Northern Lights First Grow Hydroponic

[smhsmichael]

Yeah, EBB i would say fuck it... I would start easy with DWC (Deep water Culture) Its A LOT better!!!! EBB is VERY hard to regulate you PPM and PH. DWC I wish i had listen to every one sooner, It gets GREAT results good roots and everything goes very well, You need some good air pumps, some good air stones and nutes, And you will be VERY happy!

Totally agree. Dwc is super easy. Definately my recommendation for all new growers

Experiences can differ. My DWC grow was plagued with unstable pH and root rot; I never completed it. If I did it now, I suspect I would not have any of those problems, because I use different nutes now (completely inorganic), have much more aeration in my res and am much more experienced, but I think DWC is more prone to problems from operator error than flood and drain. But, as you say, good aeration and good nutes are key.

Found out that #2 was a hermie - Sad moment, rest are looking good though, trying to get like a G of bud from #2 lol, not sure if it will even have any THC content, but it also doubles as a drying experience.


Got everyones res change, few got a hair cut and one got cut down.
Also changed up the room a little bit, added a new fan blowing downwards and put the ballast in the actual room.

Also, a CFL lamp on the left side of the closet was added.


PICS.

Not sure what you mean, but we chopped him out, dried what very little nugs where there, but I am not sure if I am answering or replying to your statement correctly...

my bad man i was a little buzzed. but i meant hermaphrodites can produce smokable buds. the quality would be lower than that of sinsemilla (females without seeds) but being a hermaphrodite doesnt automatically limit a plant to inferrior quality. i can almost garentee seeds but why it hermed and what u do next determines the quality. if it hermed from genetics it still has potential to produce great bud. but most plant herm under stressfull conditions. then they are cut down and dried prematurely and people over look that when they smoke them. if u correct these conditions (if thats the case) its possible to recover depending on how far u r into flower and the strain. but be warned that a hermaphrodite can pollenate ur entire crop. and simply seperating them may reduce the treat a little, but will by no means elleminate it. the only way to do so would be isolating the girls from the herms and filtering the air coming from the herms. the added work is y most people simply discard them. but a fully mature and properly maintained hermaphrodite can have a lot of potential.. that is, if u want to grow some out........ my brain hurts now

dudude did u harevest yet? and how much did u get

 

[W N L]

No harvest yet, had to cut 1 plant down , got it drying now due to lack of room. Will let you know what we got from her.

Had to crop a week (ish) early... Came in and they were hanging sideways. The fan hit them over night and nocked the one loose causing it to fall on the other.

Covered in resin, looks and smells great, actually the one plant smells like fruit loops for some reason, either way, its great.. Here are some shots.

Estimate on dry weight?

Dont yell because of the not 1/2 amber hairs, I really was trying to keep them alive for as long as possible but a bad case of root bacteria really made it an early harvest.
