Hello everyone,

I'm just finishing my 1st grow which went better than I ever could have imagined so now it's time for round 2. Unfortunately I didn't take any clones from my 1st grow so I'm starting with seeds again. My 6 seedlings were planted on 6/17/08 so they're 15 days old today (3 Blueberry & 3 Masterkush). Here's what I'm working with:

3' x 3' Tray Over 20-Gallon Reservior (Botanicare)
20lb Co2 Bottle & Regulator (HydroFarm)
(2) Clip-On 6" Oscillating Fans
Air-Pump & Large Air-Stone
Digital PPM & PH Meters
Carbon Filtered Exhaust

Nutes:
Flora Nova Grow
Flora Nova Bloom
Kool Bloom Liquid
Floralicious

Seeds:
Dutch Passion Seeds: Feminised Blueberry
Dutch Passion Seeds: Feminised Masterkush

Stats:
Water PH: 5.8
Water PPM: 221 (raising it in a few days)
Room Temp: Current 79.2 - High 82.6 - Low 74.8
Humidity: 38%
Light Schedule: 20/4
Feeding: twice a day

Misc:
Only bottled distilled water will be used.


Here are the only 3 pics I've taken so far, I'll post updates often. Feel free to post questions or comments....

I didn't have any problems with the ebb & flood, it worked very well. I think it will be easier with the drip line when it comes to moving the plants around when ones getting blocked by another. It was a pain in the ass to shuffle the smaller plants from the outside of the tray to the inside when it's just rockwool because you mess up the roots but having them in the pots I can move them all I want without hurting them at all.

Sweet lil setup, i had the same setup as you, just the 2x2 tray size. I choice to go soil my first round, instead of the drip hydro. I think I am gonna start using that now that I have much more knowledge on hydro from months of research. lol. I'll check your first grow and catch up. But I'll be tuned. Cheers. You can check my first grow, just about to start week three of flowering tomorrow. I haven't figured out how to add a link to my signature. Cheers.

yup...thats how I started my last grow and that's also exactly what I just got done doing was disconnecting the drip line set-up because I don't think they were getting an even amount of water and I know the flood works. I'll try the drip when I get better. I'm leaving them in the pots the way I have them and simply switching back over to ebb & flood.

thanks bro, I moved those 2 pics to my other journal. I can't wait to give the skunk a try and you better hurry up & get to town if you wanna sample all of my strains, I SMOKE ALOT AND THEY'RE GOING FAST!!!..LOL. Here's a pic of the table flooded. At least now I know all of the plants are getting the same amount of water. I'll read up more on drip systems and maybe try it out on round 3...
