Hi all, I have been reading this forum for about a year now and i must say i have learned alot. this will be my third grow. The first one was some thc bomb and my last grow was ak47, they are so good, i grew them in soil 12/12 from seed and i pulled an ounce dried off one plant about a half dried and the third i got about 3/4 dried. I was most impressed with the 12 12 from seed. I will be going back to that method after i figure out hydro.
My setup is a grow tent 3x2x6 with a 400 watt mh with a cool tube and a 6" inline fan. two 8 gal buckets with holes cut in top for pots, 48" bubble wand with a 40gph airpump. Im still waiting on hydroton so i cut some slits in some foam and put each plant in there for now. I started these 7 trainwrecks in soil on 1-27-09 so that will be there b-day. on 2-19 I transplanted to hydro, I washed off all the roots as best as possible and put them in the water. The first few days they were a little droopy but looked healthy. but yesterday i noticed a clear gel like substance growing on the part of the roots that are above the water (about an inch) does anyone know what that is? and then today i noticed that on most plants the second set of leaves are yellowing, they are on there fourth set of leaves now.
as far as what i put in the res: orchid nutes 19-31-17 I use 1/4 teaspoon per gallon, smart zyme for that good bacteria and instochlor to get rid of chlorine.I set the ph for 6.4 and i dont know what water temp is yet but its gotta be in the 70's during the day. 60's at night.
ok so this morning i figured i would clean out the rez and start over so i just did that and now im waiting. here are some pics.
