Hey guys, first growth hydro, check em out, in my limited opinion they look healthy, what do you think? Started with some bagseed, then ordered Ice strand. Anyone tried Ice by the way?

The little yellow you see is because I had a slight accident, the way I figure first growth is when you learn how to avoid them later. What happened is that I left old water for far too long, I think nute burned the lower leaves and they started to yellow. However, once water was changed, fresh nutrients added, it's been growing vigorously. The stalk got so thick, it looks like tree bark, makes me so happy!

I had an 400HPS, but something happened, ballast just buzzes and no light comes on, so reduced to CFL for now, should be getting the HPS issue fixed within a couple of days. Also tried some bagseed growing in soil, but not as successful, hydro has been the best easily.

DYI hydro bucket system, aireated, HP at 6, temp 75, humidity 50-60. Using GH nutes, Micro, Gro and Bloom. Any suggestions? Any advice welcome! One of the plants (pic6) has a droopy tendency, he's been maltreated as a youngling (my own inexperience) and was stretched and droops often, leaves have become huge and the rest haven't caught up yet, but he's been bouncing back!!

Also, I believe one started showing sex and I think it's a fem! Pic 4 has a closeup, am I right? White pistils

Anyway, here are some pics!! First 5 pics is my oldest growth, I started another 2 weeks after the first. The last 2 are of my newest batch.

Not yet but it is a strand I have read about and it looks interesting....

How long did you leave the water in? Do you think its bad to laeve the water in for two weeks?

I think the droopy one just slightly poorer genetics... Its bag seed you know it could be anything.

I don't think you can tell yet? but maybe its just the picture but that looks like leaf buds... did you start flowering yet?

Thanks man, I'm thinking about 6-7 weeks before I take a taste, but will perhaps go as high as 8-9. Ice is high sativa, so 9 weeks should be tops.

Those look terrific man, frickin' canna-bushes! Those stems look like trunks.... TREE trunks. :)
Yeah man thanks, I freaking love how thick the stalks are, don't look like plants stalks more like tree trunks, yeah! It's got bark and everything.

I tried soil as well, but the results I get with hydro are far superior, things just thrive in it. My girlfriend even tried putting some flowers in there, the damn things shot up so high it was growing into the light, had to replant them in the yard hehe.

Has anyone tried Ice strand? I hear it's a good strand, high THC content, but was wondering if any experienced smokers tried it.

Very nice.....they look very healthy.....watch it though. If you veg them to long you will have some monster plants by the time you flower them a couple of months.

Better put them into flower soon or you won't have room to grow. Those are going to overgrow your space and then your younger plant will suffer.
