Rusty's 1200w "Amsterdam Bubblegum" Hydro/DWC

I bought some seeds from a friend which sounded too good to be true.
If its a 6 week strain it means I can fit five grows in a year not counting an overlap which is what I'm planning on doing.
I've got my old camera working again so I will have lots of nice high quality pics for you all.
Feel free to add any questions or comments.

AMSTERDAM BUBBLEGUM(formerly BubbleFunk) : Indoor/Outdoor

Description: - (formerly BubbleFunk)-Mostly Indica. Bubbleberry hybrid males crossed with a CouchlockAfghani Females produced this award winning plant.

I am using a 400w HPS, 400w MH and about 200w of CFL's at the moment. I'm waiting on a new 400w HPS bulb and a 90° lampholder so I can go vert with one light (probably the MH).

I'm going to use a mix of brands like always;
Canna: Rhyzotonic, Cannazyme and PK 13/14

CyCo: Base nutes, Fulvic acid, Dr. Repair

Earth juice: Nitrozyme, Catalyst

Accent Solutions: Seed soak, Seed and clone

Will be tuning in good luck n hope to see some nice bud porn from ya

Thanks for joining guys. I learn shitloads of new stuff from every grow, I can tell this one is going to be a good one. Hopefully in 10 weeks time I will be making smiley faces on my lounge room floor instead of the kitchen table. I'm hoping to get 2lb this time if all goes according to plan.

i've always wanted to try hydro. sub'd

Great to have you all along.

@2Rusty. I don't have a plan really. I've grown 10-12 crops now and each time I've done it differently with different results. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and won't have too many more to make. I would love to hit the one gram per watt mark. Last grow was less than half a gram per watt, which IMO is gay.

@Jimmy I currently have 15 feminized seeds going but will thin the numbers down to 7-8 depending on how they do in veg. I might keep two bonsais in DWC again it just all depends on how I end up for space.

I made a ghetto "Bubble Propagator", which seems to be doing the job quite nicely. Its got 3 decent air stones and 400L/H of air running through it. I've put a water heater in it also, set at 24°C. I've only given it a mild dose of Rhyzotonic so far, but will hit it with the other goodies next week when they all rear their ugly heads.

Do you guys like "Superthrive"?? I used it on one grow and only remember that it smelled like vinegar.

yeah easy 2lb off 7-8

Yeah i use superthrive for cloning and early veg. Dont use in flower due to it extending flowering times of plants. That is one of its uses.

I'll take your advice and get some. Its $14 for 120ml on ebay.

It is def. worth having in your arsenal. It is also good to water your plants with superthrive a couple of days before re-potting plants to reduce transplant shock. It is mainly b vitamins and hormones.

I stopped buying it because it was $30 for the smallest bottle in Canberra which only usually lasted one veg. It looked kinda gimmicky too with all of the hype on the pack and bottle.
Discount Hydroponics is easily half the price of any hydro store I've been to. I'm definitely going to grab some.

the thrive is great for cloning - veg
you only need a drop or 2 in most cases

Hey Crutch, I'm in for this ride.
I will watch them bitches closely
