    I'm trying to locate some clones nearby so that I can test the system with some other strains more quickly but when WA changed the laws around they stopped all the farmers markets and stuff that were going on. Now getting seeds or clones seems like it is black market again.

    My first grow seems to be going south?

    The only thing I can think of to do is to get some clear plastic sheeting to try to keep the rain off. Those look like they have at least a month to me.

    I actually got the tank and filter system for free from the side of the road. The stand was trash and the tank is starting to separate at the top in the back. I supported that with wood all the way around my stand, not sure it will work but it has been doing well so far. The tank has both red...

    Hey, I'm in Kent, WA and have been getting my aquaponic system going. I currently have two strains (Strawberry Daquiri and Silver AK) that I got from thegreenpool.net but I'm looking for access to local seeds. Here are pictures of my two plants so far. This one was soil/aquaponics and was...

    My first grow seems to be going south?

    Those plants look good but I would definitely be worried about running out of time. I'm growing some aquaponics in my garage in Kent, Wa. I got my seeds from thegreenpool.net and the one female I had was great smoke! Are you getting clones or growing these from seed?

    I have 2x 600w Galaxyhydro LED lights that are being used for two larger plants in soil that are in a closet. They were originally outside but I planted them too late so I had to bring them in and they got the bigger lights. So, the next plants to go in this will actually have at least twice as...

    I kind of feel like I got this aquaponic thing figured out now. This female is growing entirely in the aquaponics and has been since shortly after it got the second set of leaves. I topped her once and she used to be under a 600w Galaxyhydro LED but I moved that to a closet for two other plants...

    After all of that was dried and jarred I decided to move my operation into the garage. I built a stand for my 125 gallon aquarium and switched to watering for the first, third, tenth and twelfth hours that the lights are on. Since reducing the pump time to these four hours the plants seem to be...

    You can see that the clones I bought were stunted from root burn. My failure to be reasonable when setting up my system. I haven't messed up anything without thinking I was totally right LOL.

    This is the one that started in soil and the roots are now into the aquaponics. It was really an accident, I wanted the soil one to compare to the AP and the AP was a male. With these small water quantities you would definitely want to start with no more than 2 fish. That was probably my biggest...

    I will be updating this in a few. Here is a teaser.

    Well, it will give me seeds so that is valuable. But yeah, not worth the hassle of going through everything. Silverarm32 on Youtube is not growing small plants like mine at all!

    Also, I think the volcanic stone was a terrible idea. I'm not 100% sure on that but that is my guess. Once this female is done budding I am going to move that tent out and build a new desk in my office that supports a water reservoir. Not 100% what I will use yet but maybe a 55 gallon drum.

    It has been a long time since I updated this but the AP plant was female and I used the male to bring her to seed. She is looking good and smells really delicious!

    I'm really unfamiliar with growing...anything lol. I have been relying on a couple I know that managed a banana farm in Hawaii in the 80s for all of my growing questions. So far, I have added a mound of Happy Frog 5-5-5 fertilizer that must be getting in the water and I haven't seen ill...

    I think that would be perfect! The IBC containers are what I think are the cheapest and easiest to convert. All you need to do is cut the top off and build your bell siphon into the lid, flip the top up side down for a grow bed and use the remainder of the container for your fish. I think the...
