My first grow....let me know what you think

These were taken from a mother, they were in veg for 8 weeks and have been in bloom for 27 days when the pics were taken.

Grown with a 432w t5 fluorescent (6500k temp) for the first 7 weeks 18/6 and then a 324w t5 fluorescent was added and bloom bulbs (2900k temp) were put in when switched to 12/12

MaxiGrow nutes were used during veg and MaxiBloom during flowering.

The daily high is 79 degrees and the low is 62 when lights are out.

I have a home made carbon scrubber that I run the exhaust through then a heat exchanger before venting out.

If you have any opinions or questions please let me know as I mentioned above this is my first time so I would love some feedback

Those buds are looking beautiful.+rep

Thanks alot widow...I have done tons of reading and watching videos but it great to hear some compliments from others. I am getting anxious to try out my hard work.

You got just at least another month.Be patient dont get too anxious you will be greatful once you harvest.Those buds will fatten up.Even tho they look sugar coated already.

yea another month is what I kinda figured maybe 3 weeks at the very least. I have heard about people harvesting too early because they get too impatient. I have put alot of time and work into these ladies, I dont plan on messing it up right at the end.
I still dont know for sure when the right time to harvest is but I imagine the ladies will tell me when the time is right. I will just do a little more reading on it when that time gets a little closer

looking good for your first time....so just think how they will turn out the 2nd time around

well i can help you with.......
how many plants do you want to do??
what kind of hydro do you want to do ebb and flow,top feed (drip) you can also do aroponics aka bubbleponics....there is a few things to think about......

Not real sure which one to start off with. I have considered everything you mentioned actually. Ebb and flow, drip, and even thought about aeroponics a little. What way do you think is the easiest and best for someone to venture into? Whatever way I go I will be building everything myself besides the pump of course and other related components.

I think at first I will do around 6 plants that way I can do half soil.....incase I mess up in the newly explored teritory.

What is the best way to clone when you are going hydro? I am familiar with cloning but only when going to soil.

Since you want to start hydro try building a dwc system.Very easy to build and cheap for everything you need.

I dont think I have heard of a dwc....I will have to do some reading on it......*opening up google now*

That system is by far the easiest and cheapest imo.just get a rubbermaid bin net cups some air pumps and tubing

There isnt many "how to's" on that system.....are the roots submerged all the time?

Yes and the air pump is run 24.7

Sounds like a good one to start out with.....I will give it a shot

Yeah give it a try I'm gonna build 2 of them myself to do flowering for my next grow.
