Background Info:
So, perhaps a little background is in order. This is really my 2nd ever grow, but the 1st using the CAP system. I ordered the CAP system while I've got a little General Hydroponics EcoGrower going. It's almost harvest time, but I've got Hermies in the batch, and I really didn't know what I was doing, basically I was experimenting using bag seeds and getting my feet wet (pun) with Hydro.
Here's a thread if you're interested in the Hermie battle:
Newb: Male or Female? Pics Here. Day 14 Flower - Thanks!
I got interested in growing, specifically using Hydro and the CAP system while reading through some of the journals here at 420. I've only been a hard-core fan of gardening for the last couple of months. I basically have killed all my house plants and just don't seem to have a green thumb with soil. I figured it was time to try Hydro after seeing the results.
I've had some "bumps" with the EcoGrower (small space, not easy to change res, smaller plants, drip only), but feel I've learned a great deal and ready to tackle a little larger grow.
I'm not really a DIY guy, I just prefer to purchase things I can plug-in and go. I also dig pictures and believe they can sometimes paint a better picture than my words can, so plan to see a bunch of images. Also, since I'm about 6 weeks into the veg cycle, the beginning here will be a "condensed" version to get up-to-speed.
I don't know if anyone will read my journal, but at the very least, it will allow me to document my trials and tribulations and maybe even improve my writing skills, ;-) I take criticism pretty well, so if you'd like to chime in, please don't hesitate. Also, of course any questions are welcome; don't know if I'll have the answers, but I'm sure someone will chime in.
Finally I'd like to provide individual shout-outs to several growers on the site, specifically the guys using the ebb-n-grow system. At this point I don't know if they want their names up on my journal, so they'll just remain nameless for the moment and when the time is right, I'll give proper recognition. In reality, everyone at 420magazine has been very helpful every time I've had a question. I don't think this site would thrive without the community feeling and closeness this site provides, both on a social level as well as the "definitive" growing resource. It's just a great place to be!
With that being said....On with the Grow!
