I guess this is still technically my first grow since I kept one plant from my original 6 seeds I ordered online. 5 of which I sprouted, planted, then died cause I didn't know what the hell I was doing. But I kept 1 in my closet at home and went mad scientist on it... It was a strain called Hawaiian Maui Waui from Sativa Seedbank. The one plant I kept, the mother plant, I took 12 clones from before it got to big for my closet and had to set her out to flower. She is on her sixth week of flower now, and she is looking good! At first I put my clones directly into pete pellits, but on my second and third round of clones I made a little bubbler, which worked much faster.
As for the rest of the clones I decided to make self watering containers for them, using two 5 gallon buckets, a 4''x3 1/2'' pot (which happens to be the exact depth of home depot buckets converted to SWC), and a pvc pipe. The reservoir holds just over a gallon of nutrient water, and maybe a half gallon in the soil alone... Also I am using Foxfarm soil and nutes. I put 8 out in some sugarcane, gave two away, and experimented with the other 2 which died as a result.
I was hesitant at first about using SWC cause I read they wouldnt produce ideal conditions for cannabis, but I wanted something, and they seem to be working fine. So far I've put 6 out, and 2 are still vegging in the containers at my home. I topped 2 of them (the ones I gave away), and fimmed the rest of them before I put them outside. I couldn't really figuar out the whole fimming thing, so they just ended up stretching out, but they look good!
So far, I've only had to fill the reservoirs up every 1 1/2 to 2 weeks.
Here are some pictures of what I have going on... in no particular order.....
