My 1st Hydro setup done entirely by myself - did do a few for friends, though just the building part.
Genetics.
The 3 Critical + clones were taken from plants in soil that were already flowering for a few weeks (no choice).
The setup is a small air pump with two outlets and a styrofoam box, probably 4 gallon or so. I'm using two 3 inch pots and one 4 inch pot.
Rooting.
The clones were rooted in gro dan 1.5 inch rooting cubes for not quite long enough (it turns out) and could've used 3-4 days more to get really long roots. However, as the move was into a similar setup it didn't seem to matter too much.
Nutrients.
Started out with a bit of Clonex and Super Thrive and too much A + B.
A locally bought no name hydro solution.
Now I only use the A + B and I've upped it to almost 600ppm, up from under 300ppm to 450ppm or so. There's also some anti root rot powder of sorts in there, though not much, as well as still some Super Thrive, though very little now.
They had a bit of burn from the first water I made for them with 500ppm+, which is why I'm going fairly low, though now upping it a bit by bit again.
Once it's time to flower I'm changing to GH MaxiBloom.
Problems.
So far not any real problems, except the inter nodal spacing on these girls is incredibly short in my opinion, making it hard to get clones of a decent size.
