Re: BigSlim's first grow nothing fancy yet-2010

Looks identical to the setup both my friend and I are using only we used a 6 hole lid... made of course. Works quite well and the plants love it. The right nutes will also help it flourish. Enjoy and I'll be on this grow.

well i decided that big ass tub was gonna be to much of a pain for changing the water and such and since im not really tryin to make tons of green i decided to go with a much smaller tub especially since im only growing 1 plant right now i will save this tub till i know more of wat im doin and can come up with a better way to change the water blah blah blah lol

i just hope i havent done any damage to my baby movin her so much if so ohwell lesson learned right lol

ill have pics up of the new tomorrow

Re: BigSlim's first grow nothing fancy yet-2010

Actually slim, you'll have more room for error in a larger tub. But if you want to go for a single plant, get yourself a cooler with a drain or tap built in. Easy drainage and only drain half a time. Refill with fresh nutes with only half at a time to maintain stability in the system.

That cooler idea just came to me and I'm gonna go buy 1 tomorrow. Easy drainage.

HerbsNBuds' Deep Water Culture with Hydro Drip System CFL Cabinet Grow

check out this setup for a few ideas on some DWC or bubble systems. There is sort of 3 different setups here. Seems to be working nicely though. Its all about the nutes.

Re: BigSlim's first grow nothing fancy yet-2010

Don't go crazy on your spending, especially if you gonna grow 1 plant at a time. Small yield for big money is not the idea. What you have there will do the trick for a couple of nice plants. No sense in spending extra if you have no income. For that matter, even if you have an income, still not worth it. Keep it simple and the benefits outweigh the cost. The aero system you have there is perfect and you have to get some nutes. Any hydro stores near you? Or even online get some Fox Farm nutes and maybe another high Nitrate nutrient for veg stage. Thats why I love Fox Farm, some Grow Gig and Big Bloom at first for veg, then Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom for flower. Makes it pretty easy. Just give water for first week then start nutes gradually.

If you want, I can show you where to go to learn to mix nutes. Posts all over the place and 420 Mag itself has a lot of seasoned growers. I wouldn't even compare myself to some of the guys and girls who post here. Don't be discouraged to ask people on here for advice or even provide your own.

You never know what you can grow... until you smoke it

Re: BigSlim's first grow nothing fancy yet-2010

i was readin a couple threads sayin they go strait 12/12 lighting for faster results, i was wondering how this would do to go ahead and get the first grow under my belt

No matter what you read, doing teaches more. Got a timer?

Re: BigSlim's first grow nothing fancy yet-2010

Did you compress your soil around the roots? It should be a lot bigger at 2 weeks. These are 2 weeks from seed...

 

[BigSlim]

Re: BigSlim's first grow nothing fancy yet-2010

nah no timer

and i kinda did but didnt at the same time i didnt kno how compact my soil was sposed to be

Re: BigSlim's first grow nothing fancy yet-2010

Let them veg till you find a timer.
$4 Harbor Freight timer is more reliable than any person
