!

gigathnx · Dec 27, 2012

Still awaiting seeds, in hoping my mate gets the Durban Poison seeds in, they have been waiting under "Received and awaiting clearance for delivery" for a few days now!
If nothing comes in a week or two i might order Dr Grinspoon cause it looks whack as fuck and interesting to grow Haha

On another note one of the first set of leaves is starting to die? The rest of the plant is looking good aside from that. I think I'm just denying the inevitable. She is going to die again Haha
Jeez i suck at this, but I'm having fun and learning at the same time.
Can only get better each attempt
